I don’t understand why people are leaving their tents? It’s like 5 minutes to break down and a decent tent isn’t cheap?!?

Cause they’re either crap tents, or the kids who had them pissed in them etc, or the kids who own them are coming down into the worst Gary depression they’ve had in their life

Jerry/Gary are terms used in a number of subcultures to refer to tourists within the subculture. Like folks that do your hobby once or twice a year, don’t have planning or gear or whatever to really hack it. That’s my best guess. So in this instance I think he is referring to folks who can’t handle their drugs or at least the comedown without being asses. It’s a right of passage, I remember doing similarly stupid stuff before you can handle being on acid for 3 days straight.
