WHAT DID YOUR CHARACTER BRING BACK TO CAMP WITH THEM:
Basically Sam brought back anything he forgot the first time around, plus stuff he realized he’d need after all. He’s seriously kept a thorough list too in one of his journals. (It’s the pocket-sized one he keeps in his back pocket most of the time. He writes little notes to himself in it and also jokes or impressions he likes.)
A lot more sunscreen and aloe vera gel in case the worse happens.
Travel size stuff of shampoo, soap, conditioner, floss, toothpaste, toothbrush. Razor and shaving cream.
You better believe he’s drowning in dad hats and sunglasses.
Plaid, more plaid always.
A slightly bigger tent, one with a flap to look up at the stars while he tries to sleep.
Lots of pillows, blankets, an extra sleeping bag.
Tools, tool belt, all that jazz. Most of it’s been sitting in the tool box attached to his truck, that he finally decided to bring along since he missed it.
Hunting knife, a personalized swiss army super tinker his parents bought him when they found out about the trip, it has his initials SJE. That includes a compass that has them that they got him during cub scouts.
His paintball gun and a whole lot of ammunition for it.
Balls. Lots of them. Footballs, tennis balls, soccer balls, a kickball, baseballs, volleyballs, he might’ve lifted a lot of it from the school, but they needed something to do, right? Also frisbees and some haky sacks.
Water guns and water balloons because it’s summer, hello.
So much fucking fishing gear, it’s not even funny.
LAMPS, flashlights and so so so many batteries to power them, though one of them comes with a crank.
You know that boy isn’t going without some walkie talkies, okay.
And if you didn’t believe how big of a nerd this boy is, he bought a whittling kit.
He also of course, brought a telescope. (s/o to july 2 where he literally just sat around with binoculars while it was day then his telescope at night looking for ufos for ufo day.)
Lots of water, whether in bottle form or in numerous canteens, hydration packs, Sam brought his own personal water filter.
Camp cookware, including a grill rack. FOOD. (Pasta but,,,,,,,,,,,, it came with his art supplies which he brought so.......... probably not to eat) But healthy snacks so he’s not tempted with good snacks. But seriously, a lot of camping food and he totally keeps it bear safe because you never know.
Fire starting kits, matches, lighters, that boy got it all.
Lots of rope, all kinds of it, including cords for snares.
Predictably, more comic books.
A VERY BIG AND WELL SUPPLIED FIRST AID KIT. With road flares, emergency blankets, hand sanitizer, duct tape, bobby pins and hair ties, (He be sportin that man bun sorry.)
WHAT DID YOUR CHARACTER DO WHEN THEY GOT BACK TO CIVILIZATION:
Sam hung out with Hermione and Billy for a hot minute each. Of course he also updated each bit of social media he’s on and contacted his family. Then he was all about those supplies.
WHAT’S BEEN THE BIGGEST ADJUSTMENT OF CAMP LIFE?
Not talking to his family every day, but other than missing them, that boy is completely peachy keen. He’s loving the outdoors and doesn’t mind working or getting to hang out with his friends.
Balancing work and play, sometimes he does the former more and has to remind himself to chill every now and then. Sam is literally all smiles still, he’s having the time of his life.
Sam’s been observing like crazy, he’s definitely gone exploring as much as he can. Is he drawing his own little map of everything? maybeso,gif He’s not finished though so he’s looking forward to it. He’s talked to a few people and has tried avoiding some too (HANNIBAL). If he’s spreading anything around, its sunblock or any other supplies he has overstocked that someone else needs. Also sorry Will, but Sam Evans and Scott McCall are literally plotting to steal your dog. :/
