In August. On a windy beach. With a dog and a child.

    You do know this is a star wars meme community and Sarek is in the star trek universe?

    Or is this some new meta meme that the kids are doing?

    I know a lot of people really dislike camping but I have trouble relating to it. What’s so miserable about being outdoors? Yes you make some sacrifices on bathroom facilities but you gain so much from being out in the wild. There’s nothing like that fresh smell you get emerging from your tent in the morning, or the pleasure of looking up at stars through the smoke of your campfire. It’s a real shame when kids never get to camp because their parents can’t rough it. Kids fucking love camping.

      Swarms of bugs make it a lot less enjoyable, at least for me. There’s nothing like seeing someone’s back entirely covered in mosquito bites just because it rained a couple days earlier. I’ve read it’s only expected to get worse with the progression of climate change, especially when it comes to invasive species.

      I guess there’s DEET and permethrin, but I don’t feel great about having to use those.

        That makes sense. It’s rarely that bad out here on the west coast but I understand from others that some regions are insufferable.

    Last year I was like “camping in summer, I don’t need a thick blanket” then winter came for 1 night 🥶

    This seems like a missed opportunity to use a still from “I know” followed by a still from immediately after he’s thawed out.
