Before I agreed to go on a camping trip with some friends, I had a list of questions for them.
- I wanted to know things like, how multiple evenings would my buddy and I be sleeping, how immense was the tent, how tepid or frosty were the uneven temperatures, and was there any source of heat and air? The last questions made my friends chuckle, because we’d be staying in a tent and there was genuinely no source of heat or air! Upon hearing this, I asked them if I could pack a portable fan for the tepid afternoons.
They laughed at me again, because there would be no electricity around the tent. I hated how they were laughing at me for asking simple questions that I didn’t understand. This fueled me to search for a portable solution for air that did not require electricity. To my surprise, it did not take me long to find a enjoyable solution. I discovered a portable fan that only required batteries, so I purchased one and brought it along. When I took it out of my bag, my friends were really confused. I told them about how the fan worked by only using batteries and they were amazed. I’d only brought one along, so I kept the cool air on myself the entire time. I could tell my friends were frustrated with me, however they were the ones who made fun of me when I asked them questions about heat and air. I enjoyed watching them suffer in the heat while I was completely relaxed with my fan blowing cool air on me.
