comment on narrator view of camping out in this chapter what does it reveal about his character

J. still believes that he suffers from every disease, but he is especially concerned about his ‘liver condition’ – the main symptom of which is “a general disinclination to work of any kind” (10). The friends decide that taking a vacation together would restore their health, and debate locations for a week-long excursion. J generally likes the idea of the outdoors although he has no clue how to camp and what might be in store for them.
