Camping Pranks

A carefully planned camping prank can turn a mediocre camp experience into a once-in-a-lifetime memory for everyone involved.

To maximize your camping prank potential make sure to carefully plan your pranks and obtain all of the ingredients you will need before leaving. It is also advantageous to recruit at least one camp-based advocate or helper that can assist in the effort.

Caution: We do not recommend actually trying these pranks because they could result in serious injury, death or being eaten alive. Yes idiot, that means you!

Food
Nothing tastes as good as a great meal when you are outdoors. Make sure to save some delicious morsels of each meal to carefully place underneath your victim’s tent. When nighttime arrives it will attract many interesting furry, scaly and crawling visitors.

Beasts
All sorts of beasts can assist in a pranking. Large birds love bread crumbs, raccoons love anything salty or sweet, ants love syrup or honey… The possibilities to frighten and/or agitate your victim are literally endless. Be careful of bears and/or lions though!

Other Campers
Every prankster that really takes his craft seriously should seek to inspire the wrath of your victim’s camp neighbors. Everything from rumor and innuendo to printed flyers, newsletters and alerts can be used to great effect. Loud noises made spontaneously throughout the night are a great addition if you can manage to do it.

Tents/Trailers
Trailers are a prankster’s dream. They are usually built with only one exit so three or four rolls of heavy duty duct tape wrapped completely around the trailer should effectively entrap your intended victims. Note: you have to be patient and go slow. Otherwise the noise from the duct tape will alert your victim.

Unattended Vehicles

A veteran prankster knows the value of an unattended vehicle. While your victim is blissfully camping, you could be incubating any number of new, undiscovered life forms in their car, truck or boat. With a little luck you might even win the Nobel Prize!
