Day 308: Within Tent

The enabler (it's not a jerry can't)

Rain starts in the early hours of the morning, drumming hard on my tent, which is brilliantly leak-proof.  I know it's not to everybody's taste, but I love being in a tent when it's raining. 

Particularly when you are well-equipped.  I have a properly-cushioned sleeping mat, a double sleeping bag, and a fleece blanket.  Plus lamp, reading material, water and apples. 

And an in-tent sanitation system - jerry can and funnel in the porch area.  This is a game changer.  I am never going back to pre-ISS days. 

So I am an island.  Self-sufficient and content.  When I was a child, my favourite haunt was up in the branches of an apple tree, hidden away with a book.  Particularly at harvest time (snacks to hand, no need to leave tree). 

I once did a personality profiling test, where my scores for autonomy were off the chart.  Who knew?
