This is our setup, pretty quick and easy. Compact for the tougher trails but enough storage for a week away. Mines the red truck or friend Graham drives the white one.
We also have the tent on the trailer for the kids.
With any luck you guy might spot us in Australia in 2010 (if the economy improves)
I know! That is one of my pet hates, people with pegs driven half in and vertical, eith the ropes hooked on the top!!!!Quote:
Where a lot of people go wrong is that they don't place the peg so that the guy rope is pulling at a 90deg angle to the shaft of the peg.
Really gives me the irits!!!
(I got in trouble for not spelling it!;))
Then if there is a wind, they wake me up at night banging the pegs in again:(

Well, I guess that at least two of us do it correctly. :BigThumb:
This is our set up. It's still a work in progress but it is already very comfortable and practical. The pod can be lifted off with jacks to allow me to go exploring once we have set up.

All I need now is to get my hands on that solar panel sun tracker and we'll be set. I also intend on extending the awning on the side to run the full length to meet up with the awning at the rear.
Thanks for the help guys. Id better get some of those pegs before i go, the pegs i got with my new tent are about 100mm long with a diameter of about 3mm lol.
Thanks Michio

A couple pictures of my hammock from our Boy Scout campout last weekend, this time sporting my new silicone-nylon tarp. No, still no Land Rover (we hiked in anyway), but there's my Akubra on my backpack! ;)

Total weight of the setup, including tarp, hammock, tree straps, mozzie net, stakes, etc., is just 1.5 kg. All home-made. Quite a bit more comfortable than sleeping on the ground!
