My sourdough flopped hard during a cabin getaway

I went on a weekend trip to a friend's cabin and brought my sourdough starter. Figured I could whip up a loaf like I do at home. But the kitchen had this tiny, uneven oven I wasn't used to. The dough overproofed in the warm cabin air and then baked into a weird, lopsided brick. It was a definite fail, but we still ate it with lots of butter. Have you ever tried baking in a totally different kitchen while traveling? How did it go?
