Worst advice about backpacking you've received?

[htpcl]

Mine:

"When you meet a bear, cover yourself in shit so that the bear won't sense your presence".
"But where do I get so much shit from?"
"Oh, be sure there WILL be shit!"

Waiting for the bear to play around with you while playing dead?

Good luck with that!

The Boy Scouts had me convinced alcohol and camping don't mix. Worst advice ever.
