21 September 2010 : Written by A Camping Ninja
After a long time away camping I arrived home, back at the front door for what I pretend is and in my perspective is the way I like to think of it as, a washing turnaround before my next camping trip. As I turned the key in the lock and the door flung open, I dropped my heavy bag down onto the floor with a plop! There's a lot of washing to be done when you're a ninja, believe it or not.
Some people think that because I wear the same ninja head and neck scarves everyday that they literally are the same ones, but they couldn't be more wrong.
In my ninja wardrobe (that I took camping with me and is now ready to be washed) there are precisely:
13 bandanna's (lucky for some)
11 ninja neck scarves
1 ninja knapsack
14 ninja shirts
2 ninja jackets
7 Campingninja t-shirts
4 hoodies
16 ninja trousers and 15 pairs of shorts
37 ninja socks, making 18 pairs and 1 spare (1 was lost in action camping in the New Forest)
3 pairs of ninja boots
1 pair of flip flops
1 pair of trainers
1 lonely Croc
And perhaps contrary to public opinion, being a ninja, some really top secret, highly classified information is that unlike other fighting commandos, ninjas – especially camping ninjas and this one in particular – don't go commando. I own 34 pairs of boxers, but ssh! Keep it a secret. Don't let all the ladies know or it'll ruin my ninja charm!
And now, minus 1 lost Croc, all machine washable items from the list above are waiting to go in the wash. A busy day ahead.
