This is a little bit embarrassing, but how do you get used to camping outside? I need to travel some more to get to places but I always feel like I'm not really camping right. I never really did it at home, so I'm not very used to it.

[And there's the fact that he really doesn't like forests since... well. It reminds him of that place.]

What kind of tips have you all picked up on the road? I'm kind of curious.

dont sleep in trees.

dont leave your stuff alone

camping isnt as fun as people make it sound.

[grapeeater]

Why would you be sleeping in a tree?

text

[shatterings]

I had no idea there was a wrong way to camp...

text

[grapeeater]

Well it's not exactly comfortable. A lot of people seem okay with it and it's never been comfortable for me.

Text

[fony]

it seemed like a goo d idea at the time.

Text

[grapeeater]

But why?

[He just doesn't get it.]

text

[shatterings]

Maybe... you need a more comfortable tent?

text

[grapeeater]

Maybe. I'm not used to this much wilderness being around.

[unkinder]

The only way you're going to get used to something is by doing it.

[And here's Nagi, with the most obvious of obvious answers.]

If you don't have a Pokemon that can teleport or fly, I would advise against traveling long distances right away.

[Trust him. It sucks.]

[shatterings]

Neither am I... How long have you been here?

well i didnt want to sleep on the ground, even in a tent. so i tried to sleep in a tree. its not more comfotable.

[grapeeater]

[Thanks, Nagi.]

I do have a Kadabra. I suppose I could use him if he's feeling 'generous' enough to do that.

[grapeeater]

A... while. But I've been in Goldenrod for most of it.

Text

[grapeeater]

Yeah I'd think that was kind of obvious.

text

[shatterings]

I haven't really spent much time in Goldenrod... Do you like it there?

[unkinder]

Like I said, it also depends on how far you actually plan on traveling. Teleport can only get you so far, and in an emergency you'll be sent back the opposite direction of where you wanted to be anyway.

[fony]

yeah well. i didnt think it was.

[dangerousidol]

Oh? You finally want to go camping?

Take a tent, a comfy sleeping bag, dry food... well, things like clothes lines, clothing pins... oh, there's a lot! I'll write it down and send it to you, okay?

[She knows a little too much about camping since she was stuck in Ilex Forest for a while.]

Text

[grapeeater]

Have you not been outside before or something?

text

[grapeeater]

Yes. It's the biggest city in this region, so it's the closest to being like home.

[grapeeater]

I'm not sure. I was thinking maybe Mahogany.

[grapeeater]

Oh. I don't want to be a bother, Rise-san. I have some supplies already... I mean, I've been around and it takes a bit to get to Goldenrod... but I still don't like it. And I've got to travel somehow, right?

text;

[dangerousidol]

You wouldn't be a bother. Besides, I'm back in Goldenrod myself. There's a friend I'm meeting who just got to this world.

He's a lot more ill equipped for this than you are!

[unkinder]

...if you plan on passing through Mt. Mortar to get there, it's at least a week long trek, two if you pass through the long way. If you don't like camping, you won't want to take that route.

[grapeeater]

Oh. ... Yeah, I'll try to avoid that. I know less about surviving in mountains than I do in the woods.
