>>2397863important lessons to learn, my friend. one of my favorite camping stories my dad told me was when he was a young lad and went out with his friend and they brought nothing but a loaf of bread and some cans of tuna, and got a can of beans donated from a stranger they met. he got my grandfather to drop them off and he of course knew damn well what they were in for, must have been laughing his ass off about it behind the scenes. when he came and picked them up he of course brought a big load of nice sandwiches for them.
these are lessons that really stick with you, and despite whatever hardship, you will certainly look back fondly on those memories
