A bit noisy but the raccoons night time racket would be likely unheard. Also nearby partying campers sounds would be minimized. You are still gonna sweat when you are walking about outside.
One of our troops got hurt when I was in the army. We stopped at the battalion aid station to check on him. This is during the winter on Ft Lewis, WA. It's 40 degrees and a constant mist, if you haven't been there.
Anyhow, we keep hearing a noise that I can't quite figure out.
Over in the corner of the GP large tent, which already has a few stoves going to what feels like 80 degrees in there, we found it. One of the medics has used 100mph tape to join several C-ration boxes into a makeshift ductwork, that ran from a hot air popcorn popper into his sleeping bag.
We were light infantry so we carried everything we needed in our rucksack and lived in head-to-toe gore-tex.
The medics had a huge tent, stoves, generators, cots and fluorescent lights.
What the fuck is wrong with you? You see people camping in a way you disapprove of, and your response isn't to mock them, but to call for their murder by fentanyl overdose? And the deaths of any first responders who report to the scene, because fentanyl doesn't discriminate, and EMTs die to it with alarming frequency? The lethal dose is beyond miniscule, and skin transfer can do it, much less inhaling it. FFS. Touch grass, dude.
We did that in the 80s when we were just starting in outboard racing. Spent all the money on the boat & engine but didn't have enough for a camper so we made a rig like that so we could get some sleep. We weren't the only ones that did it.
That looks like a tropical environment. After 20 years in Florida, I completely understand. I don’t understand people who want to be miserable when they could be reasonably comfortable. I was at JRTC in January once and we had a freak ice storm with temperatures dropping down into the teens. We set up hooches and slept in our fartsacks. The brigade SGM called us a bunch of pussies and said all he needed was a poncho liner. They evacuated him as a hypothermia case the next morning. He looked real manly getting put on that Blackhawk for a couple of days in the rear.
AC while tent camping? HELL YES!
ReplyDeletePeople like that should be shot. Seriously, they're just fucking up the gene pool.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the problem, not getting laid?

ReplyDeleteMixed emotions but pretty clever.
ReplyDeleteFirst rule of camping.
ReplyDeleteNever go camping above 70 degrees!
That's what I think of when someone says they are going camping. Camping? In a $300 K mobile home?

We were not the same.
Sprinkle a little Fentanyl into the AC's intake to make sure the campers sleep tight.

DeleteYou're new here, huh?
DeleteFentanyl's a bit permanent. I'd go with gnats as they're annoyingly more fun.

Just a guess, but that a/c unit would probably take at least a 3500 watt gen set to power, if not a 5kw gen set. Not exactly quiet.
ReplyDeleteYeah, try tent camping in Texas in July. That rig would be great! We finally graduated to a travel trailer just for the A/C at night.
ReplyDeletecamping in July is a contradiction in terms!
DeleteNiece did same, small window unit set into tent doorway, 100 degree day, she was able to sleep.
