Haha yeah seems weird. I sleep a lot better when it's deadly quiet. I've had numerous experiences with wind, rain, noise, mates keeping me awake. Earplugs sort this out

I can sleep through everything except a Happy set
Happen to my old man once. got back to his hut after a few days leave to find a possum making a meal of his condensed milk and porridge on top of his down sleeping bag.
Well when he walked in he was a mite unhappy and said possum decamped to the safety of the cast iron pot belly stove.
Now Dad was more than a bit pissed off and by his own admission probably not thinking too straight grabbed the first think which came to hand, an old 12 gauge, poked it in the door and let him have it.
Dad tells me hindsight is a wonderful thing but that possum was not going to foul up his sleeping bag ever again.

yes I have had them in my fly and a headhog in our tent once. funny shit was we thought it was a mouse and one of the guys was jumping around in bare feet trying to squash this dam mouse. He was dam pleased he did not get it when we put a light on and found a headhog.
Hope you were on top Gibo, much more manly!:O_O:
you can go to any local jail and collect such an education9aussie /criminal type).hope you reminded the queensland dingo shaggers re nzs favourite possum tucker 1080:pacman:
sounds like you encountered another freedom camper -probably one who shits in the woods too;)
Haha when staying at my dads in Brisbane about 12 years ago we had a possum hanging around in the trees so I took to it and smacked it between the eyes with a stone which made it roll over. Was so proud of myself I showed dad who promptly panicked and made me Bury it incase his Australian spouse and her children saw it hahaha
Now, nobody knows who I am in real life (go in disguise without my mask) so I can share with the group the time we flew into West Coast valley with no foot exit, high snow mountains all around and back in those days there were keas ... Well, returning from a day of gold panning and looking around for chamois, keas had pecked holes through all our tents round the hoops. We managed with a pre dawn to after dark kea watch and stack of snowballs, fortunate good weather and help from MacPac who had a repair shop in those days. Pretty much like Flyblowns experience in Oz so don't laugh if its a protected animal and don't feed the keas !
As far as I know, twin needle are the only gear fixers in the country at present. Expensive but Highly recommended.
Second twin needle, Did a dam fine job of fixing my down bag last year, added an extra 200 gr down and repairs some baffles.
Washed, cleaned, and used water repellent on the down.
Probably a 1/3 the cost of a new bag.
My wife decided to be nice to me one day and wash my down bag for me. Ever since each year it had been getting colder and colder on the chest area.
She probably wanted to be in it with you. Could be worse.
l id love to get hold of a stinking snarling old buck jacko or two and let em go in parlaiment or at a green party conference
-the penalties(if any ,most would see the joke) involved would be just compensation for the best laugh a bloke could have with his strides on!
