- 8:00important.
- 8:01It's

- 8:01of
- 8:01the

- 8:04level
- 8:05of

- 8:07So,
- 8:07for
- 8:07example,
- 8:08we've
- 8:09seen
- 8:09this
- 8:10huge
- 8:10increase
- 8:11in
- 8:11people
- 8:11who

- 8:13using
- 8:13the
- 8:13new
- 8:13way
- 8:14of
- 8:14referring
- 8:14to
- 8:14car
- 8:14camping,
- 8:15which
- 8:15is
- 8:15people
- 8:16who
- 8:16sleep
- 8:17and
- 8:17stay
- 8:17in
- 8:17their
- 8:17cars.
- 8:19That
- 8:20part
- 8:20of
- 8:21the
- 8:21industry
- 8:21is
- 8:22taking
- 8:22off.
- 8:23And
- 8:23it's

- 8:26but
- 8:26the
- 8:26products
- 8:27as
- 8:27well,
- 8:27which
- 8:27I
- 8:27think
- 8:28are
- 8:28very
- 8:28important.
- 8:29Because,
- 8:29for
- 8:29example,
- 8:29a

- 8:30of
- 8:30campgrounds
- 8:30won't
- 8:31accept
- 8:31people

- 8:33Yeah.
- 8:34Because
- 8:34there's
- 8:34a
- 8:34stereotypical
- 8:35adage
- 8:36of
- 8:36like
- 8:36a
- 8:36trailer
- 8:37park.
- 8:37Right.
- 8:37It's
- 8:37not.
- 8:38It's
- 8:39just.
- 8:39It's
- 8:39not
- 8:39what

- 8:40But
- 8:41they

- 8:46a
- 8:46way
- 8:47to
- 8:47compromise
- 8:47with
- 8:47these
- 8:47folks?
- 8:48Are
- 8:48these
- 8:48folks
- 8:49improvising?
- 8:50But
- 8:51the
- 8:51industry
- 8:52itself
- 8:52is
- 8:52responding
- 8:53a
- 8:53little
- 8:53bit
- 8:53with
- 8:54more
- 8:54of
- 8:54the
- 8:55products.
- 8:55The.
- 8:55The
- 8:55tents
- 8:57that.
- 8:57That
- 8:58can
- 8:58attach

- 9:04around
- 9:04for
- 9:04a
- 9:04little
- 9:05while
- 9:05anyway,
- 9:06but
- 9:06also
- 9:06the
- 9:06ones
- 9:06that
- 9:07go
- 9:07out
- 9:07the.
- 9:07Like
- 9:07the
- 9:07back,

- 9:13they
- 9:14attach
- 9:14it
- 9:14to
- 9:14the

- 36:33that's
- 36:34going
- 36:34to
- 36:34rattle
- 36:35around

- 36:37you
- 36:37up
- 36:37and
- 36:37go,
- 36:38I
- 36:38think
- 36:38I
- 36:38have
- 36:38a
- 36:38better
- 36:38answer
- 36:39for
- 36:39you.
- 36:39But
- 36:40what
- 36:40I
- 36:41see
- 36:41consistently
- 36:43that
- 36:43sets
- 36:44my
- 36:46are
- 36:47more
- 36:47successful
- 36:48members
- 36:48up,
- 36:49regardless
- 36:49of
- 36:49what
- 36:50segment
- 36:50is.
- 36:51It's
- 36:52that
- 36:52intangible
- 36:55that
- 36:55it's
- 36:56that
- 36:56experience,
- 36:57that
- 36:57moment,
- 36:57that
- 36:58hospitality
- 36:58that
- 36:59occurs
- 36:59between
- 37:00the
- 37:02employee,
- 37:03the

- 37:03and
- 37:04the
- 37:04guest.
- 37:04What
- 37:04is.
- 37:05And
- 37:05so
- 37:05it's
- 37:05those
- 37:06personal
- 37:06touches
- 37:07that
- 37:07we're
- 37:08seeing.
- 37:08So
- 37:08I'm
- 37:09thinking
- 37:09of
- 37:09a
- 37:10resort
- 37:10owner
- 37:12who
- 37:13owns
- 37:13several
- 37:13properties
- 37:14along
- 37:14our
- 37:14North
- 37:15Shore.
- 37:16And
- 37:16the
- 37:17training
- 37:18that
- 37:18they
- 37:18put
- 37:19their
- 37:19employees
- 37:19through
- 37:20and
- 37:20the
- 37:21mindset
- 37:22and
- 37:22the
- 37:22expectation
- 37:23of
- 37:23interaction
- 37:24at
- 37:24all
- 37:25times.
- 37:25You
- 37:25know,
- 37:27they
- 37:27base
- 37:28it
- 37:28off
- 37:28that
- 37:28book,
- 37:28hospitality
- 37:29from
- 37:29the
- 37:29heart.
- 37:31And
- 37:32all
- 37:32of
- 37:32their
- 37:32employees
- 37:33are
- 37:33trained
- 37:34every
- 37:34guest
- 37:34interaction
- 37:35and
- 37:36they're
- 37:36doing
- 37:36really
- 37:37well.
- 37:37And
- 37:37they're.
- 37:38No,
- 37:38they
- 37:38don't
- 37:39have
- 37:39more
- 37:39amenities,
- 37:40better
- 37:40amenities
- 37:41than
- 37:41any
- 37:41other
- 37:42resort
- 37:43on
- 37:43the
- 37:43North
- 37:43Shore.
- 37:44They're
- 37:45all
- 37:45comparable,
- 37:45right?
- 37:46But
- 37:46it
- 37:46truly
- 37:47is
- 37:47that
- 37:48moment,
- 37:48that
- 37:48interaction,
- 37:49that
- 37:50emotional
- 37:53response
- 37:53that
- 37:54they
- 37:54get
- 37:54and
- 37:55give
- 37:55to
- 37:56their
- 37:56guests
- 37:56that
- 37:56I
- 37:57truly
- 37:57think
- 37:57sets
- 37:58them
- 37:58apart.
- 37:58And
- 37:59as
- 37:59I
- 37:59think
- 37:59how
- 37:59I
- 38:00spend
- 38:00my
- 38:00money
- 38:00as
- 38:01a

- 38:03two
- 38:04campgrounds
- 38:05and
- 38:05they're
- 38:05exactly
- 38:06the
- 38:06same,
- 38:06or
- 38:06I
- 38:06go
- 38:06to
- 38:06two

- 38:08being
- 38:08equal,
- 38:08I'm
- 38:09gonna
- 38:09go

- 38:09I
- 38:10feel

- 38:11I'm
- 38:11gonna
- 38:11go
- 38:11where

- 38:17So
