>>144630>Buy a snakebite kitAustralian snakes are not aggressive-- the ones with Bad Attitudes have to be provoked.
And what the hell is a 'snakebite kit'? ... You don't need a special plastic box to hold a tourniquet made out of a cotton shirt.
>Go for the lighter sleeping bagsYou won't need a -15C outside of the KNP, but -5 to zero is certainly the go at this time of year across the continent.
>Always assume there will not be water.The supply of water is not a problem except fair off the coast, but you'll need a filter. Every bushwalking trail will have trailnotes with information like water (
www.wildwalks.com..) Even if yer not a greeniehappiefaggot and yer gonna go tacticool, you'll want to study the information they've got-- BECAUSE GETTING YOUR MORONIC ARSE WINCHED OUT BY HELICOPTER is an indelible mark of Absolute Fail.
Bushwalking is a big hobby here-- there are a lot of resources for hiking and camping-- a good place to find books are the Map shops.
Particularly around the Blue Mountains, you can freely borrow PLBs from the Police stations. But mobiule phones are always a good idea.
>That allows you to distribute the weight a bit better.Aussie bushwalkers generally pack lighter (and are usually walking as groups, to make things easier). Because of that, the lack of needing "mah ankle support!" sees a lot of people in Volleys.
