My fiddle bug is not confined to the campsite.

Inbetween camping trips I unpack all the stuff, sort it, clean it, tidy it, and try and pack it in a more space saving manner. Once that is done I start on the actual stuff and trawl the internet and all local and not so local camping shops for newer more efficent gadgets.

I know exactly where everything is packed and whats where down to the smallest object and I travel well equipped - you know the type? the one who can produce the most obscure item from the bottomless kit bag at a moments notice!

Its all part of the fun!

I'm always fiddling, I was a nightmare with my V500, it was minly the groundsheet as it was the version thats attached to the outter.  I was always paranoid about the rain as I didn't have it quite right there was a little river formed in a sudden downpour ! Now my Tamor has got the riser gound sheet so that won't be so bad.  The worst thing is my kids like to put the pegs in however, I go round the next day discretely moving them as I like all my guy lines symmetrical and all lined up!!!!!
