  I played chicken and got into the cabin of a truck (with 3 others, it was very cramped). The main issue was getting our tents packed up in the pitch blackness with a towel wrapped around your head your eyes only open for split moments to see where you were! We actually lost a lot of stuff, like some sleeping bags in the process!
