Writing Bandel Four

  Exploring a new wild camping spot with JC It was the Deepavali weekend and we decided to explore this new area for a quick 2D1N wild camping just outside of Kuala Lumpur. It was just me and JC. M can't make it last minute due to family commitments. I have been on many camping trips with JC and safe to say we are comfortable with each other's company. When exploring new place, best to keep the members to those that you are familiar with. 

  A decommissioned Mystery Nice frame from Australian army I picked up this decommissioned Mystery Ranch (MR) nice some years back on ebay Australia. I believe it is from the Australian army. It is in really bad shape. There were straps missing, buckles busted and the entire pack has obviously been used a LOT. While waiting for the parangs from Sarawak Old Man to arrive, I thought's I would spend some time sewing up a load carrier for this pack (MR calls it the load sling). 

  Look him up on Youtube I recently stumbled upon a new channel on Youtube called Sarawak's OldMan while searching for more information on Parangs. I have and probably will always be a parang only person . In particular parangs from Sarawak. After watching two videos he posted about local Sarawak parangs, it is safe to say that I was impressed. Impressed enough to reach out to him and see if he is willing to help me get some parangs. 

  The worldview kind of changes once you learn to weld Yes, I bought a welding machine and have been learning to do basic welding stuff for our own use. Welding is something I have always wanted to try. With wood you can use string, glue, nails and screws. But when it comes to metal the one sure way (to me at least) is welding. I have seen people to welding work and some amazing daily things that requires welding. Learning to weld opens up a whole new world of possibility.
