Peggy 1 year ago That is odd…none of the questions on the camping quiz I took had anything to do with lightening! Hmmm Rich D 1 year ago 8/10 Banana s’mores actually sounds pretty good. Seriously? 1 year ago What should you do if you encounter lightning while camping in an open area?Incorrect: You chose “Lie flat on the ground”The correct answer is “Move away from high grounds and seek shelter in a building” Seriously? There’s a building in “an open area”? The question is phrased extremely well – NOT! Joseph Crary 1 year ago Regarding lightning, why would you camp next to a building?? . um, never mind (LA, San Fran, etc.) !! Marti 1 year ago 8/10 My idea of camping is anything that has a 3 star or less rating. It’s the beginning of the weekend, YAY! Stay safe out there and make a stranger smile while you are being blessed. koz 1 year ago OK, so tomorrow morning at daybreak, we’ll all meet at the banana! See you then! Julia 1 year ago I did not see any question about lightening. I got 9/10. Joe from Las Vegas Nevada 1 year ago First Ever 10/10!!! A trumpet should have sounded. I did not get a question about lightening. I agree with the comment about camping at a Hotel with room service, a pool, maid service and hot running water. FDC 1 year ago I also take exception to camping in an open area wording. An open area to me is wide open spaces, not your back yard where there is a building nearby!!!! How many people go camping with a building nearby? 9/10…really, should have been 10/10! Peggy 1 year ago 10/10 I didn’t get q question about lightening either. Del Robinson 1 year ago no lightening in my quiz… 10 4 10 Big LT 1 year ago The answer for boiling water is wrong. The real answer is to bring to a boil because bacteria is killed at 165 degrees and the minimum to boil is 200 degrees. No need to boil for 10 minutes. Broccoli Free Zone 1 year ago 9/10 Some were tricky. Chi Chi Rodriguez was once asked, “What should you do if a lightening storm pops up while you are on the golf course?” His response was, “Get your 2-iron and hold it above your head pointing up.” He was them asked, “Why is that?” his punch line was, “Not even God can hit a 2-iron.” becky 1 year ago todays camping quiz has a bug – bananas is not the correct answer for #9. it is the answer for #10 – #10 isn’t functioning Judy Jamison 1 year ago Got all ten right–between having been in girl scouting (50+ years ago) and having kids who liked to camp I must have picked up some knowledge. However, I also now prefer a real bed and indoor plumbing. Rick 1 year ago 9/10 Glad to read that I not the only one who believes camping is staying at a upscale resort. Rich 1 year ago 10/10 One of the easier quizzes. Camping and hiking experience help. Phil 5 months ago Finally got a 10 for 10!….I can retire now. Les 10 months ago 10/10 I would’ve been very disappointed if I didn’t score 10 out of 10. Mike 11 months ago Highlighted box changed before I could touch submit answer several times! Matthew Baca 11 months ago Better than the last few, done more camping since I got divorced. ???? Alex Brewbaker 11 months ago Not bad. Karin 11 months ago 13 out of 10 Pretty good for an old broad! KathyG 1 year ago Could be my first 10 out of 10 ever. Glad I was a GS before they went woke! Nicole 1 year ago 14/10 woohoo! skippy 1 year ago 10/10. Pat Jandacek 1 year ago Just for the record and because I didn’t get 10/10, I’m enlightening folks that “lightening” is the spelling for perhaps bleaching and/or lessening a heavyweight, but for the electrical storm it is “lightning”. Danm 1 year ago Way to easy 100% correct. First time for me and I don’t camp.. Sam 1 year ago 10/10. But nowadays my idea of camping is Hampton Inn. The kids have grown (and are now the campers) and I am even grouchier than I was. Lila 1 year ago 9 out of 10, with a couple of good guesses. Lol. Glenn 1 year ago 10/10 a first for me Ellen 1 year ago 10/10, too easy Thomas D Booth 1 year ago When I was in the military they always told us to not get under a pine tree but they never did tell us what kind of tree to get under. SAW 1 year ago 10/10, its been a long time coming! Gail Berry 1 year ago 10/10 I must admit that 2 of the answers I selected were educated guesses. T. Anderson 1 year ago 10/10 Nice to get an easy one. Melinda 1 year ago Got all correct, it was too easy, and I hate camping. I live in a rural area, so what’s the point? And it’s a lot of work. Kreu 1 year ago 10 for 10, never camped a day in my life, but am a lover of great western movies! Thanks, John Wayne (although I’m sure “the Duke” never glamped!) KathyM 1 year ago 8/10. Mostly guesses. I knew four. I didn’t get any questions about electricity either, so maybe quiz was amended?? Freda. 1 year ago 9/10..I missed the trailhead. Still happy with my score.Hope you guys are ready for a big weekend..My birthday is Sunday so I’ll be partying all weekend..lol.J/K..Have a blessed day today. Dianne 1 year ago 10/10 I used to camp a lot but now hotels are for me! Jim Shedd 1 year ago 9/10 because I didn’t realize cotton will absorb water and make the temperature feel colder. I chose down but shoulda realized it’s what protects fowl from water and cold. Mary 1 year ago 10 out of 10. Woohoo. John Bass 1 year ago 10/10 It’s been a while since I’ve been camping, or achieved 10 out of 10. Lana 1 year ago 8/10. Better than I thought!
