Campsite Etiquette

• No gawking or body commentary
  (unless of a health and safety nature; eg: "I say, is that a sucking chest wound you've got there? Wait -- I'll fetch the baggie and the duct tape.)
• No squatting
• Leave TP under the lid.
• Full rotation of tent and canoes.
• Use polite language.
  Eg: "I'm sorry for burping in your face."
• Divide all chocolate equally
• Each according to her ability
• No gorp/liquid backwash
• Report back synthesis of small boat discussion
• Frequent analysis of group dynamics
• Share positive affirmations about group
• Very little is too personal to talk about
• Consensus at portage
• Stay together
• Do not follow cairns exclusively.
• Consult map frequently.

Most hated camping behaviour:

Karin: Passive aggressive. Unsolicited advice on anything

Cathy: Unsolicited advice on anything

Lynne: The Royal Perogative. People who think they don't have to do anything

Chris: Cowboys and macho men.

Question: do we hate this behaviour because we see ourselves exhibiting it?

Answer: Fuck you man, I don't have any of these touchy feely problems. But if you want to do a better job of figuring this out you should see a shrink. God I wish I had someone to set up my tent. Oh, no, it's fine. I'll be all right without one. I'll sleep on these pine needles.
