Don't worry, it's often a disaster the first time when you start something new. The main thing is that you've started and after a while it will become second nature.
So jealous.. Miss camping so much. We use to camp all the time as kids. Back when our parents could just drop us off and we'd camp all weekend, no phones, no worries. Now you barely feel safe walking to the cafe when the sun starts going down.
It'll get better as you learn. Definitely need the larger tent and maybe blow up mattresses instead of the cot. Just be careful of the dogs nails. Keep the smaller tent in case you go for longer trips to keep supplies in or use for guests who come with you.
best camping spot for me has always been Sundays River (pearson park resort) plenty of good camping spots and great fishing at the banks of the river and they have hot water to shower and its safe
It may have been a "disaster" but i wouldn't call it a failure for your first trip. You live and learn that's the fun part. Now next time you go on a trip you will have this experience to look back on and know what not to do and what to do. I have done all sorts of camping in my time, you always learn something new on your trips. Cant wait for the next adventure. 🏕🚙
As the absolute wierdo that i am, i really enjoyed seeing the traffic jam and road travel footage. There something interesting about seeing how traffic and road travel works and looks in other countries which both fascinates and horrifies me! 😁
I have this faint memory of Reach talking about how you never wanna sleep on the ground... Good think he totally didn't make someone else do that either... Riiight? 😆
