  2. I have a small folding gas burner, just screws into the top of one of
    those self sealing gas cartriges, never had a problem with it, works
    well at rallys, hot enough to boil water without melting the aluminium
    containers I cook in :)

    That's what I use, together with a small roll of aluminium flashing that
    makes a dandy windbreak.

    9 beers, or half a jar of Stones, seems to do the trick.

    i enquired into building a shed as im renting for the time beaing.

    they said it was fine, if i paid for the shed. but the shed would become the
    property of the owners.

    then they said that the shed would increase the value of the house

    and my rent is based on the value of the house

    so i spend money to build a shed, and i pay more money, sounds like a good
    deal?

    as i also found out after planting a dozen tree's in teh backyard im build
    on an old RTA parking lot, were the back fense was a road, its hard as a
    rock, with a thick clay base, probably spilt diesel and other chemicals all
    around it.

    wonder why nothing grows, that and the hot dry desert i live in., 55
    summers, -6 winters.

    Nah, they're over that already. Turns out that the
    aluminium whassname deposits that have been linked
    with old-timers disease are in a form that technically
    can't happen from cooking with aluminium or drinking
    beer from aluminium cans.

    It's perfectly safe therefore to cook with aluminium
    pans, etc, and you'll not suffer any dodgy side effects
    as a result. It's perfectly safe therefore to cook with

  19. I've got one of these
    http://www.imagine-it.com.au/ausmoto/sbag.jpg
    Packs down very small, very warm (-4° I think, anyway fine for
    mid-winter in Tassie)

    It's a Mountain Designs Travelite 350.

    Just got back from Falls Festival, packing up on the last day, a guy
    walks past and says "you're not really going to get all that onto that
    bike are you?" Told him to come back in twenty minutes, which he did.

    Busa carried a 3 man tent with fly, one of those velour topped double
    airbeds, electric pump to blow up said airbed, sleeping bag, wet
    weather gear, clothes for 4 days, camera bag carrying 1 SLR camera
    with 4 lenses, 1 digital stills camera and 1 video camera (didn't take
    a single shot mind you), battery powered light for tent, battery
    powered fan for tent, reading material for morning before music
    started, two pairs sandshoes, towel, fitted sheet for airbed, fold-up
    pillow for airbed, toiletry bag, fold-up chair. I think that's about
    it for major items. And I still wasn't completely loaded, could have
    taken more.

    Amazing what you can pack on ...

    Cheers
