Unfortunately, sitting at the front of the class does little to keep others from noticing your pitched tent.

Where’s Troop Leader Rick? I want to show him my new tent pitching technique.

Thanks to Thunderpussy for sending us this photo, taken during a Boy Scout camping trip – “the kid was poking his dad with a stick, and didn’t realize his dad was busy pitching a tent. So to speak.” What is it about camping that causes people to shun real tents and instead opt for pants tents?

Thanks to HardSkaPunk for sending us this photo of a friend in a cheap cabin in northern Colombia. They “took him off guard, he did see us but not the camera.” Just goes to show how risky it can be to pitch a tent. One moment you’re enjoying a nap and dreaming of hot Colombians, and before you know it on the front page of Awkward Boners.

An Awkward Boners reader sent us the following photo:

It looks like this guy went camping but forgot to bring a tent. Oh wait. There’s one in his shorts.
