Malt 379 Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Like the ingenuity, plus if you get chilly over the winter while you're out you'll be able to stop for a brew.. Also handy for giving the wife a clonk if she starts moaning about you going out with the dogs again on windy nights... its funny what we can come up with at times to get us out the shit you can always heat up a boil in the bag ready meal if you out for the night and get peckish You just got that in there before me!
