You can 1/2 fill a 120L but can’t over-fill a 70L

Helps to narrow down the answers by having your State in your profile info. If in NSW - https://www.police.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0003/131178/Safe_Storage_Level_One_-_FACT_Sheet.pdf It includes “receptacle should be mounted flush with the floor and/or wall.” This is to help prevent it from being pried loose. The cops also have to be able to access it to determine compliance. -
Balltearer, you have the materials so have a look at a few basic knife tutorials & Knick one up yourself. It’s really not that hard & it will be so much more rewarding to use a knife you finished off yourself. I have a few of these blade blanks waiting for when I have some free time.
-
Duncs, you’ll have to decide if the effort is worth the reward. Personally, I’d probably just throw it in the tool box & use it as a utility knife. I’ve never been a fan of either tanto style or partially serrated blades.

It has been a while. FarmGirl got that one. One of best looking knives I've made. How's your re-handled skinner going?

I'm sure the label just said "Big Girl's Blouse"

As Jindy said, antler is bone while buffalo, goat & sheep horn are essentially hair.
-
Black Wolf McKinley 85l is a great pack
-
For rabbits I don't really have a 'favourite'. Just whatever I have on me at the time. If you are processing a lot of them at one time, a cleaver or hatchet are handy to remove the heads & feet
-
One of those is on my wish list too. Better deals are available although this one doesn't have the extension tube, you can pick one up for $10 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Olight-M2X-UT-Javelot-CREE-1020-Lum-XM-L2-LED-Brightness-Flashlight-Hunting-Pack-/262714239344?epid=1047549873&hash=item3d2afd2970:g:pTQAAOSwKOJYJVCe

That's not a sat phone. It's a GPS messenger. Some of these require expensive subscription services. what do you want the unit to do?

Nice work. For me a bowie is a bit unnecessary for hunting. There's not much you can't do with a smaller, lighter knife. Having said that, there's something very manly about a bowie. I have a huge blade in the cupboard waiting for a handle & sheath... one day....
-
Got one of those - good bit of kit.
-
Depends how much room you want... Black Wolf Mantis UL 2 (1.8kg). I have a UL 1 - it's cosy but light & compact https://www.snowys.com.au/mantis-ul-2-hiking-tent Take a light-weight fly to cover your pack.
-
Just ordered an S4. I hope they are good Duncs - for your sake
-
That one looks good, Duncs
-
I use a harness but not a pack - just can't justify the expense.
-
I'd go with a smallish fixed blade. I've never used a folder for hunting - just my preference. Another vote for the lansky system for sharpening and either a small steel or very fine diamond sharpener for touching it up in the field.
-
If you want to store 7 scoped rifles, I suggest you look at a 12 gun safe. They never hold as many as they say they do as they use un-scoped lever-actions to assess capacity. A bit of extra room also means your not banging them around getting them in & out of the safe. As for ammo storage - check with the WA registry. WA has a few firearms regs that are different from other states.

I use the awning sidewalls & front panel - all you need for extended trips such as 10 days in the 'Gatta. The 300 is big & heavy enough without the extras (26kg + sides & front)
-
Cheaper to throw a tarp up if needed. If you didn't need the centre pole where the two awnings meet, it might be worth a look. In wet weather, the 300 is a good size for 1-2 people with the side walls. With a basic kitchen set up inside there's just enough space for two camp chairs.
-
I have a BW Turbo 300 - great tent. Plenty of room inside - my only complaint is the annex is a bit small. Quality stuff though.
-
They should all be 80 channel these days.

My old radio was cactus at the Gatta this year. Bought a set of these to replace. First test will be hunting this weekend. http://www.prestigecom.net.au/uniden-uh850s-tradies-pack-5w-uhf-cb-waterproof-deluxe-handheld-radio-pack

Disapppointed With Garmin Support For Rino 650 Uhf Gps
gafloss replied to Alf's topic in GPS and Navigation
The static/noise is the unit transmitting the gps info. It's horrible for anyone on the same channel. That's why some folks get really upset with Rhino users.
