We call them a Wallaby Jack out here Bushy. Every 4WD that goes offroad or into the "bush" carries one...a high lift jack is a necessity.

We have some magnificent forests out here...but of course the timber industry is hell bent on cutting them all down...trees that rise hundreds of feet into the air and are hundreds of years old...they only see dollar signs.

Cheers, Vince

We have a farming system of tree harvest here that is tightly regulated by the government.

As for 3 rifles,

No.4 Rifle converted to 308Win. - Deer, Moose Gun
AR-15 Variant of some sort chambered in 223 Wylde. - Small Game Gun
HK UMP/USC45 Carbine - cause its the same caliber as the pistol I want

I currently own one, but if I could only own 3 rifles I would trade/sell/buy to get the other 2 on this list.

Rifles...the man said rifles! Very Happy

Assuming the worst of all possible scenarios... Sad

Soooo...here goes.

.22 long rifle...either my CZ452, Very Happy

my Ruger 77-22, Very Happy

or a Marlin model 60.

The .223 SR 556... once the new manufacturing bugs and hiccups are worked out of it. Irons. A less expen$ive alternative: Savage model 25 in .223.

A bolt '06, .308, .260 Remmie, or .270 Winchester. Or...an M1A. Properly scoped, of course!

Now, for other necessary tools:

Pistol: 22 LR Ruger Mk II, Very Happy

or Single Six, iron sights. Very Happy

Smith & Wesson 357 Maggie, Colt steel .45 Commander, S & W 39, or Ruger SR9. All with iron sights. Although my eyes won't allow long range shooting anymore, within 25 yards, sufficient to my needs. Cool

Gonna try a small red dot sight, just to see...

Good, bright, with reasonable run time, and by that, I don't necessarily mean EXPEN$IVE, either; flashlight, or three.

Shotgun

Knife: Rambo styles need not apply. Viking

AA batteries, and toilet paper. Very Happy

Bushmaster

Sniper's packin' for a trip...Where you goin' Sniper? Very Happy

Toilet paper? What caliber? Didn't know that was a rifle... Laughing

Bushy, I checked real quick, my toilet paper is about 1.75 caliber. Not sure what brand Sniper uses though...

Dunno if I am going to wear my thong on the beach, tho. It might redefine the term sun-kissed cheeks! Embarassed

Caliber... depends entirely on the individual. Wink

Use enough uhmmm....gun! Very Happy

"Slinger, that is a relief, I thought you wuz goin' to say GIANT ECONOMY size, or JUMBO roll! Shocked

Bushmaster

Thong? No pictures necessary. Believe me...Have a good trip. Your first to the isles...? I would be more worried about eye strain, sore neck from sudden head turns or brused head from repeated slappings from better half... Very Happy
