A 9-year-old at a campsite explained my tent setup was wrong and she was right
Last weekend at Big Basin, a little girl with pigtails walked up and said my rainfly was too tight. Told me to loosen the corner straps or condensation would soak my bag. I brushed her off at first. Woke up at 3am with damp sleeping bag. She was watching from her tent when I packed up and just gave me this knowing little smile. Anyone else get schooled by a kid on basics you thought you knew?

Wait, she was watching you from inside her tent the whole time?

Used to think kids just parroted stuff they heard from adults. But nah she knew her stuff and I should've listened. Definitely rethinking how much I actually know now.
