Regarding the black people and water question. When I was at boot camp, and everyone was required to jump into the water with all their clothes on (and their pack) every single white and hispanic soldier did it without hesitation. I'd say maybe 30% of the black soldiers outright refused. One actually froze on the high dive and wouldn't even get down (until he was dragged down by a drill instructor). I never had much interaction with black people growing up, so that was something I was definitely not expecting.Keith Wilcoxhttp://www.almightydad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8117339092748057578.post-48048284757640509872010-10-07T10:34:27.509-05:002010-10-07T10:34:27.509-05:00@Glen - I have already purchased some for next yea...@Glen - I have already purchased some for next year.

One friend also had a root the first night. But I don't remember if he did the second night.

We went to Carolina Beach and it was late Spring. We didn't know that the water even had the option of being cold during that time of the year. But it was.

I think black people just have more sense then the rest of us - if we were meant to hang out in the water we would have gills. Did you ever run into a rabid squirrel or maybe a pissed off chipmunk? Tell me you used the knife for something!? I think after about an hour of trying to sleep I would have used the knife to rip out the root - right through the tent.lizziehoophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17549192854811356907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8117339092748057578.post-738687150416229672010-10-03T02:35:04.036-05:002010-10-03T02:35:04.036-05:00Haha boys will be boys!Haha boys will be boys!JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05776771765597948110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8117339092748057578.post-52239155473927469532010-10-02T22:31:31.667-05:002010-10-02T22:31:31.667-05:00It could be that black people are smarter than whi...It could be that black people are smarter than white people.

Cold water is only slightly below throwing up on the list of things I detest most. A gazillion years ago, hubby and I took a trip to the ocean just before he left for basic training. I'd been to the gulf many times in my life, but never the ocean. It was Florida - it was summer - the water was FREEZING. I don't care if I ever see the ocean again.SandyAnnDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02590447788967563338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8117339092748057578.post-52047527455062507502010-10-02T13:47:50.590-05:002010-10-02T13:47:50.590-05:00i never need to go camping if i want a butt bomb. ...i never need to go camping if i want a butt bomb. haha husband has woken me up a time or two getting ready for work. one time, i almost threw up haha i find i'm running to the bathroom more often if i'm very cold, but since you said it stopped after having the foam mat, i have come to conclusion that you are just plain WEIRD lolPamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12365631315923740004noreply@blogger.com
