Swegin Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I always have a leatherman in my pack. I also carry Silicone tape or self fusing tape in my truck. For VLF hunting I bring my crevice tool for bedrock hunting and a McCloud for raking tailing piles down. https://www.thefirestore.com/Fire-Hooks-Unlimited-Wildland-McCloud-Tool?handle-options=210&gclid=CjwKCAjwyryUBhBSEiwAGN5OCFtI-zPb91w_M3NURsgLXTZ-r9i6VJQTbxdsjQwcO8DLgBrkaIIE-hoCn_cQAvD_BwE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aureous Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Aside from Gerry using his pick for a different hobby, he seriously needs to brush his teeth....I could barely see em for all that yella stuff 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotAU? Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Americans scratching their heads over what the Aussies and Kiwis are laughing about what Gerry is saying here…. 🤣 Steve’s suggestion for a 10x loupe is very useful- I use a geologist’s style one for inspecting specimens… get a triplet lens type for better quality.

Most seem to skim over it and not notice, I know I did the first time I read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard just about everything now, just how can a person do that, please don't tell me I don't want to be scared for life with an image like that in my head. That is just wrong.

Finally this morning with a fresh cup of coffee, I realized my issue...wanking/walking while swinging, yes that my friend is indeed funny, my bad. You Aussie folks have a good laugh, but be sure to add some knowledge as well. Many of us Yanks can only dream of your gold field opportunities and sitting around a campfire telling Aussie humor while chewing on Roo tail and pulling flies out of your whisky cup.

Lanny Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Nice list Gerry, one made from lots of years of experience. Steve's list is great as well. The nice thing about both lists, and the added details provided by others, is that a rookie wouldn't really know where to start, so you've both provided hard-earned wisdom on what is needed while chasing the nuggets out there in the wilds. All the best, and thanks for taking the time to post your list, Lanny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
