In an effort to give a tech-savvy, camping-inexperienced team a taste of the great outdoors, Jack leads a camping trip that quickly devolves into a clash of philosophies between survival skills and leisure. Despite initial resistance and dependence on modern conveniences like phones, the group faces the challenges of outdoor living. Brooke's surprise appearance with a party pack stirs conflict but eventually contributes to a learning experience.
