I don't really understand why he's doing it.
I've seen people do it with no chance to opt out.
They came with clothes and a small pack with a bedroll.

Will he sleep in a windstorm the way that guy did the first night?
When I found him in the lee of the tent, I told him he could have knocked and come in.
He said he just needed a windbreak.
And that was a rough night in 2005.


Throw some water on him and tell him to come up with a new idea.
It doesn't count anyway if he can quit.

It would be a shame if I had to resort to self-deception to preserve my faith in objective reality.
