I bought also the 5 KW, Chinese diesel heater, and since I installed it quite easy by myself on my caravan (old 16 feet Viscount) I just love using it. I sleep next to it, and, I hear it less than I did hear my electric, forced air heater. Cheap to run and very comfortable, and I payed just...

Hmmm. Great setup. But, how is it on the fuel consumption with permanent 44? I love it, anyway. :)

Well. I like it, and I just ordered one. I'll see what it will be worth in the field. Looks like they will ease restrictions soon. Time to get ready to go back to the fields. :)

And plenty of goldfields in only short distance, too. :)

You need to run the dual battery system always separate from the solar panel, as their charging voltage rates are vastly different, then the charge regulators between them will not agree, and you will land up with lesser charge. The best, cheap, solution is to use manual switch to disconnect an...

I saw so many beautiful "bird fly view" type pics that I thought to buy a dron, too. I see it also as potentially great help tool in the field to check the area for detailed view of the terrain. Can save a lot of unnecessary walking, and time waste, too. That thing could be really great help in...

Here, here mate. Fully agreed.

I just keep away from any doctors, flue shots, and their chemistry. If I get a bit cold I use only my own, herbal remedies. That fixes my asthma and arthritis. So I do best without seeing them. So far, I didn't see any doctor for about 5 years now, and I just keep steady. Not to great, but not...

Just enjoying a bear and trying to figure out what would be the best to do. Stay in Vic and SA on my way to WA next month, or just go straight up to Kalgoorlie. I am deliberating, a bit if to stay for 2 or 3 weeks in Vic at the GT would be, perhaps, a good option? Temps are a lot kinder now than...

Waw! This looks a bit warm Nanjim. :) I checked today the Kalgoorlie weather and it shows a bit cooler. Just 38*C, and next days about 30 or so. At least the BOM applet says so. Kalgoorlie is where I plan to go to next month.

Yep. It is hard. I used to work for Hammersly about 25 years ago. And shifts were 12 hour shifts, as usual in mining industry. :fire:

Yes. They are illegal in NSW. But bows and arrows are legal. Isn't that curious? :)

Yes. I had similar problem, and swapping the power supply cables from factory provided, to heavy ones did a job. DC power has its own specifics, it doesn't like thin cable, as the power runs only over the exterior part of the cable, not over all its dimension as it is the case with AC power. ...

Aldie sold some time ago the jigsaw with quite sizable blades. It looks like for small pieces of wood they ought to be quite good. It is a 20V thing with 6 amp battery. I bought one, just because it was cheap and seemed useful for camping and prospecting in the bush. I intend to use mostly a...

Water stored in desert conditions, rather ought to be treated by some chemicals, or other means, if stored for extended period of time. To get sick from bad water in a bush or desert, far from civilisation is not recommendable. One of the best - if not THE BEST - method of water treatment is...

It's getting too hard to carry all the water from lake or a river or creek, so I use my water shower pump to fill a foldable water container - bought for around $A 120.00 at ebay. It is a 250l capacity, easily portable and taking very little space in a car equivalent of a 250 litre water barrel...
