Camping pranks
#1
I was just thinking of this as i reading a post from Canadian Chic about her camping trip so it made me wonder what devious and fun pranks everyone has done while camping?
Only fair that i go first. Last time I went camping, "Blair Witch Project'' was in theaters. I've done plently of pranks before but this is one that I can think of on top of my head. During the camping trip with several of my friends, there was some HSers and College kids at the next camp site. During the night we made about 6 Wooden "Blair Witch'' symbols and tied them in the trees and on the ground in front of their tents. We had to leave early so I never got to see their reactions when they woke up though

oh boy i have dozens
theres the infamous 'pop the paper back behind the tent' gag when two people inside are "busy"
we rigged the tent zipper so it wouldn't open on one
put honey all over the inside of somebody's tent and watched raccoons have a blast
rigged the tent so when the person stood up, the tent collapsed
snakes in the feet of sleeping bags
one night really really late we "invaded" a campsite where a whole bunch of annoying city people were and had a paintball war with M4 guns... i told the cops that in the darkness we lost track of where we were
we released my cousin's police dog on an unsuspecting friend of ours
put a dead deer in the bed with a buddy of mine, boy was he suprised
i tricked a few stragglers into eating berries that made them puke for hours
handed a buddy of mine some poison ivy to wipe with
threw a bear skin over myself (with the bear head and teeth still attatched) and broke though a cabin door and scared the bejesus out of a few buddies of mine
built a fire wall around the tent of a fellow firefighter and screamed "FOREST FIRE!" he just about shat himself
had a little fun with a coyote call in a very populated camp ground where city people are known to dwell and be petrified of the bump in the night lol
when camping in the winter a few of us cut a tree down in the middle of the night and screamed AVALANCHE!!!!!! and watched the camp empty lol
again when camping in the winter i hid inside a snowman and "came to life"
i've grabbed people's ankles from underwater and pulled them down
drew on their face in the night with permanent marker
tipped over the outhouse
rigged the outhouse walls to fall on command
put a stuffed skunk that was in the sleeping position in bed with a buddy of mine
flooded tents with indian tanks in the middle of the night
stuffed bear on his back paws placed at the feet of a sleeping camper so that it was the first thing he saw when he woke up
some very well-dug holes
switching toothpaste with creamed anchovies
doing some interesting things to ruin the value of toothbrushes
shortsheeting people
a single rock placed inside a pillow case so the person won't find it until they're sleeping and their head hits it
i took a deer head off of my wall and made it sound like it was attacking the camp, placed it so the outline was visible from the inside of the tent and made it look like it was charging the tent
took a few buddies camping in the middle of a cowfield (didn't tell them it was a cowfield) they were pretty suprised to find all of our bovine buddies munching outside the tent
when we made sure all of our friends were asleep, we packed our things up and moved about 50 yds away and took everything except them with us... we convinced them that they must have slept-walked and moved all of their stuff because we'd been there the whole time and were really scared when they weren't with us in the morning (we eventually told them the truth)
NOTE: if you think that some of these things are crude, they are nothing compared to what we've had done to us when camping. i had buddies fill my clothes pack with fire ants... talk about burning ring of fire... SHEESH... another one has a pet tarantula and brought it along without me knowning it, i woke up with it on my forehead and i'm not the biggest fan of huge hairy spiders being on me... they've left me hanging in trees, replaced my morning milk with white paint, put mice in my sleeping bag, and so much more lol
SECONDARY NOTE: the reason why we're so 'mean' to the city people that come up here is because they treat us like dirt... so what comes around goes around

sittin around the campfire with a bunch of city folks and then havin the amish walk up with sum pitch forks can sure get sum people scared.
or taking a bunch of people down to WV and camping way back in the woods
or just take a shotgun out, after people are into their tents, and rack it. that gets peoples hearts pumpin.
