Camper Boy in Alaska Couldn’t Set a Tent Up. His Father Came to the Rescue and Won TikTok Over: ‘I’d Rather Be Cold and Miserable With You’

Outdoor Tom goes on solo camping trip to Alaska. His dad coming to his rescue won social media over.

Tom, who was independently camping in the wilderness of Alaska, reached a hitch when he tried and failed to set his tent up. Realizing he couldn’t do it, he finally asked his father, Luke, to help him out—his father’s response won the hearts of social media users.
