Title: Who will be carry a chainsaw and welding equipment !!
Post by: McGirr on January 11, 2012, 06:00:23 PM
Last trip Symon and  Duggie " the chainsaw whisperer"  carried chainsaws and I think J.K or Yogi had a welding kit. Please let me know who will be taking either or both.

With the number of generators in the group I may get Symon to set up a sub station in the back of his cruiser...

Was planning to take the 12v welding kit again along with my EU20 Honda, it won't hurt to have a few welding kits spread through out the convoy as not everyone is in one place at a given time so spreading out some of our resources could be a good thing. Will also have my two burner BBQ again so others are welcome to join in the cook ups at any time.

Was NOT planning on taking the chain saw, mine is not as good as Guggie's, his doubles as a trench digger as well  :cup: , but mine only cuts wood  :-[

We will most likely be taking the 2kVA generator, chainsaw and have finally taken the hint to carry a welder with a grinder

Anyone,

As I don't have a gene or chainsaw, how much unleaded would be required to exchange for power to run 2 small fridges (31 and 39 litre) and a battery charger.(Hint)

I've got 2 x 25 metre extension leads if needed.

I'll be available any time for 1 of your cookups, JK. Just let me know when and what to bring.

It looks like everything is covered.  I have a 6.5 kVa gen set, a Lincoln MIG welder and a small 14" chainsaw.  Don't camp near people, and use the gennie only when I have to.  Good to know there is another boilermaker, I won't be called on for anything.

I'll have mine, which includes the custom made welding mask from the last trip.  Wouldn't leave home without it.
