    Need a real axe

    :ylsmoke: Yeah. Interesting interpretation. You've obviously never been exposed to really bad quality axe handles. Anyhooo......

    Need a real axe

    I drool when you guys discuss axes. I have a choice of wooden handles that break on the first day or heavy reinforced rubber handles that weigh a ton. It sucks. Basically, I cannot buy a fullsize axe. I make do with a small hatchet because the wood handle breaks less easy.

    Freelander

    Even Land Rover themselves reckon that the Freelander is the worst thing they ever did.

    Trail snacks

    A supply of droewors is always good. Lucky for me I have a shop nearby that supplies Kudu, Springbok, and Ostrich droewors. It's much nicer (imho) than the german dried sausages which are nice but only in small doses.

    March weight loss challenge

    I disappeared from the previous monthly challenges because I started shovelling my face instead of losing weight. :Wow1: I absolutely started pigging out. Comments from armchair psychologists welcome :ylsmoke: So I'm going to have to diet in secret so I can pull the wool over my own eyes.

    Check for leaking vacuum pipes. When it's revving high does it change at all when you press the brakes?

    SAR Vehicle Must-Haves..

    Good skid plates were THE best mod that I ever did to my truck. Not just to make the truck more bulletproof. Because of your new peace-of-mind you're not scared of any noises and you and your truck become a way more capable combo.

    SAR Vehicle Must-Haves..

    This just about covers my needs but add two more to the list. 6. Packing space I also need to be able to transport men or equipment at a moments notice so I have a large roofrack and the truck bed is uncluttered so I can load up without any hassle. I sometimes even transport field rescuers on...

    Water bladder maintenance

    I've never used a water bladder but am considering going that route now. Cleanliness has always been the turn-off for me though. How do you keep them clean? Do you just rinse and fill up each time? Is it a consumable that you just chuck away after the umpteenth use? Can a regular camelbak user...

    Neck Braces

    Chris Leatt has spent very many years doing extensive development on those braces. It's the real deal. Very expensive to buy with my local currency though
