One of my fav camping memories I was in my tent cuddling up with a girlfriend on the inflate mattress. I unzipped the roof so we could look at the stars through the screen and through the surrounding tree branches. All the while inhaling nos

Last time I really camped was some years ago out in the Tetons. Tripped off a light dose of mushrooms. Would've been heavier but my friend was too much of a puss. The stars were fucking unbelievable. It was like layers upon layers upon layers of stars. And every twig that we heard break that night we thought was a grizzly, lol. Or a pack of wolves. The coolest thing I remember from that night was shining the flashlight around. I really don't know how to explain it...it was just really amazing looking, the pitch darkness that surrounded the scope of light from the flashlight. And everything within that scope of light was just...so incredibly clear. They the clearest clear I've ever seen. And the darkness around it was simultaneously the blackest black that I've ever seen. Lol, idk.
Those trees out there too, man. They absolutely tower above you.

The first time I ever got drunk it was when we were all camping. I got completely shitfaced. I broke my friends mirror on his car by drunkenly leaning on it for balance. Then I got really sick and passed out in the woods lol
A couple hours later I got into the tent cuz I wasn't as sick and one of my friends was like "Gross you smell like puke". I go "Nah I'm fine" and pass out next to all my buddies. Good times
Then I had the shittiest hangover the next day. Couldn't enjoy camping at all. I think it rained too

Every time I trip at night the sky always feels/looks like a canopy with holes punched in it with light coming in from behind it
Fricking blows my mind

A best friend of mine told me now for months we'd go out to the woods for a couple days camping through 4th of July. But I just found out everyone was planning on not telling me before I got there that the real plan was to stay a week,which honestly would piss me off more then anything and I'd probably hate my friends more. Not only did they not ask if had work on Monday but I was also going to buy food for people so now they're pissed but they can be pissed all they want . I'm not spending 8 days in the forest near 0 bathrooms and not much more then 6 days of water. All that sounds really fun but I try constantly to stay with people when they go places but I always have to go home after the 3rd or 4th night out usually due to some medical issue. I was quite mad that they were mad at my best friend of 5 years. He acted a complete fool when he knows I have medical issues in which I would've said no if he told me the truth. However now I get to spend 4th with my new female friend which is really all I wanted. They said I couldn't bring her first off which also mad me mad because I've never taken a female camping and I really wanted too. So it worked out I guess. I just have about 10 really strong hits of acid I was going to Suprise people with. Oh well I'm probably getting laid in my comfy bed while those fuckers dig shitholes

That campin trip was a total fail. 
So, we left on Saturday afternoon, around 1:30pm. We drove about 80 miles to the campsite, 7 miles were really rough terrian with lots of pot holes and rocks. Ive done this road before and it sucks. But i did it.
We get there, no ones there. We were supposed to meet my GF's brother and all his step-family. No one was at the campsite. We were all like "WTF?". My Gfs freaking out like we were at the wrong campsite altogether. So we start a fire on a fire pit near the campsite near the last mini camp stove.
We ate our cooked food. I made some bomb chicken thighs and learned the secret of smoking. Cooked chicken thighs in a pot with BBQ sauce then held the chicken thighs over the smoking fire. It tasted SO good. Smoking meat FTW.
Anyway, after cooking and eating, it starting rain pretty hard. then later it stopped. We all descided to leave the camp site and try to contact her brother via text message in an area with cell phone reception.
We packed up our wet stuff, headed back down the mountain. As with our other trips, we have gathered rocks for our pond we made.
We stopped and loaded these rocks into the back of my car into a large tool box i fixed onto a reak rack i got for my SUV. We loaded this thing with basketball sized boulder rocks. Very heavy.
Well, we strapped up the tool box with heavy rocks, headed down the mountain. It was rough, hit the back of the carrier a couple times on the ground. I was afraid i might snap the rack off.
well, we make it down the 7 mile road from hell. We made it to the made road, i feel like my car is swaying Something felt wrong. I pulled over on the side of the road near a main road, and i check my tires, the left rear was flat. Fuck.
Doesnt surprize me since they were old tires and i had a patch on that tire.
So, i try to find my socket bar for the tire lug nutz. I see had a huge 1-1/2" socket on there i used for my wheel bearing i fixed a month ago. Fuck.
So my GF waves down the first car she sees. This nice foriegn SUV pulls over, and stops right in the middle of the main road to talk to us lol.
The guy pulls into the place we were, he was some guy from Germany and his Asian wife. They had a rental car.
He pulls out his crow bar from the rental and i try it, it fits! Success. We had to take out most the rocks from the carrier cause i needed access to the spare tire.
Mid way thru me lifing the car, the car slipped off the jack and almost hit my GF. Yikes. Then i chocked my wheel like i should have before. Should have done that 
Then i lift it again, the German guy says with his cool accent "Hey, how about we trade crow bars and i could get on my way?" I say "sure, i can do that." i gave him my crow bar. He was a cool guy, very friendly and helpful. we got lucky.
We lifted the car, replaced the tire, then put some of the rocks back into the carrier. We left half of the rocks just to safe.
We drive home and reach some reception. My GF calls her brother to see what the hell happened with this camping trip. Turns out, we were at teh right campsite, they left early! All of them. He said it rained basically the whole time they camped, everyone was so over camping in the rain, they left. I wish they left a note at the campsite! Fuck. Apparently, my GF brother texted my GF and she got it AFTER we got down the mountain.
Some bullshit.
Also, the brother said he left at around 1pm. We left our home at that time! we just missed them on the road
Anyway, we drive 80 miles back home on the same flippin day, Saturday. We got home and visited my GFs brother who was drying all their stuff in the driveway and told everyone this story. We had some food left overs, then picked my GFs son who camped a couple days ago at the same spot, who was in town. Then we went home and grumbled about our shitty experience.
Heres the kicker. My GFs older son brought his teen GF and it was first time going camping and it was a total bust.
Such a stupid day.
But cooking on the campfire was nice, and the views at the campsite was amazing. So it was still pretty cool to travel 
Lesson learned, dont abandon your people that you are expecting to come to the campsite! Thats just fucked.
Thats my story.

Sorry to hear that man, but the summer is young and there is plenty more opportunities to get out and go camping again!

Your GF's son missed a killer opportunity to win over his girl. There will be more camping opportunities for the family, but maybe not the teen and his GF :o He was totally in for some action.
Im sorry bout the less than ideal circumstances brother, but these things happen when you go camping The brother leaving without telling y'all would kind of upset me, but rain and things are a part of the camping experience, you know? Go out next weekend!!

I'm trying to get into camping more. Currently working on purchasing equipment and scoping out national forests that I want to visit. I'm also trying to put together a good collection of camping gear, everything from backpack sized tents to fire starters, etc.
The hardest part is just finding the time. A lot of times, I just don't have 2-3 days to just leave and camp and do nothing. I guess if I got some kind of satellite internet connection, maybe I could take my work with me, but what the fuck is the point of that? Even if I have the time off, there's a lot of other personal stuff that I have in my life that I can't just abandon for 2-3 days.
As a result, I camp like once a year. But man, I would camp every month if I had the time.
