Not as cheap as the gravity light, but I thought that this was a very neat stove, not only does it boil 1 litre of water in 4 minutes, using only twigs, but also charges all those must have devices, while you wait for your meal to be cooked. http://biolitestove.com/ Cheers David

Just received an email from a friend with an article on keeping biting insects away, so simple they say to spray LISTERINE around ground, chairs & tables, I haven't tried it yet but going to have a go. Has anyone ever heard of this? I am lunch for all things that bite so heres hoping it works.

Lets face it; we Grey Nomads lead a purpose-less non-productive life. We just slowly wonder around from town to town, looking but not seeing much due to our poor eyesight. In general terms we either receive Centre Link benefits (costing the tax payer) or if self-funded through the superannuatio...

We've been on the road now for just on 18 months, and do a bit of house sitting along the way to mix up our travels, get a feel for a particular area and also it prevents cabin fever being in the van 24/7! I'm guessing we've been pretty "lucky" up to this point, as it seems we've managed, (without r...
