Got an invitation in the post today for a one day only VIP discount, for Ray's Outdoors, with a store wide discount of 24 1/2 percent.
Hmmm I said. That equals a smidge under $100 off the cost of a Coleman Hot Water unit.
"NO!" says SHMBO. "We don't need it, You haven't got room to store another gadget and you hardly ever wash whilst camping anyway."
"But", says I, "It's for you dear. Think how quickly I could boil the water for your morning cup of coffee. (whilst you are still in bed)"
"
Well you are up and about
well before I wake up anyway, so you have plenty of time to boil the water."
So folks, I am not about to rush down to Rays and buy one, even at a heavily discounted price:-(
I don't understand a woman's logic. I was only offering to help her.
(Even though it is Me that lights the campfire and heats the water and pours it into the big "crab" bucket for her and checks the battery level of the $25 shower gadget.)
Oh
well.....such is life!

I'd be in on that if it was your money, and not
mine!

It seems to me that she is a very sensible woman (I knew there had to be one somewhere). If you don't really need it, don't take it with you. If you buy all the toys the 4x4/camping/outdoor shops are pushing you will end up broke and will need to be followed by a Road Train to carry all your gear.
Think of it this way ..... how much beer could you carry in the space this thing would take up? Then realise that you can drink that beer, free up the space, but then refill it at the next roadhouse. Work out for, say a three week trip, how much beer that comes to.
