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?

[SorenLorensen]

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.

[SorenLorensen]

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.

[RubberDuck]

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.

[Slubberdegullion]

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

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

[RubberDuck]

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.

[SorenLorensen]

I think she'll like that, slubber

[RubberDuck]

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

[Lucycat]

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

[SorenLorensen]

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

[Slubberdegullion]

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

[Troutpout]

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.

[Lucycat]

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.

[Troutpout]

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

[Slubberdegullion]

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.

[SorenLorensen]

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

[Troutpout]

at soren being a wild camper

Picture scatter cushions and chandeliers

[SorenLorensen]

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

[Aefondkiss]

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.

[SorenLorensen]

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

[SorenLorensen]

Look, here are some pictures of our last trip

[Troutpout]

ah i lerve you moo


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

MN Camping Meet Up

[SorenLorensen]

Gerroff (I need to go to the loo)

[Kbear]

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.
