This weekend, I learned about a new skill: camping. You see, I worked as a camp counselor these past two years, so I thought I'd be able to easily plan my own camping trip.
Wrong!
Sure, I packed all the important things like a tent, sleeping bag, and food. I even remembered to bring a lighter! But, apparently, there's a lot of little things that you need, too. Here's a list of everything that I forgot:
- Can opener
- Plates
- Silverware
- Sandals
- Tarp
It's really difficult to eat a can of beans if you don't have a can opener, spoon, or plate!
Also important: tent size. I was worried that the small tent I had wouldn't fit two people, so I set it up the day before to check. It seemed pretty roomy in there, with enough room for another person. Here's where I went wrong: I didn't take into account that I am a lot smaller than that person.
Other than those few mishaps, the camping trip was a ton of fun! We got to walk on the beach and climb some big rocks (and I found out that I get really nervous about heights when I'm on a tall rock!). Sometimes you just have to get away from the indoor-crafty-life and visit some nature.
