RSS FeedCamping dry run
In a couple weeks, Me, Chris, Jake and Diane are heading to Clayton, Idaho (population 27) to see a concert. Insane? Yeah, maybe. So what, it’ll be an adventure.
For room and board we’ve secured a spot at a camp site. We’ve purchased a new tent and sleeping bags, we are all but ready to go!
OK, not so fast. Let’s back up a little bit. When I said we purchased a “new” tent, that may have made it sound like there was on “old” tent that we are replacing. Not the case. Chris and I have been together for roughly 20 years. In that time we have been camping exactly ZERO times. This is not her fault at all. It’s entirely mine. She’s asked me to take her camping several times. My standard response usually has something to do with wondering where I plug in my laptop. So, what made me change my mind? I swear I have no idea. But, for some completely unknown reason, this actually sounds like an absolute blast!
Since this is going to be our first trip camping, and since this will be my first time setting up a tent in a quarter century, I thought it would be a good idea to set up the tent once before we get out to the middle of absolutely nowhere, possibly in the dark, so we’d at least have some sort of idea as to what the fuck we are doing. I’ll bet without reading any further you could already guess how things went down… Pause for a minute, make your guess and then read on…
Ready? OK, here we go… I pulled everything out of the box, started assembling everything, got one pole inserted in the tent and was having trouble getting the other inserted. Chris suggest laying down the first pole until we get both poles through the slots. We do this and everything works wonderfully. Then, Chris finds the instructions and we complete the installation of the tent in a matter of a couple minutes. Who knew they included instructions with these things… Idaho, here we come!
So, here ya go. A 6 person tent set up in our living room.
At least when we set up the tent in the living room, I know where to plug in the laptop.
