Found out when I came home today that there's a problem with camping in a sandy area with a tent from around the 80's that you have no idea how to set up. The problem is the sand. Prepare to have to wash the tent clean, when you get home, from the tons of sand it manages to accumulate. Just finished it, it's taken me about 1 hour and 30 minutes and then I still need to unpack the rest of my stuff...

Next time I'm definitely taking a more "modern" tent, this one sucked big time. Took me about 1 hour to put it up and it looked like a tipi that's been standing on the spot for about a month without someone tending to it. This didn't help me to sleep at all and I gave up after trying to sleep for about one hour. From 4:30 to 7:45 I was pretty much wandering around the area alone while listening to music. I did even go for a run at 6:40-7:45. Was severely needed tbh, felt a bit nauseous and quite tired. Running cheered me up a bit.

Finally, the guy in our group who had the map got away from us on the way back while we were adjusting a mate's packing and we actually managed to walk in a few circles after that, effectively making us have to walk twice the supposed length. >.<

The camping as a whole, however, was imo a positive experience. The hours between when I'd managed to put up the tent and about 3:00 in the morning was great. This is solely because of the fact that our class is awesome. Take away that and put in for example my family and it would have sucked a lot.

TLDR: I hate camping and love my class. ;)
