Today, it's day two of my family's camping trip. Despite the weather, bugs, and portapotties, we were doing okay, until the can opener broke. My husband is stubbornly insisting that we live off cereal and peanut butter for another five days. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my dad announced that to "save money", instead of going to the beach we will be going camping. My brothers thought it was awesome. I can't stand the thought. Instead of a sexy golden tan, I now get bug bites, pit toilets, and bear attacks! Ugh! FML
Today, I went camping. My tent is flooded, a raccoon ate all my food, I lost the anchor to my boat which as a result is now across the lake. Three more days. FML
Today, was the third day of my camping trip with my "friends". I woke up in my boxers with my hand glued to my forehead. FML
Today, my family is getting ready for a vacation. My idea of a vacation is being on a beach, staying in a luxurious hotel, with cute guys and great restaurants everywhere. Unfortunately, we are going to be sleeping in a cold tent in the mountains, cook over a fire, and listen to bears stomp around at night. FML
Today, I went camping with my husband. We drove 11 hours to his favourite site before he remembered he didn't put the tent in the car. FML
Today, I got food poisoning in the middle of the wilderness while hiking in a state park with my husband. I had to tend to nature several times before we reached our car. The only supplies I had was a bottle of water and a laminated trail map. It was part of an anniversary trip. How romantic. FML
Today, I got back from a camping trip after being homesick for 3 weeks. I couldn't remember why I had wanted to be away from my family for so long when I signed up for it. When I got home, I remembered. Everyone in my family hates each other. I want to go back to the camping site. FML
Today, I'm on a camping trip, and despite the lovely weather, I'm wearing long clothing so the mosquitoes can’t sting me. Unfortunately, nobody seems to have told THEM that. FML
Today, while my man raves about that one time he went hiking with his brother, without even a sleeping bag, spending the night under piles of dry leaves, now that we are looking for a small camper van, he insists it must have a toilet, kitchen, and indoor shower. FML
Today, my dad decided that campground bathrooms are disgusting and that on our upcoming camping trip, we'll have to keep a bucket of cat litter in our tent in case we want to go to the bathroom. FML

If your cereal is Frosted Flakes - they're grrrreat! If it's oatmeal fyl..... I hope you brought other stuff apart from cereal and peanut butter that wasn't in cans - no respectable camper leaves without KD or ramen noodles.......

The real question: smooth or crunchy peanut butter?

Camping with portapotties and canned goods? If you were really camping you'd suck it up and go hunt for your meal and rough it out

Sounds like the time I was backpacking in Alaska. Not only did our water purifier break one week into our 14 day trip, but I severely sprained my ankle on day two. We didn't turn back... and neither should you! Peanut butter is awesome!

Good thing you brought your phone to Post about it on FML. I suggest you get some pizza delivered right into your tent.

Yeah, really. Where I live, if you have cell service, it's less than a 10 minute drive to a fast food place. Lulzzz! (But then again, that's Canada for ya.)

If you have cereal I assume you have milk. I'm sorry your can opener has broken and you now need to be "roughing it". How about enjoy the scenery without regard to what you have to eat and be happy that you have something to eat in the first place. Rant over.

If I were you I'd be stoked about those options!

Come on, where's your sense of adventure and survival? Isn't that what camping is all about?
