Waste of a very nice body to get it in that (lack of) colour.

The only colour issue is the STS tarp!
As for the car, Matt grey with vertical stripes would do too.

PS it's 11yo under 100K for a quarter of new price. Or 1/8-1/16 of a Bentley

Emptied boot today and refined pantry items, ready to roll out.

Flogging a Bentley Sports down a dirt track to get to the trail head...

You'd be the Bunker Spreckels of bushwalking

Found a FB group called Birds of Oz, loads of great photos from members, worth a look!

Anyone planning on getting married?
Kathmandu has just brought out a goretex wedding dress for April fools.

Anyone come across any April 1st products today?

The plastic handle came off my modified steak knife, now its UL!

Also good as a bread knife.

Funny how the Yanks trademark "Ugg", no dramas. An American company calling themselves "Ugg Australia" no less. But when it hits home...

Suck it up, they've been playing this game on the rest of the World for ages.

Wonder when they're going to hit overseas companies, such as the UnZud meal makers?

Apology letter from Backcountry. Don't know if they mean it or not but it does show not sucking it up and getting angry can make a difference

How good is the Bureau of Meterology forcast!

Helps me on an almost daily basis to choose camp and angle of my shelter, or to book in somewhere/go stay at a mates place.

The last few years I take any rain forecast with a grain of salt, but wind changes and temps are spot on.

Another good weather app is yr.no

Im a big fan of the green hue of bushwalk dot com!

I've always been undecided about the hue, even after using this wonderful site for many a year. But at least I know at a cursory glance which tab is open.

I'm decidedly hostile towards people who believe that white text on a black background is effective.

Um, back to serious issues . . .

Note to self, download something... before going off range.

Full moon tomorrow Sunday 5 July.
Moonrise 4:56pm EST. About the same time as sunset.

Sunrise and sunset can be cool but, I've seen a few.

Hilarious. Wouldn't it be great if rubbish was mailed back to everyone that left it. Nasty paper flowers and all.

[Deleted] so I got Root Canal therapy on one of my teeth and on the way home, I thought getting a bottle of Scotch would be a good idea. It worked well as a pain killer and I did get a sleep in but probably wasn't a great idea.

So which was the most painful - the procedure or the bill at the end ?

I was warned about the price, $2500!!! There doesn't seem to be such a thing as cheap dentistry. There's get it done for less and then pay again to get it done properly. Or hand over your childrens inheritance and get it done right the first time.

How are the Bogong moths this year, many about?

[Lamont]

They're back-of a sort. Phil looks happy to pick up the sticks. Keep him out of trouble I s'pose.

Anyone like tardigrades, the worlds toughest animal?

I wish I was a Tardigrade. Otherwise, I don't have enough stamina on long hikes and walks. But seriously, tardigrades will survive even in space.

Funny. I'm always seeing photos of nice ultralight backpacks, with the stretch mesh pockets chockablock with stuff.

Haha, guilty as charged because it would sit a lot better closer to your back.

I try and carry only my PLB and headlamp in the back pocket. But sometimes my snack and my wet weather gear and a hip flask and...

Maybe the thru-hikers bear barrels take up half the main volume!

Well how about that. Loading for February it looks like I have unintentionally amassed a UL kit. Complete with three options that make numerous games and skill development. Just add backpack, shelter, foamie and spare clothes.

Yep I've been a guide for a few years now.
Edit, a variety of tents and backpacks to choose from

That's one heck of a First-Aide container; does it float?
