So do you bring any instruments while /out/? I bring a bamboo didgeridoo coated in a two-part epoxy resin. Its lightweight, strong as fuck, makes a good walking stick, can be used to bash a stranger's head in, and it's fun to play around the campfire.

Also, I like to play random high pitched screams or low rumblings as I hike through deep forest in order to make my presence known and ward off animals. Is this a good idea? I've been doing this for a while now, but I'm about to move to California and it'd suck if I played my didge while hiking and it drew a brown bear towards me or something.
