Ugh; that sounds awful. We sleep on cots when we car camp, and we've never backcountry camped. I'm not sure my hips/back could take it.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
