Survivor Weekend!

This little event called Survivor Weekend occurred about 2 1/2 weeks ago, but it was so fun that I had to write about it!

The army tents.  They were legit. Complete with wood stoves in each one.

 

 

Survivor took place in the back of an apple orchard(land owned by my friend Kirk's parents).  The boys set up two massive army tents, complete with wood stoves in them to keep us toasty at night, a flag pole with a rebel flag(...boys...), and a pole to hang any kills the boys made that weekend(rabbits, squirrels, etc.).

 

 

 

The beer can tree and the killings of the weekend.

Over the one night that I stayed there I became very comfortable with peeing in the woods, although I stayed alert in case the bobcat that the boys heard(...which ended up being a joke) decided to say hello.  Also, in the ONE night that I was there, I managed to lose my beloved Blackberry Torch.  My friend and I were riding a quad through the orchard trails together and at some point of the ride my phone bounced out of my pocket.  Despite many walks through all of the trails the next day, the phone was nowhere to be found.  I am sure it is busted up into little pieces under the snow and mud.

RIP Blackberry Torch 9800 (*This is not my actual phone...I am sure it looks 20x worse.)

The whole Survivor experience was a blast.  It was a day and night filled with a toasty campfire, quad rides, singing songs by the fire with beers in everyone's hands, amazing food cooked over, and sleeping on hay in the toasty army tents.  What a great way to end my Christmas break!

Have you been on a fun camping trip with friends?
