First Destination: Special Camping Forest

1810 Words
They had been moving for four hours and it means that it had been four hours for Max to drive the big campervan through various types of roads. "Aren't you tired, Max?" Stevan rose from the back seat and walked to the front seat. His back aches. He walked away from Risa and Cliff who were fast asleep, although he had to keep his head down while walking, but it was better than getting stiff in the back. "No. Risa has explained that I like activities like this, right? ” Stevan nodded even though Max didn't look at him. “Max had ever drove for two days without a long sleep. He once climbed and explored a mountain for a week with only one sleeping bag as his thing.” Max laughed a bit at Will's explanation, "I once stroked the back of a tiger and touched the shark's fin. That's huge is my love to nature and that much I have explored it. But I still want to continue to trace it. So, following Risa seems like a good opportunity to do some new things." "Indeed a true nature lover," said Stevan, “It must have been a long time you started exploring." Max shrugged, "My father is a nature lover too. Even my mother too. Maybe you could say I have been adventuring since I was in the womb." "He will leave his school for a few weeks if there is a trip by his parents that he really wants too."  Will shook his head, "Luckily he graduated well." Will remembered something, "You're still in school too, aren't you?" Cliff nodded, "I hope your school is fine." The man chuckled. "No problem, I guess. I only need to find another school if I get expelled. No need to worry that it is only a matter of formal education. I’m already going and now I’ll just enjoy it.” Max and Will looked each other in amazement. A second later Will clapped his hands, "I think I'll like you. We will be a good partner. " "Really?" Stevan smiled slightly. "Get ready. Wake up the two people in backseat! We will be there in about 15 minutes.”  Max stepped on the gas pedal deeper to go faster.  ★★★ "We arrived!" Risa didn't look like she just woke up when she came down from the campervan that had just arrived in a special camping forest. "We will be here for three days. This is the beginning so that you can be little bit more familiar with nature. There are still bathrooms and water taps here. " "How did you find this place?" Cliff breathes as much oxygen. "Really fresh." He continued, "If this is a special camping forest, why isn't anyone else camping here?" "It's a working day, little boy. Who camps on productive days, besides slackers like you.” Will answered Cliff's question, "You come with us too and don't call me little boy!” "He's right," Max casually leaned against one of the trees. "One more addition, the manager of this special camping forest is still my close acquaintance. So he is willing to clear this location for us. But I don't think it is necessary to empty it, back to Will's words, nobody camps on a day like this." Risa looks far from the campervan. The girl with her small steps walking around the area. She can see toilets that are not fancy, but clean. She can also see a small wooden house that Risa feels is where the special camping forest managers lives. There are several water taps in front of the small house. "Risa! We will make a fire and build a tent now!” Stevan's shouts made Risa turn around and jog towards the campervan. A little far away, and in a place more open than the scope of the tree, the four men seemed to sit around the broken branches of wood. Beside the broken woods were wooden blocks, "Now look, this is a way to make a fire during the day." Max uses a magnifying glass and makes sure the focus point of sunlight under the magnifying glass hits the branch. “Because the weather here is not that hot and the sunlight's not really stinging, so we will use some other assistance to make it faster." "Fill this with water."  Max rules Cliff. The 18-year-old man obeyed and went looking for a water tap. "You hold it so that this hot spot stays in place." Stevan holds a magnifying glass to replace Max. “You rub these two branches quickly Will! " Will accepted two branches as thick as his fingers and scrubbed them quickly. A moment later Cliff returned with a clear plastic bag filled with water, "Here." "We hold the water by grasping the inlet and, Will, place the branch next to the branch heated by Stevan." After putting it down, Max said again, "You hold this and make sure the reflection of the clear plastic light is under the twigs." Risa excitedly accepts the plastic bag from Max's hand and carries out the man's orders. "Now we are just waiting." 20 minutes they had been waiting, and suddenly the smoke that had come out constantly turned into a small fire. Max quickly grabbed the fire and blew it in his hand, and when the fire grew, he laid it on the wood that had been neatly prepared to form a furnace. "Woah!" Risa claps her hands when she sees the flames expand, "That's great." Max just smiled, "If the sun is brighter, we can form a fire faster." "It's still afternoon.  