Trail Pranks

[hobby]

This has been done on several trips with a 'newbie'. A bag of Raisonettes poured behind a log or bush. Then I talk about how the deer will travel for miles in search of food and you can tell where they have been by what there scat tastes like. Then I 'find' a pile of droppings behind the log or bush. Then I pick it up and taste it."Oh, this deer has been eating blueberries!" Always brings cries of 'gross' and 'I can't believe you ate that!'
Fell free to use it! It never fails...

Take two glow-in-the-dark green disks about the size of a quarter and attach them to a tree about 4ft off the ground outside of a shelter.

Sitting here in Franklin with a ton of hiker trash and told a few of the newbs about hiding the six pack in the buddies heavy pack. Sometime later after the climb out of Winding Stair tell 'em "man I could go for a beer right now", and when they say, "so could I", say "good, get a couple out of your pack for us". Usually the nasty look lasts until you pop the beer.

...did that climbing out of Palmerton.

...hid false teeth in a few different packs.....LOL, found them in a hiker box!

hid a bottle of tequilla in the Smokies and then gave out maps to my friends....third one thru the area found it.
