Holy freak. What if you need to do that midnight leak and forget you're suspended? I'll take my chances with squatch.
ReplyDeleteLike Autumn,I'll take my chances.I like my beer too much and would probably forget I'm up high and fall out.
ReplyDeleteAlthough......taking a leak from way up would be fun...hmmm...nope,I'd get vertigo and fall out anyway;)
250 euros? It's just a tent, and you're trapped. Crazy Germans.
ReplyDeleteThe Latino Bigfoot will think you're a piƱata!
