Boys trips at my mates 300 acre bush block. We spent the weekend pushing in new tracks and clearing old ones. The property had been abandoned for 50 years.

Unfortunately I lost about 5 years worth of mobile photos a little while ago when an SD card corrupted and wasn't able to be recovered so I don't have many pics now.
But this is my new fancy swag on the Avon River.

Went snow camping on a weekend that Victoria got hit with a Super-cell. Aah yeah, thats pretty ugly weather. We set up in windy sunny weather and a lush green grass campsite deep into the bush up Mt Howitt way. 4 hrs later, this is what hit us.8221182212Brothers single pole tent next morning 82213What was left of a brand new RV-5 - warranty claim rejected by manufacturer - never meant to be used in snow

Lookin' at many of these how soft would Roofy think we were jacked up on stretchers! I swapped out my old flap over swag to Roofy and never liked my hooped swag "upgrade". Was always too cold in comparison.

Sprock,
Sprocky Doodle, this was actually the year before that trip, and unfortunately all my photos of that weekend we got together are on my other phone, still in my room at the minesite. It was a funny trip though, missed out on some great driving having to 'babysit' my semi conscious brother from the previous nights activity. Anyway, i doubt we are going to get released this year in time for the snow, so maybe next year we can do it again, perhaps bigger! Funny thing was, we tried to find that campsite in the first photo and in the snow every 'memory marker' disappeared, so to this day i don't know exactly where that spot is, probably could find it in the dry though? The spot we ended up in was ok though. The year after that second trip, my brother and I headed back up there and could only get about 100m off the mainroad as the snow was so deep, the patrol actually rode up on the floor pan and belly'd out - that's where camp ended up being that year.

Plassy, i made my first swag, and used it down in Tassy while I was working there for 6 months - headed out the back of Sheffield towards the high country and it was one without a hoop or supports. Pulled up for the night in early arvo at a great little dam, and chased the trout around without luck for hours. that night it stormed and snowed about 3 - 4". The sapling trees spent the night slapping against the side of the landcruiser i had back then. I knew it was snowing, and first time in a swag under those conditions, but warm and comfortable - as the snow built up I remember it being like a heavy blanket. Anyway, got up next morning and 3-4" of snow on the canvas, lucky I didn't suffocate. Good memories.

Entry 3 Father and daughter weekend down at Leechville. What started as a brilliant weekend ended as major dramas as the weather turned and the recently graded track of clay turned impossible. My hydraulic winch worked well, pulling up out of there over 1.6klm at 20m bites, took 10 hrs from memory. No friction, no forward motion.8221582216

it would do it no worries it is very stable, Native Titan 10 might be more the go if your always out in the strait. They are a bit higher and wider but also another 20kg heavier.

Following on the Avo theme.... no poles or pegs but with a little help from friends and half a bottle of Jacks, you can get the job done.
