Bobby recounts real dangers from a previous camping trip with Ari Shaffir and Joe List — timber rattlesnakes in the Catskills and a terrifying coyote pack at 1:30am — while planning the season and safety measures for Comedy Camp.
- Tim explains the spring timing for the woods trip, accounting for mud season, bug season, and black flies.
- Planning tasks for the competition, including the possibility of sucking someone off as an option.
- Tim is funding the entire trip and donating money to charity, with each participant choosing which charity receives their winnings.
- Jim Norton starting a fire is going to be hilarious because he won't be able to do it after learning how.
- When Tim went out with Ari Shaffir and Joe Rogan, they didn't know how to hang a bear bag properly.
- Camping protocol requires taking a shit 150 feet away from camp or water and digging a hole.
- Shitting outside in the woods is one of the greatest shits you'll ever take once you get over the fact that you're doing it.
- Bear bags are necessary to hang all food in trees to avoid attracting bears into camp.
- Bears look adorable and cute but they'll murder you if encountered in the woods.
- Tim will be the guide for the trip, which he acknowledges is a little scary and terrifying.
- Dangerous wildlife in the woods includes timber rattlesnakes, mountain lions, and fisher cats.
- Timber rattlesnakes in the Catskills number in the thousands, and the second person in a hiking line is often the one who gets bitten.
- A pack of coyotes came into camp at 1:30 in the morning and everyone just sat in their tents frightened.
- Joe Rogan's response when coyotes attacked was asking 'what do we do about that,' and Tim said 'I don't know.'
- Tim predicts someone will die on the trip but that's okay.
