Hahaha, remember when this thread was about going camping?
Agreed, … let’s get it back on the rails …
But that’s what camping a about really for 99% of people that go isn’t it?
Go camping, and then wish you were someplace else
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.
It’s ridiculous. Of course I’m sitting here on my phone, but im here under duress and inducement…
almost every campsite has a caravan on it worth 40,000k+ they all have heating insulation, TV, microwaves etc. every single one of them comes out in the morning, lights a fire, and then boils an electric jug, uses an electric toaster and then throws some wood in the fire, then wanders off with the rest of us left to suck in the ‘fresh mountain smoke’.
I reckon nhalf the people you walk past are staring at phones and iPads. Everyone’s got tvs attached to their vans to watch the nightly news.
I had to light a fire and make it look as precarious as possible just to keep the farktards off my plot and taking short cuts to the toilet block.
Camping is for the homeless
Just started packing the trailer for next week.
Already grumpy.
Going to calculate the hours x my hourly rate and see if it’d be cheaper taking the kids to Disneyland.

hahahaha…you d-head.
Just have fun.
Teach the kids to fish or something. I’d say ‘throw tomahawks’, but I reckon that’s probably not ‘on’ anymore.
Make a great big tree swing.
Make an outdoor treasure hunt.
Plenty to do!
If it’s secluded you could go naturalist for a bit. Even if it’s not secluded.

Stop being so fuggin creepy, man. We know what you’re up to.

Just send him a dickpic and be done with it. You know he’s gagging for it.
So the trailer is packed. Just like a lil game of Tetris. Put as much cooking stuff in as I can, I quite enjoy cooking something with limited resources, and free styling on the open fire.
Will head up to Carwyns and stock up on some bespoke hand crafted beers to sample while I’m away.
You know what would be awesome to take along on a camping trip, provided you had some portable solar panels to charge up devices, one of these puppies…
Kids would love it too !
Need a bit of coin though.
I reckon they should use those things to patrol surf beaches for sharks.
Members of the public with such toys would do it for the fun of it, the civic pride of it, a Hoyts pass & a ■■■■■■ BBQ probably.
Save a shitload on Heli’s etc.
You’re probably right there BD.
I don’t own one (yet), but they do appear to have a very long range, at the 1-2k price point.Certainly long enough for the purpose you are suggesting.
I’m guessing it’s something that will be employed in the near future.
Even allowing for the odd drone casualty in the ocean, it’s still a helluva lot cheaper than helicopters.
I’ve seen some incredible drone footage on YouTube in the past year.
Oh yeah I can just see it…“honey, I’m just going to take my drone to the beach with the HD 800xzoom to spot sharks…in my trench coat and sunglasses”
Nothing suspicious there 
Lol.
And people think I’m a weirdo.
Have to pack the car on Wednesday for camping and this morning I tore a muscle in my lower back whilst at the gym. Awesome.
On the plus side, the doctor gave me valium and Panadol Forte. Yay!
By ‘lower back’ do you mean buttocks?
By 'lower back' do you mean buttocks?
Get back to the camping thread!
No, I mean lower back as in the part of the spine that leaves you in constant pain and discomfort, unable to bend over, run, lift any weight, twist or generally do anything. The reward for 20 years of doing dumb things like playing sport, carrying heavy backpacks and jumping out of planes. Could be worse though I suppose, I could have been a fark Carlton supporter.
Also, you have a dirty mind, you creepy old man.
