Camping in May

[Maia]

I'm planning to go camping at the beginning of May, to a Pagan festival at a place called Meriden. I won't, however, be going alone. The guy I've been meeting up with occasionally has asked me to go with him for the weekend, and I've agreed. It's been quite a while since I've done anything like this and I'm a tad nervous, but also, looking forward to it a lot.

I had to Google that, some sort of Aussie term. I sincerely hope it'll be a bit more comfortable than that!

Ah, finally made someone around here have to google something! ..or maybe you're just one of the few honest ones

One of my best mates, an Aussie that even hikes wearing thongs (flip-flops) and a beer in his hand always uses a swag when camping. It was hilarious when my sister and her family came with a bunch of us up to the Flinders Ranges - Wilpena Pound.

In the middle of the night my sister didn't know he was there in his swag and she fell over him. I just heard her scream and then some hysterics from both of them. I've been thinking of getting one, so easy to setup and the modern ones are remarkably comfy. However, I think i like the luxury of my tent too much. I swear i get my sleeping arrangement even more comfy than my own bed. I use an inflatable mattress, a soft blanket over that, then a wool lined sleeping bag and my quilt. It's one of those dome tents, fits two. The great thing about the mattress is that is assists with keeping the tent intact. In 2016 I went to Philip Island to watch the moto GP, we camped on a farmers field and it was sodden. I put my pegs in at 45degrees all around punched deep into the earth. That night i've never experienced wind and rain like it, at least while camping. The tent was pushed over to the right such that at times of being buffeted it was pressing against the left side of my body. The fact that my other two mates got drenched and ended up sleeping in their cars is testament to a good sized mattress reinforcement imo!

When I'm camping on my own, I always travel as lightly as possible, and if I can't fit something into a single, standard-sized backpack, I won't take it. I have a small, single-person tent, with attached groundsheet, and a similarly small, that is, quite thin, sleeping bag, and that's it, as far as sleeping arrangements are concerned, as there's basically no room for an inflatable mattress, duvet, or anything else. In terms of clothes, since I'm often away for a few days, I'll just pack an extra pair of shorts, t-shirt, and so on, the sort of things, again, that'll easily fit into the backpack. I never bother taking bulky and uncomfortable outer gear, such as coats or jumpers, as when I'm walking, I don't need them, not even in winter. I do, however, have a woolly hat, for when it's raining.

But that, as I say, is when I'm camping on my own. For the event in May, the guy I'm going with apparently has a large, luxury tent, with all sorts of creature comforts for it, and, for all I know, maybe even an en suite bathroom, or something. Since he'll be driving, lugging it all over there won't be a problem. In fact, it hardly sounds like camping at all, other than the fact that we'll be sleeping in a tent. I am, of course, basing all this on his own descriptions of it.

Laugh My Arse Off

..there is a new brand of swag, way simpler for some of your concerns.

I am going to call it the "Shag Swag" ..built with enough room and comfort to do the hooo haaa, resilient but retaining the ease of use of a swag.

I don't know if anything like that will be happening, or has even been implied.

Only joking Maia.

Anyway, as if a pagan going camping would ever require my patented shag swag.

Now, a Christian on the other hand, well. It'd need be near bullet proof for the level of ...um.

shut up atto

I think things like that, joking aside, are best left unspoken. One always knows, at the time, if it's right, and nothing needs to be said.

[attofishpi]

To be honest that was a drunken post of mine from having spent yesterday in the city attending too many pubs, it shouldn't have been posted, at least in way that implied anything.

Sorry Maia.

It's ok, no worries. I wasn't offended or anything. It takes a lot more than that!

[accelafine]

I really enjoy reading your posts Maia. They have a lot of interesting detail.
I was involved with a school a number of years ago and didn't realise at the time that it was full of pagans or 'wiccans'. Apparently they were all shagging each other and I was completely obvlivious to this None of them would immunise their children either, or wash their children's hair. Needless to say nits were a big problem because they would only use natural 'remedies' that didn't work.

[attofishpi]

..i think you mean "didn't work"?

ya missed the n't

[accelafine]

Fixed, unlike this site that REALLY doesn't want me commenting on it.

Well, you've got to understand that Britain is now run by socialist Labour where freedom to express oneself is now threatened by jail terms, unless you are a 'minority' person, especially a Muzzlem. Keir Stalin and his OGPU/NKVD home office are watching everything that humans do upon the internet. Because, we are mere sheeple that need to be controlled.

..anyway, back to Maia's camping trip!!
