Ah camping....
I was in Poland this summer, camping, in the bush somewhere. Some of you guys know how it is, camping is only fun at night, in the morning, hangovers are a bitch, and you dont know what you did the night before and who the person sleeping next to you is(just hope its someone the opposite sex)..
So, me and about 6 other guys started drinking at 9 in the morning to cure a hangover, seemed to work after a 40 (1.18 L of 8.2% alcochol). We got off to a good start. So about an hour later, people started waking up and we needed food, the girls didnt wanna go, so me and 4 other guys went to get food(meaning nicotene and booze). To get to the city took about an hour walk, so we made a pitstop on the way, there was a little store on the way called "Malinka", which translates into "raspberry", anyways, since it is Poland, every store sells alcohol, so we each bought apx 5 beers a head (2.5L) and sat by the curb in front of the store until we got kicked out for being to loud(we started singing =) ), so we sat by the highway drinking beer and yelling at cars going by (dont ask).
We didn't get to the city and 1 of the guys went back to camp, then in about half an hour, another one went, just me and a buddy left, barely able to stand upright(after about 3 forties in apx 3 hours). We got an idea, get some booze and walk to the city, then we saw an answer to our problems, there was some sort of BEATER bike on the other side of the store, we jacked it .. walking. I sat on the bar in the front, and he(Tomek) drove, he got tired, and about a kilometer later, i started driving. He went to go get some more "browary i belty" meaning beer and cheap wine, and i just drove around on the bike, then when I was driving away from him, he asked what i wanted, i turned my head, then tuened for some reason, hit the curb and bailed into the ditch I bruised my tailbone so bad that i couldnt sit down for about 2 hrs.
On we went, walking the bike (we couldnt ride it, ass hurt), we finally got to the city (not really a city, only about 2000 residents, but better alcohol anyways) when we got there, we had 40 PLN (enough for a case of beer(24 cans)). That wasnt meerly enough, so he showed me some of his skills, we ended up walking away with 2 cases of beer for the price of one, luckily i had a backpack and the baeter bike had one of those baggage thingies.
When we finally got back, it was around 6 (on the way back, we ditched the bike about 100 M aways from the Malinka and went to buy some motivation (beer) for our remaining coin to drink on the spot. Now it was 6.30 and I drank about 6L of beer/cheap wine so far..
We got back to camp around 8(took 1.5 hours to walk 1 km) and we were exhausted, time for a beer..
Time for a swim in the lake, our entire group went for a swim (minus one guy that was already sleeping from overboozing) I decided to show everybody how COOL i was so I showed them how me swim through about 50 meters of willows(those plants with those thick black long things on top), when I got to the other side, my entire body was stracthed to hell, people were just looking at me with awe..then I looked at my body and saw what was up, oh well, I didnt fell a thing, Some guys were swimming around naked and 2 chicks were topless(nobody complained)..The next couple of hours were sorta a blur, I went for a walk with a "laska" meaning chick somewhere, but dont remember anything else happening..
Bondfire time, drinking time, showing what im made of time :crazy:
The bondfire was on and there was about 20 of us there altogether, I wanted to show that i can drink 4 cans of beer (2L) in 4 minutes, guess what, If you if you punch a hole in a beercan, and open it up normally, beer flows like a river, 2L was done in less than 4 minutes, i felt so proud. Half an hour later, it was hard to sit down, sometimes you overshoot the log/place you want to sit and bail hard on your ass or your back, anyways, being as smart as I am, i decided to brake some branched into smaller pieces and chuck them into the fire, I tried to get up, took a couple of steps and bailed(faceplanted) into the branched and twigs we gathered, if it wasnt for a hoody i was wearing, i could have busted my face good, luckily i landed on some smaller twigs and not bigger branches.. Some guy helped me up, and asked "are you okay" I said, i need a beer, so i got one (9L..so far) I sat down by the chick that i went for a walk with, she let me put my hand around her, and she took time, and was stroking it with her fingers, I asked her i she wanted to split a "belt" (cheap wine, .75L of 12% alcohol for about 1USD) she said fine, i was up for it, so i asked a buddy to get me one because i couldnt stand up, so we split it, I was so out of it that i dont even remember drinking my half, but could smell it on my breath, so I think i did. So since I was so confident I decided to show off a bit, "anyone want to see if they could beat me in chugging a beer"? The challenge was accepted, I lost, horribly, but did finish, which upped the count to like 10L of alcohol in a day.
I needed to piss bad, went about 10 M away from the croud, dont ever know how i got there, tried to bust it out and BAILED hard over a MINI cliff (10 meters or so, at like a 45 degree angle), I battered my right knee so hard that two weeks later, it was still all purple (ask MagiMaster, he saw the knee), anyways, I dont know how brought me up and how I got to some tent(not mine), but I ended up waking up in a tent with 2 other guys :nervous:
The good thing is, i realized it is possible to drink 10L of alcohol(mixed) and not puke, pretty good, huh? :toocool:
That was day 2 of a 5 day camping trip, Ill keep the story going later on, see if anybody is interested at all ..
GOOD TIMES :D

