* a can of areostart for ticks
* dry ice. In a normal or new tropicool stlye esky, line with a space blanket, put a thickish layer of normal ice at the bottom, add food etc the on top put a bag of dry ice wrapped in a tea towel or similar, fold ends of space blanket in & close esky. Has kept meat frozen for 4 days in 35 deg plus days. Dont leave bottles or cans in during a 6 hour drive or they will be frozen when you get where you're going.
*black plastic - great under swags, shower spots
*cheap solar garden lights from bunnings - clip onto tent ropes
we do take lots more, enough to totally fill the ute tray, but some of that is 120L water & 20L of fuel, plus a spare battery .
here is a pic - note the lack of anything. Its like that for the full 360 view

A can of areostart for the ticks ? what do you spray the tick with it.
We had a lot of problems with ticks with one dog every week we would pull 30 or so ticks of her, but the blue dog never had a problem at all.
