to camp or not camp?

[Cen0bitE]

i have this little chiffon number i want to wear but am wondering if it would make me....

ahem

anyone else camping? thinking it might be a bit nippy

[Ruth]

You took the post right outta my fingers!

I was lookin forward to camping, but then realised it'll be friggin freezin by the time October comes around.

I love me tent! But i also love not FREEZING whilst i sleep.

[Chicane]

i'll be camping as it'll be a full house.

[Omnituens]

stop being so wussy, camping inthe cold makes you STRONG LIKE OX.

dunno what happened there, i think i need sleep.

[Ruth]

I do love to camp in my awesome little tent.

And i do *hate* sleeping inside with people talking til ridiculous o clock and waking up to RIDICULOUS HEAT from a mass of bodies..... Ugh.

Maybe i will tent it then :D

[ez64]

just politely kick anyone talking at twat AM in the face.

[her0n]

Actually i've always found the slan sleeping areas to be nice and quiet.

[Killy]

I've found them quiet... then again I ususally don facemask and earplugs... wait what?

[her0n]

facehugger and earplugs? :D:

[Cen0bitE]

yeah camping ftw, mainly for the peace and quiet, will just pack my fur lined jodhpurs, the ones without the bottom cut out

[Ruth]

Its gonna be coooooooooooooold!

[evs]

meh i'll tent it
end of the day if its frigging freezin i'll just pack it up and go lie down inside

OMG THE CHOICE

[gemini]

I would rather have antrhax than to camp at any time of the year.

***EDIT***

Stratlan....not i-series

DOH

[her0n]

All very well but this is for stratlan, not the i-series.

October shouldn't be too bad for camping imo. Unless it takes a chilly turn between now and then.

However the sleeping areas are fine usually!

[DaveWalker]

If its too cold ill camp in my car with the heating on :D

[Cen0bitE]

If its too cold ill camp in my car with the heating on :D

your tattoos will keep you warm.

which reminds me i could murder a kebab

[Chicane]

isn't a kebab dead already?

[Cen0bitE]

depends on if you go to the right shops and if we arent talking about badly packed kebabs

[Ruth]

Ugh, kebabs are migning.

How do tattoos keep you warm?

[Shazz]

DOH

BUY A PROPER SLEEPING BAG (4 season) AND I GUARANTEE YOU WONT FEEL THE COLD.

Also, you're warmer in a 4 season sleeping bag, the less clothes you're wearing (no im really not lying, i camped in the andees at -5 this way, and i was toasty warm...)

you wimps.

and gemini, can we take you up on the anthrax offer?

[Minidisk]

Its gonna be coooooooooooooold!

But your northen, as if your going to get cold :P

[ProfLiebstrom]

But your northen, as if your going to get cold :P

gemini is moaning abotu the cold and hes about as north as it gets!

[Omnituens]

and gemini, can we take you up on the anthrax offer?

I SUGGEST AN EXPERIMENT

however, all experiments need to be performed more than once for verification, and i nominate Lonewolf as a backup victim. I mean test subject.

[DaveWalker]

your tattoos will keep you warm.

which reminds me i could murder a kebab

The older u get bob, the less funny u become...... /grumble "It says CONNOR"


And back on subject, aye a decent sleeping bag works wonders.

[Rec0il]

clearly it says Donner! - we all know how much you love the meat dave!

[DaveWalker]

.......... hmmm

[SystemId]

For a truely good nights sleep use your car ;D

[CorsetGamer]

I will do the tent thing dont want anyone been sick on my bed hehehe

[gemini]

I wasnt moaning about the cold.

It was more in the way of me despising everything about camping

setmode rant

The fact that its cold is one thing. But you have to put the tent up yourself, if it rains then your going around ankle deep in mud, all your belongings get damp and cold and wet, you cant cook inside so if its raining or something then you need to go get a takeaway, you cant look after your personal hygene propperly, the showers are in a public toilet, and cost money and are almost always freezing cold, you have to cook your own food, make your own bed (literally) and **** in a bucket. Plus not forgetting you get eaten alive by flying piranhas.

What part of that sounds like fun/comfortable to anyone here ?

(To see a very good film about just why I hate caravans / tents / camping / the great outdoors, watch Top Gear - Season 8 - Episode 6) Just repeat everything Clarkson says.

[Boffykins]

Hardly any of those points apply to LAN camping

You obviously havnt seen these new tents, in fact ill bet u they are set up before u are.

if it rains then your going around ankle deep in mud, all your belongings get damp and cold and wet,

Were not talking about camping Ray Mere's style here m8, tents are now waterproof, welcome to the 21st century.

you cant cook inside so if its raining or something then you need to go get a takeaway,

Everyones gonna be eating take away! Beer and takeaway is the whole idea around Lan id of thought no?

you cant look after your personal hygene propperly, the showers are in a public toilet, and cost money and are almost always freezing cold, you have to cook your own food, make your own bed (literally) and **** in a bucket.

Negatory, ill be going to the toilet on the side of ste's tent, unless i need number 2, where i will perch it nicely on his pillow :)


Plus not forgetting you get eaten alive by flying piranhas.

Most of em will be dead, as its winter

[Shazz]

Dave wins... a cookie :p:

[SystemId]

Tents are cozy though? Its worth the privacy to freeze your balls off.

[Killy]

<obligatory joke about Disco Stu and camping here>
<3 ;)

[Rec0il]

Well tbh - I camped at 32 and there was no problems at all - apart from bob trying to destroy my tent @ 5 am in the morning!

We can camp closer to the building this time i guess as the racecourse wont be a camping site to all the public!

[bvark]

For a truely good nights sleep use your car ;D

Tried this at FBL once, even with a big-ass estate and the seats folded down with an inflatable matress it sucked ass - the temperature changes were even more extreme than a tent.

Oh, and my alarm kept going off :(

[Rocker]

Will be camping :)

<3 Cold <3

:P

[Ruth]

Last weekend it was nice and sunny and warm.

This weekend its pissed it down with rain.

Im not holding out much hope for slan weekend.

But ill still see you all with my tent!

So, how many we got camping?

Im one!

I was gonna mention something like this too...
I don't know why people seem to think sleeping in a big box made of glass and metal will be any warmer than a tent.

A decent tent, a decent sleeping bag and half a brain and you're probably going to be warmer than if you were sat inside.

Btw, Gemini, most tents have built in floors, or at least ground-sheets these days. Beats the blanket thrown over a bit of string that you seem to be used to :P

[Cen0bitE]

pop up tents ftw

[Obi-Wan-Shinobi]

I shall be camping. Purely for the alertness in the morning feeling, stepping outside a tent is an awesome hangover cure.

[Ruth]

stepping outside a tent is an awesome hangover cure.

Agreed!
