You're surrounded on all sides by lush, verdant alpine trees. You breathe in nature's aroma and sit back on your camping chair, utterly satisfied with your decision to come here. It's been a rocky road to this point literally and figuratively, but now, you're ready to rest, to rejuvenate and recharge your batteries.
The lake to your front is as still as the ether; your mind collaborates with the theme of the environment and hushes to a soothing frequency. You are at peace. Only the squawks of rare birds of prey as they rocket from sky-high trees fill the silence. You've known bigger troubles in your time.
You spend your day reading, reclining, exploring, setting-up and breathing deep, comforting breaths. Your body's energy shifts in tandem with your mind's to the chilled-out vibe of Mother Nature. Nothing could spoil this day. Or could it?
Rumbles in your stomach come as messengers: you haven't filled it yet today. You were so rushed in the morning trying to make it in time to beat rush hour traffic you just didn't get a chance. You should have packed the night before and given yourself time, you know, but life doesn't always work out as it should. Your mouth salivates in preparation for the food it anticipates receiving.
You reach into your bag and see powdered packets of dried food. "Yum," an involuntary part of you lets out in sheer hunger, followed by an enthusiastic: "Man, am I going to munch on that baby."
You get your utensils ready and reach for the propane burner. "This. Can't. Be. Happening," you shriek, thinking that if you repeat the words enough times they may turn true. But it is happening: you forget the propane burner and now you can't eat.
No matter how many times you were shown how to make fire by rubbing two sticks together, you remained utterly incompetent at the practice. "Who am I, Grizzly Adams?" you used to say defensively. Now you wish you hadn't. Now you wish you had listened, or at least been smart enough to remember the propane burner.
Lesson: camping without a propane burner can lead to pain and much personal anguish.
