Thread: Show us your camping set up

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.

I know! That is one of my pet hates, people with pegs driven half in and vertical, eith the ropes hooked on the top!!!!
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.

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

Another trick to get the best out of them is to scrap the top layer of soft dry sand away down to the hard wet sand. This gives the best result and if you spread the dry stuff back on top after the peg is in I find they are impossible to pullout on the angle.

There is in WA made one made by Polyplastics that will bend about 60 degrees without breaking and return to its original position. There are three sizes the longest being obout 450mm.
No bull been in a gale situation and watched it working.

Just the easy option.

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!
