Given a chance, matches will find a way to get wet.

Your side of the tent is the side that leaks. Always.

All foods assume a uniform taste, texture, and color when freeze-dried.

When reading the instructions of a pump-activated water filter, “hour”
should be substituted for “minute” when reading the average quarts filtered
per minute.

The weight in a backpack can never remain uniformly distributed.

All tree branches in a forest grow outward from their respective trunks at
exactly the height of your nose. If you are male, tree branches will also
grow at a “lower” height.

You will lose the little toothpick in your Swiss Army knife as soon as you
open the box.

Enough dirt will get tracked into the tent on the first day that you can
grow the food you need for the rest of the trip in rows between sleeping
bags.

The sun sets three-and-a-half times faster than normal when you’re trying to
set up camp.

Bears.
