We did some reading and read:

and

We were a little scared. We decided to shower at least every 3 days. We decided to take all kinds of things from the stupid list.
We went shopping and bought:
1 Tent
1 sleeping bag
2 hammocks
2 towels
2 sleeping pads
diverse medical supplies against diarrhea, heat shock, heat cramps, pain, wounds, etc. etc.
paper to write signs on
We went to the park and practised setting up the tent. which was easy because it's of the throw-it-in the-air-and-it-comes-down-all-ready tents. We practised putting it together, which was harder.
We practised setting up the hammocks. Which proved to be difficult mostly because of the immense amounts of dog poop in the grass.
We prepared emergency food.
We decided we would leave early on the 16th. I overslept.
