This week I went camping with REI
employees in Yosemite. It was really funny being the only one who did not work for the outdoor equipment store. Most of their
conversations revolved around high-tech gear which I could only dream of
affording or knowing how to use, and to the untrained ear the employees’
exchanges sounded highly ridiculous.
A: Is that the new Marmot sleeping bag?
B: Ya, I Pro-Dealed it last week and so far I’m loving it.
A: I’m not surprised, it’s a basic 15 but it’s got great
loft.
B: Very true. I was going to test out Big Agnes but the
Marmot’s vertical baffles really sold me.
On every prior camping trip I’ve ever taken, we’ve struggled
for close to an hour to pitch the tent and subsisted on PB&Js when we
failed to light the camping stove. Camping with people in the know is my new
favorite thing.
