#128 Camping

By clander on Uncategorized

If you find yourself trapped in the middle of the woods without electricity, running water, or a car you would likely describe that situation as a “nightmare” or “a worse case scenario like after plane crash or something.” White people refer to it as “camping.”

When white people begin talking to you about camping they will do their best to tell you that it’s very easy and it allows them to escape the pressures and troubles of the urban lifestyle for a more natural, simplified, relaxing time. Nothing could be further from the truth.

In theory camping should be a very inexpensive activity since you are literally sleeping on the ground. But as with everything in white culture, the more simple it appears the more expensive it actually is.

Camping is a multi-day, multi-step, potentially lethal activity that will cost you a large amount of both time and money. Unless you are in some sort of position where you absolutely need the friendship of a white person, you should avoid camping at all costs.

The first stage of camping always involves a trip to an outdoor equipment store like REI (or in Canada, Mountain Equipment Co-Op). These stores are well known for their abundance of white customers and their extensive inventory of things for white people to buy and only use once. If you are ever tricked into going to one of these stores, you can make white people like you by saying things like “man, this Kayak is only $1200, if I use it 35 times I’ve already saved money over renting.” Note: do not actually buy the kayak.

Next, white people will then take this new equipment and load it into an SUV or Subaru Outback with a Thule or Yakima Roof Rack. Then they will drive for an extended period of time to a national park or campsite where they will pay an entrance fee and begin their journey. It is worth noting that white people are unaware of the irony of using a gas burning car to bring them closer to nature and it is not recommended that you point this out. It will ruin their weekend.

Once in the camp area, white people will walk around for a while, set up a tent, have a horrible night of sleep, walk around some more. Then get in the car and go home. This, of course, is a best case scenario. Worst case scenarios include: getting lost, poisoned, killed by an animal, and encountering an RV. Of these outcomes, the latter is seen by white people as the worst since it involves an encounter with the wrong kind of white people.

Conversely, any camping trip that ends in death at the hands of nature or requires the use of valuable government resources for a rescue is seen as relatively positive in white culture. This is because both situations might eventually lead to a book deal or documentary film about the experience.

Ultimately the best way to escape a camping trip with white people is to say that you have allergies. Since white people and their children are allergic to almost everything, they will understand and ask no further questions. You should not say something like “looking at history, the instances of my people encountering white people in the woods have not worked out very well for us.”

Note: this works for all races!

关于新地方的两个小问题:

1)更多表情虽然有列出来,但好象放不到帖子里
2)页面下方的广告有没有办法去掉?

回 CAVA:
1)更多表情符好像我可以用: :gromit_hat: :hutch: :wallace_yell:
2)广告条当然可以去掉。是我加上的,想覆盖一点下一年的费用。如果万一超出了,就拿下来。

I agree with camellia. It is a lot of fun. I bought an inflatable kayak. I used it in venice, 苏州,南京。 my friend borrowed it and kayaked along 漓江 for 2 weeks。

必须指出的是我不喜欢在指定 camp site 露营,上面写的应该是这个意思。如果在 camp site 露营,我宁可去住旅馆。我只喜欢要求 "Pack it in; pack it out." 什么都背背上的 backcountry。

这种活动我就搞过一次,还是住的人家搭好的有暖气有支起来的床的帐篷,更加那个啥,不过第一次还是觉得很新鲜的。

a horrible night of sleep,haha,我想体验一下。

我才是被讽刺的对象,笑嘻嘻那是真正的野人。 :lol:
我不仅去camp site,而且只愿意去预订好的,不喜欢万一找不到地方要睡车里。本地的露营地早早地就都给预定光了。明年我打算带欢欢去露营,估计四月份就得定八月份的计划。
