Ok now its been decided upon - We're going to Girraween National Park for a camping trip 4 days long. So now it's time to book a camp site and prep all the gear required. I'll keep you posted on how it's progressing -
10-11-10 Wednesday night,time to kick the brain into gear !
11-11-10 Thursday afternoon Off to the local camping store. Some of the items on the shopping list are:- Gazebo (easy setup for shade)- camp chair- extra gas canisters for cooker- some bushman insect repellant- some mozzie repellant coils- small camp table to put the cooker ontoThere still are a few more things to get like - dehydrated food for the day trip walks and some cooking gear for the day walks as well. I've got in mind some type of MSR 2 person cook gear. Will probably get it tmrw
12-11-10 Friday. That was a busy afternoon ! Went into Brisbane and looked for food between the major camping stores and compared their prices. Why are their prices so different ? And why doesn't any store stock the full range of any food ? Backpacker Pantry, Backcountry or Chefs choice !? Why is it so hard ! Anyway after that went straight to K2 where you know the guys and girls know all about the stuff there. And finally stopped in at the local camping store and bought an esky. It really was a busy day before work. We managed to get everything we needed. Learning from an earlier lesson at Girraween we have already fill up over 20 ltrs of water. The water at Girraween has tannin through it. The MSR water filter will take about half the colour out.
