If anyone has one Australia specific, I'd be grateful, something that has downloadable pdf's or something similar.

Heres a link I think you'd all find useful,

infographs are great but I don't always want to rely on /out/ for advice or location specific information, the link I posted is good, but it doesn't have everything.

/k/ is full of shit when it come to innawood.

Iodine will make you drink bleach, 60% ethanol solution is a good antispetic but will destroy the damaged skin, a gas stove is lighter and less dangerous than an axe or whatever you use to cut wood and the best solution is an oven made for small wood part.

This food is shit, only reason to not have only two bics is personal tastes, slingshoot won't put meat in the plate and you probably don't know how to make a trap. Multitools are heavy and useless and you will never be able to eat enough to go for big game.

Any kind of cord is useless except if you use a tarp and you probably shouldn't.

By the way, a hammock don't protect you from predators. You will be the first to die.

Cardboard has a lot of carcinogenic chemicals in it. So maybe not the smartest idea to burn it around your food/where you might breathe in smoke.

Your first two points are complete nonsense. Using iodine to purify water was pretty standard a few decades ago, and sterilizing wounds with alcohol certainly doesn't destroy any skin. Ever heard of rubbing alcohol?

I ... go outside and learn from experience, talk to others and learn from their experiences.

Unless you're into something really specific, you don't need to dedicate your life's research to "outdooring".

First aid kit/training
>Organize classes every other year at work; keeps my training current, gets others in the company trained, and the company pays for it
Survival
>Scouts, 20+ years of camping/hiking/moto/snowmobiling
basic communications
>scouts again, radio op, keeping current with the equipment (industry whitepapers, experiences of others in similar activities)
navigation
>scouts mostly, also teaching GPS nav helps
>need to put a presentation together in the next month or two for this

Read all you want, doing is what makes you proficient.

A lot of people drink it, but ionized water is still light bleach.

Ethanol is the best disinfectant there is to clean medical items, healthy skin or "clean" wounds but my bottle tell me to not use it on damaged skin to not fuck it.

No, it's not. Iodine and bleach are completely different. You can purify water with bleach, of course, which I guess would leave you drinking extremely diluted bleach a.k.a. chlorinated water, not different from what a water treatment plant does.

Don't you think someone made these infographics based on experience? Isn't it obvious that these things need to be practiced and not just memorized? I don't see why you're being such a prick and ignoring the very obvious.

All smoke has carcinogenic chemicals in it... Hell, my MSR camp stove burns fucking UNLEADED GASOLINE which is pretty carcinogenic as well.

This shit depends on so many variables (soil quality, annual rainfall, growing season length, etc) that that infographic is pretty much useless.

When would you ever need anything but the knife when you're out?

Do you really need a screwdriver? A philips head? A corkscrew? A bottle opener? A little plastic toothpick? Maybe you could justify the tweezer for tick removal if you're in their country.

Other than that it's entirely useless and you're just too obsessed with being tacticool to realize it.

Carrying fishing gear is reason enough to have a multitool. Also, stuff breaks. Sometimes you want to open a beer. Sometimes you want to open a bottle of wine. Sometimes you want to open a can. You probably don't want to own 20 different multitools so you can save 2oz by only taking exactly what you need.