anyway yeah i love camping trips... last summer, went on a trip with some mates to this secluded forest with this massive lake in it.. we had it all to ourselves, best thing about it was one of my mates owns a boat, so we were able to ski, knee board, go tubing etc. on this lake that nobody else occupied. Argh! absolute bliss,
Oh and yeah, we got pissed every night which made it even better! ;) |

FYI: That's a pretty common technique around these parts. Over here in Aus it's called a "shotgun"... it was a really popular way to down beer when I was at school. |

| damn i couldn't finish reading that story...too much drinking involved, i'm getting queezy. lol i'd say the best camping trip was with my dad when i was 14. we went to Yosemite National Park for about a week. i went rock climbing for the first time and almost crapped my pants! saw a bear and there was a meteor shower while we were up there so we were fortunate to be seriously elevated from ground level w/ no street or city lights to get in the way. it was beautiful. i've also done the whole grand canyon thing a few times and that is always an experience! i've never gone on a trip like yours though...i would love to go camping w/ my bf and some friends though and just party. |

does sleeping in a tent in your garden count as a camping trip?
[edit]
i'm getting old i cant remember anything anymore :(
I went to two camping trips with my grand parents... both times there were a forrest fire within a few miles from where we were.... didn't want to go camping anymore after last time... those fires scared the out off me.

camping without drinking? huh?
maybe when youre less than 17 or something...girls are often against the idea simply because of the bathroom issue!
alt i do have to say i was mindblown and a little nautious reading all that you guys drank in Poland...well when in Rome-
ive had some great camping experiences, and truthfully the best have been when i was little and didnt know the perils/pleasures of drinking. last summer was poss the best compromise. i went up to Steamboat Spgs CO with a friend to meet some other friends, and needless to say there was a fair bit of drinking. with this comes the requisite breaking in the woods and eating way too much food thats not especially good for you. the last night we went up to someplace mere miles from the Wyoming border, called King Salomon Falls or something like that...
we managed to remember lots of liquor, and food, but failed to bring pots and pans to make said food with. luckily our food offered a solution- eat the Jiffy Pop right away, and then cook the turkey burgers in the aluminum pan, using bacon as grease...now tell me drunks are stupid!
alright, so thats disgusting - and not necessarily smart, just kinda clever. eating and drinking ensued and we passed out when it began to rain.
the next morning we headed towards the falls, luckily beating the rush of tourists that came at about noon. basically its a pretty hairy walk to a pool set under cliffs with some great diving - totally unexpected. sadly, i didnt have the proper attire or specific desire (ie i pussied out) to jump, but it was truly one of those magical, awesome places i know ill have to visit again| |

