Field camp gets described in very dramatic ways before you go, but the hardest part is usually not one huge event. It is the accumulation of small discomforts.

You are sweaty, damp, tired, sleeping badly, carrying more than you want, and suddenly every simple task feels three times more irritating than it would in camp. That is why the people who cope best are rarely the loudest or most garang. They are the ones who manage small systems well.

If you understand that early, field camp becomes a lot more survivable.
