song i'm listening to while typing this post: "suburban war," by arcade fire

when setting out on a camping adventure, it's important to have the appropriate equipment.

lets see:

yes, tents. of course. a standard piece of camping equipment. what's next...

sleeping bags! gotta keep the cold and the snakes out, right? next:

a possible necessity should it rain and you don't want to mess up the gobs of mascara you wore to the wilderness.

duh. for the drive down. probably also include these. what else?

i guess. if you're that type of camper.

yes. if you want to make a mountain man breakfast. or peach cobbler. mmmm...peach cobbler...

what else?

WThuh? machetes? what kind of camping involves machetes? are we traveling from the Others's camp to the Beach? is there the possibility of ninja invasion? if the answer to both of these questions is "no," then leave the machetes at home.
