Lions, snakes , that is nothing

just see what happens if a nice funnel web spider is waiting for you inside the sleeping bag

Tanzania and Lions are paradise

That was the entree' , when we were camping in Kenya, i slept in a tent but my mate used a swag - well not after he woke up with an Epyptian Cobra staring into his eyes ! For 2 people a rooftop tent is a great idea but the missus wont like climbing down a ladder to empty her pea sized bladder.

I had a mate who had one a few years ago when they were a new concept. He made up some legs that kept it up (although you couldn't stay in it), so he could leave it up and drive away during the day and just come back and drive under for the night. A good idea I thought. I think he made them from memory.

So, the Cobra was on holidays too then

Personally i think anything other than a camper trailer is a PITA, stop buggerising around and go out and buy one, ya buncha wosses
