She was OK with helping me set up the tent, was NOT OK with bugs, was DEFINITELY not OK with the shower/bathroom place. I think it was only about 2 hours in, when we went to register for all the Dragon stuff at the main "lodge" and she was already trying to weasel her way into a hotel room and out of the tent. I had a blast, but I felt bad for her. She's never wanted to go camping since.

LOL it's funny, my best friend tries her best to be "outdoorsy girl" but she didn't do so hot on our camping trip. She was OK with helping me set up the tent, was NOT OK with bugs, was DEFINITELY not OK with the shower/bathroom place.

Well we were about to go in the tent and go to bed, I was like 5 feet from my side and I hear people screaming bloody murder and yelling "GO GO GO GO!" They sounded like they were about 20 feet from the tent, so I shine my flashlight in that direction, and this huge ******* bear is running through our site so I haul ass in the tent and it took me FOREVER to zip it up. So if a bear had been chasing me I woulda been dead, and yes I know even if I had zipped it up it probably would have gotten in the tent anyway lol. So I go in tell my dad, he is half asleep stumbles out of the tent with an axe and my 2 lil cousins walk up and I guess there was ANOTHER bear down where they were. It was a loud uneasy night.
haha they were trying to shoo the bear away. What an ordeal, i bet you never forget that one!

Yes glass lenses are awesome. I would never buy anything other than nikon, you will be pleased with whichever model you choose.

I'm not bothered by anything. Nervous about bears, but not really fearful. Spiders, snakes, none of that stuff bothers me (when I was 4 I snuck a black snake into my sleep sack and brought it home from a camping trip and tried to keep it as a pet....actually took 2 days for my mom to find it).
