colsoop Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Make sure you buy good tent pegs the plastic ones are good. Last years JAE monsoon highlighted the weaknesses of some of the members tent erecting skills I helped to hammer a couple of tents down during said storm !

Really Sh*t mate. the more you can put between you and the ground the better. Roll mats are OK I guess but if you get your hips on a bit of hard ground or a rock in your back you'll not sleep after the booze wears off.
