Thread: Rover Park is it a definate goer?

Heater??? Jees, what's the bloody world coming to. For you married blokes that shouldn't be nessacary as you have the other half to keep you warm ops:

Matt, you can do the single bloke thing on the weekend. Join the club. Now that the platering job that I was going to do isn't ready, might get off earlier than expected.

I hear you Trav and had it been me alone, there would not be a heater in sight.....didn't even know they had them for tents and I have camped all my life.......in Scotland 8O But as I have no intention of having my 2 year old & 8 month old sleeping in bed with me and my wife, I have to find a way of keeping their fragile little bodies above freezing...more so Charlie at 8 months as he has no way of shivering yet to keep himself warm. Plus my wife is no good for warmth as she turns into an icicle at the drop of a hat........and I mean that in the literal sense :wink: :roll:

I was at Anaconda yesterday - did not buy anything.
They a have Bunnings style 10% + price guarantee.
Which means you pay through the nose - UNLESS you're a smarty parts and do your homework first you can get a great price on high ticket items.

Those Coleman catalytic heaters sound good.
I did not see any at Anacaonda but Downunder Camping at Salisbury have them - BLACKCAT $79, PROCAT $169. Plus I imangine you'd have to buy the Coleman catridge too. ($6or$7?)

Keeping little kids warm at night can be a nightmare - literally.

Ok folks,

There's good news and bad news from me. Depending on who you are / what you think - you can decide which is which!

We've gone from 7 down to 2 in our Disco 8O Myself and my son Daryl, are the only attendees. The teenage daughter has assignments, a couple of the littlies are a bit crook, and the missus is keeping them all home. The young fella D'arcy (3) may be a starter, but we'll see how well he is.

BAD POINTS
Won't get to play Land Rover families with all the others (sorry Noz, Hardy & folks with wives and little ones).
Children will miss a great fun weekend
Less children and wives to entertain other members childrens and wives

GOOD POINTS
Won't have to pack a 10th of the sh*t we normally do
Won't have to feed, clean, dress or shower anyone (hopefully ) all weekend
Won't have to worry about coming back to base too often
Won't have to worry about anyone but us
Won't have to worry about D'arcy (3) jumping on me at 5:30 am
Won't have to worry about much except keeping the vehicle upright
Won't have to worry about keeping myself upright

Thats is a bugger my kids were looking forward to playing

I may even run out to BCF and buy a heater as well. The kids are a worry especially if you have a real sooky one ( and I do :roll: )
