This is a good one to play with, no doubt most of you would enjoy the outside life of camp sites, ie getting drunk with the mates, cooking, sitting there watching the roos try and steal your bread of the camp table, or in the case of the Southern areas them bloody cheeky rabbits, now for the cheap minded like me and Ive been branded the next best thing to a ducks bum for tightness, this helps with bugs that annoy your night activities and finding your way to that favorite tree, grab a few of them stainless path lights from a hardware shop the solar jobs just pop em around your site, good things to have, and them bamboo things with the oil pots u can scam for 5 bux from Bunnings, fill them with citronella, Im a fan of kero lanterns these too can be blended with citronella, anything to keep them little mozzys away, might help someone out lol

All good ideas, but where do you stow all that stuff when mobile? I have a kero lantern for citronella, but I'm looking for a couple of really compact solar lights for the camp. I have them in my garden at the park. Too much light, too many bugs.

The solar lights are Great but when your free camping they mark your camp site to everyone passingthe best to get are the motion solar lights that you can hang on your van plus if anyone comes near your camp they will warn you and when they go off they will scare off unwanted guests.

When I'm on the road working, we usually pull up just on dark and leave just on light. We can't do escorts at night unless it's a special job. I have a couple of trusty torches and a couple of LED lights around my "spare room", which is my camp bed under the awning attached to the side of my Landcruiser. Too much light gives the bugs somewhere to go for their nocturnal mating activities. If I'm not, they can't! I'm now considering a solar sensor light for my camp and the van. The van is parked in a park with lots of street lights, so that's not a serious problem, but I do like to deter the light-fingered Louie's who may go window shopping around the park at night. The go shopping in the daylight as well. I lost a pushbike about 4 weeks ago to someone who obviously needed it more than I did. I wonder what it was worth at Cash Converters?
