F..king sleeping bags stuff bags and teapots!

**woodybee** · 13th October 2008, 21:22

God is it me, or do other people have a fight with their summo wrestling sleeping bags.

Blimey I reckon, I have had many a one sided scuffle over stufifng one of those back into their under sized bags. And boy, is it made difficult when the sun is beating down, with the sledgehammer embedded into ones head after an encounter with copious amounts of alcohol

from the nigth before.

Which brings me onto the next point. Once the shitty sleepoing bag is wrestled into the bag, and its a fine line as to who has actually won, as when you get it out the other end, the bloody thing has tried to get back out, and is squeezing its way back out......scarry stuff, reckon a good horror could come about from sleeping bag tales. I mean if its gets out entirely,,,,,then what

I have rolled around, and punched my SB so many times, and always out of breath and exhausted after a cuddle with it.

After all that physical exhaustion, then its only the g\right thing to stop at a cafe and have a nice cup of tea, which brings me onto the last point.

WHY HAS NOBODY INVENTED A TEA POT THAT ACTUALLY POURS A CUP OF TEA INTO THE TEACUP WHITHOUT SHEDDING ITS LOAD ALL OVER THE FRIGGIN TABLE.

Anyway, thats my thoughts of the day, but this is the chick who wonders what those tiny birds that sprout feathers are arguing about when they are having a scuffle.....................

Well thats about it, coi for now.

Actually no, I have been meaning to write this for ages, its 2 valid points, my days are cruisey as, delivery bits and bobs to delicious builders, and in the sun, how could a chick fail to love a job like that one eh.

You are in an awesome location too. If it were up to me I'd end my exile and be back in Central in a heart beat.

Hey there dude, if you lvoe it so much, then just hike it back there, I have never dwelled on maybe I should do that, I just did it, hence this briwi (british kiwi) is living over in your wonderous land.

Meh. Central yes, it's nice there - Queenstown no. I went to Queenstown once just to see why they put a traffic jam in a nice scenic part of the world. Couldn't see why they did. Would have been better off not built. I go to Te Anau instead!

About the sleeping bag though - real pain in the arse things on sportsbikes. Mine abandoned me on a corner coming home from the Vincent County rally last year. Bugger. It went down a gully after jumping off the bike. Problem solved though eh?

Scared of the cold.

My sleeping bag when it is in it's compression sack fits into a bread bag, but then it is a WARM weather sleping bag.

**yungatart** · 14th October 2008, 07:24

Don't roll the sleeping bag up to put it in...it is a stuff sack...so stuff it in! Start at one end and just push it in a little bit at a time till Voila! It all fits!

It's only cold in the winter, so you could move there, and escape when the first snow falls.
I could quite happily live in central Otago, but not necessarily Queenstown. Mebbe camping on Scumdog's patch would be the go...

**sunhuntin** · 14th October 2008, 07:34

ive never really had much trouble with that... however, trying to stuff two zipped together sleeping bags into one sack is a different story. i think i ended up abandoning the sack and tying the bags down as they were and hoping for the best.

This gentleman has issues we should not discuss.

Well thats about it, coi for now.

most mentally challenged people are able to perform those basic tasks, with enough practice, you too will be able to put a sleeping bag in its cover and pour a cup of tea.

The hardest part is discrimination, dont let it put you down and keep on trying!
