He won't have coffee at least not by the coffee maker lol. Just a thought they do have the smaller coffee makers for like $10. They will make 2 to 4 cups depending on which one you get, they work just fine, then you can leave that one in your camping stuff and not have to worry about it. KEEP ADVENTURING GOD BLESS YOU

Beautiful site, the Ruru (Morepork) night sound very soothing. Awhile back the family and I were camping Melbourne VIC in the bush we were all woken up by a sound I can only describe as the "Devil " himself snorting fire out his nostrils in the darkness. We all stayed up that night in front of our fire with torches and me clutching onto my axe. I asked a neighbour the next morning if he heard the screaming sound coming out of the bush, he casually replied "yeeeaah maaate eeit was a Kwaaala love cry" My kids will only camp at Caravan parks 😂😂

It's okay in wind and rain if all the guy lines are taut, but a larger tarp (wider) would be better I think as it would be nice to have more cover when the rain is side on, and then I could bring the sides of the tarp down more without giving up the room underneath it. It is a good compromise though, for someone like me who has light gear for hiking and only car camps occasionally.
