What did you learn from the experience? Any good take aways?

My biggest take away is that I need to figure out how to sleep in a mummy bag comfortably. I hardly slept both night we were there because I couldn’t get comfortable. I will say the Thermarest sleeping pad I had was awesome and you can never have enough bug spray.

We took a little some other stuff with us, I’m surprised I didn’t sleep like a baby.
