Life's too short but I do take a brush and used to have a dustpan till the dog ate it!!

Same here, well apart from the fact that the dog hasn't eaten the dustpan yet.

A mat or two in front of the main tent door seems to catch a lot of dirt before it gets any further in and then its shoes OFF!

Cleaning out the tent is much more of a problem if you have a sewn in groundsheet, which thankfully we do not have anymore in our main family tent. MT

Just going to say Dust pan and brush, mat at the door and take your shoes off!!!

I do like the blowing it away with the pump, but i'd make more mess that way!!

Am I the only one - just bought a very small Sainsbury's Basics pull around after you hoover. £14.89.   We have the Vango Orchy and carpet and last year were using a dust pan and brush but the brush was pulling at the carpet fibres and ruining it.  With the space created with using the hoover to suck the air from duvet shrink bag this more than makes room for the hoover in the boot.  Cant wait to put it to action in August.

Things I will never take camping...

Hoover.

Iron.

Ironing board.

I am still working on eliminating the above from the house. Give me another couple of years.........

My 3 year old looked at the iron in wonder just last week and asked 'what's that for mummy' - oops.  Life's too short to iron!!

we take a dustpan and brush - and normally use it after we've set up to get rid of the dead grass that we didn't bother clearing up before we packed up last time.

I ain't never gonna win housewife of the year.

A hoover - camping?  No no no

I would not like to hear the sound of a hoover while camping thank you very much

very small dustpan & brush and only use it when there's a lot of grass in the tent or crumbs (vermin) would I take a hoover............no,  dustpan is enough for me

You have got to wonder what breathed life into this thread again after almost 3 years in the wilderness!

Oh, the same themes pop up year after year, belive me. It doesn't make much difference as to when the thread got started originally!
