A state of mind reached after extended exposure to the cold and the wet, lack of sleep and food, constant inhalation of camp fire smoke and the dark.
The main symptom that identifies Uffmoor syndrome is finding slightly entertaining sounds, sights or other normally insignificant events hilarious to an extent which renders the sufferer incapable of simple tasks. Laughter is usually hysterical in nature and highly contagious, drawing in new victims. Usually spreading to all persons present. Laughter subsides after around 30 minutes (2 forest hours) and the sufferer will fully recover shortly after.
The most common situation for Uffmoor syndrome to develop is after multiple nights camping in wild conditions. In fact someone with thiese symptoms cannot be considered to be suffering from Uffmoor syndrome unless it was developed in a wooded area.
