I went to the Victorian 4wd show today and found it a little disappointing.
However, I did spy a little ingenious device to remove tent pegs. It a few bits of welded bar that allow you to slip it under the tent peg and lever it out. Then pull them straight out. $12 for a bit of welded up steel may seem a little steep if you saw how crude it is, but I reckon it's a bargain. Just another liitle way to make camping easier.
That horrid task of trying to wrench out 15 tent pegs that have been belted into hard ground will now save this old bloke a lot of sweat.
It made the trip to the show
well worthwhile.
Jim.

Sorry I mssed you Jim, we were there from about 10.15 to about 1.30. We had to fly up to
Mansfield to help out a friend. Had to have a laugh as we crossed over the
bridge at
bonnie doon there was a 60 series cruiser with its fron wheel buried under the mud somewhere, and a few guys standing there scratching their heads haha.
catch up soon.
congrats on your new purchase, we have a few peg pullers, they work a treat.

Adam,
We didn't get there until about 2.15. Big night Saturday at the Mornington Races Do. Slow start Sunday morning.
We had visions of getting up early and being there by 11 am but it just didn't happen.
Cheers,
Jim.

Tip from Wolfie.........
I carry a long handled shovel EVERYWHERE..... thanks Pesty.
Simply use an angle grinder to cut a 25 mm. long slot, 10 mm. wide, in the middle of the front end of the shovel.
Won't make a scrap of difference to digging, and you simply jamb the bugger under a peg, place a screwdriver under the bend in the peg, and prise upwards.
Now, how cool is that?????
Now, if you want the real Wolfie's bored, what can I make next toy, try making a cradle that fits to your hydraulic jack.
Not good enough???
Okay, for those of you blessed with
winches on the front of your vehicles......................
Wolfie
