Holy shit lol The craziest thing that’s ever happened to me was a raccoon trying to get in my sleeping bag.

Magical baby Jesus that's terrifying.

See my previous comment, but to add to that...

That's a bear's house. Stop going in their house. Respect their (probably endangered idk) asses. It's almost like going into a muscle-bound, well armed psycho's house and just hoping he's not coming home soon. Or maybe it's more like swimming with sharks.

To be clear that's not at you specifically, just what comes to mind when people go camping. I'm baffled as to how a meatbag could possibly enjoy hanging out in a bear's pantry.

black bears are fairly benign though so long as you aren't in the way of their cubs. they're lopey scavengers and would rather lazily eat your garbage. i'm way more off put by snakes. snakes aren't bad, but they'll crawl up in your shiz.

I loved this episode, I spend hours watching bear videos on YouTube. Chuckling away.

Chemda perfectly describes the period anxiety that occurs every month (ignoring the hormonal chaos that occurs between bleeding)

I was supposed to be going camping this weekend for a long weekend but I’ve cancelled it because it’s raining for the next four days. I’m too old for wet camping now and my body can no longer metabolise the amount of alcohol required to make it through the experience.

Priests

As far as seminary school goes I worked with a man twenty years ago who went to be a priest but told me he gave it up because of the “nightly activities” in the dormitories.

The Catholic priest at a local church was convicted of raping boys and girls up to the age of ten over many years. The most shocking thing for me was that the local paper was full of letters from mostly women defending the priest and doubting the now adults testimony. He literally raped their children and they defended him.

Sam Harris has a good introduction regarding this on his podcast this week.

Holy shit the clip that Henrik made for Chemda’s camping story is amazing. He added some animations in it that make it so funny. A++++on hiring him for your videos.

Also I hardy ever know when my period is coming. I have PCOS and when I’m not taking birth control I can skip up to 8 months at a time. Even on birth control it still does what it wants. I’m allowed to “skip” a few months at a time, my body doesn’t always listen.

Glad you survived the Bear Chemda! I probably would have lost all control of my bowels.

When in Rome

People that look down on the homeless for being heavy drinkers have clearly never been camping.
