Camping, where you spend thousands of dollars to live like a homeless person!

Sorry Bird, must admit we do avoid the latte sipping big cities when we are away, lattes and Lycra are a bad mix and we get enough of that in Adelaide in Jan with the Tour down under.

I use this saying  a bit, mostly as we are leaving the driveway or leaving camp to head home  " What weve got, We go with  --   What we Havent, We go Without " .

Something very similar - " If we ( ain't got it )  have not packed it , we don't need it  "

It's almost never funny, but my mantra for camping is "2 is 1 and 1 is none".

And something I've learned to NEVER say - "I'm sure we won't need [insert item here] this trip..."

When we are travelling with a few friends and selecting a campsite for the night we often use the phrase that "this looks like the place for a village".... also used occasionally (but not in the same light tones)  when SWMBO needs the camper parked just so so....and after several different approaches to the site in absolute frustration I turn off the vehicle and alight!!!!  By the way...that's where the camper stays until we are ready to move on be it good bad or level!!

Our mates reckon the old bloke "scratches around like an old chook" when selecting the setup site.  And also has been known "to get the theodolite out", also to select the perfect site, not an euphemism.

Camping without Grog,
Is just sitting in the bush.


Wonder what the poor people are doing today?
The reply usually is, sitting around a camp fire with good company.

Make sure "we have an emu bob " before we leave the site.

Means a thorough cleanup of small stuff...zippy ties, bottle tops etc.

My commonly used qoute when sitting back & relaxing next to the camper is "how's the serenity" from everyone's favourite aussie movie.

You're far from alone with that one. And when the cicadas are deafening or someone nearby is making a bunch of noise I like to scan the vista and add "not a sound..."

And you're not talking about what I thought you were.
