Memorial Weekend... This is when kids go wild. What type of lake are you going to? Aree you camping at an estblished campground or are you "roughing it"?
Let's try to bring you and your pals back in one piece with hopefully a smile and a story.
Clothes: Avoid cotton! Cotton absorbs water easier and will stay wet longet hence, if you get wet you'll cool down a lot faster and stay miserable. Only 100% synthetics and/or wool.
There's a lake, there's a beach there's water fun! Bring Shorts and a Shirt instead of swimming gear. Shorts are far more sturdy when it comes to sitting on rocks and less likely for you to have a "wardrobe malfunction."
So each day you are going to the lake you'll prolly get wet - you need new swimgear each day UNLESS you are able to properly wash/dry your stuff. Oh! Buy some WADERS from say Walmart or something... These are slip on water shoes that have a good sole to them so you won't get your toes hooked on someone's lost fishing line or some dope's broken beer bottle.
For wandering around the forest wear pants - unless you WANT poisen ivy and/or shrub scratches all over your legs. Wear layered clothing just in case the weather changes - undershirt, short sleeve and a light jacket. Wear synthetic or wool socks. Carry and extra pair just in case you get them wet - sucks to walk back with wet feet. =P
Do not wear tennishoes - they have no ankle support. Get some good hiking shoes - Big 5 always seems to have a sale on these. Carry a pair of working gloves just in case.
Make sure your pants/shorts have plenty of pockets which either have zippers OR bottons. You need some where's to put the following survival gear. Make sure you waterproof the following using ziplock baggies:
one bag (for making fires):
Book of matches, a bic lighter, a magnifying glass (small is fine as long as it is thick) and some of the lint from your mother's dryer.
one bag (for finding your way): Small LED flashlight, a compass, about 10 10" lengths of pink/red/yellow ribbons and 1 very small pocket knife.
one bag (for owees): 10 bandages small & large, liquid skin (you can get that from any pharmacy), a few sample packages of tylenol/aspirin/sudafed, metal tweezers, burt's bees rescue cream (little tin the size of a quarter)
one bag (for boredom): Deck of playing cards, chewing gum, an inflatable ball, a tiny pocket digital camera (key chain cam cost about $10 to $40), and a tiny laser pointer.
one bag (potty time): Bundles of toilet paper seperately rolled so that you don't need to pull out the whole thing for what you need, small 1 oz bottle of purell or other type of waterless hand sanitizer.
one bag (who you are): Your ID, your special medication AND an emergency card stating what you are allergic to, what meds you are taking and who should they contact in case of an emergency. Add some money to this too.
If you squeeze the air out of each of these baggies and you have plenty of pockets, there will be no prob.
This is minimal survival gear and can get you out of MOST trouble you will find yourself in.
Remember, you bring for you! Do not depend upon what other's bring. They may forget. Then you are SOL.

What are some things you need for a roadtrip?
Jenny [[VI
Some friends and I are thinking about a road trip during Spring Break, maybe Northern California [I live in Southern California]...and we have some ideas but we're not too sure.
Anything about a road trip will help! Renting car, food, destination, renting a room, etc.
Thanks! =)
Answer
Tips:
Don't eat at chain restaurants. Local restaurants are much better 95% of the time and much more fun 100% of the time.
Go easy on the map quest. Getting lost is part of the fun and will contribute to the memories made and stories to tell.
Keep an open mind.
Cell phones are to fun as sponges are to spills. Each member of the trip should hold another person's phone to ensure adherence to the rule. Only take them out if you are to make prank calls.
Get a AAA card! These guys can set you up with free maps, roadside assistance, and even directions to your final destination!
While not knowing where you'll end up is part of the fun, be sure you at least have a general idea of how you'll get back home, or you could be in trouble.
Digital is the way to go when taking travel photos. Just make sure you have plenty of fully-charged batteries and adequate storage capacity. If memory cards get full they can be downloaded to CD's at the photo departments at big box stores and pharmacies anywhere. Or, if staying with family or friends, just use their computers to backup to disc.
Dumpster dive! many places throw away good food constantly! supermarkets throw away everything, cafes throw away pastries and bagels and whats better than a dough nut log?
If possible hire a caravan it will be easier to store food, sleep and maybe watch some movies
Warnings:
Don't drive so far that you can't afford to get back.
Wear your seatbelt, or you could get in trouble!
Don't rat out your friends for embarrassing things they did upon your return.
Try not to get arrested. (Kindof like the cell phone analogy.)
Being in such close proximity for so long with certain friends can lead to the friendship ending, which can be especially awkward when you still have to drive 1000 miles back home with the guy.
Music can cause some dissension amongst the ranks if the tastes are vastly different. Just try to be accomodating and, if all else fails (assuming the car is yours), play the "It's my car and it's my CD player" card.
Things You'll Need:
Camera, film, batteries
Comfortable clothes
Cooler
Foodstuffs
Music (seriously)
Sunglasses
Notebook - write down funny things down so you don't forget
Gallon of water
Gallon of oil (for your car)
50-100 feet of rope
Duct tape
First aid kit
Flashlight (one that cranks or shakes to provide power, preferably)
Bug spray
Jumper cables
Pocket knife
Compass
Umbrella
Blanket(s)
Maps (up to date and waterproof if possible)
Sunscreen
Toiletries
Slip on shoes for when you're only out of the car for a quick stop
Good luck.. theres more stuff on the site down thurrr!
