## Synopsis

**Teletoon**: *The Ninja, the Mane Six, Megan, the Shintaro Crystal Guardians, Linette and Maylia head for the Great Outdoors to get their Trail Trotters Camping Badge, forcing Rarity to step outside her comfort zone.*

## Plot

The Ninja, the Mane Six, Megan, the Shintaro Crystal Guardians, Linette and Maylia go on a camping trip in order to earn their Trail Trotters Camping Badge. Rarity, expecting to go "glamping" with her mattress and bathtub from home, forgot her equipment at home, and she is forced to go camping the usual way. Linette and Maylia told her that before earning our Camping Badge, there were 6 people in the former Trail Trotters, and also they did not get their camping badge after that. On the campsite, Rarity falls into a river, and once the campsite is set up, she is unable to start a campfire, without Kai's assistance.

Rarity feels she is not meant for camping, but the rest of the Mane Six, the Ninja, Megan, the Shintaro Quartet, and former troopers Linette and Maylia, commend her for at least making an effort to go camping with them and getting out of her comfort zone for once. With her friends' support, Rarity successfully starts a campfire. That night, Rarity gazes at the stars and starts to appreciate the joys of camping.

## Trivia

* **Narrator**: Applejack
* This episode was first broadcast in Turkey on Cartoon Network on July 4, 2020, the same day where "Two of a Kind" and "Sun-Crossed" aired in Canada.
* Along with "Campfire Stories", it is the twelfth episode of the Master of the Mountain arc that began in "Uncharted".
* The title is a reference to the 1777 folk song/nursery rhyme "A-Hunting We Will Go".
* This episode resembles a plot from *Sailor Moon Sailor Stars* episode, "The Screaming Dead: Terror of the Camp Monster", where the five girls and Chibi Chibi were having a campout with the Three Lights.
	+ Unlike this episode, there is no monster, but a Bighoof appeared at the end.
* Applejack's "I don't know but I've been told" song is in the style of U.S. military sound-offs.
* It is revealed that the Lowly are formerly the Trail Trotters troop, consist of Fungus, Plundar, Korgran, Linette, Maylia and Bubbles.
	+ After the disappearance of Fungus, Plundar and Korgran under the Shintaro Mountain, and Bubbles flying an unknown location, Linette and Maylia were unable to be the Trail Trotters troopers since their memories of being a trooper are erased.
* Lloyd have bought s'mores at the end of the episode, marking the third time it was used in the series, since "Road Tripping" and "The Belly of the Beast".
* The constellation that Rarity saw at the end of the episode is a Equuleus, which was once named in Latin for "little horse", a foal.
* Without Kai's assistance, Rarity can light up the campfire.
	+ In contrast, Kai can light up the campfire, but according to Applejack, Elemental Powers aren't allowed for camping, unless if there is an emergency.
* Rarity had finally stepped out of the comfort zone in this episode, as she decided to stick with her friends while at the campsite.
* The Bighoof from "Bighoof Walking" appeared at the very end of the episode, thus breaking the fourth wall when he breaks the camera.
	+ This is the second time in the series where a fourth wall is broken, the first is "Princess Probz".