Well I've been camping quite a few times with mates and family, but the most memorable was a night of complete hell, which me and my mates who were there still laugh about today. Btw this might take a while.
Theres like a small theme, outdoor park place on the outskirts of Northampton called Billing Aquadrome. Very big place, its easy to break into so we used to break in and camp on this hill nearby which was the councils land so it was free, and we used all the camps facilities like rides, arcades, pubs and so on.
This time we brought a lot of alcohol, stolen from home, brought from shops all sorts, and 5 of us went on a major binge, we went down to the major facilities and this guy a couple of years older then us who went to our school was there he was a ing twat who we loathed he didn't like us we didn't like him, he's threatening to get security so we're like ing get security mate, we all walk off back towards are camp up the top of this big hill, and will decide to get hammered, whisky, vodka, beer you name we had it we necked everything in sight, it then got about 1 am and we were getting very cocky, running around smashing planks of wood up burning stuff, then my mate Jason says 'hey lets go and break in and climb up to the top of that roller coaster or ferris wheel and climb up the top of it' so we're like yeah, I stumble to this ledge on the hill whilst we're on our way down, and my best mate Seb jumps onto the ledge which wasn't very sturdy, suddenely the earth crumbles at our feet and we end up rolling down this hill, my mate falls about 15 ft however I freefall easily 80ft and to make it even Worse the area was nothing but stinging nettles totally infested by them! I dunno if you have them in States and so on, but Europeans will know what I'm on about, because I'm drunk I can't feel the stings.
So we're on our way to this rollar coaster which we're going to climb up, and Seb decides to start punching lights as we walk along, we reach an area about 200 metres from the main park and theres this powerbox thing, then Seb ing rips this box opens just grabs these ing wires and rips them all out, suddenely the park blacks out every light turns off in every shalley, motel, caravan, then Seb pushes these wires back, suddenely every light turns one in the whole camp, even the ing rides! and they've been shut for about 2 hours! haha, we countinue on with ppl looking out of windows saying hey you ing hooligans, we say off as you do and countinue on our way, we reach this grassy area full of willows, and suddenely the more sober of us all Jordan darts off without a word, we're like what the , so we countinue on then 5 minutes later odd we walk on and see these two security vans so we're like and decide to climb this fir tree, we're up there and we know these security guards are after us even if we are drunk, we're up in this tree four of us and you can see torches and people walking underneath, suddenely my mate Jay slipped, brought down Seb, who in return nudged me and Bully off this branch we end up in a pile on the floor, next thing I know we're running and this security guard jumps in front of us 'nobody ing Move!' he shouts so I punch him one around the face, putting the poor bastard on his arse, we countinue on running, then these lights from a van are on us and theres about 3 security guards, so we're fighting the lot of us punching kicking out at anything that moves, this guy who looked like sipowitz from NYPD blue tried to get bully who knocked him off balance I remember Bully kicking him, then going to kick him again this guy grabs his leg so I run and kick this security guard, I turn to see Seb and Jay grappling with the two other guards so I start running in punching, next thing we know another security van appears with 3 more guards and the bloke who I floored had returned.
Seb and Jay give up and get in the van, me and bully run we can't see all, we're stumbling all over the place, people from the shalleys are shouting theres them bastards get them! to the guards, we run to this area away from the shallys we have no bearings of where we are we're lost, then suddenely I get tackled up around my shoulders and I'm on the floor, Bully kicks the guard who tackled me, I get we're faced by about 3 other guards now, we both charge in punching, kicking, headbutting, elbowing, kneeing, it was carnage, I must of got punched once or twice but I couldn't feel a single thing, I manage to punch the security guard I was fighting knocking him to his knees, Bully goes for a run, so I run but decide to head to towards the shallys, next thing I know I'd tripped over someones front garden wall and was lying in a flower bed laughing hystericially, I remember then getting picked up and thrown to the floor, and 3 security guards surrounded me by the van, kicking me around the floor, I curl up into a ball and try to shield myself, I get thrown into the van, with my two other mates inside, bully gets thrown in about 2 minutes after me, I just remember we all sat there in this van laughing whilst it drove off and the driver saying 'You ing s when we get back to HQ we're going to all ing kick ten shades of out of you and call the cops' it was still funny, then we end up at this compound on the outskirts of the camp near the entrance, the place is full of security guards, most of which weren't there at the actual scene but had obviously heard about it on the radio, we're loaded into this office, and I remember a guard saying 'you ing twats we're calling the ing cops your going to jail you s!', then the head guard enters this office, and says right heres some paper sign your names and addresses your banned for life, so we sort of write Jay suddenely writes his name as Darth Vader and this guard looked at it and roared get the out of here, I put my name down as god or something but it was not reable they ended up chucking me outside with Jay, everyone else turned up and we left.
The night I remember being still drunk but cold, we all had a go at jordan for running, next thing I know its morning, and I wake up, seeing Bully sitting by some burnt out campfire, theres sick all inside the tent I feel nothing but intense pain all over and I feel rough, I look at my arms and my entire body was covered in the nastiest reddish rash it wasn't the usually stinging nettle bubble type sting marks, I was in ing agony, I call me mar to pick me up as I could barely walk, I end up in Accident and Emergency that morning, I'd gone into toxic shock due to the nettle stings and had been stung between 300 to 400 times, my hand looked like something from the freaks, it was about 5 times its normal size. After being bed ridden for a good week, I turn up at school and I was a ing hero/laughing stock as my story had been told to everyone still I got respect for the fighting and all that. But it definatly comes under one of my classic nights. |

Yeah and the thing with security guards over here. Are some are just normal people who want a career in security without the hassle of being a cop, others are people who failed to get into the police, and the rest are psycho's deemed unfit to work in any field of work where your given a weapon, and have in certain circumstances the chance to kill.
If they had guns though I would of just freezed on the spot, actually knowing how stupid I get when intoxicated I would of probably ended up in jail for a few years or 6 feet under lol. |
