Hiking and camping is an excellent passtime.
As a kid, my mom and dad loved hiking and camping, and they did it no matter the weather.
I think if they had grown up in this day and age of remote work, they’d be living somewhere in the mountains. Well, they always had to come back into the city for work. And that’s the only reason we had a house in the suburbs. Otherwise, each chance they got, we ended up somewhere new enjoying the loveliest views. Well, as a homeschooled kid, I found this to be quite fun. Years later, they settled down so I could join high school, then they resumed traveling after I left for college. Even today, in their 50s, mom and dad hike like they’re in their 20s. I also have the same hiking and camping bug, just that now I do it with my friends. Last summer, we had plans to rent a camper van and enjoy a more comfortable experience with AC. However, my friends suggested at the last minute, we leave the AC and camp in our tents. Now, I know how hot it can get and suggested we all bring a portable AC. Now, these units aren’t light, but I also didn’t want to be sweating in the high heat. When we arrived at the campground, we unpacked, set up our tents, and I had my portable AC running. No one else had come with a portable AC, and we were spending a few days in the area. A heat wave hit and I almost didn’t share my portable AC with my friends who were begging for some relief. I truly hope they’ve learned their lesson.
