I'm single, so i have no trouble with that hehe. But, in saying that. I will be making sure i contact people to let them know where i am and when i will be going back home and things like that

PLB. Where can i purchase one of those?
Crevicing tools, can't believe i forgot that. Thanks.

With a license, I am in NSW and i believe you only need one, if you go into State Forests that you are allowed to fossick in. But i will be purchasing one some time this year. I think it's around $40 for a family 2 adults and 3 children (i have 2 boys) so would be handy to have
 
basic tool box just in case you need to tighten or repair something on the trip bit of tape fast glue vip ties wire etc :Y:
 
Thanks everyone. I didn't even think of cooking utensils. Toilet paper cant go without that. I just have forgotten so many things that are actually pretty obvious. You guys are so helpful :)
 
Yabbie pump
Wrecking bar
Flathead screwdrivers
Long-handled teaspoon (Im sure they have a name for them)
Cheap plastic scoops from Bunnings (one large and one skinny)
6mm clear vinyl tube

What is the wart freeze spray for?
I was told it is used for tics if you get them on youself, instead of removing them with fine tipped tweezers and they should fall off within 24hours.
