Things I learned on my recent walkabout


Things I learned


  • It's better to dig a hole than to use a drop toilet
  • I never used my big burner
  • It's hard to find others
  • Bring a bigger tent than you think you need.the extra space is awesome. Rei tents rock. If you don't like REI then suckit.
  • A rooftop tent is awesome. Cleaning the bugs off if the front of it is not.
  • You have a max speed of 70 mph with a roof tent. Deal with it.
  • A fridge and house battery is awesome. It's worth the money.
  • My hair looks better after 4 days of not washing.
  • I never cooked an egg.
  • I don't like paying for camping.
  • Your phone service provider sucks
  • Spend at least an hour a day doing nothing. You will be happier, more creative, and more zen about the world.
  • Hydrate, hydrate hydrate.
  • Keep the bits clean. Wet wipes rule. So does a washcloth.
  • Find your campsite early. Like 4 or 5 Early. You won't regret it.
  • Nothing is like you remember it. There were a lot less people in the world when you were growing up.
  • You can easily walk farther than you think.
  • Get a good folding chair. You will use it daily.
  • A pee bottle in the tent is awesome. Make sure it's a different color than your water bottle.
  • You will get lonely.
  • You will experience joy.
