14 Hilarious Camping #Fails That Will Make You Laugh and Cry at The Same Time

So there I am - an eight-year-old - roasting marshmallows...

classic...

All of a sudden I look down to see that my marshmallow is hanging onto the stick by one tiny little gooey thread.

I watch, as if in slow motion, while the melty thread of deliciousness breaks and my mallow plummets to a certain fiery death.

"NO! MY MALLOW!!!"

What to do!?!

In my 8-year-old brain there was only one choice...

Without hesitation I plunge my hand into the fire to save my mallow...

I caught the mallow.

YES!!!

But wait - this mallow was already nice and roasty...

It was a trap!

I thought I had saved my mallow, but what I had really done is squished my hand into a ball of sticky lava!

"AAAHHHGGHH! A BALL OF STICKY DELICIOUS LAVA!!! WHAT DO I DO!!!"

I know - I'll lick it off.

"AHHHGGGH! FART NUGGETS! NOW MY HAND AND MY TONGUE ARE BOTH ON FIRE!"

At this point I gave up entirely on a solution and proceeded to sit there staring at my hand, screaming in an increasingly high pitch.

My Dad - who must have been very amused up to this point - decided it must be time to step in.

He grabbed me, carried me about 10 steps to the lake, and dunked my hand into the water.

I spent the rest of the night whining like a puppy on timeout and saying things like, "Dad, I can feel my heartbeat in my hand."

That said - I would take the lava hand experience over some of these any day.

Enjoy the worst of the worst #campingfails:

5. Should Have Brought Some Headlamps

We climbed to the top of a mountain to watch the sunset, then realized it was too dark to climb down and had to get rescued. #campingfail

6. This is Why Hammocks > Tents

7. This Could Be a Movie

Went camping - forgot tent. Slept outside - it rained. Got hungry - no food. Returned to car - forgot keys at camp. #campingfail
