Here's to the hardy lumberjacks and jills,
Who find home base with their navigational skills.
Their camp fire tales usually end in laughter,
They know to dig the hole before, not after.
Cheers to the adventurous guys and gals,
Your hunting buddies, your fishing pals
Not afraid of spiders or West Nile mosquitoes,
And don't mind sleeping like human burritos.
And lastly, the reason why we hold you so dear
Is that we're counting on you to save our rear.
Awesome poetry!!! The knowledgeable and the well supplied will be very popular. Thank goodness for a stockpile of canned food. :)
ReplyDeleteYou've given me an idea for a post about camping.
What are those people called again? Doomsdayers? I can't remember. I've got a few family members that are excellent outdoors men/women too. So, good, we're covered. Rooth, that poem is the best! Or is it a rap? ;) Here, I'll provide the beat box.
ReplyDeleteThat's hilarious! I'm not much of a camper but we've had some fun family times camping in the past.
ReplyDeleteI'm not an outdoorsy person either but I've been liking plaid lately. ...Yeah, this whole hobby has been reduced to a style to me. >.<
ReplyDeletenice list, i like the sweatshirt with "Happy Camper"! cute!
ReplyDeleteIt’s a GIRL Thing
At least you'll look the part when the world comes to an end ;-) That little "poem" is too funny, love the last bit! Have a great week xo
ReplyDeleteHaha, my outdoorsy skills are non-existent too. But I also know some outdoor survival experts, so you know, come the apocalypse, we'll be fine ;)
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha I love that poem. It's so clever!
ReplyDeleteWoops haven't been getting prepared for the apocalypse! The amount of apocalypses predicted is getting hard to keep up with! I confess I'm not much of a camper either, it's a little overrated dare I say...I have camped and had fun though, but a cabin is easier! And more comfortable, I like a semi-camp :)
ReplyDeleteI love that sweatshirt! Boooo international shipping!
ReplyDeleteI keep on missing these apocalypse dates and the days when the rapture is meant to be and so on. I have such a poor memory for important end of the world dates in my calendar - I should probably work on that.
The poem is very catchy. It somehow makes me remember the memories of me as a child doing some *adventurous* time with friends in the backyard! Hahaha
ReplyDeletethat happy camper sweatshirt is so cute :)
ReplyDeleteHa! Here's me and Cal at the orthodontist yesterday:
ReplyDeleteHim: You know the world is going to end in like 11 days, right?
Me: The Mayan thing? That's absolutely ridiculous.
Him: Oh. I feel so much better now.
Ahahahaha! That poem is the best. Ever!
ReplyDeleteAlso, love the sweatshirt. I can totally see me wearing that whilst roasting marshmallows . . . over candles . . . in my living room.
That poem, Rooth....love!!!! And I'm outdoorsy too coz I like getting drunk on patios!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm starting to like camping more now that I'm older...and I would totally love to go camping with all those items you have here!
ReplyDeleteThankfully the Mayan apocolypse is the day AFTER my birthday this year, because I would feel totally gypped out of presents otherwise :)
ReplyDeletelove the mug!!
ReplyDeletethat is adorable. i actually have a little vintage suitcase ready for a one day apocalypse. i just realized how dumb that is - seriously i should put that in a backpack. i have done some camping in my life time. i once "lived" in alaska for a few month at a campsite. let me tell you getting in a car never felt so good. it was like this brilliant luxury. truthfully that was a few month where i drank a lot of beer.
ReplyDeleteLove the poem. The most outdoorsy thing I've done is hiking/camping in Tahoe for 3 days. We hiked roughly 11 miles to our first campsite and then another 8 the next day to an even more remote (and higher up) campsite. I got hit really hard with elevation sickness on that second day and literally almost fell off a mountain. Haven't been camping since (but I'd do it again as long as it's a little less extreme...) :)
ReplyDeleteHa! That's the kind of outdoorsy I am too (cocktails on the patio). But I do love that jacket.
ReplyDeleteDeliciously woodsy, Rooth!
ReplyDeletecould you be any cooler? i really don't think so.
ReplyDeletehaha i love the touches of plaid indeed! i really like camping and such but i don't think im ready for zombie apocalypse anytime soon...

This is seriously so cute! I love that quote - saw it in Urban Outfitters on a cup a while back and I bought it just to display ;)
ReplyDeleteIsn’t That Charming.
haha, that is an AMAZING quote!
ReplyDeleteYes!! I'm counting on those people to save my rear as well. I do NOT do the outdoors. No thank you. I would survive maybe 2 minutes.
ReplyDeleteHahaha we camped in cabins too as Girl Scouts, and all I remember is our entire troop screaming from seeing a spider :-) Love that sweatshirt!
ReplyDeletePretty awesome poem! I worked with someone once who used to like to predict who we worked with or came across would survive in a post-apocalyptic world and if 5he wouldn't, what their downfall would be. I could do it but I really wouldn't want to. At all.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading a book about it now and it does not sound fun. ^0^
Haha love that poem! I could share it with so many of my outdoorsy Oregonian friends. I would say I'm middle of the road - I like camping but I don't LOVE camping...
ReplyDeleteLove your poem!!!
ReplyDeleteAh, yes.. Feeling outdoorsy means being away from my internet life for a minute by either going out of home and returning in a minute.
Haha Mayan Predicted zombies!!?
I would stay up on a tree if that ever happens
