Don't worry, mating rituals and predation are largely confined to the Naughty Corner.

There's another way, as we do it in our running club. Members are already subdivided into groups, but even within a group there are faster and slower runners. Once in a while the fastest runners double back, taking everyone they encounter with them, until they are at the back of the group. Then the group stays together for a few minutes, and after that everybody runs at their own pace again. This way:
- nobody has to force themselves to run at an uncomfortable pace for a long time;
- the fast runners will not get more rest than the slow ones.
The slower ones don't get demoralized, it is understood that everyone is just running at their own pace.

It's good for these ettiquette rules to be rolled out now & again. There are many new faces to this pastime of ours and simply by airing the suggestions they can pick up on some do's and don'ts before inadvertantly treading on toes or making a fool of themselves. Plus it's also a gentle reminder to us older hands which does us no harm either.
There should be one about using chainsaws through the night
I kept hearing one all night at comrie last month
Craig............
Never heard a thing...
hmmmm....think the chainsaw sound was Craig snoring!!!!
He's just trying to cover his tracks
(Unless it was someone coming up with a new way of dealing with those dastardly seagulls
)
Good thread though!!

Point num-15 the second part of, is the one point i fail on, whilst i wash my hands at the necessary(food prep,toilet,etc)times,keep the old teeth clean,i can honestly say ive never come back from any decent amount of time in the woods or at the beach, in as clean a state as when id been heading out, if i dont smell a bit smokey,and have odd bit of dirt on my clothes i aint really been having a good time.
The beauty of camping with people you know well is you can talk very openly, so if some you know well has music on they won't take offence when you tell them to "shut that ******* thing off" If your in a group of comparative strangers some may take offence when you smash their offending Mandolin or whatever over their heads.
I can't camp without access to Radio 4 but I do take headphones.

Snoring & farting at a meet I thought was mandatory ....... especially at night when you can get about six of us in harmony.

In the outback it is customary practice to return the fish caught from the river back to the river after they have been eaten. This is aboriginal ettiquette and returns part of the removed nutrients to the eco system.
Rule 9 makes sense in if you prioritise human use of the river over the habitat .

In a similar vein ....
If you intend getting that wasted then keep it around your own fire (or Naughty Corner) and try and avoid taking it to the fires of those who, even if they enjoy a drink or two themselves, find argumentative/ranting drunks far from good company. Try and stay sober enough to pick up on polite hints that your level of drinking/drunken-ness is turning a welcome guest into a less than welcome embaressment.
