Title: Camping
Post by: Bombadil on June 06, 2014, 10:44:52 PM
Next week I will be camping when it's time to have my T shot. It's car camping, not backpacking, so I think it's pretty manageable but does anyone have any tips?

I figure the only private space to do it will be in my tent.

I've done it in front of people, no biggy. Hormone imbalance is rather common.

I keep my supplies in a small Pelican case, which is waterproof and fairly thick, so they're protected from damp and from rapid temperature changes. (Just don't leave your stuff in a hot car!) That way everything is packed and ready if I'm going to the lake or on a camping trip.

As far as privacy goes, do what you're comfortable with. Since you're car camping, I'd think the car would also be pretty private, and maybe easier than doing it in a tent.

Don't leave your T in the car. Most medications degrade pretty quickly in the heat.

ok. that helps.

I'm still new at all this. And yeah, I'm kind of private so I'd rather not do my shot in front of other people. So, I have a little shaving kit, I can move it into there for now. Don't keep it in the car, maybe bring some extra alcohol swabs for keeping things set and I'll be good.

actually, I'm nervous as crap about this trip but at least the T will be covered and I get to increase my dose which is totally cool