We can build tent calmly and assemble equipment such as cloth chairs, cooking tables, dining tables, and others. After that we will prepare dinner. Once again, for the beginning I had bought raw materials that can be just cooked easily. Even though we also have some instant food, we will only use it during emergency situation. Agree?" The four nodded like a student listening to and obeying the words of their teacher. "Alright, now let's take out the tent and make a simple-raft equipment." "Ay, ay, Captain!"  Risa punch the sky with her fist, showing enthusiasm.  ★★★ "It's really supposed to be like this?" Stevan scratched his head in confusion. “I think no.” He is assembling a table for cooking from lightweight iron. He take turns looking at the instruction sheet and the raft iron parts. He doesn't understand where the error is so that every part just didan't arrange right. "Tsk! It shows out that I'm very bad at things like this.” "What are you doing? Why talking to yourself? " Cliff appeared from behind him. "You don't need to care about me. Just mind your own work. " Cliff pointed at the perfectly assembled dining table and some cloth chairs, "I'm done." said Cliff casually. "Why haven't you finished it? This is only one thing. I've done six others." "I don't understand the instruction ! Are you satisfied now? Want to joking about me?" Cliff laughed in satisfaction and sat down in front of Stevan. "Let me. You only have to read the instructions provided in the sheet, and following the steps. Why do you find it's that hard?” Stevan chuckled once again, "Looks like I do have a problem reading and doing instructions." Less than 20 minutes later, the cooking table stood firmly. The table is not really big, only has Stevan's waist height and about 80 cm long, but still wide enough if it's only for cooking. Stevan can see Zac and Will working with Risa to build a tent. The tent was big enough, but it doesn't look like it will be fit for all them five. "Isn't the tent a little bit narrow if all five of us sleeping in it?" Stevan said to Cliff who was standing beside him looking in the same direction. "You right! Let's ask them then!" Stevan sighed, Cliff doesn't have any hesitation to ask everything and answer his curiosity quickly. "Hey Risa! Your childhood friend asks, if the tent can fits us five sleeping together in it?" "WHY ARE YOU BRINGING MY NAME?!" Stevan shouted. “Indeed you are the one asking." Cliff answered while shrugging his shoulder, "So?" Cliff turned his head to Risa again, need an answer. "Are you stupid or are you living too far from nature, huh?" Will shook his head while putting the hood of the tent together with Max. Risa claps her hands so that both her hand clean from the dust and then touches the campervan's side body with one of her hand, "You know why we use a campervan, not an ordinary car?" Risa asked sarcastically. "You know campervan is used specifically for camping, right?" Cliff and Stevan nodding at the same time. "Then do you know that most campervans are equipped with beds in them?" Risa can see the two people before her laughing bitterly. Really slow thinker. Why does Risa have to know people like them? "Let me show you!" said Risa while opening the side door of the campervan. Cliff and Stevan just follow the girl into the vehicle. "There's a bed up there. There is a ladder in the box and we can use it to go up there." Risa pointed right at the top of her head when they had just entered the campervan. "Then this seat," Risa showed the seat facing the table in the middle that had been used as a backseat. "This bench can be turned into a bed, but we will do it later because we have to clean all the things on the chair and table first." Risa walked through the sink, mini fridge, food storage shelves, and toilet in the campervan, "We kept our backpack here, didn't we?" Risa touched a cupboard next to the toilet, then opened it. "If we move this wooden barrier," Risa shifted the wood where they put their backpacks slightly, "Look, there's a bed and a bedcover." After said that, Risa close the sliding wood as before. "So there are three beds in here," Risa moved out from the campervan. They can see that tent is just built perfectly, "Only two people need to sleep in the tent." The girl finished her conversation. "How did you know this about the campervan?" Stevan really asked the question himself this time, "I think besides your Idol life, I know a lot of things about you and never knew that you were really close to any kind of camping equipment like this." Risa giving a small snort, "You do know a lot of things besides my Idol life.  But most of my life is my Idol life now. So you,” The girl create circles with her finger, pointing at Stevan. "You did… knew many things about me. But now you seems like doesn’t really know about my things." Stevan suddenly feels uneasy to hear that, "Just answer my initial question!" "I've got information about the campervan that we will use from Max." The girl answered casually and just walked away, passing them and step back in to the campervan, "Alright. What should we eat tonight?" The girl humming while checking the storage shelves and refrigerator. ★★★
