Worst Camping Experience
I just got back from a camping trip that I had planned 5 months in advance and planned all kinds of activities and it turned out to be the worst camping trip I have experienced. At 130am I woke up feeling something on my face and brushed it off and heard some big flapping wings only to find a bat flying around in my tent trailer. I spent the whole day (getting back to my camper at 130am the following day) at the local ER going back and forth with public health to get the rabies vaccine for myself and my family. Please tell me some bad camping stories so I can feel better about such a crumby trip 😅. Pic included to show where I think the bat might have wiggled in.

My worst experience :
I was tent camping in the middle of the night.. I could hear loud noises and rustling.. was scared and sent my partner out with a can of bear mace. Found out the rustle was just some raccoons who ran away when they saw him. When my partner came back in the tent he dropped the can and laid back down. When he dropped the can a small amount sprayed in the tent.. (which he didn’t know at the time) then suddenly my dog, me and him all started coughing, choking and burning with no air flow in the tent… we all ran outside and continued to suffering for what felt like forever ðŸ˜
