My long wheel base sprinter only had one rear spring. With the larger 4WD tyres on it kept bottoming out when hitting potholes. I had an extra spring added which gave it a lift of 30mm. handles much better and no longer rubs on the tyres when on rough roads.
Having hot chips on the beach and the Magpies decided to visit.

Ive had some interesting reading this week. Looking into behind dark money and where it Leeds. My experience with this are when I left hospital I must have called 20 charities to get some help. They were quite happy to waste three hours of my time having to travel and sign up for their services to never hear from them again after being circle jerked onto the next charity. the recieve your details , say they are helping to get funding and that funding is as far as I can tell laundered. One church has recieved 200,000 in funding for showers and laundry machines. The same church is never open and no one has used these machines in the past 6 months.
Are the Australian Government preparing for the same hostilities as seen in Britain. Not from overseas based violence but from their own people due to incompetent policies.
People are still being arrested for sharing opinions or footage of what has been occurring. We can never forget this.
Reward(benefits), Ideology(beliefs), Coercion(fear) and Ego(the perspective you want from others). RICE system.
Well where do I start. The monetary system is being manipulated to control people. As seen in Canada when truckers protesting had their bank accounts frozen.
The Australian Government is increasing immigration to help prop up the economy, however it is also making Australians homeless. I know of people being housed in hotels including convicted pedophiles. I have other friends living in tents and being moved on from public reserves every week by authorities. This needs to change.
The Australian Terror level has been increased ! I don’t believe this has anything to do with over seas organizations but they’re preparing for internal chaos created by incompetence by our own government. All though I wish it were incompetence and not designed.
I placed the above video on the UK for several reasons. One to show what the future in Australia will soon become and the reporter from Rattlesnake makes good points on when people react to designed havoc from governments it gives them power to bring in even heavier restrictions.
Its happened before and new restrictions have been brought into law since the COVID travesty. Are the politicians preparing for civil war within Australia ?
Lets understand something. Are protesters terrorists for fighting for their freedoms? The only terrorists in this country are the Government and their corruption, follow the money !
My prophecy for the future is that there will be a civil war in every western country and it will be designed to occur by the countries own governments.You cant bring in greater controls of people when there is no reason for enforcement.
With whats going on in the world I thought a little fun was in order. This is the funniest thing Ive seen in a long time.
Managed to stay out of hospital for three weeks. Have spent everyday at the gym, on the bike trying to build up my lung function. I find out tomorrow if it was to any avail. Now down to 56% after scar tissue building up after numerous infections. The knee is paying for two months without gym work. Down to short walks and back to taking heavy pain killers. Trying to get back to a routine of walking every day too but its more every three days.
I had to travel out to the other side of the city to have a 30mm lift on the rear suspension and camp there overnight. I found this great little wet lands to explore and waste the day while I was waiting. I don’t know what hurt more the bad knee or the right hip from taking up all the work from the bad leg. Rehab is going to take longer than anticipated.
This shows the state of this country in both a positive and negative ways. I have had 20 hospital admissions since January and still no government support from local, NDIS, or charities. I called 20 charities when I managed to be released from hospital and they loved putting me on their books to get funding but supplied absolutely nothing in terms of help. The majority of help I have received has been from fellow homeless. From helping me to cook, to picking me up from admissions to moving my vehicle to friends houses for storage. I have come to feel nothing but contempt for most agencies that have been set up to, as far as I can tell to launder money in one way or another. I have met many people that are trying to help. However I have met even more that are actively being the problem, insisting on how much paperwork they can insert into orifices instead of using common sense.. These people are not only a hindrance to their jobs but also to humanity. Do they go home and say. (They didn’t contribute to society today but managed to move on homeless people in a tent that had no where else to go, but they got half a chubby from standing over others and threatening police intervention and fines to those that can barely afford food and fuel.) This is Australia! On a good note Albanazi gave 600 million to an overseas rugby team. Personally I will never watch another rugby game as long as I live. I hope Albanazi enjoys the nine inch dildo I posted to him.

A video from Sigma 3 Survival School came up using the Sawyer Squeeze in conjunction with a Hydrapak 3 litre bladder bag. That interested me, however finding the adapter to fit the water bag was harder than I thought. The adapter ended up being from hydrapak and not Sawyer. I prefer the Micro Squeeze for the flow rate, size and thread system to combine with the hydrapak pack sleeve. I’m also purchasing a new grayl ultrpress to have a lighter filter to the full size for hiking. While looking these up I stumbled across the Hydroblu versa Flow, that I’m considering as an option over another Sawyer mini for a backup.
Ive owned a Renovo MUV system for some time without testing it and am amazed these aren’t mentioned more commonly on you-tube, being the only small filter system I can find that also removes viruses.
I’m trying to set up a few different systems to what I’m currently using to loose weight, making it easier for me to carry.

There have been many videos on you-tube of late about improving ridge-lines, however not many looking at improving guy-line set ups.
I like the idea of an upside down guy-line to have the tensoining knot permanently attached to the tarp corner and then use a quick loop to attach the tent peg further down in the ground.
I have tripped over my guy-lines in the night several times and prefer them to be tied lower. The timber in Australia is much harder to carve tent pegs. Im also switching over to trying bank line for the guy-lines. Ive had hottchie cord become so tangled after pegs pulling out in high winds, it took hours to untangle. That I swapped to 3mm paracord, however It still become too bulky and also tangled. I’m hoping the bank-line being not being as flexible will fix that problem.
Below is a friction hitch that improves on using the Taut Line hitch for a permanent knot attached to the tarp and Ive been playing around with several knots for the tent peg, between a Clove Hitch variation, Anchor hitch and Slip knot but have settled on a Pile Hitch being the fastest and easiest to remember.

Ive gradually been putting together a small recovery kit. When I had my 4WD I could carry full sized tools however when transitioning to van life Ive had to downsize.
This consists of the CRKT Chogan Mattock and Hammer/hatchet, along with the Cold Steel Spetsnaz Trench Shovel. The Cold Steel Special Forces Shovel would probably be the better fit for sizing to match handle lengths but when using a shovel to get out of the bog I prefer the longer handled version.
What I like is that the handle from the mattock and axe are interchangeable. I now have to find a canvas maker that can sew up a tool roll to hold all three pieces of equipment. These three tools should get me out of most situations.

A handle comparison the special forces is approx 9 inches shorter than the trench shovel.
While I’m still recovering from injuries and extended hospital stays. I’m living out of cafes most of the time during winter.. In my home town there are some really nice cafes that go above and beyond, that also present some great photo opportunities.
Great latte’s and try the Deep Blue Special Pizza .
