Go camping! :)

[Mugiwara-no-Basuke]

Hey everyone!

Tomorrow I'll go camping with my scouting tribe (people in portuguese scounting between 18 and 22 years old which are part of the same team), in Costa da Caparica (near Lisbon), from Friday (tomorrow already! :P) morning to Sunday afternoon, so I'll be absent of AF in that period (snif snif, will really miss you people!)

We are 7 but Saturday everbody from my group in Lisbon will join us, so we'll be about 40 from all ages so it gotta be great!




So is/has anyone been a scout as well ? I'm one for only 2 years so joined in really late... (but it's never too late for anything, almost :P)


Here is some stuff will do out on that camping:

- Set up our new-bought tent:

 

- Make a table for mealings with trunks:

 

- Go to the beach (ah ah) and do some really long walkings along with the nature:

 

So, I hope I'll have fun and to see you again pretty soon! Take care

not really a nature person (I think stuff that happens because of nature is cool.. but can't go out much because mosquitos and bugs are mean.. oh so mean..)

aside from that, I guess camping is fun, if you go with the right people.. and not.. "epicly cluelessly map lost..." xDD
then.. everyone gets lost, or that one person does.. and yeah.. (it makes funny memories though.. lol)

anyways, have fun xD

Lol, here in the states we have, Cub Scouts(elementary age), Weeblos(junior high) and Boy Scouts(High School), well that was the range when I was growing up. I was kicked out of Cub Scouts. My Den Mothers son and I were best friends and we were playing around with our bb guns out in the woods and she wasnt happy that I shot him, granted he had shot me also. So she kicked me out.

But sounds like you should have a blast. I'm actually going hiking up at a lake about 45 miles from me Saturday, will probably only do around an 8 mile hike, we will see. I normally powerhike and see how fast I can do these, but I want to start taking my time on them and take more pictures. So might be a shorter hike in same time frame. Will post some pics later when done.

We do have scouts around here aswell, but they don't do anywhere near the stuff you do, here it's just about learning to tie useless ropes...and....Tie more ropes i guess, not much more to it.

Anyways, your trip looks like wicked fun, love camping myself, though haven't done it very much lately..

Ah ah, indeed mosquitos (bugs not that much) have very bad at night, sometimes you get lucky sometimes you don't, as everything :P

Camping is very fun indeed, you should try it out
Yes, lol, we have orientation sense, don't get lost :P

Thanks a lot, I'll take if I did, but grantly I will

Seems very interesting! I really love hikes by the nature, really relaxing though I walk pretty fast xD
I'll be waiting for the pics then, have a very nice time you too!!

We also learn to make ties, but only the usefull ones :P the ones needed to make those tables and other things
Well, as soon as you start you'll get to it more frequentely, same thing as for animes :P

[MVPDJ23]

have a nice trip bro!

[Mugiwara-no-Basuke]

Thanks a lot bro! Almost packed up everything :P

[Mugiwara-no-Basuke]

And all my things are packed up (it's pretty heavy!!! :P)

[Hakoshi]

@Uchiha_Luffy yeah.. well bugs get annoying.. crawling where they aren't invited I mean lol
and that is one huge bag...

it has all the important stuff in it.. yet, so huge.. orz

[Cherry Boom]

I hope you have a great time! camping is always fun, to get away from all the city and stuff. Sure there are a lot of bugs but that's the beauty of camping lool.

Not many bugs in here, only mosquitos are a problem :P

Yes, that bag is pretty huge and heavy (!), imagine to walk about 25km non-resting with that on my back, that's scouting! and crazyness as well xD

[Hakoshi]

@Uchiha_Luffy lol well the long walk will be worth it then xDD

[Mugiwara-no-Basuke]

@Uchiha_Luffy lol well the long walk will be worth it then xDD

It will, physical effort mostly pays off in the end (or not xD), looking back and see how much it was hard to do

[R0AM]

I hope you have fun, I was in the Sea Scouts, if we were not sailing we were camping lots of fun.

[Jacob's Ladder]

Careful out there Luffy..make sure if you're wearing jeans..to string tie the pant leg openings closed....don't want to have anything crawl or slither up your pants. And have fun...take a sketch pad and draw some nature.

I rember in my senyear year in highschool sneaking out of the boys cabin and mesed with the girls in there cabin. Geting out of the cabin was the easey part but the hard part was geting back inside. I was stuck in the window untill a classmate helped me

I never did the scouts thing but always hiked/backpacked/paddled etc. Just made a comment on another thread about backpacking and then saw yours... Hope it goes/went well. It is truly one of my most favorite things to do, just wish I could go more often. BTW my profile pic is day 2 of a 5 day hike I did.

Indeed, camping is really awesome despite the dirt and getting very tired (I had lucky with the mosquitos and they didn't even appeared to bite us at night :P), feeling the nature, being together with other scouts, making out lots of things with only wood and rope is really a very nice experience, hope you can do it more often from now on, as you seem to like it as much as I do

In your profile pic you seem to be in a really nice palce Where was it taken, may I ask?

[Mystelinth]

Never went longer than 1 day camping... and in my opinion. It was long enough for me -_-
Still, its cool that you and other people can enjoy it that much ^__^.

Ah ah, maybe you just didn't give it enough oportunity :P
Yes, it's pretty cool indeed, it shows how respectful you are
For me as well I found it cool and nice that people enjoy some stuff (as soon as they aren't bad stuff) even if I don't like them at all

[Mystelinth]

shows how respectful you are

[Mugiwara-no-Basuke]

So here I post some of the pics I took on my camping, hope you enjoy them!!

Entry for the camp (it says escoteiros - an non-chatolic institution very close to scouts - while I belong to escuteiros)

 

Funny board near the gate

 

My group's big an new indian-like tent before being set up

 

Our tent finally set up! (what a beauty, isn't it?? )

 

Our table for meals (didn't came out that bad :P)

 

A construction we made for doing elevations :P

 

Our swing and next to it the shelters from other of our groups

 

A structure we were asked to built for the camp to store some wood (hope it will be resistent enough :P)

 

Some of the bread we made on that firewood hoven we were borrowed (we made a lot and it was really tasty!)

 

View from the beach we were into, close to our camp (got red flag twice and water was really cold but as I love it so much I manage to get into somehow :P)

 

[モノクロ猫]

It was indeed Surely you had like it :P

So, how do you like the pics? I made my best on them with my selphone camera xD

[threewolves]

Great pics, nicely done on the log holder and table. That tent you use is really nice. I have stayed in one like it and loved it.
