Night in the woods

So my story begins on Sunday at 7 am. Now I’ve never been camping before (let alone hiking) and I was excited to experience something new. So my buddy calls me to pick me up at 6:30 and tells me we are going to be going to Myakka state park. Now I’ve only been to Myakka one time before for a few miles in, and was fairly confident in my ability to brave the wilderness, (me being an athletic individual and all) but little did I know that I was about endure a night of terror I have never dealt with in my life. Now my buddy is a pretty enthused wilderness expert right, he shows up to my house with a bag filled with supplies to last us the next 5 days all the way down to flint and steel for a Firepit. We only planned to be out for 2 days, (safe to say we were overly prepared) we only stayed for one night however.
