CPAP Machine and Camping

Hey guys!

Anyone camp with their CPAP machine?

I'm looking at getting a battery pack (like one pictured) but wonder how much juice they really have. Probably wouldn't plug anything else into it except for the machine and maybe charging phones unless it had plenty of power to spare.

Keen for any recommendations or tips.

Tent ropes

How do you mange tent guy ropes at nights, when I went camp last time we've had small accidents around them multiple times. How to make them visible at nights?

Advice on removing mould from my swag

I've given it a dry scrub to remove excess dry mould spores, and have given it a vinegar/water spray and scrub (honestly a massive pain in the arse but it did pretty well). I will have to let it sit overnight (ran out of daylight ffs) and I am planning on giving it another vinegar/water spray and scrub in the morning and letting it dry in the sun while I'm at work.

Anything else I should do? 🙏

Beginner Camping Tips in Scotland

Hi All,

I’ll be travelling from Sydney to Scotland next Tuesday for a whisky festival on Islay and have decided to camp it out for the week.

It’ll be my first time camping overseas and in general (Ive rocked up in tents pre set up in the past), so I’d love some recommendations on tents and gear that can comfortably handle the following without blowing the budget too much.

  • temperatures around 0–12°C
  • rain/wet conditions
  • coastal winds around 15km/h+ gusts

Since ill be checking it in, luggage size/weight is definitely something I need to consider. Though with 30kg baggage allowance, i should have wiggle room.

Ofc im happy to also invest a bit more in proper gear if i do find myself loving it, as Ive always been meaning to do an Australian west coast and east coast trip for some time now.

I’m176cms tall if that also helps.

Any advice and patience from people experienced with camping in similar conditions would be massively appreciated!

EDIT: I understand this subreddit relates to Australia, but I figured this might be the best place to ask from a community with relatable expertise, As ill be buying the equipment here. Im more than happy to take it down should it be flagged as inappropriate

Hey fellow campers. Im currently building a camper trailer and wondering what size battery or batteries and solar panel you would recommend. Im pretty minimalist with my gear so currently I will only be running a 40l fridge, 12v water pump and 1 or 2 lights. Any help would be awesome.
