Not me man I always heard harmonicas referred to as the "Hobo siren song". They come to the sound of them expecting to find a hobo camp, and when they find a normie they come unglued.

You've never been afraid /out/ until you've had 200 lbs of filthy stinking unshaven naked hobo come crashing through your tent door in the middle of the night and slam into you, tearing at your clothes and licking all over you.

I carry a jaw harp. Mostly because it annoys the shit out of my girlfriend so out and in my car are the two places I can play it. Also I bring the banjo or guitar when camping with my buddies as long as it's a short hike.

Leave your noisemaker at home. We don't go out to listen to tineared Dylan wannabes trying to find their chops.

idk wtf kinda harp that is, but you should start on one that is in the key of C, perferably a marine band or a special 20, but any decent harp you paid atleast 30 or 40 bucks will work. check out youtube lessons, gussow is good. maybe buy a begginers song book. playing basic harp is easy but learning blues techniques and applying them while playing is a bit more difficult, but not as complicated as many other instruments. def cool for camping

What this guy said. The harmonica is relatively easy to learn, but that's relative to chordophones, brasses, and woodwinds. It's not a kazoo, it's going to take you a bit.

If you just want to learn some folk standards to play around the campfire, you'll pick it up fairly quickly. Give yourself some time to get tonguing and lipping down, and with a little practice you'll learn to play "Home on the Range", "On Top of Old Smokey", and "Molly Malone" pretty fast.

If you want to learn how to play kickass blues sax, on the other hand, that's gonna take a while. You have to commit to that, as seriously as you would any other instrument.
