I'm on a river! Never thought I'd see the day...big blue watery way.

There are few things in the world that are more Dudely besides heading out into the wilderness for a weekend with nothing but your balls, beers, booze, and ambition to get completely annihilated with your friends. If you are brave enough to take on a country excursion then heed some words of wisdom from your friendly Dudes.  

Recently the Bohemian Dude and 10 of his Compadudes headed to the Shenandoah River Valley to camp, fish, play poker, cornhole, and bring the DDO to a whole new level. We set up camp right next to the river; most of the dudes brought tents but some were adventurous enough to bring tent cots and hammocks. The weather was perfect, 75 and clear skies. After setting up camp we started a fire, threw some dogs and burgers on the grill and cracked some brew dogs to start it off. Not only is it necessary to bring an obscene amount of beers and hard liquor, camping also is kin to its organic friends, so make sure you have plenty. 

After a few rounds of drinking corn hole; losers take 2 shots and winners take 1, each round the losers drink the difference of the score. We all decided it was time to get in the river, not only to relieve our bladders, but to float and relax in the cool current. Now the river provides not only cool, crisp refreshment, but also serves as a source of nourishment. If you run out of water stuck out in the woods, you can boil some river water and treat it with a water treatment program, again found at your local outdoor store. There’s also plenty of wildlife in the water, fish, crayfish, mollusks, etc. Make sure you bring a fishing rod and some bait, or it’ll be a long weekend of berries and the runs!  

Once the night falls, break out the flashlights and lanterns so that you can play cards and other drinking games until the fire is out and you’re seeing triple. After you’ve taken all your friends money in a drunken haze, it’s either time to shoot off some guns (potato guns in this case) and cause a bunch of ruckus until you all pass out. It’s pretty routine to fuck with the wildlife at night, just be careful you know how to handle the primal retaliation that may come with it!  

Dudemandude…hopefully this has inspired you to get in touch with your dude roots and get out in the wild blue yonder with your compadudes to get completely destroyed. You never know what nature may throw your way, but at least you know you can DUDE with the best of them! 

Dudemandude.net is aware that the site hasn’t been updated since 1987.  So you can stop Facebooking, Twittering and Woofing to us about the lack of new content on the site.  Did any of you guys come up with your own Duding site – with intricate instructions on How and Where to Dude?  No, you didn’t.  Rest assured that the creators of Dudemandude.net are currently duding their asses off in attempts to create new dude-worthy content for this site.

We’re on our way to New York – or should I say Dude-York.  Hopefully we can avoid the spit this time  More details to follow.

For our inaugural post, The Dudes at dudemandude.net thought it would be important to provide you with some information on dudely nicknames and how you should go about nicknaming your fellow dudes. Before I begin giving suggestions, I would like to lay three simple ground rules on undudely nicknames. Read the rest of this entry »
