The older I get, the more open I am to up-to-date experiences! When I was younger, I feel like I had a really strict opinions about what I would plus would not try to do! Unfortunately, several of these opinions were formed based on the accounts of others, and i did not necessarily make these choices on my own or have the past experiences under my belt to sufficiently judge what was or wasn’t worthwhile.
For instance, my mom constantly told me that she hated camping, however she painted horrific pictures of being trapped in the woods without heat or food as tumultuous rains pummeled her tent… Obviously, my wonderful friend and I never went camping when I was a kid, my mother refused to even entertain the idea for a second, and now, as an adult, I am wondering what I missed out on plus how I genuinely feel about the experience.
I entirely love nature plus hiking, so it makes sense that I would also love camping if given the opportunity, that being said, everyone has their limits. This past season a few friends of mine invited me out to go camping. I was harshly excited about the idea, until I looked at the weather for the week. The outdoor climate was expected to be 95° plus incredibly humid. There wasn’t supposed to be any sort of breeze or a opportunity for rain. This month, my wonderful friend and I weren’t going to get any natural relief from the heat plus humidity outdoors. When I brought up my air temperature problems to my friends, they simply laughed at me. Of course it was going to be hot plus humid, my wonderful friend and I were going to be outside plus that was part of the experience. Still, I told them I would not be able to sleep if it was so sticky plus irritated outside. Jokingly, they told me I could figure out an air conditioner solution if I wanted. Well, that’s exactly what I did. I dug out my portable cooling system plus my backup generator. Maybe it wasn’t energy efficient, but my tent was wonderfully air conditioned for the entire camping expedition. It turns out, I do love camping.
