Those earnest types on ukcs are making me anxious. Do you have a big knife under your pillow to cut your way out of your tent then?

[Slubberdegullion]

Because they do. Special knifes for instant evacuation. Some have even practiced evacuation plans. They are all so good and sensible over there.

And I don't have a fire bucket.

I'm just asking to go up, whhooomphff, in a big ball af flames aren't I?

She'll never be mid crouch over a bucket (with or without lid) as she has a freakishly large bladder (you don't mind me telling everyone this do you, Trout?) and only goes to the loo about once every six weeks.

I will allow that she may be deeply asleep though.

Perhaps I need a contingency plan.

I have come up with a contingency plan!

I (unlike Trout) have a freakishly small bladder and go to the loo about once every six minutes. I will throw my bucket of pee over the fire.

To be honest though, is there really a likelihood that your tent will spontaneously catch fire while you're a sleep necessitating a knife to exit fast?

Surely the risk point is while cooking - i.e. you're awake and stood RIGHT THERE! Hence having a fire bucket nearby. I really can't understand the knife thing.

she'll love that if I bring it up in some random thread one of these days

"but Soren says..........."

And if your neighbour's tent catches fire while YOUR sleeping - well that's why they insist on the gaps between pitches. And their screams would wake you up pretty quick. Honest.

I think she'll like that, slubber

ARGH... YOU'RE sleeping .... (bloody grammar)

Now this thread is the sole reason why a mn camping meet-up is not be recommended!

Lucy, if your tent was on fire I would definitely throw my bucket of pee over you- it

Well I promise never to chuck a bucket of my own piss on any fellow mners tent, even if it was on fire.

I am always ready to leap into action with my trusty knife (don't fear moo i shall save you)..i never sleep anyway..am kept awake by sound of endless peeing from next door tent.

Not over my Norfolk lake you won't! I shall required water distilled by Vestal virgins to put out any flames thank you very much.

did i ever tell you how freakishy small Moo's bladder is?
peanut i tell you

ahhh Soren, are you a wild camper then? I'm somewhat more dignified and would start tackling tent fires with my ice chest of cooled tonic water.

Me peeing and dh snoring...tell me again why you like us coming with you?

at soren being a wild camper

Picture scatter cushions and chandeliers

I'm almost a Vestal virgin...well, I have a vest.

at your dh kbear!

we have a zip exit hatch type thing, not a door, I am not sure what it is for(maybe that is where people keep their pots to piss in?), but if a fire started at the door we could get out that, though a handily close knife would probably be better.

I'm exceedingly wild...ignore that huge-bladdered woman...I'm like Ray Mears, me.

Look, here are some pictures of our last trip

ah i lerve you moo

Lucy...am at your tent...it's very beautiful

MN Camping Meet Up

Gerroff (I need to go to the loo)

Soren - screeeech with laughter at that photo!!!

Slubber - "maybe you can entice him back to the camping life with a High Vis jerkin, a porno face and a mallet?" - If that doesn't entice him back, nothing will.
