Camping Checklist for People Who Hate Camping

Camping in the wilderness is a great idea, at least in theory — and as long as you don’t actually have to go. In reality, camping is unpleasant, dirty and boring. That is why humans evolved from cave dwelling savages into neatly-trimmed urbanites who live in houses made of bricks.

Unfortunately, there may be times when you have to go camping, normally due to family commitments and/or to avoid the wrath of your husband/wife/whatever. By packing all the items featured on the following camping checklist for people who hate camping, your experience will be slightly more bearable.

The Essential Camping Checklist for Unhappy Campers

Alcohol

Alcohol is the lifeblood of humanity. It’s almost impossible to be bored when you’re drunk, so take enough booze to last your entire expedition. A mix of drinks is good. Take at least a gallon of rum, whisky or vodka and a large keg of beer. Take a crate of wine for the early evenings and a couple of bottles of absinthe.

Cigarettes

For a week-long camping trip, you should take at least 1,000 cigarettes (50 packets of 20). It is difficult to buy cigarettes in the wilderness, unless you can find some hillbillies or a group of escaped convicts.

Weed

Obviously, right?

Medical Kit

Pack your medical kit with care — your life may depend on it. Here are the most essential medical items for happy campers:

• Nicotine patches or gum (in case you run out of cigarettes)
• Rubbing alcohol (in case you run out of other alcohol)
• A massive bag of weed (in case you run out of weed)
• Rolling papers
• Spare cigarette lighter
• Novelty adhesive bandages
• Condoms (for you or the hillbillies/escaped convicts)
• Lube

Grill and barbecuing equipment

Outdoor grilling is one of the few good things about camping. Take a decent-sized grill and loads of fire-starting tools (and fuel). Rubbing sticks together to make fire is totally pointless when you can buy a disposable lighter for $0.50. Bring meat in a cool box or hunt a deer or a bear and throw it on the grill.

Adult Entertainment

Unless you’re going camping with a whole load of hot and horny men/women/homosexuals/hippies/ladyboys/whatever, you’re going to need some porn. Due to the lack of internet, you’ll have to resort to old-school magazines. Take at least one for each day. Women should take a heavy-duty dildo for both pleasure and for clubbing fish and small animals. Men should take a robust sex doll (for pleasure and for crossing lakes and rivers).

Weapons

The wilderness can be a dangerous place, so load up on weapons for protection against bears, lions, bulls, beavers and eagles. Weapons are also fun. Mini crossbows, blunderbusses, throwing knives and shotguns are excellent for self-defense and great fun too!

Explosives

Clinical studies show that mindless destruction is one of the most effective ways of relieving boredom (and losing weight). Pack dynamite, fuses and detonators. You can spend hours blowing up trees, cliff faces and other natural features. Dynamite is also great for fishing.

Bug Repellent

If you really have to go camping, pack insect repellent (at least 70% DEET). But you should seriously reconsider your options if you hear mosquitoes are common at your intended campsite. In such extreme cases, you can avoid the trip entirely by breaking your own leg, shooting yourself in the foot or throwing yourself down a well.
