carpets in tents? WHY? WHY? WHY fgs?

[fillyjonk]

Why?

do you take also a satellite dish and a doorbell?

i just Do Not Get It

Confused of South Wales

Put cayenne pepper in your sox. It's cheap and effective.

I've known people who lost toes to frostbite, quite a few of them actually, who passed on the tip to me.

I have just had the best week's camping ever

we had radiators

and real mattresses

it was truly plush

although to be fair it wasn't strictly camping
but was in fact a narrowboat

(after last year's 'Badgers' Tent Collapses In IoW Gale' fiasco we don't get the tent out till July at the earliest)

I've also done the rekking ExPat and no I dont NEED carpet

but it seems to help

so why on earth not?

Why is it worse than shaking cayenne into socks??

It works and I like it which is fine by me

Each to their totally not-harming-anyone-else own and all that

NO, sally! I'm not pissed.

I'm just started a one-woman war against the evils of carpet and wallpaper.

Did you know that a cockroach can live off wallpaper glue alone?

wallpaper

Carpet = bad.

Wallpaper = bad.

Caravan = good.

Tent = bad.

Well strictly speaking mine is rubber with a fleece coating rather than soggy carpet

I have no idea why I am getting defensive I mean, its a carpet!! I dont need no permission to have it

I want it

DH and I get a saddo kick out of having The Kit of The Moment

Done the backpacking, done the cold arse in the niddle of dartmoor

now I do it my way

Off 16 June for self-catering cottage up north.

Got it even cheaper because it's 18 miles to anywhere .

Also I made sure it only had carpets in the bedrooms .

My way is a caravan with heater or self-catering cottage in the sticks.

A Tin Tenter???????????

Yeesh

Alla rguments blown out of the water in one statement!

I remember the ex telling me, It's only 4 miles and 1000 feet of gain (elevation).

Fucking LIAR!

8 miles in, 2200 feet of gain, bloody camp at 11,000 feet so I Cheyne-Stoked all night, too.

All so he could climb fucking Lizard Peak.

would not have predicted this for kicking off...

Come on Aitch you've been on MN long enough to know this is NOT a kick off LOL!

And anyway I have a bloody great smile at the moment- ooooh I love the attention me!!!!

More threads about me would suit me just fine

Kick off on the magic carpet!

Aye, Aitch, this is mere patter!

Poor Peachy, so British, she can't even camp w/o a carpet!

Actually ExPat ds1 is looking at a climbing course they do on the campsite we were at thsi week, for a couple of years time- its near Cheddar and a good mate is a caving instructor there so I am inclined to encourage him (plus he's incredibly physically able).

How do you KNOW I'm Bristish?????? Eh??????

Ok I am

Trust me the carpet is a recent introductioon LOL! By about 8 weeks, and i've been camping 21 years.

Still like it though- we camp a LOT and early on (March) so inulation = good.

put cayenne pepper in his socks, peachy. LOL.

My ex came to climbing from caving, Peachy, and let me tell you, cavers are amazing when they climb rocks because they've already got a real respect for the wilderness and safety.

He'd have fun and a laugh, Peachy! He'd probably really enjoy it.

And he already knows how to abseil and trust his harness and gear!

Er no, ds1 would try and eat it!
