Well, it is big and heavy but for car camping it works. I usually share with my wife and our dog and if we are weekend camping or longer it's nice not to be cramped. I also have a nice Sierra Designs 2 person if I decide to hit a trail.

I also store all my tents and sleeping bags in the house in cotton bags that allow breathability so it should last at least another 10-15 years!

It's Mav's birthday today and as per usual, I made his cake.

Here it is in all it's glory (except the candles aren't on yet)

charmeleon is just rolled out plastic icing (that stuff wedding cakes are usually iced with) which I then cut the shape out of and then coloured in with a brush and food colouring. After I iced the cake with some butter frosting, I then simply plopped my artwork onto the cake. The rainbow stuff is just coloured sprinkles. I figured these types of creatures always seem to be standing on weird stuff, so I figured rainbow grass would be ok.

The idea is to light the candles and it looks like the character is breathing fire.
