    Aus Spit

    Next time you travelling through mate yell out and il hook ya up with some meat from where i used to work, Looks like you could have cooked a boot on that and it wuold have turned out good, my mouth is watering
  2. 1 wave, 1 super tool and 2 of the old girls cant remember what they were called, You will find that many uses for it you will feel nude when you dont have it. if i didn't use it several times a day i would be surprised
  3. Sorry i stand corrected they are in the box you showed mate, the ones i saw were older ones, i have just picked up some and put them in Fizza's spotlight with scratched and #### lense in it and they made a big difference, The thing to look for is that they have the HLX written on the GLOBE base.
  4. NO thta is not the globe, the one im talking comes in an orange and white box not blue and white, It will have HLX written in the bottom of the globe aswell, This bloke has been using his for around two years so i wouldnt worry bout life length to much
  5. Ask some electricions where they get ther supplies from and check there, I cant tell ya where i get mine as it may not be real good for my career
  6. The Details are. OSRAM xenophot HLX Part numbers HLX 64625 FCR 12v 100w It will be a white and orange box compared to a normal OSRAM box which is blue and and white, The globe must have HLX written on the bottom of it. Good luck finding em and let us know what you think of em if you give them a whirl.
  7. I agree with what you have said and it may all be well and good, All i know is this was one bright light!!!!! have tried the filters but they reduce the range of your light so not much good for us as the places we hunt the foxs are pretty flighty and wont let you get real close so we need to see em early and work out a good plan of attack. Cant find where it was written down at work but have a few of these on order they may take a while to rock up but will post some details when they arive
  8. i will be back at work on wedensday and will get the part numbers off the box and post em up here.
  9. Nah was pretty much the same, But it was only a couple of degrees outside so i dont reckon anything would have got to hot, The light appears to be alot whiter than a normal globe Pm Sent.
  10. The light was very bright indeed the lense was in as new condition so didnt have a comparable one as the 240 we use has done a bit of work. Not sure if it was a little to bright for foxs but as they were hard to get to sit. i will have the part numbers on wedensday for those interested.
  11. Have been told by a mate that he has replaced the globe in his lightforce SL240 wiht a xenon gas globe, He claims to have compared it next to a night eater which the light force outperformed by a fair margin (Standard it does not). I will be conducting a feild trial (Yippie Shoot) tomorow night on the local foxs and will let you know how this performs. Has anybody else done this mod and found it to be effective?
  12. i have worn things from ghillie suits to yakka work wear, have found the ghillies the best i can just about hide on my front lawn in it. but they are hard to get hold of out in civvy world. I do have a heap of cam netting in 8ftx8ft lenghts that if you wear cams under it and drap this like a poncho is nearly as good for deer and dogs, just get a face mask and gloves and your away
  13. Well mate i can tell you both Fizza and myself are qualified buttchers (can post trade cert up here if you like) and sharpening a knife is something that you must learn yourself. Like alot of things you can be shown or instructed in the fundamentals but you will come up with a way that works for you, Would love to watch butchers work that cant sharpen a knife the must have arms like popeye. Send em out the abs to tally bone and the will learn to sharpen one I use a fdick dual edge but i see alot of people saying you need stronger and the like?????????????????plz explain i used mine for an average of twenty pigs a week whilst living up north and never had a prob, if you get all silly and try to use it as a sword,can opener,hammer,axe or any other purpose for wich it is not desighned it will not perform as it should, this would not be the knifes fualt but the goose at the end. Grab ya hog, roll him place the knife 4th rib back a and push it in (if its sharp it will go) no need to swing like a phsyco or drive it home with a hammer unless you dont know what your doing or your knife is blunt,
  14. Have lived of " RAT PACKS" for extended periods and would give em a miss, the army ones any way. find they are heavy and pretty much full of crap. Would be beta and chepa to make up your own packs
  15. F-#### pig sticka cant go wrong!

    Sharpning Steel

    Round or oval, square its up to the user what you like best, Any of the popular brands such as fdick are good, try to stay away from the cheap diamond steels as these do more damage than good. if you know a Snap on tools rep ask them about there knife sharpener....... As i work in the meat trade my knives are my income and i tend to stay away from those sharpening devices where you pull the knife through two cutting faces that is ment to sharpen them, most of the time they dont! However i said to the Snap-On man " if that thing sharpens my knives to a standard in happy with and doesnt fluckem i will by one, He gave me one to trial and it is great for in the feild only small and will put a useable edge on your knife in about two strokes. Cost about $30. Very handy
