That's a pretty sweet setup you've got there. I reckon if I had to be stranded in the outback with anyone, it would be someone like you who knows what can kill ya, and how to survive the rigors of harsh environments lol. The solar panels provide a bit more comfort/convenience I imagine.
The Tiegear system would be a great addition to your gear, even considering the cost. Nothing is too costly when you are safeguarding your safety and wellbeing. Good looking guy (rope)!
I have a different and more comfortable set up (I have posted about it) and a much more basic set up (my swag) and use the appropriate thing for each situation. Back in the day it was very basic though and I used to get my stuff cheaply, often second hand, as I was not able to afford all the good stuff. Now, I'm able to get what I need from my $100,000 caravan, all the way down to my canvas swag which cost me $420. The most important thing is to be out there living life.
As for being stranded, that's never a nice feeling but for sure it helps to know a thing or two and I've managed to pick up some handy skills that keep me on the right track.
Skills and knowledge are so underrated. We camped all the time when I was a child, but the first time camping as a young adult, anything I had absorbed as a child flew out the window. Foodstuffs stored in a separate tent were ravaged by raccoons and the morning left us hungry, but with a bejewelled campsite that I've laughed about many times since. There was bacon hanging from tree branches, egg shells littered the ground, bread wrappers and various other foods ripped open or missing completely. We had to go to town to purchase more food and stayed up that night to catch a glimpse of the marauders. It was a sow with three kits but they left empty handed that night...lesson learned
Hey darlin', I hope you're well. Just checking in to wish you a good weekend.
Am well, thank you! I appreciate the good weekend wishes..and extend the same to you, even if it's only a twofer and not a threefer lol :-)
Fucken twosomes feel a little disappointing after a threesome weekend but I'll take it, Saturday and Sunday together are a thing of beauty. Hot as fuck here though. 40+ (Celsius)
Oh that's damned hot lol. We got a small warm up here the last couple of days. It has been cool for an extended period, which was a welcome relief. Those threesomes come around so infrequently, something should really be done about that.
I know right? Threesomes every weekend would be good but then, when we get used to them nothing short of a foursome would suit. Dang it.
Hotting up for you too, but a little warmth in winter is ok I guess although I don't suppose Floridian winters are all that cold.
Hmm, not a great experience. We don't have racoons but other critters like possums that do the same which means measures need to be taken. We also have dingoes that can (if hungry enough) get a little interested in camp sites. I'm pretty well prepared for such things though.
