arrive early during the day and know the insects and animals in the area. take a VERY close look at the area and hang out a bit before before you put down your tent. make sure there’s a good amount of space between your tent and the woods. a couple years ago i went with friends and we (unintentionally) set down our tent in a tick hotspot. we were waking up to ticks crawling on our legs. we doused everything in deet and were super careful about walking in and out of the tent, but it only helped so much. i will not book a specific site in advance anymore unless its in a large clearing because of this. make sure to bring deet and be prepared to move in case of the worst

choose a spot to post up outside, light a stick of incense, stick it in the dirt, and lay under a shield of smoke. just clean up after yourself

its crazy to me we are now at a point where major companies are actively putting measures into their products to make them hard or impossible to fix on your own. if you take it anywhere else to get it fixed your warranty is now voided. i just paid like $1000 for this phone. do i even really own it if nobody but the company i bought it from can fix it? better yet you bring it to them and they will essentially do nothing but quote you for overpriced parts you don’t need or more likely just tell you to buy a new phone. thanks apple!!!
