It is highly unlikely Australia will go nuclear, even more unlikely we'll make nuclear weapons. We've already had the british drop both atomic and hydrogen bombs on us. with regards to pacific, we're sort of in a bad place. China is our biggest economic ally, America is our biggest military ally. mi...

I'd say Isuzu is far more common then Mitsu Fusos, but the caveat there is that a 4x4 Isuzu is virtually non-existent while almost half the fusos I see are 4x4, so for that particular variant going Mitsubishi might be wise. If 2wd is fine then Isuzu all the way. Ivecos are sweet, but I've never act...

Not to mention the extra hassle of having to drive around the U.S. with the steering wheel on the wrong side.

No, Our steering wheel is on the right side you lot just drive on the wrong side.

I'm mainly looking to see how common they are. If they are common vehicles, it means parts would be readily available. Not intending to buy in US, but I want to narrow down vehicle choice

Hi all I'm in the early stages of planning a touring setup to better explore Australia. One of my dreams is to take this vehicle and explore other continents. My vehicle choice is being limited to a light commercial 4x4 truck (Iveco Daily 4x4, Isuzu, Fuso Canter). So the question is simple. how comm...

Why a project bug out vehicle? You’ve already chosen a pretty remote location. If you do big out, why not just have a skilled off road garage built you a couple, before you actually need them, then start on your project vehicles I've had a look at the commerical expedition vehicles. and I don't lik...

I'll play in the hypothetical scenario an aussie can win the US lottery. change over the currency, 900 million becomes 1 264 050 000 AUD - Don't advertise it - Pay of the debts - buy some nice land...somewhere in the Australian alps...about 40 acres should suffice - design and build dream home - par...

Thank you for the advice zXzGrifterzXz, its always great to get feedback from someone in the field. Operational doctrine does not allow SCBA but I'll look into PAPR as I also require a respirator for work (ambulance, in case of a patient with a dangerous pandemic). Thanks

Also have an appointment to get fitted and tested for a full face respirator today. More about this please! The WHYS and the HOWs please. Sounds interesting Needed to get fitted for a respirator for work (as protection against dangerous pandemics) and for volunteer work (dealing with thick smoke in...

Hello all. Recent experiences have taught me the value of having a full face respirator. it will be mainly used to combat smoke inhalation at wildfires. I'm getting tested to ensure I can properly don and doff them. The question is, which brand should i get. I'm looking at the ability to add a 1/2 f...

Serviced the chainsaw, getting ready for cyclone season. Also have an appointment to get fitted and tested for a full face respirator today.

I reload my ammo, 10 reloads per case, batches of 100. but everytime I go to the range i buy a box of factory ammo so I have a supply of ammo which I know will work safely. I shoot the reloads, the factory ammo is kept for emergency use. This allows me to practice my shooting, develop my reloading e...

"If its flooded forget it"

The Queensland Fire and Rescue Service is responsible for all urban fires and rescues in Queensland...the most common rescue was motorists in floodwaters, not fires, not car crashes...people driving through floodwaters.

well, an update.

Just put together 100 rounds, cci primers, 25 grains AR2206, 50 grain Zmax. waiting for a chance to go to the range to test them out

We use a coal-fired boiler at work for hot water (megalitres of hot water at 80 degrees C) one thing you might not be aware of is the startup time, which depending on your setup might be several hours before you can begin to produce electricity. with regards for power supply for 18 months, it might ...

for my local conditions, a machete works well (rocking a 1958 pattern Australian Army Machete) , going south, i switch it out for a saw (chainsaw) and axe because the timber gets bigger the further south you go.

I started prepping with this view of going alone in an 'almost' anarchic environment. Recent events including deployments to areas affected by cyclones have made me rethink this, My preps have shrunk in volume, focusing more on short term relief (three weeks) rather than doomsday scenarios. In addit...

I've had a instant ice pack activate itself, was located in the corner of a trauma bag and got bumped. I've also had one go off, in its box, on a shelf...turns out there was a bad batch.

just bought the UBitx, now currently researching for a matching ATU, I'm looking at mounting the ubitx, ATU, battery and charger into a pelican case, with space for the coax and antenna.

Another question, regarding headspace gauges.

worth it? I'm not being picky at the moment about case dimensions, just wanting to make sure the case will load

I never really understood the whole fancy coffee thing. I also drive a truck, have short hair and a coin purse. It is what you do when you can't make good coffee. I used to work at a 24hr MacDonalds. And constantly had to drag people out of that place. I've been at 24 hr Mcdonalds after SES activat...

I complement the OP on a wonderful first post...never thought about the hot water system. I live in the North of Australia, the tropics and we get cyclones. I aim on having 10L of water per day (cyclone plan) for drinking, washing and cooking. I'm slowly collecting 10L containers to avoid the panic ...

I'm watching this while in western queensland....think tornado alley then turn the heater on. the distinguishing feature is the complete lack of trees, let alone the complete lack of moss for navigation

Here are some things I wish I knew when starting. Get a cheap (used?) single press. If you are buying brass online and/or reloading brass you haven’t shot get small base dies and a case trimmer. Lastly, buy reloading books and see what you shoot and what powders can be used with each cartridge. whi...
