    I've got two "el cheapo" ones. 6 man tents. One for the kids and one for us. First time we took em out at Easter about 6 years ago, we froze. Got a 24ft x 24ft tarp from my father and havnt looked back.

    Its probably a little big to start out with but I can fit both tents under it, setup a kitchen with stove, BBQ and prep table and a Dining room. Add a few smaller $4 tarps from supercheap auto for wind breaks and we are set.

    nice photos Clunk and Rkinsey.

    Interesting scope on the BRNO (?) Clunk.

    Shade cloth makes a good windbreak too - while letting a bit of bree2e through on hot days.

    Thanks for the pics Rob, definitely a great idea and certainly one I'll be using when we start getting out on those longer trips. Thanks for the pics mate.

    hahahahahaha oh yeah gone and got me one of those, nice little 2 burner stove with a cast iron grill to sit on top too...................... would like to get a fridge too but cant justify the expense yet, so gonna get an ice box the replace the crappy eskys I've got - they only keep me ice for a day if I'm lucky lol...................... K-Mart and BigW have definitely been my friend to get the starter stuff required........... not doubt once I start getting more into it and the cheaper items start failing, they'll be replaced with something a little more robust

    Love those cheap tarps for wind breaks. It makes life so much easier and more comfortable. I'll be using them this summer.

    Just pickup things each year as you go along. You dont have to fork out huge amounts of cash that way and you get to experiment as well. Thats half the fun of it. I try and make bush furnature as well. Just watch the Bush Tucker Man series and Les will show you how to setup camp.

    Good thing you've got the 'Trol... If you have a family like mine you need one just to be able to tow all the gear your going to end up with....!!

    Cheers,
