So... good time for some camp remodelling. I start off by moving the washing table. This is a bit more complicated than it sounds, as its legs are dug into the ground. The table was standing out in the rain and we moved it under a little roof. Next - set the sails! We have tarps to protect the open sides of the house when it rains. But what if, instead of just hanging them, we span them out a bit inclined, with a little "v" shape in the middle, so we can collect rain water?! We make an ingenious construction with a funnel and a bamboo stick, a rope that goes through it and a little stick at the end of it to lead it all straight into a big barrel.

And, there you go. We were hardly finished when it started raining. As we continued working on our little draining channels, the water just kept flowing in. In less then 2 hours we had collected 800 litres!
