It is after the defeat of Kuvira and her Earth Empire army. It is after Korra and Asami's little getaway to the spirit world. The gang (Korra, Asami, Mako, and Bolin) decide to go on a camping trip; they all need to reconnect after all of that chaos. Bolin asks them if it is okay if Opal comes along and they concede, but they all draw the line when Wu begs to come with them. They tell him that there will be no bathrooms in the wild and that they will not save him if a savage beasts should attack him because he will. This convinces the former prince of the Earth kingdom to relent. He is disgusted by their idea of fun and he decides to go to the spa to scrub away those yucky camping thoughts.
Just when Wu turns his back, the gang plus Opal jump into the new tricked out SUV, which is the latest creation from Future Industries. Asami decides to take this all-terrain vehicle for a test drive and what better way to test it out than to go into the mountains?
They drive about two hours northeast from Republic City. They drive smoothly into the mountains. Everyone is impressed with how well the vehicle is performing, but no one is more pleased than Asami. Now she knows that they could mass produce these vehicles, which means more business.
They find a nice spot overlooking a cliff. Korra and Bolin quickly build a humongous tent made of rock. Then the quintet hikes down the cliff to collect firewood and water. It is sunset when they get everything ready and they are famished.
They take out the food that they had packed and Mako lights a beaufitul fire. They cook the food and eat hungrily. They joke. They tells scary stories. They tease each other. They make jokes about Wu. Asami and Korra entertain the trio with a recollection of their spirit filled trip. The quintet chat until the night becomes so freezing that the only thing that could warm them up is their sleeping bags.
After all the hard work, the girls all fall asleep lightning quick. It is the boys who take a couple of extra minutes to fall asleep. Thoughts races through Mako's mind. He wonders how annoying Wu will be when they come back. He is afraid that Beifong is going to be super angry at him for taking a vacation. He is also preoccupied with the situation concerning Asami and Korra. 'Are they an item?' he speculates.
Bolin, on the other hand, dozes off after he sees a shooting star. He wonders how awesome would it be to have different bending abilities.
