RE: The right stuff

in Outdoors and more2 months ago

It would be such an adventure to go with you off-roading in Australia even going to the least remote that YOU still call 'off-road and (somewhat) remote'. I love the idea but am too well aware of the dangers and thus - nope, not me. I will continue living these adventures through others' pictures, like yours.

Sort:  

I've taken a few people from time to time and most of them enjoyed it. One couple...well, it rained and blew a gale one night and they hated it...she had the idea it was all going to be like the pages of a glossy magazine, but the reality it wasn't even though I did my best to make it as comfortable for them as possible. I had a laugh later, but it took all my strength not to throttle them to death and bury them somewhere at the time. Ok, not really, but it was unpleasant for me too, bloody whingers they were!

Hahaha, that must have been an experience. I hope no friendships were broken over it… Bad weather can make you really, really uncomfortable but - what can you do about it? It’s nature. You have to make the best of it. Whining isn’t going to help anyone.

Nah, no friendships suffered, I was all very gracious about it and tried to make them have the best time possible, but it certainly fucked up my own trip. Lol.

Glad to hear it! The friendship bit I mean not your effed up trip. I'm sure you made up for it another time.

Yeah, I definitely did ..and learned a good lesson, don't bring city slickers to the outback! 🥴
