And then like you get there and it's taken be open minded number five is go for more than one night.

It takes a couple of days even for me, even for somebody who's done lots and lots of trips, it takes me a couple of nights and a couple of days to like get into the rhythm, get into the flow, like get used to sleeping on your thermos, do yourself a favor.

Like give yourself three or four nights to like really get into your like camp routine.
