Overnighter with the family (wife included)

[nobby8126]

Managed to convince the warden that she should tag along to a wild camp (ish) with me and the kids. Lavvu, hammocks and French f1 tent set up and a couple of days in this glorious weather ahead. On the whole it was good and I was really impressed with my latest purchase (the F1) but the kids all had there moments in the night with sleep talking, sleep throttling and hammock acrobatics. Managed some fun down the creek and as usual we ate our own weight in meat. Not sure if "she who must be obeyed" will join us again but I'm optimistic.

I really enjoyed seeing this.

Tell your kids that I still fondly remember doing that sort of thing with my parents 70 years later.

My first tent was very similar and I still have it. I thought my dad was thinking of me when he bought me my own tent and I no longer had to share with my parents: only when I was older did I realise who got the most benefit! I also later realised why he encouraged me to get up early to go and catch rabbits with a bribe of ten shillings (50p) for each one I caught while they stayed in their tent. Every morning my parents had an extra two hours in bed and it didn't cost him a penny.

Hopefully they'll realise when they have kids. Your old man sounded like a cunning old fox.
