Carrying 2 stroke fuel

Thanks I had a mate who used to use this type for his Shellite stove, Have been to 3 camping stores looking for them but no luck.

Funny I have even done a search on Ebay for small fuel containers with no luck but you managed to find them

Thanks, that sounds like a good system you have going there.

Thanks for that, I like that one in the link you posted as well

Thanks Mark
That was the style I initially had in mind
I tried a BCF and Anaconda and they did not have them at the time. A few have posted links to them on line also so will chase them up

Peter I don't bother either unless I am going to heavily timbered areas.

I do own two sabre saws and an electric chainsaw for home use but you would be seriously under gunned with them in places like the High Country

Rod you obviously have never been to places like the Vic high country otherwise you wouldn't have made such a remark.

There is a difference between travelling light and travelling unprepared.

I don't take my chainsaw when I go to central Australia or the deserts but it is wise to have one in heavily timbered areas.
I was in the high country again just two weeks ago and was glad I was not the one who had to remove some of the trees that had been across the tracks in the days prior.

I hope this makes sense to you.

I don't carry an axe by the way

Cheers

Absolutely agree, Alby.

The standing dead trees that were killed by fires in the last 10 years or so are now starting to fall regularly. I think it is now unwise to go into fire-affected alpine areas (and that is much of it) without a chainsaw.

Just a couple of months ago I went up to Geehi dam through fire-affected country. Had a clear run, but thought to myself "I wonder if my luck will be as good on the way back?"

It wasn't.

In the couple of hours I spent poking around the dam and surrounds, a dead tree had fallen across the only access track and I had to clear it.

There was no wind - these things just give up and fall at any time.

For the same reason you also need to be very careful about choosing a bush campsite. "It'll be right for one night" is very likely to be wrong. (Nat Park campsites have generally been made safe.)

Cheers

Yep that makes sense but an axe takes up less space.

Rod unless you can swing an axe like the guys at the Royal Easter Show you would be setting up camp next to some of these trees whilst you worked your way through them
There is a lot of timber that comes down up there and some massive ones at that
