Pretty much typical desert camp...... the Irish flag being a visitors welcome notice... assuming your one of the tribe and then you sort of know what to expect.. camp gets made in same spot every year.... theres more people there than you think... a tent or blanket under every tree and bush ..Its like more than a few scenes from "Snatch" ......excessive indulgence, screaming, random violence for entertainment.. communal dinners cooked by whoever was the stay behind during the day... Mikey Boy and Taz rolling around on the ground brawling over something or other... then bestest buddies 5 minutes later.. cause they forgot what the problem was in the first place....
The polite thing to do on your approach is to stay back till your waved into camp or see movement.... You'll know if your welcome or not fast....
You can forget about 911because even during the day it takes an hour to find someone who wants to be found.... at night you won't even find the road.... which is just the way everyone likes it...
Everyone works.... loading trucks, steppin and fetchin, working a spot, making jewlery, gathering sage, making lunches or whatever will generate off the book cash...
Night falls and out comes the weir-wolves who seem to be attracted to the bonfires..I keep gear with me cause I seem to be attracted to bonfires and fit in... Hahahahaha..
During my interview/life biopsy, I was asked if I "could deal with primitive living conditions".. they didn't realise I spent most of my life sleeping on a piece of canvas in good weather. under it in bad or rolled in it when the nights were freezing..
But then primitive is subjective....
I kept my mouth shut when they brought up "primitive" food, cooking and sanitation.. I may do a seminar on primitive living for them...like a week or two inna bush..with half the food they think they need.. and one pot... hahahahaha..
A bag of flour, a bag of rice, a bag of beans, salt and 30 gallons of water...
