Information for bushwalkers from bushwalkers

Bushwalking gear and paraphernalia. Electronic gadget topics (inc. GPS, PLB, chargers) belong in the 'Techno Babble' sub-forum.

TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Haha not old ones! Vet hospitals also use them for urine samples, but also sometimes for histopathology samples.

They should be inexpensive and maybe even free. Just ask for a urine container.

Yes, pharmacy at 70c each, or just explain to your GP that you'd like 10 urine jars if possible for a bushwalking trip - we get them free from the pathology companies.

They don't appear on the websites of pharmacies here in California.
And I try best not to visit my GP very often even though he's a great guy.

I'll have to stop in at a pharmacy next time I'm in Australia, which is pretty soon actually.
Are there specific pharmacies that carry them? I want the ones with the scoop! :-)

We like to pop popcorn and so we pack small amounts of oil.
Our upcoming trip has two parts, so we have two bottles:

These containers have both proven to be reliable for oil in the past. Not too bad to load with oil but filling them with any sort of paste (e.g. pesto) is a really unpleasant, messy ordeal.


And I still want one of those poop sample containers.
