Escape

There are a million stories in the naked city...but, hey, sometimes you just want to turn a deaf ear and trundle your buns out to the nearest piece of wilderness and commune with nature for a weekend. How do you pull it off? Simple. As in other aspects of life and Shakespearean theatre, the "readiness is all." Hosts Jeff and Jay guide viewers through the various stages, from trying to finagle a couple hours off early on Friday for a good head start, to making sure you've got all the right gear, and packing out what you take in. Each of eight "keys" to a successful weekend camping trip offer specific information on various topics from "Blowing This Pop Stand" (exiting the city) to "Makin' Bacon" (home-cooked meals on the range...using a dehydrator before you go). City folk wanting to escape the metropolis' grind will find much useful information here (and even more in the accompanying guidebook), while medium-sized burgs would benefit as well. Recommended.
