Training time!
The DG-3 club went for a training walk around Kangaroo Point last night.
I’m very pleased that my body is back in the groove.
6 klicks completed in 1:04hrs with >16kg penalty weight.
I need to weigh my pack to find out just how heavy it is.

An opportunity for a Friday arvo Zen breathing session came up last week.

TRIP REPORT – Operation Butterfly, 17-18 September
It was a beautiful, clear sunny weekend in South East Queensland. Perfect weather for Operation Butterfly, which is a round-robin training event with a Queensland geography and history theme.
Scout patrols had to navigate to each checkpoint (aptly named after significant Queensland regions) for typical scouting activities like knotting, construction, trivia quizzes and teamwork exercises.

SNEAK PEEK: Kondalilla Falls and the DG-3 Slick
Thanks to our old friends and long time supporters at Crossfire Australia, we had an opportunity to try out a new pack.
The DG-3 Slick is an internal frame, less “tactical” looking pack for those wanting to look a little bit less obvious, or just not needing external pouch capability.

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.
