Sometimes, puns are too good not to point out. This is one of those times! We all know what erect means in the context of tents. It’s all about proper tent setup, sturdy poles, and ensuring that the shelter stands tall. But, oh boy, did this sign take things to a whole new level of innuendo!
But lo and behold, this particular tent proudly flaunted a sign that elevated the innocent act of tent setup, much to the amusement of everyone passing by. It’s a little boastful, to be honest. I mean, is it really that sturdy and well-built that you need to advertise it?
To Each His Own
A tent with a drawstring might've been fine when you were an Eagle Scout, but as an adult, you need something a bit more robust when venturing out into the wilderness. Unfortunately, whoever bought this tent probably didn't realize how difficult it would be to open once they were inside.
With so many innovations in tent technology, there are plenty of camping shelters to choose from these days and there's absolutely no reason for you to get one like this. Nobody wants to sleep in a tent like this. Unless Bear Grylls is in there. Everybody seems to love that guy.
Camping Doggie Style
It seems like literally, everyone wants to go camping this summer, and when we say everyone, we also mean our fuzzy, four-legged friends! Like this stupidly adorable dog. But, this is no ordinary dog - this is Adventure Dog, with capital letters and his own hanging hammock to match.
Even if both you and your furball have no plans to climb peaks any time soon, you can still train your dog to hang with you when you go camping. Just remember to bring the leash and have them properly trained, so that you can enjoy the great outdoors together, trekking side by side.
Muddy Waters
Let's face it, camping sucks sometimes. Don't get us wrong, camping can be great if everything goes reasonably well, but if people were meant to sleep on the ground, we wouldn't have invented houses, right? Otherwise, we'd all end up sleeping in muddy water, like at the reserved camping site.
They probably didn't foresee that much rainwater when they were planning their trip. Whoever reserved it may want to change their mind and come back when all the water has cleared up, cause no matter how advanced your tent is, you don't want to be sleeping in a puddle that will drench all your camping gear.
Minimalist Camper
Choosing the right tent is the most important part of creating a good campsite vibe, so pick carefully. If it's too big you might not find a decent space to set it up. If it's too small, well... you might not be able to fit inside it. Like in this case.
Could it be that he intentionally bought a tent so small so he could carry it around at all times? That way he can be sure to camp wherever and whenever he needs and not worry about bug bites or the morning sun waking him up after a late night.
