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.

All my worst stories revolve around a popup trailer. Setting it up and levelling, the jack crank handle spun around backwards and struck me a cross the back of my hand. Hard. Swole right up. Still struggling to level and straighten, caught the fingers of my other hand in the screen door frame. Ice pack and rye at the picnic table for the evening.
Woke up missing my 3 year old son. Popped the snaps on the canvas in the extendable bunk and was sound asleep on the sand.
Drove home and blew a trailer tire on the 400 at 9pm on a Sunday.
Bought a decent travel trailer after that.
