A goat ate my sleeping bag! 🤦♀️
🧗It may not come of a surprise for those who know me that I like hanging from a cliff 😅 What makes this anecdote different is that, this time, to get that epic photo, I had an unexpected hidden tax for my vanity: getting my sleeping bag nibbled by a goat! Last july, after experiencing the san fermines in full length for 11 days, I needed a break from the hyper crowded streets of Pamplona 🎊 and all the high emotions that come from running from bulls 🏃♂️ 🐂 a few times and live to tell the story. So I took a weekend off to do something less intense, like standing on a ledge somewhere in the mountains... You know... something... chill 😜 I ended up hiking to this beautiful place you see on the picture. Upon my arrival I saw this goat 🐐 and snapped a picture of it 📸 all while thinking 💭 "I definitely want a picture sitting there" Little did I know I was taking a picture of the future culprit 😈 Goats do eat everything. I was alone and and didn't have a tripod (it had been stomped and broke days before 😔) So I had to get creative. I placed my backpack 🎒 in the floor to the appropriate height for a good frame and put my sleeping bag on top of it to support and hold my phone in the right position 🖼️ then I went to sit face the abyss and use the Bluetooth remote to get some shoots. ⏱️ In a matter of seconds sneaky goat that had been lurking nearby 🥷, reappeared and took interest on my belongings and decided it wanted a taste of my gear. 👅 I was relatively far I try to use the only rock I could find next to me to deter it, 🪨 but apparently my sleep system was delicious and the animal didn't not budge at all, 🎯 despite a surprising good throw. 🤨 Then I rushed as quickly as I could, ⚡ considering that I couldn't just be careless about my footing or I would fall off to the precipice ⚠️ By the time I got to chase the glutton away, the damage was done. 😬 There were two big holes on it. 🕳️Fortunately, the sleeping bag is synthetic and not down, so no bigger feathery mess at least. 👍
