"The main areas I’m currently thinking about are suburban camouflage (it’s hard to be the grey man wearing full military camo) and remaining unseen in the bush." I think you will still need two sets for this. Suburbia is best to go grey man style, just average clothes nothing that makes someone look twice. Wearing any form of camo, mil gear etc would make people look twice. In the bush there are some great camo pattern pants and shirts that will easily blend you in to the background. You could get a camo setup which you keep in the pack and just slip it on when going bush and off when you come out. I bought some 5.11 pants and shirts when I went to Africa. No longer the ideal grey man around town but its not screaming camo or mil gear. Also in the bush not as good as camo but better than normal clothes and it blends in much better at a slight distance. Possibly a compromise if you didn't want to be changing clothes. On the plus side the 5.11 gear is good quality and I really like those Strkye pants now

You guessed it mostly. OAL is the requirement. 750 in QLD and 650 for NSW which is why they are so compact. There are other minor requirements that needed to be met also. Most of these conversions have fallen out of favour as police are claiming they make it look substantially like a military firearm.

The chargers are definitely accurate.
When mine was still in its kit as above I could fire of 10rd's almost as fast I could fire the trigger and keep them all in a group less than the size of an average fist at 25yards. That is standing using the red dot. Plus mine had the barrel shortened to 7" Slow fire and that setup did 5-10c piece size easy with cheap ammo.

Just another good reason to reload. I don't think I've been bothered by the regulation change yet

In America its quite big with firearms owners, some of these people are likely also preppers. Not sure I'd directly associate it with preppers though.

They need to give the Chinese a boot up the backside and get the new power station they are building in Botswana up and running properly. Its a, relatively, massive station located quite close to the old one and it totally dwarfs it at about 4x the output capacity when they get it fully online.
Having daily power outages for a few hours was a pain in the butt as on the one day I was back in "civilization" after a week in the Kalahari I really wanted to charge batteries, edit photos and check emails before heading back off for a few weeks.
Luckily we had plenty of power via the 4x4 battery setup to charge stuff but I was really looking forward to relaxing on the lappy, checking some emails and an hour or so of web surfing.
Definitely one of the last places to be with a widespread longer duration power outage. Especially since a lot of the medium to higher end housing relies on living in compounds with electric fences for security.

I use Aqua Health Super 700 (pool chlorine). Any 65% or 70% pool chlorine should do the trick, as long as it isn't stabilised. Thanks mate. I'm going to do some more research on it, how much to use to treat the water mainly & the process, then I'll probably switch over from bleach.

2x 250L drums with a cut downpipe above them if need be for resupply small ceramtic pump filter 2kg of pool shock, enough for about a VERY long time Hey Shinester, Whats the pool shock for? Instead of bleach I'm guessing. Seems it has a far greater shelf life, time to ditch the bleach I think.

Morning all,
I though we could discuss what we have for water filtration/purification and what we plan on having.
My current supplies include
- 1x Katadyn pocket water filter - 2x Sawyer Mini Water Filters - 3x Life straws - Several packets of tablets - 1x SteriPEN Classic UV water purifier - Plain bleach
Planning to add in the next few months - Another Katadyn Pocket - 2x Spare filters for the Kataydn Pocket - Some more Sawyer Mini filters, I like the point one system to convert a bucket into a gravity fed filter. - Another SteriPEN - A SteriPEN Sidewinder hand powered UV water purifier

So 99% of all people most likely. Unless you're a gay feminist member of the communist party... Bet this one would catch them though "30. Anyone that “complains about bias” "
