Recently, a group of friends and I took a bunch of things we love (Electricity, clean clothes, showers, Internet, 7-11, beds, air conditioning, toilets, and phones.) and tossed it out the window for a week to go sleep on the ground outside.
It sounds ridiculous, I know. But it's beautiful during the day. You can canoe, swim, lounge around in the sun, and enjoy all that Mother Nature has to offer you. And the best part is, there's not a soul to bother you for kilometers and kilometers away.
Although...it's a completely different story at night. You see, sleeping in a bag, surrounded by bears, wolves, moose, spooky trees and serial killers, with no one to hear you scream for kilometers and kilometers away, is downright crazy. You're practically packaged up nicely for the bears to enjoy! And shit, even if you somehow do make it through the night, you wake up freezing, in a puddle, with a rash. Awesome!
Okay, I'm exaggerating a tad. I actually did have a really good time, but I'm glad to be back in civilization. Trying to make a computer out of coconuts is a lot harder than I'd imagined. The wireless signal is awful, and the lack of coconuts in southern Ontario is a pain.
