Gees, he had a bit of a whinge in Episode 14. Had he worn more appropriate clothing and closed the zipper on the tent fly wire he may have been a little more comfortable.

Yeah, he did but I guess a bit of depression gets to all of us at some point...especially when things aren't going to plan! :-[

Next time though, he needs to remember the Aerogard!  :thumb
