The narrator recounts his journey to live a primitive life in a cave, inspired by a man in New Zealand who lived in a cave during the pandemic. Despite his initial hesitation due to weakness, allergies, and fear of bugs, he decides to embark on this adventure with his friend Nabil. After searching for a suitable cave, they find one in the north of Jordan and move into it. However, they soon encounter numerous bugs, despite their attempts to use an insecticide created from trees and dirt. They also face various challenges, including the difficulty of lighting a fire, and the presence of spiders, which they both have arachnophobia. Their attempts to live a completely primitive life are further complicated by unexpected interruptions and the realization that the cave is not a suitable living space. They eventually decide to live outside the cave instead, and spend an all-night activity session there. The next day, they decide to leave the cave and pack up their belongings. The narrator concludes his story by stating that the cave is scary and that this experience has taught him to appreciate modern conveniences.
