TRIP REPORT – LandForces Conference, June 2021
LandForces Conference was on again this year.
It’s billed as a forum for decision-makers throughout the region to enable networking opportunities between manufacturers, senior management (both civil and military), and equipment/service suppliers. This means there’s some really big international conglomerates as well as small business.

A Group Shot or…. I emptied my shed!
A challenge was set awhile back by someone who didn’t believe me when I said I have “a few packs”.
This is after doing a decent cull of the herd last year too.

*Ahem*
21x packs of various types/sizes
1x satchel (HRO)
3x sets of chest webbing (I know there’s another set of belt webbing somewhere in the shed)
2x plate carriers
.
Can anyone pick what I’ve got in the line-up?

After losing a dream role in April due to the pandemic, I’ve been unemployed for most of it, living in my parents place.
I can only hope that 2021 brings positive change to all of you.

Despite the negativity of the year, it’s been an excellent chance to appreciate what I do have:

TRIP REPORT – OXFAM TRAILWALKER, JUNE 2019
So, my fellow scout leader Hawk had a brilliant thought:
We should walk the Oxfam Trailwalker.

Oxfam Trailwalker is a challenging event that changes lives. Oxfam Trailwalker Brisbane, 21-23 June 2019, sees teams walking 100km or 55km through the beautiful D’Aguilar National Park.
