Camping this weekend

[oly]

I'm in a private club at a natural hot springs camp ground where we go swimming all year round. The hot springs has a lot of minerals in it and is supposed to be healthy for you. Anyway on arrival Friday they had power supply problems and there wasn't going to have power this weekend, so when I get setup everyone was crying about no power (I was not prepared, I left all of my cry towels home ), I said what are you going to do during a power outage on a cold night? what are you going to do if we have an earthquake or some sort of emergency situation where you have to leave such as a hazardous spill that requires evacuation or what ever? He!! I said so far the only thing I have experienced is a cold night without no power, being I keep the propane tanks and the battery's full all the time and a solar battery charger I just go out to the trailer and read a book. Don't you people go into the mountains to get away from everything? All left with there nose stuck up in the air except one and we BS ed for a while about the power and I told him that I have food, water, and shelter and I'm happy, he said he was going to leave tomorrow. The next day I noticed that he was still there and looking at me in a competitive look and I laughed and told the wife that I think hes trying to compete with me. We loaded up and as we was leaving I grinned and said to the wife, He won but at least he stuck it out.

My plane A is the camp trailer for an emergency but the trailer is next to the house and might not make it during an earthquake so I have a plane B that is a BOB.

Electricity while camping? Who would've thunk it?

[laughing beetle]

Electricity while camping?! Blasphemy!!!

I like to do that, too. I just hate draggin' that really long extension cord from the house around.

I am hoping to get my tent and head to the mountains within the next couple of weeks. I am also hoping to do some Trout fishing also.

I spent 40yrs in a tent camping and one day the wife said its time to upgrade and I said yes dear.
I'm not whipped, I just do what I'm told the first time

Yes ma'am...

I'm surprised at you guys. The man is the head of the household. Ya'll just need to take charge and put your foot down. And remember, when all else fails, play dead.

"head of House leaves the tail wide open(and my wife does stand behind me).

[Rick]

Man does too but it's usually to give me a shove.

[aflineman]

Electricity?! Heck, I felt like I was cheating when I started bring a cot and doing more camping out of the truck than out of my pack.

[Badawg]

When car camping I bring a big deepcycle and 2 inverters. I like music and that way I can bring an amp and some speakers... Certainly can live without it though. And, I do have a small genny...

[crashdive123]

So you're the one making all of that racket while I'm trying to sleep...

[Badawg]

So you're the one making all of that racket while I'm trying to sleep...

HECK no! I HATE generators... I said I have one, but it only gets fired up for bona-fied emergencies like I need to use the blender for Margaritas...

[crashdive123]

I was talking about the music, but if you're making margaritas....

[Rick]

TURN OFF THAT $#$%@#$ MUSIC!!! Good Lord, doesn't that guy ever sleep?

Ha... No doubt, I meow so that I dont get a whipping.

I dont need a genny, I just go into the mountains and find me a current bush and plug it in Tasty berry's too
