We’ve all had those nights on camping trips. The wind picks up outside and all the sudden you’re “sleeping” in a wind tunnel. Except you’re not sleeping. You’re wide awake, wondering if your tent is about to give up and disintegrate or fly off into the unknown. In the calmer moments, you’re wondering when—if?—the wind will die down enough for you to nod off.

A recent viral video from a trip to the Blue Mountains in Australia shows a first-person view of what an extremely windy night was like for one camper who was holed up in a $14 tent. Needless to say, he didn’t sleep a wink.
In the video, the walls of the tent shake violently. Some commenters note that the tent’s vents look like an angry face. Since he wasn’t sleeping, the man in the tent decided to record the moment and make light of it, giving a sarcastic thumbs up and overlaying text that says, “A good night’s sleep.”
