yep. Self propelling beast now.

I like the Swiss steel as it not too hard and you can get a great edge quickly. Downside is that it requires more regular sharpening. i prefer to get an edge quicker as i can't be stuffed spending 20 mins or more scraping hard steel to achieve the same result as softer steel.

Well considering we can only just keep up with the supply of poo tickets, i think maintaining hellfire missile supply would create massive challenges.

Any ADF or military buffs here?

My question is would a shooting war actually succeed? It seems armies have all the gear but how many days of shooting consumables to they have to wage a war? Look at the production and logistics of ww1 and 2 and see the huge quantity of consumables needed to keep it going. I just can’t see a super power shooting war going on for long before ammo and rockets run out. We are not shooting at goat herders this time.

Diverse investments have everything covered and if that's not enough average annual rainfall of 1300mm tops it off. Strategically placed interconnected tanks, bore testing at 8 L/s and a permanent creek with deep sump pools running at approx 1/2 - 1 meg a day during the worst drought in the districts history. It’s average would be about 5-10 meg a day. The dams are ear popping deep, never have run dry and loaded with eels, some bass and a few ducks too. The best thing i did was install an electric jet pump on the biggest dam, yep electric pump, on a dam. It’s about to irrigate an 3/4 acre of market gardens for the missus to manage over the next few months. The best thing is most of this was already here when i bought the place. I just made it awesome with some sensible redesigns of pipework and pump selection.

If i were you I’d built a small pump shed on that pool and lay 1 1/2 inch ag underground to your hut. Better to over engineer your water supply than just get by. It’s bugger all difference in cost. If yer ever needed to get serious out there you’d be able to meet your water demands for a big garden with that setup. Try and keep your fittings buried in a fireproof box if you can, fire can burn your whole pipe out if exposed fittings/taps catch alight. it’ll burn underground no problem too and leave you scratching your head saying wtf. 

let’s talk about our soils next.

A water tank is not a big ticket item. Either you have enough storage or not. Better to sort it out properly or do the last minute rush around with your fingers crossed. In 2020 those things went like hot cakes in my area along with a thousand other items that the masses cottoned on to. No use having million dollar properties and skimp on the smaller detail.

Paracetamol.
Betadine.

I just made a small batch yesterday using round steak and 60 degrees in the fan forced oven for about 7 hrs. Slightly under done but meh! it's all gone so i mist have been ok.

Stop pissing all over another threat with covid crap.
