I should probably invest in a good sleeping bag anyway but I will likely have a ton of people I know down there this year which will be nice. smile


Keep and eye on somewhere like Kathmandu… 2 years back, I got Mr.h0z and I sleeping bags for when we go down the snow.. because the first time we went we stayed in a mates caravan.. ( ask spaz about pats patch..)
I got them, 2 for $200 so $100 each.. the rrp was $350 each.. and they are rated to -30?C and damn they are warm… I ended up in summer pjs with the end of the bag unzipped so my feet were out to cool down.. ( it was around -2/-3 outside..)

Sweet! Other half is a bit of a sook so camping in the cold isn’t about to happen so we’ve found a house in Jindy for the weekend but normally we stay at a mates farm just out of Jindy..

We usually go either jindy inn.. as the owners are this lovely couple and we always chat to them.. and they include breakfast too.. ( its basically a room with a bathroom, and like 1 bunk (2 people) a single bed and a double bed (so 5 people all up.. which is the base for our group ( that ALWAYS goes ). But I have a feeling we will have extras this year.. ( got a few more people into it last year hehe.)

If we have more than the 5 but too few for two rooms, we usually rent a house for the weekend as it works out cheaper,, and we get a house for the longer stints..

Last year we got an awesome place for the 10 nights.. with 10 people.. worked out $5,500 all up.. so $550 each.. which was $50 a night… and it had a lake view, 2 bathrooms 2 car garage,, and heated tile floors through out, except in the bedrooms which were carpeted..  ( but this year its on a 12 month lease.. I was so devo when I saw that)
