Robbo.
Methinks I was a bit over the top with my comments to you, I do tend to get a fraction touchy about such things.
I have expressed my feelings about those "sorbent" flowers blowing about the countryside and my pet hate - disposable nappies (grenades) left just where your dog can pick one up.
I never let my dog out of the truck until I have checked around for suchlike (even then she is on a rope).
So no hard feelings, sorry from this end and see you out there.
cheers mikel

I understand mate, nothing worse.
One of my pet hates is people taking stubbies (and other glass drink bottles) camping. I dont mind a beer myself but always take tinnies bush with me. It may not happen everytime, but what eventually happens.....glass breaks, and I have been the silly mug who finds the broken glass in my foot (havent been able to bend the big toe on my right foot since a teenager due to glass cut).
Thats my little whinge anyway.
Maybe we should start a whinge post called "You know what I really don't like?" I reckon one of the first would be peanut butter with oil on top. Grin

May your glass be ever full.
May the roof over your head be always strong.
And may you be in heaven

Getting back to the topic Wink

We have a self erecting style tent with a Coleman hot water on demand unit.
I don't find packing it away very difficult to pack away.. anout 15 seconds from scratch.

A little over the top for bush camping, I hear people say..
It makes my dearest wife happy to travel/camp in the bush with me.
So what pleases her.. makes me happy too.

That's no suck up either.. Grin

Hi Aart,

My husband has no patience at all, so it my job to pack that sort of thing up.

Have to tell you I hated fighting with it, so I gave it away.

Cheers
Kate

Hi All,

Managed to get a Oztrail Mega Shower Tent Ensuite, when I got home and looked at the receipt the person that sold it too me undercharged me by $50.

Paid $149 when it should have been $199, Anaconda have them for $250 but will match and bet by 10%.

I told my husband and asked him if I should go back and tell them he asked me if I had rocks in my head as it is 1 1/2 round trip with the cost of petrol and using my time, he said why don't you just give them an extra $100 for their error.

So it looks like I have had a win, they charged me for the blue Oztrail double ensuite.

I'm Happy.

Cheers

I was given one of these shower tents a while ago, and you know I cannot believe that it was a golden colour.
Does that mean I have a Golden Shower Tent????????????????????? Shocked

I'm not game to use it in the public eye!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cheesy

Took my 3 sons (2 x gen X + 1 x gen Y) up to Harry's Hut last April. Being the Q I had the foresight to bring a solar shower for each of us. After a few days realised I was the only one showering on a daily basis. Had to threaten to stop cooking before they started using the showers.

I tell you, sitting in a Canadian canoe for a couple of hours with a malodorous son can induce dry retching (yeah I know, I should harden up).

Anyhoo, I really enjoyed reading the posts in this thread - you're a nice bunch.

Just because I have a short attention span doesn't mean I
