    When you're camping, what do you use to lift pots and pans off the fire? :? A stick, or perhaps a prod with a hook. What do you use to reposition slipped logs? Do you push it in with a stick and it slides sideways, throwing embers into the air? :x

    Carry some decent WELDING GLOVES then you can pick up and reposition anything hot with the precision and dexterity of your hands instead of a clumsy tool. :wink:

    Those "twist and turn" wheel chocks that come in the wheel kit of Discos (and I suspect other Landies) are great for levelling the 3-legged portable bbq I take on picnics.

    And my plywood jack base board also makes a good cutting/chopping board but clean it first.... ops: Puts new meaning into "sand"wiches....

    Put some blu-tac on the adjuster of a shifting spanner to stop having to constantly re-adjust the thing when working in a confined area. Blu-tac is also good on the end of phillips screwdrivers to hold screws in those awkward places and stops low pressure leaks in just about anything.

    Shell Tyre Shine works well on the plastic skirts under the doors of Discos.

    Stingoes! Always pack the Stingoes!

    VEET wax strips or similar are an excellent remedy if you have been stung by a Gympie Bush (Stinging Tree). Just use it as per the instructions on the pack. Gympie Bush hairs or human hairs - it's all the same to a wax strip.

    A pair of pliers with a hefty rubberband around the handles makes a handy hose clamp for small diameter soft hoses if you have to remove one end.

    Handy Hints

    Speaking of camping a good and easy meal for the camp fire is the old potato. Cut the top off a potato just enough to get a raw egg into and keep. Then dig out with a spoon and drop egg in and put the top on hold in foil add a dolop of butter and rap and chuck in the fire coals for half an hour and eat when cool um,um. Quick.

    sick of blindly searching with ya fingers for tools, screws & nuts when working under the beast, or losing small bits when taking it apart.

    Rip the magnet out of the back of an old speaker - stick it on the chasis etc near where you are working - stick the bits on it - you'll never lose your nuts again 8O ...

    you know what I mean.
