Yep you can do that but you can also damage a device that way if you
are not careful.

I doubt it - worst case you'll have too low a voltage at the head end.
You /could/ damage your CAT5 mind you, if you had too much current.

I was trying to come up with something a little more
idiot proof. An example, recently I showed my friend how I added an
external battery pack to my camera.

I make a point of never showing actual friends how clever I am with stuff like that, unless I already know they're technically savvy.

A few days later he is complaining
to me that he destroyed his camera like it is my fault he wired the
thing up backwards.

Hmm. Consumer electronics goods are pretty immune to people putting the batteries in backwards.
