wild camping

[n brown]

I have read this thread and have decided to look into erecting a hammock in the van using canvas and making it with only the use of a boy scout to help hold things and a girl guide to sew the hamock. Oh and the only tool I wil use will be a swiss army Knife ( the big one with everthing on it).
And if that's not WILD I don't know what is.

don't be ridiculous,where would you find a swiss army knife in the wild ,let alone a wild guide or scout,though i have heard the occasional one can be trapped in the highlands,using a recording of their mating call,a rather plaintive''dib dib, dib dib'' sound

I'm loving this thread, I've only read the first 13 posts yet and already I'm chuckling out load and the dog is looking at me with concern :lol-049:

I've got to go and do important things now like putting the Partner battery on charge (again!) so I can drive to the garage for a new battery, and then emptying my sawdust loo after the weekend. Now then, surely having a sawdust loo must qualify me as a wild camper

So I'm going to leave reading the rest of the thread till later, and savour the anticipation of more merriment. Cheers guys, keep on posting, the banter is great :raofl:

don't you find the sawdust a bit scratchy?

how can you use a motorhome and call it wild camping. wild camping is back to basics not having comforts in a motorhome. sleep under a piece of tarp on a hammock made by 1 piece of rope, cook on a open fire.

Surely all wild campers carry a swiss army knife. Okay the scout and guide may be a little bit more difficult.

if not Illegal........don't you need a license if you want to keep them untethered......

As a conny-sewer, the best saw dust is manually produced, or possibly from a recipricating power jig saw. NEVER use the chips from a chainsaw as they will leave you in considerable pain & possibly with splinters. But sawdust from a hand crosscut saw is lovely & soft & smooth.

I like the idea of Glamping, but glaming sounds like something done in town centres of a weekend night in drag, not something I wish to pursue thank you!

Why on Earth would any Sane Person want to put them selves through that misery ?:dance::dance::dance:

We do cook on the campfire as some on here know but to be honest we are more your Hunter Gathererer type really !
Vernon Hunted for the number of the nearest Indian takeaway and we all gathered together to make a list of who wanted what !
Mind fair play to them we did ask them to deliver to a track by a heap of stones in the middle of nowhere .

Did I really find the number? I don't remember that, must have had too many beers!! Still I do remember gathering firewood and some people may have infiltrated security to dance naked round the stones. I don't care what anyone says, that was a pretty wild camping night
