Hellfire Bushcraft Stainless Steel Campfire Cooking Grate

canvas bag
2 grills

Ive been looking for a lightweight grill to add some versatility to my cooking gear. I looked at several brands but Im not a big fan of titanium unless trying to keep weight to a minimum. I ended up getting the battle box version for the canvas bag. The other brands are selling them with codura or nylon bags. Titanium is also becoming harder to get, many brands disappearing due to the tariffs.

They Are Turning On Anthony Albanese

Albo has been importing and paying for votes from the Muslim and the Jewish lobbyists. Hopefully they vote One Nation. Selling out our country for votes ! He couldn’t support extremists more if he owned a goat and walked around Bondi with a rifle.

Allahbar Allahbar Muslims say when they witness the devil in their presence and you can all guess who the devil is.

The same person restricting gun laws surrounded by armed security. A SIMP is as a SIMP does.

NDIS Providers

As of late 2025, there are
approximately 269,432 active NDIS providers operating across Australia. This number includes a mix of registered and unregistered providers, serving over 760,000 participants. However, some estimates suggest a much smaller number of “registered” providers at around 16,000.

    Active Providers: The total number of active providers (registered + unregistered) is heavily debated, with estimates ranging from roughly 48,000 to over 269,000.
    Registered Providers: As of early 2026, approximately 16,000 providers are registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission.
    Rapid Growth: The sector has seen explosive growth in numbers, with high concentrations in specific urban areas, such as western Sydney.
    Future Changes: From July 2026, registration will become mandatory for certain high-risk services, such as Supported Independent Living (SIL).

These providers support over 760,000 participants in the scheme as of December 2025, with costs exceeding $50 billion annually.

That makes a less than a 3 to1 ratio of providers to clients not workers.

Water filters Im testing

Three water filters Im attempting to test.

The Renovo, Sawyer Micro, Sawyer mini along with the Cnoc and Hyropak bags.

The Renovo I was told is a military grade filter, however there is only one supplier now in Australia. The Cnoc bags are great if you want to quickly squeeze liquid through a Sawyer. Folds down small. Both the Cnoc and Hydropak have large filling mouths. Unlike the original bags supplied with the Sawyers. Which I never use. Im very impressed with the Hydropak 6 litre bag. Both the inner and outer materials.

size comparison of the 3 and 8

I originally purchased the moab 3 for a med kit, however found it a little small for what I wanted to place in it. The size is good for an IFAK however for a medic bag I found a Platatac delta medic bag that holds more gear.

the 3 holds my phone , wallet and a charging brick in the front.

Ive been carrying around the 3 for several months but with the change in weather I wanted something that I could roll up and thin water proof coat in, carry a bottle of water, aswell as an IFAK. Along with a few small tools such as a torch.

front pocket holds my wallet , phone, brick and medical information
the rear section is large enough to carry a water bottle and a rolled up jacket

Ive had the moab 8 for two weeks. Looking forward to testing it out more.

Bushcraft Possibles Belt Pouch Final Version

Ive spent some time going through various versions of what I like to carry in my belt pouch. I think Ive finally settled on what I like to carry for my EDC and fire Kit.

Starting with the Badger Claw Outfitters belt pouch. To this I have tied a Dragons Breath ferro rod with braided 3mm paracord and a beaver bushcraft striker. Badger Claw also does a nice version of a striker. I never use the ones supplied with ferro rods. Tungsten or tempered 01 steel works much better. I braided the paracord so it doesnt tangle.

I have a small Altoids tin for emergency tinder supplies. Including ; Baddest bee fuses, wazoo fire card, tinder wick, magnesium rod, fresnel lense for solar fire starting, this is also where I keep my sail needle so I dont loose it. Everything is secured with a Ranger band.

In the main pouch I keep; fallkvien DC4, UST Trekker butane lighter. Im not a fan of BICs, although I always keep one in my pocket. UCO matches for a backup in cold weather, Nano candle, Pinceton Tech headlamp. The one pictured is a FRED but I also like the Byte. I carry 4 feet of lawn mower pull cord. This has more traction than 550 paracord for a firebow. I have two other forms of knife sharpening which I dont always have included. A small ceramic rod and an Ezesharp diamond steel for quick touch ups. Depending on the knife grind. Ive gone away from Scandi’s.

The last two items are from Beaver Bushcraft a ferro rod striker but as mentioned badger Claw also do a nice version and a bearing block for a firebow of which Ive tied paracord to use in different methods.
