Yeah, that is a commercial web site, but they do explain it pretty well which is why I posted it. Another tip I found just now while poking around in there, DO NOT have your phonebook password protected, or else it's a wasted effort.

I am very much taken with Mr T's suggestion about the envelope in the glove box. Bit like the permanent instruction I have from my Doctor about which hospital the Ambos should take me to. No point going to the wrong hospital, where my Specialists aren't ... I will implement this today. As for notifying them of its existence. How about a piece of card in the holder on the back of the driver's sun visor? If down, it will be visible from inside the car; if up, it will be visible from outside the car. Just a thought or two. I have also thought about the sense of having a GPS beacon, and/or a satellite phone, if really going bush. AND REMEMBER everyone - ALWAYS stay with your vehicle. A vehicle is far easier to see in the landscape than a prone body ... I also carry a large sheet of yellow plastic with me. It will do double duty as a water catchment trap, and also is even easier to spot than your vehicle. If someone doesn't already know how to construct a water trap, please feel free to ask. It could save your life.

Gidday again Mr T
You are interrupting me reading about tyres ... ![]() Quote:
A trenching tool or similar; An ice cream container or similar; and A sheet of plastic about a metre on each side.
BTW, I have done the glove box letter you suggested for both our cars.

![]() ![]() Also I would say if you seal all around the plastic sheet it will seal in the moisture & prevent evaporation, increasing yield. Best way is to use sand or soil.

ICE Android app.
![]() http://www.xda-developers.com/androi...-just-in-case/ The application effectively acts as a digital copy of the traditional ICE card which is stored on your phone. It contains all the relevant information that you’d expect it to.
The latest version is available for free on the market and is now ICS friendly, you can find more infomation in the original thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1489092 ------------------------------------- Small sticker decal (below) I have on my rear quarter window, glove-box and medical details envelope! ![]() ..to be sure, to be sure! ![]() Last edited by PigSti; 27th September 2013 at 01:29 AM. |

![]() ![]() Just a grab a plastic bag, some scissors, and some duct tape. Find a near tree with green leaves and stuff as many of the leaves in to the plastic bag but do this carefully no to damage the leaves or the branches. The trick is to get the water from the plant proper not just the leaves. Seal the plastic bag with the duct tape and leave it for a few hours (leave it overnight if you can). Give the bag good shake to get the drops to fall to the bottom. == pure distilled water! ![]() Last edited by PigSti; 27th September 2013 at 01:57 AM. Reason: added text |
