My two biggest blunders were from the same summer, when I was 12 and attending an all-boys summer camp.
Blunder 1:
>on a day hike with my group
>get to the top of the mountain/hill, set up for lunch and a break
>have to take a dump so I head off into the brush
>drop pants a little bit but not a lot because I'm a sheltered kid and don't want to get bugs or something in my pants
>as soon as I start to squeeze out a turd I realize I'm pissing directly into my pants
>fuck
Blunder 2:
>on a weeklong backpacking trip through the adirondacks
>first night, I've been a total bitch because I'd never done something like this before and I was super homesick and scared of bears
>wake up at night, have to piss really bad
>listen for a moment before heading out of the tent, hear shuffling around
>peek out and see 3 black bears messing about in the campsite
>panic internally and stay in the tent, praying to god they don't smell the fear-stink I'm surely releasing
>lay in my sleeping bag wondering why the fuck I ever let my parents talk me into this
>eventually fall asleep because I'm so exhausted from the day
>wake up and my sleeping bag is fucking soaked
>counselors are really nice to me and tell the other campers that "there must have been an issue with the ground mat and some water got in where anon was sleeping"
>spend the rest of the week sleeping under nothing but my rain jacket because my shitty sleeping bag and mat are ruined
I came out of those mountains a different kid. I honestly think it was a good growing experience.
