Question of the Day, March 27, 2010


You're going on a camping trip, and your outdoorsy friends have forbidden you from bringing along any gadgets. What do you smuggle along with you?

first i would find some new friends, you know some friends who knew me and had things in commen with me, but yeah i would take a laptop.

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

None of those. Not that I'd go on a trip with my friends. Wouldn't trust them... me and them in the woods... nope, no thanks. Although I could go without tech... take some books... and lights don't really count a gadgets...

 

[Cherry Cola]

I would only really need to bring one thing.

My house.

Then I would be completely fine.

 

[Trivun]

Laptop. I honestly don't know how I could live without my computer...

 

[Hazy]

Laptop, usually.

Failing that, the ol' cellphone and PSP.

 

[Georgie_Leech]

You know, bringing along the gadgets kind of defeats the purpose of camping and getting away for from society and its associated networks. Books, fine; sketching stuff, fine; cooking stuff, fine; connections to electronic media, bad.

I presume u would hav no net on a campin trip so laptop would be pretty pointless...

 

[Xorghul]

My cellphone. Mainly, because I will die without my music, and secondly, if something happens it's a good to be able to call for help.

 

[AboveUp]

I'd be fine without any tech for a while.

I'm surprised so many people voted cell phones on this poll. I can't stand the things myself. I usually just leave mine at home like a regular phone because I don't feel like being disturbed by people who have nothing better to do than call about absolutely nothing at all.
Actually, scratch that, I'm not surprised. Most people I know would probably be at the camping site checking their damn text messages every 5 seconds. I'd probably be the one dragging them there forbidding them from bringing their cell phones.

I have the power of the internet in my hand with my cell phone.

 

[Hybrid Sight]

I'd take my cell phone, in case I passed out due to low blood sugar. That way they could call the hospital and they could give them step-by-step instructions on how to give me an injection.

Where is the iPod / mp3 player option?

I literally never leave my house without it.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Usually my iPod and the awesome Logitech docking station I have. Rarely much more than that, because pretty much the only camping I've done in the last few years are festivals.

 

[Keepitclean]

Mp3 player if any. I'm cool about going with things like those listed.

 

[Abedeus]

MP3, DS, cellphone.

MP3 because people bore me, DS because music might bore me, cellphone because I'm not an idiot and if there's an accident, I want to be able to get help.

 

[LeonLethality]

I never travel/camp without my PSP

 

[Interference]

I'd take the laptop, only the batteries don't last long enough to make it worthwhile. So the DS it is, heheh.

 

[Casual Shinji]

I don't have a cellphone, I don't have a laptop and I don't have a handheld.

So I wouldn't bring along any tech if I ever went on a camping trip because of simple elimination.
