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

He's an idiot. Campers are always nice, I'm sure you'll be able to borrow one.

What? Did you just read the first sentence and assume what this post was about?

OR... You could eat REAL camping food, which involves hot dogs on day one, hamburgers on day two, beef stew on day three, sandwiches on day four and leftovers on day five. Duh.

Right? Poptarts, Hotdogs, Easy Mac, Chili, Deli Meats. That's just how camping was meant to be.

Yet you still have phone coverage. Order a pizza. You can't be that far in the woods. Or you can get in the car, drive a few miles to a store (you know there is one not too far away), and buy 10 can openers.

You didn't bring a spare? Don't you guys have those cans that don't need a can opener? I opened 2 cans of soup to make my stroganoff & I didn't need a can opener! There has to be a store nearby! Go buy one! Next time take a spare, can openers break all the time!!! YDI!!!

You are whining, and I'm fairly certain you are exaggerating. I'm sure that you have other non-canned food besides peanut butter and cereal. Also, you have a phone. I can't remember ever going camping and having cell reception. So either you are not that far away from civilization, or you are in town for a day. EIther way, you should not be in desperate need of food. Also, it's a can opener. Any other campsite within 1/2 a mile should have one, and campers are always nice. Stop whining, put away your smartphone, and enjoy the outdoors. And you had to brave portapotties? Oh, you poor thing, we'll get you a metal for bravery when you get back. I'm a girl by the way.

Catch a wild animal and cook it. Lol. Or a knife maybe? Or next time take a p51 or p38 with you.
