camping fail

sometimes we win at camping, sometimes we fail lessons learned from camping in the southwest

#CAMPINGFAIL our first camping trip in New Mexico, back in September 2014 to Chaco Canyon was amazing but we learned a few important lessons all in one night... 1)PUT THE FLY ON, EVEN IF ITS WARM IN THE DAYTIME IT GETS COLD AT NIGHT, WITHOUT THE FLY YOU ARE LITERALLY SLEEPING OUTSIDE... 2) BRING FLASHLIGHTS (WE DIDN’T BRING ANY!) ESPECIALLY WHEN CAMPING AT ONE OF A FEW ‘DARK SITES’ IN THE US WHERE THERE IS LITERALLY NO LIGHT POLLUTION... 3) BRING PILLOWS, IF NOTHING ELSE, PILLOWS, YOUR SWEATSHIRT IS NOT THE SAME THING. Chaco Canyon, NM. September 2014.

#CAMPINGFAIL MAKE SURE YOUR TINY ONE BURNER PROPANE COOK STOVE IS ON FLAT GROUND / TABLETOP OR IT WILL TIP OVER AND SET THE TABLE ON FIRE, AND SPILL YOUR COUSCOUS EVERYWHERE. City of Rocks, NM. 2015.

#CAMPINGFAIL NOT STAKING DOWN YOUR TENT. Grand Canyon. May 2015. 

Ours is the orange and gray tent, our neighbors is the blue tent on its side in the woods next to our tent. When they got back to their camping spot they started freaking out thinking someone hand stolen their tent. #TheWind #Camping Fail
