    Creek Camp with the kids

    With the continued hot weather I thought where better to take the kids than down to the creek for a bit of old skool fun and some creek dipping. It also enabled me another night in the hennessy to fit and adjust my DIY underquilt. Quite simply one of the best trips of the year, the kids got involved andthe weather was great.

    The hennessy held up well but I'm still left feeling that it is a little small and i find the bugnet to close to my face. The UQ seemed to work out fine so happy days.

    Another excellent camp out with the prats ;=) . Thoroughly enjoy the adventures as it fulfills my multicultural diversity requirements. Over joyed to hear the banjo plinking away. Mountain Wanderer has steadfastly withstood my imploring to include this uniquely American invention in his videos. Plus, it seems we were entertained by a bit of home style cajun blues to boot!

    They could be playing Fortnite, but this was so much better! Thanks for sharing.

    What were the greens you picked at waterside? Did you season them with anything?

    Getting a bit obsessed with the cbg since I picked it up a couple of weeks ago. Cracking weekend tho and the setting insisted on some blues

    Samphire are the plant, already salty but taste great when fried off in butter. Normally eat them with freshly gathered razor clams, superb.

    Cheers Shug, first time in a long-time I haven't been pulling my hair out as they actually got stuck in. They'll be chuffed that the vid got a reply from the "shug" himself.
