My Funny Picture

What are some good pranks to pull up camping?

This past summer my cousins and me and my friends got into a 'prank war' it was fun but we need some better stuff to get them good. Last year we took their boxers and sprayed them with like 3 different body sprays and hung them all over their campsite. We need something good for next year! I'm sure they are all already preparing for it but we need something better!

2. Oooh, if you do a search on campout pranks, you get all sorts: http://www.scoutorama.com/library/smpranks.cfm Notice the "do not try these at home" at the top of this page http://www.scoutorama.com/library/smpranks.cfm
3. Spray the inside of there tent with pam cooking spray flies will drive them crazy.
4. Spraying cooking items or any smelly things in a tent to bring in flies could also bring in racoons and bears. I would steer clear of it for safety reasons and so my tent would not be ruined. Use common sence. Not to say that I have never pulled anything i shouldn't have when camping..... I like waiting for the folks in the other tent to dooze off and then banging pots and pans. Once when i was a kid we scarred the p*ss out of our buddies while camping on a river in northern MN. as they were drifting off to sleep, someone ran through the camp, stomping loudly and grunting. We told the guys in the other tent to stay put at all costs (yelling from in our tent across the campground), and we would investigate. We basically staged a series of beatings and maulings! The guys in the other tent heard us screaming and fighting, but were absolutly paralyzed with fear! We shook their tent and all that as the last act. I think one kid pissed his pants.
5. If you want to pull a good prank on them with out them knowing. If you go on a hike or an outing give them a snake of bananas, or one of those fruit cups. They wont think anything of it but after eating them the mosquito's will love them and no amount of bug spray will help. they more of it they eat the more flies will be coming for them. Or, get a spray bottle and mix sugar and water and tell them its really good bug spray.
6. "Old Man Tinkum Old Man Mask Joke Part of the camp experience was being treated to a scary story and being frightened by counselors and other campers. It was a tradition to take campers to the outskirts of a nearby cemetery and tell them the story of old man Tinkum. Old man Tinkum was supposedly a traveling salesman that lived in the area around the camp two hundreds years ago. Evidently he died in a fire while asleep in his home and still haunts the grounds of the camp to this day. To appreciate this fully it is useful to know that the camp was located in a secluded, wooded-tract of land, far from any urban areas. Wanting to carry on this tradition, I went about scaring the hell out of campers. My parents had purchased an old man mask that was freakishly realistic when they were in their early 20's and had given the mask to me for my use and enjoyment. It was in surprisingly good shape. When worn, the mask instantly transforms you into the creepiest looking person many have ever seen. The eyes seem to haunt from behind a bulbous, round, decaying, wrinkled, and bald head draped with white and gray hair at the sides and back. It is scary enough to freak out adults, so as you can imagine, it worked wonders on campers who had just heard the story of old man Tinkum. To complete the look of old man Tinkum I wore an old pair of jeans with a flannel shirt and carried a full sized wood chopping axe.Swinging Axe! My belief is that it is sometimes scarier to think you have seen something out of the ordinary than actually seeing something abnormal. With this philosophy in hand, I would walk about the campgrounds late at night, allowing only a few campers to briefly get a glimpse of me and then move out of their field of vision. As campers came out of their cabins to use the restroom or went to brush their teeth, I would sit or walk in the distance only barely visible. Many of the campers, bleary eyed from a full days activities, would do a double take, eyes bulging, and yell or run as their body's adrenal glands kicked in to deliver a shot of epinephrine in full force. Some, after their initial shock and flight, would come back to see if what they had seen was real or just a hallucination. If they did, I would hide from their view so they would have to wonder if they really did see old man Tinkum or their mind was just playing tricks on them. Of course there were occasions when I would just start walking towards them holding or swinging the axe and they would scream and run like the wind. How could I resist? I am still amazed at those who had the curiosity and courage to come back to see if they had really seen old man Tinkum. Believe me, if I saw someone in that mask, I would have bolted and never turned back. I just hope I didn't cause any of them to wet their cots the following night because they were too frightened to come out of their cabin to use the restrooms. In college, I always wanted to try scaring strangers by walking in the wooded areas of the campus with the mask on but feared I would be placed in jail for doing so. However, my roommates did help me to scare the hell out of our friends who had never seen the mask. After people had a few beers and were feeling tipsy or in an altered state, my roommate would begin asking people if they had heard about the old man stalker running loose in the city. A half hour later, I would sneak out of the house with a large kitchen knife, start banging on the door, and when they came to answer it, really give them a good scaring. One of my friends said it was a good thing he didn't have his gun because he would have shot me dead."

7. Fill boots with shaving cream. Put bugs in boots. Duct tape tent zipper from outside while person is sleeping in tent.
8. ahh yes my youth. Taking the labels off all the can goods was a good one. Pulling tent stakes in the middle of the night. Time tested and proven. If there is an outhouse plastic wrap under the seat is fun just remember it's there. The scary story does work well then a good old fashion snipe hunt to follow. Hope this helps but remember what goes around ...... Have fun
9. when they are asleep take of the flysheet & puton back to front so when they try to find the door its not there
