FTO AUSTRALIA

How big is your tent?

How many people can it hold? Just thinking if I need to get another tent possibly? Otherwise i'll bring my army hutchie and sleep under that

I only have a small cheap Kmart 3 man tent, which would really only fit 2 single air mattresses.
I don't mind sharing my tent, but they are only cheap to buy.

If we can work out how big/small all the tents would be, we may only need to occupy 1 - 2 camping spot/s.

I guess it would be up to the camping ground/caravan park.

List time...
Phil = small 3 man tent

+ we will all need UHF radios to talk to each other.

I'm thinking of buying a GME 5watt hand held.

So I might have my $30 elcheapo spare for someone, but it's pretty crap.

Phil if you guys are meeting tarkus in Melb, could I request you to carry something for me in your car?

Yea I might find out if someone I know has a tent, otherwise i'll buy one.

And I've got two handheld radios;

These or a very similar model

But I'd need to charge them at dwaynes or Melbourne if needed

from how i read it! they are going straight across to Dwaynes and missing Melbourne, so they cannot pick up your stuff.

unless plans have changed. check the link Phill put up for google maps

Oh Dang!
Phil??
Let me check the route link.

Hmm...they are coming via the Sturt Hwy.
Thanks for pointing that out tarkus Let me post in Vic thread.

I'm not sure if I can be bothered with a tent, haha. Might just bring a bunch of blankets and sleep in the car.

FTO's are pretty comfy to sleep in ... Have done it a few years myself... But, it can get cold... So make sure you have a warm sleeping bag, or good quality blankets...

I reckon that sleeping in a FTO 4 nights in a row will be a bit much.

It would cost you less than $50 for a tent and air mattress.

I have an electric pump for air mattresses.

Tents these days are so easy to set up too.

So go to Kmart and buy some comfort

this is the one I got from BCF(boating / camping / fishing) online @
http://www.bcf.com.au/online-store/prod ... 6697#Cross

$99.99 plus $5.50 delivery to my place.
i have had mine for 9 months now and no problem. just make sure whichever you get that it takes AA batteries. then you can replace anytime. only 2 watts and gives me about 3 km range
more than enough range for our regular car runs in the MR2.

Maybe I'll do a test night, haha. Just to see what it would be like. But a mattress is perhaps not a bad idea...
