Questions about camping.

27th June 11

  • What sorts of accommodations are allowed on a “campsite”?
  • Can you sleep on a pile of blankets on the ground?
  • How do people (i.e., “camp masters”) know you’re a camper and not just a regular person sleeping on a pile of blankets on the ground?
  • Would you be bitten by mosquitoes?
  • Can you wrap yourself in a mosquito net? Would that protect you?
  • Would the other campers laugh at you if you were sleeping on a pile of blankets? Would they beat you up? Would they call you “Old Pile-y”?
  • Would a hippie let you borrow a tent? Or “crash” in his or her tent?
  • How can you tell the difference between a friendly campground hippie and a Manson-styled killer cult hippie?
  • What if the hippie smelled like patchouli and you decided halfway through the night you would rather sleep on your pile of blankets? Would he or she be offended?
  • Have you ever read a news story about a guy that went camping by himself by a river in the woods and all he took with him was a pile of blankets and he was very blase about it, like, how hard could it be, all I need are these blankets? And then they found out he had died? Because the temperature dropped, or there was a flood, or a hippie had killed him, or something else nature-y had happened to him? And they interviewed other people at the campsite, and they thought he was just a guy with a pile of blankets and they all called him “Old Pile-y” and what was he doing there anyway? If so, could you send me that news story?
