Ashley: Hey

Ashley: I had a really good festival tip. I don’t know if this will put every festival but I…I had 300 feet of extension cord and a space heater and I dragged that through the woods into my tent and I will say that I was safety oriented. I wrapped the extension cord around a tree that was right by my tent so in case someone did trip on the cord in the middle of the night, it would just yank on the tree and not on my heater and therefore burn me down to the ground. So

Reid: Got it.

Ashley: I was…I would warm and toasting.

Reid: So, so they would fall they would fall on the woods while you just

Ashley: Well, I also…I also put the cord underneath rocks and branches and I you know
