Camping

I’ve never understood the appeal of camping.

So far as I’m concerned, it’s doing all the chores that you have to do at home, but under primitive conditions.

My wife and I camped a lot when we were first married and doing the Big Trip in Europe and couldn’t afford hotels in most countries. Enough to last a lifetime.

Finally all set up having a few beers.

Ripped the fly on the tent already…

Actually quite nice up here at the moment. Maybe I’ll enjoy the week.

Make sure you scare the crap out of the kids on least one night.

A good ‘dropbear’ story should do that.

Save it for the Swedish backpackers

Epic weather right now.

Sausage rolls for breakfast.

So many idiots feel the need to have a fire burning 24/7 even when they’re not at their camp site.

Wonder how my turf is going at home. Got the water timer and spray pattern set just right…

■■■■■■ hell.

5kg bags of ice are now 3.5kg

This is BS

It is mental. I agree.

I even whinged when my parents took us to such places as Mt Gambier and Cobram. We weren’t camping but a frog did enter our motel once, so we got the camping experience.

The closest I get to camping is backing the ute up to a river/beach and fishing.
Anything else is just absurd.

Sure, but do you do it dressed in stockings and a bra stuffed with buckwheat?

I do everything dressed like that.

Rain.

Camping at its worst.

I can’t get enough of these updates.

Tell me you’ve got a leak and you’ve misplaced the patching kit.

Well, ripped the fly on day one trying to muscle the thing up. Haven’t checked if it’s leaking though.

Took the kids into town to get away from the rain. Cost me $50 in Lego, craft materials and pixie wishing dust!

Lol … “Pixie wishing Dust” … fair dinkum?

Lol .. "Pixie wishing Dust" ... fair dinkum?

No, you can’t have any!

No, you can’t have any!

My Grand Daughter is coming down on the w/end & I just remembered that “Pixie wishing Dust” exists for free in a “Very special & secret place” … on the beach somewhere or up the road a bit, and you have to go on a Lord of the Rings type trek/adventure to find it, and dig exactly 14 purbits down, (roughly 300 mm in a pixie - human measurements conversion) & nowadays, you have an app for that on your phone …

That’s a camping experience for little girls IMV, we’re gonna have a ball, now to go pick a spot to bury some white sand & glitter.

Pixie dust is just the same as fairy dust, dragon dust and some other thing they are selling down at the local enchanted forest shop. It’s just some brightly coloured sand and glitter in a tiny little glass jar, comes with a tiny pendant, a poem and maybe a scroll if you’re lucky!!

It’s all fun and games for the kids…until i go to pay and notice the proprietor is wearing a purple ‘three wolf and moon shirt’ has a dream catcher for an earring and his partner is wearing a pink fairy and mountain shirt. Maybe the magic is real?
