The worst things to bring on a camping trip or a hike

[Caribou369]

When I go backpacking with friends I always bring safety equipment which I have never used thankfully! A friend on his first trip brought a 3 man tent, his shoulder strap broke half way on a 25 mile hike so we all ended up carrying his stuff since our shoelace fix wouldn't hold 80 pounds...

Sailor's repair kit! Heavy-duty waxed thread, curved needle, thimble. Saved my a** on more than one hike when something broke, whether a pack strap, bootlace, or tent seam.

I'm forever bringing more maps than I need. We've got our kit pretty compact at this point, though.

EXACTLY! Same thing, but mine added (I kid you not!) a whole drawers worth of makeup!?!? Enough to cover everyone at a miss America pageant. Told her every bug in 50 miles will come to her perfume & the kicker! Told her skunks will sneak up in the night to lick off makeup. The look on her face was worth millions!!!!

that one always works.
