After many years of camping & refining 'tools' for the oz bush I still dream up new uses for stuff that I take.
Couple or so months ago my older son who had just graduated from uni and I visited oz and I had a chance to take him out and see many of my old haunts and some new as well. 3 1/2 weeks together exploring a sliver of the western oz outback.
Anyhow, I took a bunch of videos and put together a short bit showing one camp spot that is brilliant due to there being a rain water tank there. Water is a precious commodity once out in the desert areas. We recycled a bit of the junk that is out around the tank to make our cooking area a little more civilized.
This location is quite remote and the nearest town is around is about 130 miles away via dirt tracks. Pic of some of the track we drove over to get to this remote spot. This is a spinifex area - it's a very obnoxious desert grass that has caused more than a few vehicle fires.
And here's our camp spot and having some fun making breakfast and collecting firewood.
I know a lot of folk take the kitchen sink with them (we found one at the camp site)
So, what not obvious use do you make of stuff that you take out camping?
cheers,
george.
