Branson Missouri. We rented a pop up camper. The metal frame broke and we had to hold up the top with two by fours. Needless to say, those wer not very stable and collapsed on us in the middle of the night. Next night, we discovered a skunk was sleeping underneath our camper. We we're all afraid to get in and out of it because of getting sprayed! We called the camping venture Branson, ''Misery''.

Boundary Waters (Minnesota/Canada border). It would have been pretty cool, but we did not plan it out very well, and canoed 15 miles the first day. After that we were exhausted, but still had a ways left to go. There were also some pretty nasty thunderstorms that week, so it made for an interesting story.

Well my dad had to do a survivor camp while he was in the army.

He told me some guy wiped his butt with some poison ivy.

I've a couple bad ones but that has not stopped me from doing it.. l LOVE CAMPING>>> l remember the very first time l went on a camping/canoe trip we were all new at it.. & l wore jean shorts on the river & wet jean shorts do not dry fast & that caused chafing,, then l fried cause l dint wear enough sun block, & l wore flip flops in the river which got sucked off my feet & went with the current(lost those) so l was shoeless till we got back to campsite, then l started my period, then we had a very little two man tent & l t was so hot, & being sunburned on top of that>>>> l was miserable. But l just learned from the experience!!

l went on a backpacking trip for two nights with some friends along the Pacific coast. Everything went fine, until we headed back. We woke up late, missed the low tide, and had to wait several hours before the tide went out enough to hike back. And we did not have enough food, or water. And it was raining, of course. So we were cold, very hungry, and very thirsty, and did not get home until 4am.

Actually, it was still a fun trip overall.

Wilderness camping the first time out.
A bear at our food that we thought was safe hanging from a tree branch.
l was sprayed by a skunk.
A severe thunderstorm at night was shooting lightening all around us, limbs were breaking off the trees & trees were blown over.
We thought lightening would strike a tree next to us & we would get electrocuted through the wet ground.
The tent started to leak & started to fill with rain because the whole area was a low spot that was not draining.
Everything was wet & mosquitoes were ravenous after the rain stopped.
We were lost for two days.
But it did not make me give up camping.

2 times, both at Shabbona State Park, Illinois. Once it poured rain for three days(at least the tent did not leak); once the temp. dropped from 75 degrees during the day to 20 degrees at night, with a 40 degree summer sleeping bag and one kerosene lantern in the tent for heat(it raised the temp. 1 degree)

ware to start. one time we stayed in a pop up for deer hunting in northern Wis/ had to sleep in our deer suits & boots. & woke up with frost on us. that week sucked for sleep. all my camping is done in Wis. this other time we hit 2 deer at one time rolled the car. & had to wait for the dnr over knight pretty chilly night. & no beer to top it off. then one time the fire department came & made us put our fire out. l guess there was a fire danger. storms l seen lighting hit a tree 15 yards from my camper. very loud the hair on my body was all standing. smoked like crazy.run out of beer every time l go l bring more it still is never enough.and that is when things go bad!!!!

Crater lake Ntl. Park, Oregon. Tent camping with my brother. A noise woke me up in the middle of the night. l looked around in the dark & saw my brother eating the food at the pick nick table.

l thought l would scare him by sneaking up on him & grabbing him.

l threw my arms around him & screamed to scare him. l immediately knew l had done wrong when l realized l had hold of a live fur rug.

The bear spun & ran away at the same time l reached the far side of the pick up & climbed inside.

Bro still laughs at the time l scared the bear.

l was out camping once and we got 50mph straight line winds. It poored and it was just horible. Our tent got bent and was covered in mud and sticks and all kinds of junk. So we fixed things up as good as we could and then we kept having fun. No big deal.
