All things camping/hiking/outdoor survival

BTW Vango do a similarly bizarre tent for motorcyclists with its own wee "garage".

And yes Allein, go for the full Admiral's cap. %)
 
I think my next paycheck will be spent procuring a tent and a swiss army knife. And other camping things (suggestions? D:) I could totally camp out by myself!

We rented a large camper van last year, I've always fancied owning one but have no where to put it and I'm not convinced it would be economically viable.....and refuse to even consider the caravan. It wasnt cheap but then your renting your accommodation as well as transport, we really enjoyed it. We prebooked pitches and they were only about £20-£30 a night with power hookup and the place we gt it from was close enough to the house that I picked it up and loaded out stuff from the house.

I looked at canal barges this year but when I investigated the broads it looked better for the kids as there is more to do and you;re not as restricted with your route, the boats are (obviously) much wider and the one we have booked is a good size and well kitted out, I took some advice on the type as I've little boating experience, this one steers from up from much like a car, like the camper Mrs A would rather not grapple with such things ( although she would and could if she had to ) whereas I can't wait to take up the Catains seat.

Neither the boat or the camper are really camping as such but the experience is similar, might even borrow some fishing gear from my fathers extensive collection and do a bit of float fishing with the kids, I've already promised my 7 year old he can have a go at steering.......what could possibly go wrong :D
 
I took acid in Epping Forest yesterday - had such a blast! Walked around for hours taking everything in, then stumbled upon a swing which provided entertainment for quite some time...

I've learned my lesson however, and next time won't wear my work clothes / shoes...it was my first time tripping in the woods, can't recommend it highly enough. :)
 
I've always wanted to do this, but worry about being far away from home if things start getting hairy (and with this mindset, there's a fair chance they will). Reckon I'll give it a try one day with a 'sober sitter', though.
 
I remember taking acid at Glastonbury in 1992. Peaked while watching the Levellers singing a song about being the Levellers. A bit later, wandering around with a glowstick, I noticed moving spots of the same colour glowing stuff, which it took me awhile to realise were fireflies (which make the same chemicals naturally as were used in first generation green glow sticks) and not an effect of the trip. Then thinking I was sweating pure LSD out of every one of my pores. Finally began coming down, sitting on a hillside, drinking fresh, raw unpasteurised milk (only available in Somerset?), from cow to cooler to carton as 'twere.

Nice one Neu! Were you alone? I much prefer tripping by myself, no one else to worry about, or worry that they're worrying about me...

I wasn't alone, but I usually am when tripping for the reasons you mentioned being a complete pain in previous trips.

We kept the dose reasonably low - one tab each, very faint visuals and mainly just pissing ourselves :)

I reckon it could've easily gone into mass confusion if we'd done a larger dose!
 
^ That's why I PM'd Scotsman. ;) Great advice.

We have a tarpaulin/shelter we bought from Lidl, which cost about £17 a couple of years ago. If you're able to carry it, then I would agree with Scotsman & FUBAR that a shelter of some sort is a great thing to have.

Tie it to trees and/or use the poles it came with. If you're in a wee tent, having an additional shelter can make the difference between having a miserable wet time, or having a great time.
 
Camping food: beans, soup, bacon, sausages, loads of crusty bread and a big fuckoff lump of cheese. There's nothing like cutting slices of cheese with your hunting knife and tearing the bread straight off the loaf with your teeth. Or dunking the bread into a pan of oxtail soup. Oh, and Kendal mint cake for when out and about.

Also potatoes - wrap in foil and throw into the fire to bake. Fuckin lush...

Was just pondering this Monsieur Fu. Hot food is as important as good gear to keep you warm at night. Once the sun goes down and the temperature drops the ground fair puts out COLD. Getting something hot in your tummy before falling asleep really helps to keep you warm during the night. This is where cupasoups and hot choc, horlicks etc sachets come in handy and hardly take up any room in the packing.

Socks - now have you discussed socks yet?
 
Here's a pic of wee wild camp out *cough*party in the woods with an old 2 man and tarp cover. And yes the fire was a safe distance away. Though I will admit to lugging in dry kindle as it was a wet damp weekend in southern Scotland. We had some visitors later in the evening - 2 nice chaps out hunting (absolutely shat myself when I seen them walking up to us) who visited us around the wee fire who brought nearly half a tree in logs 8) along with some drinks. A great night was had by all =D

Edit: btw incase you all think I slum it camping I don't :p My other set up is mucho-plusho ;)
 
Ya gotta slum it when camping, otherwise it feels like cheating :)

But socks, yeh good thick knee length socks are a must. My preference are the commando socks that places like Millets sell. They have cushioned soles and are bloody hard wearing.
