And, this brings me to an existential question: Why, when you wake in the night needing to pee, your first, fleeting thought is that you can ignore the feeling and just go back to sleep? You know that's not going to work and yet you think it might.

It's so true, yet you think it every night ... "if I just close my eyes I can go back to sleep and I won't have to get up." And every night it just gets worse until you're forced to get up and go.

I think it's just wishful thinking ...

Not only is my body insistent about getting up, but every night my brain gives me a new dream about water. It's NEVER the same dream, and before long, I just let out an "oh maaaaaan" roll out of bed, and head for the head...

ESSENTIAL gear, fo me, includes two small flashlights - one to leave turned on inside the tent so I can find it and the other to find all those tent ropes strung between my tent and the Porta.

I've got a better system. My tent has a mesh pocket right by where the head of my sleeping bag goes. I put the light in the pocket- always easy to find.
