Best Tent Bound Time Passing Games?
|
looking for some new creative ideas for passing the time while I'm stuck at camp waiting for good conditions for summit day, any suggestions? |
|
Rock Bocce! (mark your rock with chalk) |
|
If you have a thermarest, draw a checkerboard out on your sleeping pad with a sharpie and use sticks and rocks to play checkers or chess. |
|
Played UNO for hours one snowbound tent day. Sleep is good too. Eating, drinking and more sleep at high altitude was best thing we did. |
|
Pocket Pool |
|
Angry Birds on your portable electronic device of choice. I've also played UNO for hours on trips.
|
|
Blue dart!! |

Hide the Sausage |

Lots of booze, chain smoke, dig big snow forts, count the stiches in your tent, females make good climbing partners-strip poker, bamboo wand fights, I Pod games. |
|
Assuming you are talking about alpine climbing where you don't want to have any extra weight? Try word games like going back and forth with your partner trying to come up with the most movie titles that sound like taking a dump(Splash, Children of the Corn, etc). If you have hypoxia you can generally play the same game again the next day and have it be a new experience. |

The marker will weaken the walls of the inflatable thermarest (like deet does). Go to local hobby store and pick up a fabric pen. Hacky sack |

Are you sure? Cos I did this to my thermarest in like '94 and I still use it. |

I agree with anything that keeps you occupied, no matter how childish or silly it seems. Avoid rule-heavy games unless you have a rule book that clearrrly states the rules on hand at all times ;) |

scrabble board on the thermarest. might just want to stick with checkers above 23K or so, but scrabble and scotch in the cascades is the way to go. As for Mr. Lane's suggestions, depends on who i'm tenting with... But they are great ways to pass the time, or at least make sure I'll sleep... |
|
hangman... and if you get bored with it, turn it into "dirty hangman", this will add many more hours of entertainment. Eventually, the goal becomes if you can even shock each other anymore. Good times. |
