Trailers hold even more! I can't be doing with towing, though.

Yeah they do hold heaps. I dunno. It just seems weird to be taking so much stuff though. We just have two small dome tents when we go camping. We have our cooking bag with utensils and plates etc. We have our skin care bag with insect repellent and sunscreen etc. We have our first aid kit and a small bag each, napsack size for our clothes and just wash them daily. Other than that, there's a bit of bedding and that's it besides whatever food we take. All that fits in the boot of our car or if we're going in the boat, it fits in the boat which we tow.

Oh, and a gass stove with two burners and sometimes, depending on where we go, we might take the webber to bake bread/damper in (because in most places you're not allowed to have an open fire).

We used to camp like that.... then we Americanized Why sleep on the floor if you can fit an airbed in? Sex is more fun on an airbed too

I have to add though, if we go somewhere that there's no fresh water, we do need more storage space, but we invariably have the boat then so it fits in there.

Sex is more fun outdoors when the kids have gone to sleep (which is usually fairly early when we go camping).

A blanket on the beach is nice. Afterwards you can go for a nice refreshing swim.

Does wonders for the constitution.

Bug Spray. Nasty chemical. not good for children or women of childbearing age or anyone for that matter. But about the only thing that works round here.

Hoping not to need it in the desert, though, so will keep the suggestions in mind......

Sorry ducks. So back to the hard one. Is penetration an issue? Rain, that is?
