How’re ya now?
Not s’bad.
Here’s three things I learned on my first one day camping trip with Kuma.
Things are a million times scarier than it looks in the dark.
I took like 4 bathroom trips behind a boulder in the darkness with just my headlamp and my bare ass just out. I was so afraid i didn’t even wanna check for spiders or bugs around me. Kuma wouldn't sleep at camp and we were up at 4am in the middle of the woods with only the light of my flashlight and headlamp. We obvi survived and I laughed about it the next morning, but i was shitting bricks thinking “nah, there’s no Cucuye in Big Bear” while constantly checking my 4 person tent to make sure no Blair Witch stuff was happening. Why did my mind go there? I probably never got over scary movies lol Yes, i'm afraid of 3am things and slendermen as a 32 year-old adult. I do not care lol Though i probably did not shit bricks more than when we were arriving to camp, driving up the off road trail at the edge of sunset and pulling up the hill of the camp spot in darkness. Driving through trails is one thing, driving through trails in the dark with no fancy light mods on my rig was a totally different scary lol I guess it’s not as bad as when you know the car upfront is leading the way and you’re in the guidance of a hot marine veteran who does this often.

When that same hot marine veteran offers you sun block, you damn well take it. No matter how lazy you are, even if the truck is right ahead of you as you are drunk in your seat about a dozen feet away. Even though you are "trying to even your sick farmers tan", apply the damn sun screen. I fell asleep, drunk in my chair for about an hour and the damage from the even worse farmers tan is night and day. I have since doused myself in aloe vera and aquaphor.
Day Beers are the best.
You start the day the way the most interesting man Dos Equis starts his day. At least, i would imagine he does. The coldness of the beer is refreshing in the nature sun. You have a couple day beers with hot marine veteran, have funny conversations about the most randomest yet inquisitive things, learn more about him that makes his personality even hotter, take a mid day nap (hopefully not in the sun without sun block) and you still have the whole rest of the day to play with the pups, clean up and head home.
My only regret is not taking more photos and videos of our adorable ass pups and the beautiful scenery around us.
