Yeah, he’s great, although he does have a singed armpit!

@Laurie
Hey laurie, oh yeah, I’m familiar with those camping trips myself. Here’s how one trip went for us; cousin’s car broke down, pouring rain, our car overheated and had to turn back, borrowed Mum and Dad’s car, stopped raining the day we left and a third car’s engine flooded and took us half an hour to start. That was a trip to remember let me tell you! You’re welcome by the way.

Wow, that guy twirling the fire is really good! I think if he does not own a fire stick already he should go and grab himself some ;o) This post is too funny and just brings the weekend alive again, love your work Sami x

Hilarious! You’re a great story-teller.

I don’t camp much…one of the last times was when it rained so hard we gave up at about 2am, tore down the tent with everything in it, threw it in the truck and went home. Nope, not much for camping…

Thanks for the laugh!

Three cheers for you and your intrepid camping buddies! Three cheers for finding fun amidst gale force winds, burning trees, rangers on duty, escaped camping gear–

If laughter is the best medicine, then every time I visit your site I add another year to my life!

Kirsty, question from a yank: what the hell is a thumper nat??

Oh it is a gift to see the funny side of life in these situations!!

Yes, we have had many an adventure mud bogging in Darwin – and getting stuck out in the middle of no where with no mobile recption and several vehicles up to their axles in clay was the highlight of them.

But we lived to tell the tale and laugh even more about the rescue attempts by half drunk thumper nats!

Oh the good ol’ days!

You guys are crazy campers!! And Sami, you won’t be joining a Navy Seal training program anytime soon? I’m sure you handstand skill would play in nicely…

How’d you miss the armpit fiasco – that would have been classic! (no offense, Chris…)
