Since I suppose I'm the few professional here...

1) In the wilderness, instead of regulating your surroundings, you must regulate yourself. This means putting layers on and taking them off.

2) You never stand in a tent, you should never have to. Tents are places to stop and rest, if you want to walk, you go outside.

3) When you live in an enclosed space, expect all privacy to go out the window. If you need to pee in the middle of the night, go out and pee. Otherwise you get caught in an evil cycle, and your mind will not let you off the subject until you actually go pee.

4) If you keep the lights low or dim at night, you won't get bugs.

5) Earplugs.

Not sure I agree. I've seen the sun rise over mountains, oceans, and deserts, and not only did it not phase me, but I'd usually find myself irritated because I was still tired, hadn't eaten yet, and now needing to ditch the sweater I'd been wearing to see it happen.

I live in the woods really, and it's so pretty to see everything turning pink and gold and red, and everything almost seems to glow green for a few minutes. And it is cold in the morning. Why in the world would you want to not be wearing a sweater?

[EndOfTheEarth]

Because there's at least twenty degrees of temperature change once the sun itself is actually up, more in extreme environments. In the desert, that means it goes from 40 to 90 in about fifteen minutes, and you do NOT want to be wearing a sweater in 90 degree weather. Same goes for mountains and hiking.

Got into a fight with my friend about Mexicans. It started with;
Jake: "Stupid Mexicans taking all our jobs and not paying taxes!"
(Rest assured, I pwned the twit until he /literrally/ begged me to stop.) But it ended with;
Me: "Even if being gay is a sin, which we could argue about all day long, they deserve the same rights to marriage as everyone else. Take adultresses, for example. The Bible says that they aren't allowed to remarry. But they do and it's perfectly legal."

No, I have no idea how we went from Mexicans to gays... O.o

[Contradiction]

The funny thing is, everyone complains that they take the jobs. The jobs that Americans find too unappealing to take anyway.

[Hannah]

The idea is that the companies who hire Mexicans can make them less appealing because thy still have people who will work those jobs at those rates.

^This. Sooooo much. :D

Uh-oh. Wait a bit and see what's going on with it. A few minutes after it happens isn't very good for a self-diagnosis.

Rest it on a tabletop or counter or hold that arm above your head. Check for swelling. Once/if the pain goes down, put pressure against your arm counter to the directions you move it to see if anything's been damaged, it should be pretty apparent pretty quickly.
