Sounds like an excellent learning experience and nobody froze to death, bonus!

You’ve learnt such a lot in just one wee trip! Sounds like you’re going to have a lot of fun with this!

How exciting!
I'm thrilled to hear your update. Congratulations, seriously, congratulations. You glossed over the one thing you have that's *crucial* for a successful trip - - a good attitude. Seriously. I know lost of people who are fully capable outside the city, and their misery is freaking contagious. Skills can be acquired and improved, gear can be bought, made, improvised... Being out there... Getting the hell up off yer butt and GOING, that's a big key to your success.

I'm a side sleeper too, and never got relaxed enough to be rested sleeping in a hammock. Your mileage may vary.

Some wise words I heard from a mate at the boy scout Seabase high adventure program was that the only difference between an ordeal and an adventure is one's attitude.
It makes all the difference. |

Man, you made real food. Good stuff. I love it when other people make bacon and eggs when I am camping. I'm lazy and just boil water and pour it over instant oatmeal, or maybe have an untoasted bagel, or something easy like that with no cleanup.

Somewhere to change so I don't have to roll around in my tent and get my pants on backwards. Happened this time. It can be used for shower/toilet, but it won't be for me.

A dressing room!
Probably should set up another to undress. |
