  • My parents took us on lots of camping trips and I went with them until I was about 18. Then I continued to do it on my own and with friends for a while. It’s been years since I did a full on wilderness camping trip. We’re from northern Ontario and we went out every time of year - bug infested hot summers, wet rainy spring / fall and freezing cold winter.

    When you do it often enough, eventually you end up in situations you didn’t plan for … getting stuck overnight, unexpected rain storm / winter storm, equipment break down. Then you just break a quick basic camp, hunker down and wait for the morning or the storm to end. It’s the only option, otherwise you risk getting into more trouble if you keep going. But it also doesn’t mean you’re happy about it. I got stuck several times overnight in the middle of nowhere cold, wet, hungry, tired and miserable … it’s all doable and survivable, it’s just not very pleasant.

    9/10 for your grandma … Looks like a dual boot setup … a modern fast core system with multiple speed settings on top … and an older OS that is manually operated that can be revealed from underneath (although once the power goes out, you’d have to lose the LEDs)
