For sure. And clothes just make stuff difficult.. But outside...

And I'm surprised our kids did so well in dargo..
We got them minus 8 bags, but are kids bags, half size.. Maybe that's the trick..
The slept in normal fanny jarmies, with socks on, and both on air beds..
We found the mornings outta bed to be the worst, especially matilda the youngest..
So we invested in some decent jackets for next time..

so its back to Coolgardie coolers to keep food fresh and Kero lamps for lighting.

I think our fore fathers would love what led technology brings to the table.
they slept in huts in the high country with a roaring fire inside didn't they

Three hot waterbottles each ---feet ------back and tummy
will be warm as toast

Don't worry bloke,
get ya heater and get out and about 10 fold compared to the rest of us weaklings.

won't be to cold to get busy when the kids go to bed!!
who's laughing then.

I know, I have too much time on my hands.

You should just buy a 12v one Troy and tell us if it works ?

Im seriously considering this option possibly even on a timer so its only running half the time also

Yeh, maybe if it could be made to turn on 15min every hour, it may keep the chill off without burning the battery ?


Something like this may work, as the on and off can be set eight times each day......

Orrrr, what about a automatic 12V temperature controller/relay, that way you could set a temp to be maintained in the little ones bed automatically, no need for a timer, and wont run if the bed is already warm enough ?

I think it will be to hard to know what temperature to set it at for a thermostat relay setup. Timer would be a winner IMO.
