My guide to camping

First and foremost, pick a place that alcohol is permitted. This is going to cancel out pretty much all state parks that I know of. Imagine my surprise when I first saw the sign that said alcohol prohibited. If I had any cell service I would have taken a picture and posted it but thats another subject. So it's no problem for me to break the law so I drank without any worries but just to be safe I suggest liquor,mixers and plastic cups to keep it on the dl.

I highly recommend Off Skintastic. Had I put it on, I would not have a mosquito bite on my toe rubbing against my sandle right this minute. Note to self, bringing it along is not enough, you actually have to apply spray.

Another very important part of camping is smores. Ok so this is the one area at which I excelled. I had 6 marshmellows, very few marshmellow fires, graham crackers, half a hershes candy bar and sticky hands. Baby wipes work great at wiping off stickiness from the smores. Or any other things you need to clean.

Also, try not to run screaming everytime you see a "stink bug" or a huge black wasp the size of a golf ball. This tends to scare other campers and small children.

Sunscreen. I'm not going to dumb this down for you.

Bring a flashlight. Or 3 or 4. As many as you can.

Go camping where you have cell phone service. You can imagine how awful it feels to not know what time it is, who has called, what random picture mails you are missing etc. etc. Or to be honest it was actually kinda nice and quiet for a change.

Alright, I think that should do it. I hope this is a good guide to camping. Oh as a afterthought I should add do not go camping if it is going to be over 93 degress. Because that was about all I could handle. My next trip won't be until at least October when it's cooler.
