Here we are, more of a view of the scenery though, sorry about that. Just say the word and I will delete it from your thread...

This was my view while I was shaving....

No mirrors guys?

I had a small mirror in my tent. Didn't take a picture of it however!

That funny little silver thing on the low stool in my pic...Although on that day I was ready to toss it down the paddock, I ended up just shaving by feel and checking for missed spots afterwards. There weren't any.

Oppps. for some reason I had mistaken that for a note pad ....
A couple of really beautiful spots there,

That's easy enough to do, now that you mentioned it. But that's my little leather bound mirror, that was being battered too much by the breeze that day. I didn't have a handy nail sticking out anywhere to hang it. Just some bailing twine.


Mick

I was going to say you need somewhere to hang it...

I've been thinking (now it's camping weather) firstly IF I'll shave while camping (and the photos here tell me it'll be a GOOD idea) and secondly what to take...I was going to buy the TI travel box thing, but it was too expensive really. Good idea though...

But a piece of stiff wire might be able to act as a mirror holder stand; and not take up too much room in a pack. It could also double as a 'Wait'. Now I'm going to take the time to tell you what a 'Wait' is...(and I shall digress from shaving but remain On Topic on camping).

Many years ago (5?) I was camping at Deep Creek Conservation Park (photo below) with my sons. We decided we needed a coat hanger for marshmallow toasting before we left; and had packed one. Over the course of several nights where we found we needed to say "Can you get the marshmallow toasting thing?" or "Have you seen the coat hanger marshmallow thing" we (I) decided it needed a name.

So I Explained the dilemma to my son and said, "Aaron", you've got ten seconds, the next word you say will be the name of the marshmallow thingy, 10, 9, 8 7, 6..."

So, (you've guessed it) panicked, he stammers, "wait wait wait!!!".....
