Tree-rocks

Wake up and get out of that tent! Someone left Camping Knowledge all over the place, and it’s not going to clean itself up.

Did you know …

That pinecones are nature’s tree-rocks? It’s true!

Why nature thought trees needed rocks, I’ll never know. And why nature produced such an inferior replica of a rock is likewise beyond me. Still, pinecones can serve many of the same purposes as rocks, including stacking, sorting, throwing, squeezing, burying, crushing, and hiding.

Pinecones are somewhat more flammable than true rocks, however, so keep that in mind when choosing your rock or tree-rock for a particular purpose. (e.g., a pinecone will work reasonably well for knocking a you squirrel off of a tree branch, but stick with the original if you need something to heat up in a campfire.)
