Camping in Australia for New Years Eve?

Lexi :]

My friends and i are looking to go camping in south australia for new years eve this year (yes i know, we're planning early!). It will hopefully be a relatively big group of us anywhere from 10-15 or so 20 year olds. We'd probably be looking at somewhere down yorke peninsula, staying for about 5 days. Any ideas of what we will need to organise for this to happen? We've all been camping with school before, and we know the basics, tents etc, but is there anything specific we need for camping in south aust for a relatively large group?
Thanks :)

Answer

wilderness survival training?

Luke W

Interested in survival training, in australia. planning on a bit of a trek/camp on a friends property which is very large and runs onto a little beach. just after some ideas/advice for food/water, things to practice, starting fires, etc.

Answer
You want to focus on Water, Fire, Shelter, Food. I would bring tents, food, a lighter, and water with you so you have it in case you cant do any of the survival techniques. I`d try and get you hands on as many books as possible. Tom Brown has written several excellent survival books. The US army survival manual is also very good. Look online at amazon.com

How to assemble a big family camping tent?

Stella

I have ordered a 8 man family tent at an online store and I wonder how to assemble such a big tent? Will it cost too much time to setup?

Answer
1. Choose a level site that is free of rocks, sticks and other debris. Spread the tent out with the floor side down. Unzip all doors.

2. Extend the tent poles by pulling out each section and inserting it into the metal ferrules. Start in the middle of the pole to reduce tension on the internal string. Set the extended poles aside.

3. Locate the center hub on the center roof of the tent. If it is not already attached to your tent model, attach it with an "s" hook.

4. Take one tent pole and slide it through one of the sleeves on the tent wall. Insert the top of the pole into one of the openings in the center hub. Repeat with the remaining tent poles.

5. Enter the tent and lift the roof by raising the center hub. The roof and tent poles will be off of the ground. One adult stays in the tent while the other works outside. Flex one of the tent poles and place the free end into the metal pin at the base of the tent. The tent pole should follow the seam line of the tent. Repeat with the remaining tent poles.

6. Attach the tent to the tent pole frame. Clip the plastic clips that are sewn to the tent walls to the tent poles. If your tent has Velcro straps instead of clips, attach the Velcro straps to the tent pole frame.

7. Stake down the tent by inserting the tent stakes through the stake loops at each corner of the tent. Pull the tent floor even and tight. Hammer the stakes into the ground at a 45 degree angle.

8. Attach the rain fly. Place the rain fly over the tent. Attach the hooks on the corners of the rain fly to the metal rings on the tent corners. If your rain fly has an additional fly pole, slide it through the sleeve at the edge of the rain fly awning. Insert each pole end into the grommets on each side of the door.
