Default What to do at Night?

When you are finished with your daily trek, or other activities, what do you do? How do you pass the night time or evening hours before it is time to settle down to sleep?

Usually sit by the fire telling stories, jokes or playing games.

In a group, we usually sit around the campfire telling stories or singing with someone playing guitar. We usually sleep late as we want to enjoy the great time as long as possible.

We usually have real conversations around the campfire. Kids will tell you stuff that they wouldn't ordinarily tell you. Like how school really was, how that funny thing happened to them or a friend. Stuff like that. Usually don't stay up too late depends, like to get up early before it gets too hot.

Telling stories by the campfire is a way we pass the time too. We also play disco frisbee in the dark (the frisbee lights up). We also play cards by the campfire.

Telling stories and playing guitar around the fire are some of our favorite activities. Sometimes we will just gaze at the stars and talk.

My wife and I just sit by the fire, look at the stars and talk until we can't stay awake.

I love to hear the tales that people will tell when they get settled down. There is a lot of time to think and to talk. It's nice to be able to do that without distractions. You can also read if you've brought along a good book.

I like to sit around the fire and just chill. I am usually the last one to bed. I like to listen to the silence. The only thing that can usually be heard is the slight breeze, the river flowing and the crackling of the fire.

Right after we eat, we usually clear off a space and the play a few games. Once the games are done, we head over to the fire and just hang out and enjoy nature.
