I go backpacking to go fishing. Not so much searching to be entertained as it is why I go to the woods. I can go fishing without backpacking but I can't go backpacking without going fishing.
That and a little uisce beatha.

I like to explore a bit, hang out...
There's a reason we call fire Cave Man Television... it's just relaxing. . .

My first camp out this year I set up camp and decided that my first campfire of the year was going to be made by friction. I carefully harvested dried wood from around the campsite, made a fire board and bow, got some stuff together for the amber and went to work. Yeah right. After an hour of that I started my first campfire of 2o13 with another fire.
I do a lot of playing with the dogs, fishing, hiking in the general area and plant, tree and mineral identification. Although I'm not real good at it I have been able to tell the difference between a maple tree and a granite rock.
At night, I like to watch the fire that I made with a fire and think about all the good times and friends I've had over the years.
When camping with friends, we talk, play some "Fact or Crap" or "Smart A**" trivia cards, or go hiking at night to find dismals (small glowing creatures found in Alabama). When our boys were younger we brought glow sticks that they would spin on a length of paracord.
We also enjoy making a desert of some sort after dinner.
I can't believe nobody has brought up "Fart Baseball".
I must be getting really old.
Trust nobody!

If I hike til I'm tired I will go to sleep early. With the kids they provide entertainment. Also bring a deck of cards and that keeps us busy.
Three different lakes, and yes all on Tenkara gear. Unfortunalty they are not natives. While Cutthroat are a native and wild fish in many parts of Idaho most lakes don't support a spawning population. So every 3-5 years fry are dropped off either by plane bombing runs or by hikers packing in loads to restock each lakes populations.

Straight from a BSA Troop webpage:
There are a few other uh rules when played amongst hikers on a long trail.Fart Baseball - Official Rules
Fart Once - Get on base. Fart Twice - Get on second. Fart a Third Time - Get on third. Fart a Fourth Time - Go home and get a run.
Outs - If someone farts before you get home, you’re Out and that other person assumes their base position. Only one person on base at a time. (More points are scored with controlled release)
In-Park Home Run - If a fart clears the room, or all windows are opened in an automobile, the player receives a in-park home run.
Pop Fly - If a player attempts a hit, but only is able to produce a red face, they suffer an Out and must leave base.
Soiling - If you soil yourself while playing, it’s an automatic Grand Slam. Quick way to achieve four runs.
Winner determined at end of day or other pre-determined period.
