Just Sanitize It First
I suppose that this is a decent idea if you sanitize the uh, equipment properly beforehand. There is no way you want to use this thing without giving it a much needed clean. Here you’ve got a toilet repurposed as a combination beer cooler and grill.
They say that necessity is the mother of ingenuity, but are coolers and grills really that expensive? I think you could probably buy a cheap one for next to nothing or you can even borrow one from a friend. No toilet is really necessary.
Signs, Signs, Everywhere Signs
The Conveniences Of Home
What’s one supposed to do when you’re torn between the perks and comforts of home and the call of nature? In this case, it seems like the solution is to plug your window air conditioning unit into a portable generator and enjoy the nice, cool air! Hey, it’s not any more cheating than “camping” in an RV, is it?
These guys just want to enjoy their trip without sleeping in the heat. When you go camping in the summertime, you can wake up in a puddle of sweat. I see no problem with some AC.
Gonna Take A Ride
Now We’re Cooking
Although this rigged mailbox is not much of a solution when it comes to a campfire, it provides a nice, hot cooking surface for hot meals when you’re out in the wilderness, or just as likely in this case, in your backyard. That’s one way to enjoy a nice, hot dinner! We wonder if they clean it out after they cook on it and use it as a mail box afterwards.
If they do, we’d saw that these guys discovered a great use of their mailbox. Absolutely lovely.
Expensive Dryer
Porta-Potty
One of the most annoying things about camping is simply having to find a place to relieve yourself. Portable toilets are generally not the cleanest places in the world, after all. So you find yourself looking for other means.
Well, this camper found a great way to allow for a cleaner restroom experience, although maybe a shower curtain would help with the privacy element. That said, I would hate to drive behind these guys on the road. It must absolutely stink.
Staying Warm
Bike Life
People are often pretty passionate about cycling. Today bikes are more popular then they’ve ever been. This guy is obviously one of those folks. In this photo, he’s shown cuddling up to his bike to keep warm in the winter.
Just a man and his faithful bike. Meanwhile, a woman lays outside his tent, fending for herself against the wild and unforgiving elements. Sure, keep your bike safe from the elements, but do you really need to cuddle with it? Take the girl, but leave the bike here.
Not Scared Of Heights
Fast Getaway
Most people expect to get a little dirty when they spend a weekend camping, but they probably don’t expect something like this to happen. This probably resulted in a dirty situation for everyone. Imagine having to clean that dirt off your tent. In this case, it looks like a particularly inconsiderate driver decided to rev up and speed away from the tents, spraying everyone behind them with mud.
Not very nice! I’d keep driving and wouldn’t look back. In that situation, the best you can do is get out of there quick.
Not Exactly Roughing It
A Friendly Visitor
Nature is full of animals and when you go camping you are in their world and you better respect them. Horses are generally very friendly creatures, but that doesn’t mean you want one inside your tent. This inquisitive horse is probably giving someone quite the scare.
Their hooves are heavy and pack quite the punch when they mean to. Hopefully, that’s not the case, and all of the people are out of the tent as this picture is taken. This horse looks like he is pretty pissed off about something.
Shhhh…It’s A Secret
Do It Yourself
The do-it-yourself community has earned a reputation for ingenuity and creativeness, but this particular example of the DIY ethos may be lacking a bit in the safety department. Just take a second and really look at the piece of madness before you. Let’s hope that, at the very least, there isn’t anyone actually in the camper above while the truck is in motion.
It looks like the camper could fall off at any time. One has to question how one would even get up to that camper. There is absolutely no ladder.
Bursting At The Seams
Should Have Left It At Home
Here’s just another reason why cell phones and camping don’t mix. Not only do they distract you from the whole point of going camping, which is to get in touch with nature, but also things like this can happen. One submerged iPhone later, and this camper has more than just a wet seat to worry about.
While some of us would think of the cell phone as completely wasted. I think with a bag of rice that phone can be completely saved in no time at all.
One-Stop S’mores Station
Room For One More?
Some people follow the rules as they are laid out on the box, and others seem to consider such rules to be merely suggestions. You can bet which category the owners of these feet belong to. Some people have much cleaner feet than the other ones. Why assume that a tent can really only hold two people, after all?
It’s hard not to feel bad for the person on the bottom. His legs are just laying there kind of motionless. We hope he is okay.
That’s One Way To Do It
Prank Time
Pranks are almost as much a part of camping as marshmallows and ghost stories. In this case, one camper seems to have fallen asleep before the others and either he’s a very deep sleeper, or he had a few adult beverages beforehand. In any case, his friends certainly had a good time giving him a makeover!
From the looks of him, we’re almost sure that he looks better now than he ever has before. Look at his opened mouth expression.
Not The Best Spot
Soggy Spot
Unlike the “No Camping” sign earlier, this sign is probably one that people will be happy to obey. After all, not many people want to pitch a tent in a foot of muddy water. It would surely make for a rough camping trip to remember. You have to wonder what the person who reserved the spot is thinking now?
And what about the tent in the background? They must have been really determined to camp that weekend. I’d say they are taking quite the risk.
Next Time, Buy A Hammock
Better Than A Kite
As kids, we all struggled to get our kites to fly the way that they do in the commercials or movies. However, the owner of this tent has found out the hard way that with the right amount of wind, a tent can fly even better than a kite would! Next time, these campers will surely stake their tent into the ground appropriately.
We hope that nobody was in that tent when it took to the sky. Next thing we know, the person inside will wake up in a very magical land far away from our world.
That’s The Attitude
What An Invention
Boats are great for fishing and relaxing, but they don’t offer the most comfort when trying to avoid a sunburn or eat your lunch comfortably. Enter this man’s invention: the Picnic Boat! We don’t think we’ve ever seen anything better than this.
If you look closely, the man has even attached a motor to it and named his creation “Picnic Launch.” Nobody is going to have a picnic in better style. These guys are likely retired, but they are looking like they are living the life.
Oh, The Irony
The Porcelain Throne
For the sensible camper that wants the comforts of home without giving up the authenticity of nature, we have the Rock-o-Potty.
This camper took the time to find perfectly sized rocks for the creation of a toilet that may not be super comfortable but is a step up from squatting down in the woods.
Doggie Vacation
It’s A Mini
You have to respect someone who attempts to downsize a little bit in life. However, this biker may have taken things a little bit too far.
I suppose that a tent that you can only fit your head in will keep the bugs from biting or the morning light from waking you up, but wouldn’t a sleeping bag have fit on this person’s Harley, too?
Oops Pow, Surprise!
A Little Childish
Alright, these custom roasting sticks are pretty funny at first sight, but isn’t this a little bit childish? You have to wonder whether any kids are also around the campfire and seeing these roasting sticks get used.
Oh, never mind. This kind of humor definitely involves pre-teens.
Yes, It Is
What A Destination
A memorable name is an important part of any location, whether it’s a business or even a campsite. However, you have to think that the name “Sandy Balls” probably leads to more juvenile jokes than the owners were expecting.
Still, it’s probably good for business. Have they thought about making t-shirts?
Time To Go Home
Zipper Shortage?
The zipper is such an integral part of camping that it’s hard not to associate that zipping sound with the beginning of another day in the wilderness.
In this case, however, the maker of this tent decided against the tried-and-true zipper, with what may have been unintended consequences as a result.
