The medical stuff
So I completed my remote area first aid course with St Johns in March, and made a list of every thing I would need, then went to the Dr and asked what he thought I should take. It looks a bit like this
this one on the cart and would be better suited for a bus crash
this one is going in my back pack and can be seen as my daily use stuff
and my basic first aid stuff. Yes Katrina that is a snake bandage.
Navigation stuff comes next 1:2500000 series maps of the whole of the Simpson Desert, so this is 6 of them on my dining room table in total there is 9. Plus a Hema 1:12500000 of the Simpson and a what is the worst guide map I have seen it changes orientation from page to page (this may well get left behind) Had a little laugh when I looked more closely at this pic yep that is a Christmas tree, that's when I first got the set of maps and planning began.
Now the repair kit, At least 1 spare nut and bolt for each nut and bolt on the cart, enough puncture repair kits hopefully to get me through
2 spare tubes and a spare tyre, sewing kit just incase I get bored, Sat phone , Spot messenger and stobe light. The observant ones of you would be saying where is his EPIRB or PLB(personel laocation beacon) I checked the dates on the batteries only last week and it was a yeaar out of date so for $199 the people at Garmin will service and replace the batteries.
A few boring things cooking kit , blue tooth speaker, and then the fun stuff sling shot, monocular and my trusty leatherman. Those of you who know me and knw i can make fire just about out of anything would be wondering what the box of jiffies are doing in the pic , I'm just going to take a few just incase its really wet.
camp mat and sleeping bag and the other funny looking bag no it's not my shoes but is a
Helinox chair, nice at just 900gm and easy to set up.
this is my battery box. 9.6amp/hr battery controller and connects straight to solar panel.
