So-Called 'Experienced Camper' Refuses To Give Up His Electric Toothbrush In The Bush

Local man Luke Hayes who in the past described himself as a distinguished bush bloke has been the subject of scrutiny by the camping community this morning after revealing he can’t camp without his electric toothbrush.

Hayes, who is always the first bloke to volunteer to get the fire going on a camping trip, stumbled into controversial camping territory today when his mates who planned a trip up the coast noticed something unusual in his toiletry bag.

A friend of Hayes, Bruce Connell had this to say.

“Honestly, I thought it was a bit sus that he had a toiletry bag to begin with but then I saw something I couldn’t unsee. Luke was packing a bloody electric toothbrush and the charger on the lads trip.”

When pressed by his mates with accusations that he may have possibly packed his missus bag instead, Hayes doubled down.

“Dental hygiene is super important to me; it doesn’t make you any more of a man just because you brave an analogue toothbrush for a weekend.”

But the damage had already been done, Hayes was mercifully mocked by his mates the entire drive up the coast. Mr Connell suggested that next time the lads should book a spa weekend so Hayes might feel more at home.

When nightfall came the lads couldn’t help but burst into collective hyena styled laughter when they heard that familiar buzzing of the electric wand. Hayes miserably continued brushing but stopped before the brush had concluded its full cycle.

More to come.
