Jay, no problems mate, thanks for posting, it looks great.
That rocket stove looks grouse, well done! although, is the dome shape more of a wok than a flat pan for cooking or are you putting a pan on the outlet?
Also, can the top allow and extension for exhausting if you were to use that in a smaller enclosed area specific for heating the room?

Good one. I would imagine that if you had a source of clay you could even fasten one also. Plenty of clay out my way, just bring your shovel lol

Imho head to good aussie disposal stores and try on ex army stuff.
I have two ex dutch camo ponchos, i was out at bonnidoon (oh the serenity lol) on a block where it was slightly raining. I sat on a log on a trail with my poncho on and 4 motorbikes rode past me literally touching me and had no idea i was a person lol.
They are heavier duty but cover well and a heavy pack. They can be doubled as rain gear and or makeshift meat carriers as well.
I also have ex dutch army gortex. Please be aware, gortex lost its patent years back and theres plenty of claimed 'gortex' which is rubbish. Good gortex should breath as well as keep you dry for at least 10 days of heavy rain before it lets water in. Ex army older stuff is the best ive ever found yet and the price is always really cheap compared. Plus, reinforced stitching, heavy zippers and more.
The other issue is mate, your not a small fella, its best to try gear on so that it fits you perfectly.

Thanks Shiny, good criticism of it there, i had not scrutinized the idea as i wasnt in the market for such because of dry heat out our way and larger quantity ways to get water. It will be interesting to see what if anything comes from these. Ive also seen home units somewhere, but not sure now if they were in the making or out there.

I have a friend who doesnt drink at all but wanted to follow a specific food recipe which needed a liquor of some sort. She went to a bottle o and bought it with cash and later received an email trying to sell her liquor from another organization. She had used her flybuys card for points, and somehow they had shared the email they have on file from such with these other orgs, that quick!
There are 3 groups after something from you in general. 1. The Government for mass surveillance 2. Google, Faceplant and the likes for selling you stuff 3. Hackers for robbing you of something.

One Sunday at church 300 folk can be heard singing hymns in church when satan suddenly appeared at the pulpit.
Folk started screaming and running over one another heading for the exits and when it was all over in a flurry there sat an old man, lifeless, without any expression of interest, arms folded in the 3 row.
Satan looked at him with interest and asked 'do you know who i am?' The man replied 'yep, sure do'.
Satan asked 'and your not afraid of me?' The man replied 'nope'.
Satan then proceeded to set the curtains and carpet of the church on fire with the wave of his hands, flames drew high up the walls but the man still sat there with the same lifeless uninterested expression, not even a flinch.
Satan asked him 'are you not afraid of what ive just done?' the man replied 'nope'.
Satan then proceeded to scream with the most horrifying screams of murderous terror and rage, sounds that were out of this world and would blow eardrums to pieces, the walls shook and the windows cracked under such terror'
But the man still sat there with the same dull uninterested look, arms folded and not even a flinch.
Satan asked the man, 'are you not afraid of even this that i have done?' The man replied with eyes rolling and a sigh 'nope'.
Then satan enraged began to point to items in the church everywhere, including bench seats and throw then at the walls of the church, hurling things into each other in mid flight, oh what a terrible noise, and mess and carnage it was, yet the man didnt budge an inch.
Satan was shocked, he needed to know how this man had such resolve, how he could sit there lifeless as if this all was nothing, so desperately he asked the man, 'how is it that your not afraid of me?'
To this the man replied 'been married to your sister for 50 years!'

I havent seen that exact one, but ive seen others, inside home units and water bottles. The tech really is getting better these days and water is the very beginning of prepping imo.
