[In my lifetime I’ve down a lot of camping. Here is some unsolicited advice
and opinions on the subject.]
Any stone in a hiking boot migrates to the point of maximum pressure.
The distance to a given camp site remains constant as twilight approaches.
The number of mosquitoes at any given location is inversely proportional to
the amount of repellent that remains.
Waterproof clothing isn’t. (However, it is effective at retaining sweat).
The width of backpack straps decreases with the distance hiked. To
compensate, the weight of the backpack increases.
Average temperature increases with the amount of clothing brought.
Tents never come apart as easily when you’re leaving a site as when you’re
trying to get them set up in the first place.
Tent stakes come only in the quantity “N-1” where N is the number of stakes
necessary to stake down a tent.
Propane/butane tanks that are full when they are packed, will unexplainably
empty themselves before you can reach the campsite.
Rain.
