| 1 | * FranchiseOriginalSin: This is one of the first episodes when it's pretty blatant that the writers have a very strong DoubleStandard separating the Simpson women and the men, but it's pretty easy to let slide because the juxtaposition between Lisa and Marge roughing it up swimmingly (and Maggie finding bears that take her in and can do stuff like test if bottled milk is warm or hot before giving it to her) and Homer and Bart's absurdly EpicFail ''is'' incredibly hilarious. [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS9E17LisaTheSimpson "Lisa the Simpson"]], meanwhile, states that being doomed to be a loser is literally encoded in the male Simpson gene (though this was later retconned in [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS12E9HOMR "HOMR"]] where it's said that Homer's stupidity is due to a crayon lodged in his brain). |
| 2 | * HilariousInHindsight: The RV rental worker's comment about Homer never being able to get a better RV is this with the existence of [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS16E13MobileHomer "Mobile Homer"]], in which Homer uses Marge's savings to buy a mobile home. |
| 3 | * {{Woolseyism}}: The episode's European French title is "L'Abominable Homme des bois", or "The Abominable Man of the woods". As you can see, "homme" ("man") is just a few letters off from "Homer". |
