I'm sure we had a thread like this before, but I can't find it....
Here's something for our bike packrafters:

And for us ordinary bikepackers, when we get fed up with tarps, tents and bivvy bags one day:

I gave up when they called some people " change makers" with movie voice over man

That caravan is an excellent idea! After my second tarp bivvy induced mozzie savaging I'm in. Great training aid as well, wonder if that new Garmin GPS has a 'caravan towing' mode

This one has the look of a bloke who values the flesh-tone accuracy of his monitor :???:

This one has shades of "The Room":

And the mind just boggles at this one:

Is this one last jolly goodbye before his father (?) pushes the boat off a dock without deploying whatever stabilisers or buoyancy needed with his son (?) lashed to the deck?

Sorry if that's all a bit too much of a view into my "dark place" :???: :lol:

That one got me as well 🤣

So you've got 2m by 1m for two people to allegedly sleep, and your next priority is taking your favourite plant with you 🤣. Presumably there are some dangle mug clips as well...

Is it just me or does she look like she's waiting for him to fall asleep so she can bash him in the face with the plant pot and make her escape?
