Hi everyone,
Well we have an 8 week trip planned mainly through the north-west. I was going to be taking my own 4wd and just travelling in convoy with my parents and some mates but my friend that was coming has dropped out and I can't really afford to brunt the fuel bill myself, so reluctantly I have decided to take up my Dad's offer of travelling in their car. However now I don't know
what to take to sleep in as I was going to sleep in my own car. My parents have an oz-tent. I am needing to at least have my own space to sleep so any suggestions?? I've thought about my swag or my bushwalking tent, but keep thinking it may be a litte uncomfortable for 8 weeks..... any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks

Kath I think George's 'cot tent' might be what caught my eye last week. Not in need, so didn't look closely. Folded dimensions unknown.
Would you consider a hammock? Most people rubbish them, but maybe they've only used commercial jobs. We have 2 canvas 'beds' in the ute, and most motel beds offer far less comfort. I still use the same model 'bodgied' hammock (Blankets Inner, I do believe), as I was using in 1969.
If you're interested in the concept, let's know and I'll send details and photos.
If you're interested but don't want contact, just remember you'll need thermal insulation under you : they can get damn cold underneath around 3AM.
Good trip eh. Jeff.
