Loafers are fine quality leather slip on shoes, usually with gold trim or leather tassles. Had a pair (given to me) back in the 80's but tore the side out of one when I got it caught on the side of a pallet in the warehouse. Been wearing RM's ever since!

No thanks mate, VB = errrrr It is little wonder CuB are keen to give it away, I mean who would want to buy it.

I don't really drink that much anyway. Two or three and I end up like NK at a campfire.....asleep.

[Pipeliner]

So there ARE people who actually drink this VB stuff you keep talking about - strange!  Still, I suppose it's adequate as long as you pour it down so quickly that you can't taste it - and after the tenth one you probably can't tell the difference between VB and a proper beer anyway.

Personaly I reckon beer generally is horse piss but my bro in law loves the stuff. Drinks it like it's going out of fashion.. Well not all beer actualy. Even with his beer fetish he won't touch that VB garbage

Just as well I brought Wild Turkey mixers around that day I dropped by Joff.

so this is what happens when your thread gets taken over by piss heads ha ha

[Snow]

Sorry Tommo, I'll get it back on track mate.

Stubbie coolers.... at least take two.

[westvic]

Most of the place is we go to our beach for a trip.. We make sure that we bring binoculars, camera, shirts, foods, sun burns cream,knife, fruits, and others. We ensure that we do not forget any important stuffs.

Sorry to bring this thread back to something less important but...

we try to take some silver bandage - you can get it from a good chemist but it costs a fair bit ($30 - $50) for an A5 piece.
Our 2 yr old badly burnt her arm when she was 15 months and this is the stuff the royal children's hospital used for it. Absolutely fantastic and can be used on basically every burn, graze etc and it will heal virtually scar-less. It needs soaking in (very clean if not sterile) water before application, then wrapped in cling wrap afterwards. Various neighbouring campers have used our stash so maybe we should start selling with a markup!

Good point about the First Aid Kit, but think about your needs and what you might have to deal with... and that might mean you need to do a first aid course.   One tip: after you discard the first layer off the roll, GladWrap is sterile and makes a good dressing on its own for burns, especially the ones too large for the non-stick dressings you find in most first aid kits.   These wont be larger than 10cm.
Silver is anti-bacterial but as FlyingBushPig says, is expensive.   $50 is more than most people spend on their entire first aid kit!   At that price it's too tempting to cut a piece off your A5 sheet and keep the rest for later....maybe next year's trip?  At which time it will no longer be sterile and you may introduce infection rather than prevent it.   
Another point, people expect a lot more from you when they pay money.   If you sell them something (even to cover your costs but more so with a mark-up) you run the risk of being sued when they don't get the promised result.

I'm still having a laugh at the beer talk!!
I've always got the stubbie holders in the car but come home with more as I can't help myself, I usually try to use the one I just bought when drinking cause then I can look at it and remember where I am.

          dont worry where you are  ,, its can you get a refill soon enough to keep your self hydrated to the correct level . i myself cant read upside down so it dosent matter whats written on the cooler dose it ?

It's ok, I was kidding about the selling part. We've been grateful that someone could benefit from it. One of the people we helped was trying to deal with a bad graze. I think the silver really allowed them to continue their trip which was nice.

Patr80l, have you got a thread or some pics up of your truck? I lived in the Basin for the last year so I've probably seen you about.

Hi, My truck is a white 2006 GU 3.0TDI.   Not the sort to stand out in traffic!

Ok, I don't stand out much either yet...


Don't think I mentioned: for those who are still using 20 litre water drums, get a spare lid and drill it out (Bunnings). Insert caravan pump style tap ($20) - makes life so much easier.

[I detect]

Spare stubby holders,a tube of Silverzine and a tube of Butesin Picrate,and dont forget the Aerogard.

The Butesin Picrate is a must  

PS:- dont forget the Tea Tree oil.

PPS:- Dont put silverzine on and then go out in the sun,It's full of silver and goes black in the sunlight!But being an ex-B/maker welder it stops the sting instantly,you may need a doctors script ( well worth the hassle believe me on this one ) this is for real burns,not sunburn,it bloody works,if you touch a hot exhaust for instance this stuff stops the pain in a minute and no scar!
