Hey all, i'm gonna need your help again.... see i'm going on a biology field trip tommorrow and we're camping overnight. Now there are two teachers with us and one of them's spot on. The other one is an absolute mong. So basically i need ideas for pranks we can do that can be acheived with ten or less people and during one night with little preparation. So far we've only come up with cellophaning her tent shut.

Throw a 12 gauge shell into the fire, or set her tent aflame.

You need only purchase a rubber snake.

Thrown in the tent along with the scream, "SNAKE!" should do it.

Most tents you can just lift away with 3 or 4 people. Unless it has an attached inner in which case all you can do is collapse it.

Best prank was when we shifted a leaders tent to the other end of the field and watched them wake up under the sky. And best of all it was Scout Camp so they didn't even bother to get pissed about it.

Hmm, I can think of several but the whole "I don't want to get arrested" really stops most of them.

Um. Um. Um. Try to hide in the bush and when they wake up scare the bejebus out of them. ALl you need is a indian suit and nevermind. Um. Put out the fire while they are asleep?

There's the ever-popular "open the front flap and pee into the tent in the middle of the night" trick
Nekone
20-06-2005, 17:23
there's the classics...
1) Hand in warm water

2) shaving cream/paint on hand and tickle nose

3) Small pebbles at the bottom of their sleeping bag

4) take her on a snipe hunt... my personal favorite.

5) TP their Tent.

12ga shells are useless, man. The plastic casing melts before the powder ignites. No container, no pressure, no explosion. Now a can of Pork-n-Beans is another matter. KABLAM!!!! It's like a nuke! The sound is tremendous, beans fly all over the place. People get up and start running around screaming, feeling the beans dripping off of their faces thinking it is blood and eyeballs. Oh, man... it's great! Have a camcorder ready.

If you are really good, toothpaste on a persons eyebrows is inconvenient.

Having someone sing 'wake up it's a beautiful morning' very loudly at 4 AM is also quite good. Forewarn your friends well though.

A little unsubtle really (OK so was the singing but...). The best tricks are ones they take time to figure out. The realisation you should not be seeing the sky when you wake up can take a few seconds which is half the fun :cool:

If you have any disreputable looking friends in the area have them come and camp nearby (as in a few yards) and then claim they are looking at you wierd and you're getting worried. We had that for real and we woke a leader in the middle of the night to deal with it. Hilarious afterwards.

put a load of crickets or mosquitoes in their tents at night, you can buy them from pet shops.

Too bad you're not in the army.

Wait until they are snoring hard, then put the muzzle of an M249 inside the tent flap, and cut loose with a 200-rd burst (using blanks).

Get a megaphone, and someone with an official sounding voice, and give everyone the 4 minute warning or something. Teachers should remember 'Protect and survive', and I'd like to see them try and hide under the stairs :D

Airhorns are always good, or you could get some scary masks and hoodies, and have half of you chase the other half around with knives and screaming.

If you are travelling from Newcastle, may I recommend Magic Box for masks/airhorns etc.

Errrm. Pranks on a shoestring... Gaffer tape is traditional.

Edit: Remember, we want pictures :p

Freaky thing, waking up and seeing your tent partner covered in mosquito bites while you have only three...

What my Scout troop did once was convince this guy who had been a complete twat all camp, to test the ariel runway we had just built. So we tied him up as if ready to let him go but instead we just left him there hanging. Then a few minuites later we completely soaked him with water and left him over night. ;) lol.

I've always liked the effect of layering bologna slices over the sleeping camper, then slipping a stray dog into the tent, zipping, and collapsing the poles.

We've balanced a metal trash can lid on someone's chest, then lit the large firecracker buried in a mound of confetti in the middle of the lid. Dangerous, because you could put someone's eye out.

Sound sleeper asleep on a folding chaise lounger? Carefully rig it as an emergency stretcher (well balanced rope rig required) then hoist him into the handy 150' oak tree.

Taking someone's ground cover / rain sheet and staking the edges to turn it into a rain collector. Remove the rain fly before the nightly shower to turn their cozy tent into a cozy bathtub.

Tossing in a drunk naked person is always fun. Helps if your target is also drunk.

Padlocking the zippers, replacing the tent stakes with pink flamingos, running up the confederate flag on your strongly anti-racist target's ridgepole ... a bit of imagination makes it all easy.

If you're in a tent, sabotage it in one million different ways.

One method is to slip some speakers under the canvas or into the tent and play "Ride of the Valkries". Scary.

If you're in a cabin, try this old trick:

First take a bottle of ice cold water with a cork in.

Slip it in the victims' bed, between the legs.

The victim will pull it out in annoyance.

The next night, put the bottle back in, but with the cork tied to the bedpost.

The victim will pull the bottle, and thus pull out the cork.

Water, water everywhere.

In either setting (tent or cabin), another trick can be summed up in one word: Alcohol...

Enjoy.

Take a metal pipe.

Slide it in, till it make contact with the anus.

At that point, say "don't do anything you aint told to".

Lead the victim outside, with your 3 oversized companions holding fake firearms. Which the victim will think is real in the cold of night.

Take them to a tree.

Point the pipe at their neck.

Run away, quickly and quietly.

When the person is all chill an relaxed by the campfire, toss in a disposable (plastic) lighter. Watch their eyes bug out as a miniature mushroom cloud and loud bang eminate from the fire.

This trick works wonders @ shared campgrounds, where you're neighbours are making an ungodly racket with their Christian sing-alongs.

Well, back when I was in cub-scouts - all of the pack leaders (in most cases our fathers) would send us off to bed and then commence on over to the mess hall where they would proceed to consume massive quantities of alcohol. On one memorable outing, about twenty of us broke into the mess hall and stole every last flat of beer... they sent us to bed, we recovered the merchandise and stole off towards our little hideaway. We got drunker than hell wouldn't have us, the adults were pissed (but not in the drunk way they wanted to be) but we couldn't catch much hell because the following day was the day we all packed up to go home... can you imagine the father's trying to explain how little kids managed to get their hands on mass quantities of beer that was never supposed to have been there in the first place?

I think the sickness that ran through the youger portion of we cub-scouts was later blamed on food poisoning to wary mothers. What a great trip indeed! Of course, now Im old enough not to care about stealing booze... but depending on your age that might be a great prank to pull off.

So yeah, another good prank, steal the booze and get pissed. Always good for a laugh or ten.

If you have access to a reel of sturdy wire (like Army commo wire), when they're asleep, string it at ankle height all around the trees around the tent, and crossing the trails in several directions.

Then yell, "THERE'S A BEAR! RUN!" with a lot of random screaming.

Hopefully, the person exits the tent at high speed, and proceeds to go flat on their face every few frantic steps.

step 1: get a friend to lie on their back topless on a tree stump.

step 2: have someone in a hoodie and mask hold a knife over them

step 3: get them to pour ketchup over the person, the person lies still

step 4: have others in hoodies and masks chanting/ hummig loudly

candle light also helps, but is not essential.
