Car or tent for getting jiggy festival style? [With poll]

Action are selling busses for $4k.. Mind you other things would make it a bit more expensive than that 🙂

Can i take a teepee ? I’ll even bring a small pool to float it in.

I think the pool will already be provided by nature if the weather prediction is on the money.

Yes, you can probably float down on it all the way back to Canberra!

I know of a group of people who take a special tent for getting jiggy with each other. They sleep in multiple tents but then they have a seperate jiggy tent. There is sometimes a line to use the jiggy tent.

I do not use said tent.

My tent is awesome, My sleeping mats are awesome. So Tent (but my own tent with nobody other than my boyfriend and I in it)

Also people getting jiggy in other peoples tents is bad. people getting jiggy while sharing a tent with other people (other people being woken up by people getting jiggy) is also bad.

and I don’t think we can do more than oral in our cars. 😉

Current vehicles in this household are a Holden Panelvan , Tarago and a Hiace so that’s an easy choice to make.

Although I think I’ll stay home and just use the bedroom instead.

This very question was addressed when my cohorts were frequenting B&S Balls in Queensland in the late 80’s. They realised after some basic experimentation that having a tent rather than a car or ute was a serious deciding factor on whether they were accompanied at the end of the nights.

So four identical three- person dome tents were procured at a not insubstantial outlay. (Cheap tents weren’t common back then as they are now) Eventually they all ended up with inflatable mattresses.

After the next B&S ball, they realised that they had to ensure that their group of tents were individualised somewhat, after an incident which would have gone down well in an Adam Sandler movie.
(Be sure that you AND your date go back into the right tents if nature calls while you’re mildly inebriated… )

After a period of years, this knowledge (and tents) were passed to the group of younger brothers who replicated the results and apparently referred to it as the “Secret of Spinster Navigation”. – Go equipped with a “sextent”

Where is the option for a secluded glade on a picnic blanket at sunset?

Probably behind the heavy rain filled clouds emptying buckets.

There are several pros and cons to consider:

Size – How big is your car (hatch/wagon/van) vrs your tent;

Bedding – nice big comfy double foam mattress on flat ground vrs bumpy folded down seats;

Sound – Anyone wandering past your tent will know what is going on, while a car will muffle all but the most enthusiastic expressions of joy (squeaky suspension not withstanding);

Access – Cars tend to be dryer then tents, *until* you need to get in and out a lot while it is actually raining. Opening doors, putting on and off gumboots, etc can all be better done in a good tent; and

Location – don’t actually know the arrangement at Corin Bank, but does sleeping (or staying awake 😉 ) in your car mean having to walk out to where ever they made you leave your car?

Those gumboots are immaculate.
