    Default 101 SPOOF top tips

    1. try and put as many rocks in your colleges pack at every oppotunity , feel better knowing there pack really is getting heavier.
    2. Tie all kit to a piece of string, that way, if you can't find anything, you just move along the string until you do!
    3. Never have curry if you are sharing a tent/shelter with someone (unless you want all the tent space).
    4. Create the effect of being abducted by aliens by drinking two bottles of vodka. You'll invariably wake up in a strange place the following morning, having had your memory mysteriously 'erased'.
    5. Don't waste money buying expensive binoculars. Simply stand closer to the object you wish to view.
    6. Vegetarians coming to camp dinner? Simply serve them a nice bit of steak or veal. Since they`re always going on about how tofu, Quorn, meat substitute etc `tastes exactly like the real thing`, they won`t know any difference.
    7. Invited by vegetarians for camp dinner? Point out that since you`d no doubt be made aware of their special dietary requirements, tell them about yours, and ask for a nice steak.
    8. Camp hygiene a problem? Wrap yourself in masking tape and remove the dirt by simply peeling it off.
    9. Avoid cutting yourself while chopping wood by getting someone else to hold the log while you chop away.
    10. Never argue with women.
    11. Don't pick your nose, or your brains'll fall out.
    12. Don't forget the pancakes on Jiff Lemon Day.
    13. Carry a peeled onion in your armpit to cure a cold-jc
    14. Stuff a peeled onion where the sun doesnt shine for general wellbeing-oetzi
    15. If ya unscrew ya belly button, your bum falls off-spikey

    17.
    ice cream is far too hot to eat when it first comes to the table you must let it cool down before you eat it ( blowing on it helps)
    18.
    It is very bad luck not to name every ant you come across in your hole life-jd
    19. Avoid having to carry a heavy tent or tarp by checking into a decent hotel. Room service also means you minimise the need for pots and pans-
    20. if fishing and you come across a particularly good fishing spot, make a small mark on the side of the boat next to the good spot.
    21. Always remember to take a film crew with you, when exploring the wildernes.
    22. When attempting fire by fiction, pages of Farenheight 451 burn the easiest.
    23. Be careful when camping not to spend too much time in your bivvy; the police have the power to arrest you for loitering within tent.
    24. Ratpacks are best eaten if the rat has been freshly killed.
    25. Save time, by pouring a mug of Tea/Coffee/Soup into your sleeping bag, before leaving home.

    If fishing and you come across a particularly good fishing spot, make a small mark on the side of the boat next to the good spot.


    P.S. Always ensure you get the same boat next time

    Surely, there is too much margin for error there. Doh!

    Why not simply float a leaf in the exact spot you caught the fish.

    All you really need is a mobile phone. That way you get to travel light, and when you get in trouble just call someone to come and rescue you. If you're lucky, you'll get a helicopter flight out of it too. Cool.

    Increase the weight of your rucksack by simply tying old telephone directorys to the straps.
    Alternate Yellow pages and Thompson Local for a more colourful effect.

    If a man is talking in the woods and there is no woman to hear him, is he still wrong?

    You can actually prevent this from happening by stirring a teaspoonful of cornflower into your mug to thicken it and stop it spilling.

    If you get sore feet while walking with a heavy pack.
    Take your boots and socks off.
    After a couple of miles walking barefoot.
    Your boots will feel comfortable again.
    Soup it up!

    If you disagree with someones point of view, always "walk a mile in their shoes"

    Then they will be a mile away, and you will have their shoes.

    Rubbing charcol on your face is a natural insect repellant. (tried and tested!)

    Do not bother with a zoom lens on your camera just run towards the subject.

    This is beginning to sound a bit like Viz Top Tips:

    NO TIME for a bath? Wrap yourself in masking tape and remove the dirt by simply peeling it off.

    Thicken up runny low-fat yoghurt by stirring in a spoonful of lard.

    Minor skin grafts can be performed on pigs by covering any cuts and grazes with thin strips of bacon.

    When pitching your tent on a slope always point the door uphill for ease of getting out.

    A hand drill expert need never take anything with him to light fires as he will always be able to find wood to rub together where ever he goes.

    If at first you don't succeed - pause, reflect, change something and try again.
