I have IMHO reasonable survival skills. I have done an Army survival course which the Indigenous advisors advised that the country was, "quite hard" to live off. I have exercised around Darwin with live ammunition for emergency use against Crocodiles and Buffaloes. I have navigated a boat in and around the Murray mouth and the Coorong. I have instructed on a First Aid course many years ago (more than 5 years ago). I am not a neophyte. I have not served outside of Australia, it was once not fashionable to do so after Vietnam. I do not claim what I have not done, UnSub, unlike some here.
That is great, Brian. I too have reasonable survival skills. I did have good survival skills, given that I did a camp in the 'wilderness' with a group of people when I was 18. Survived on canned food, fish we caught from the river, and whatever else we could find that could be edible. Needless to say, we went back to civilisation a bit malnourished and slightly dehydrated a week after we set out. And the mosquitos made for some rough sleeping.
I have fired hand guns, rifles, and automatic and semi-automatic firearms. The army said that I had potential, but I might not be committed to joining the army. They gave me an orientation course to do. I passed quite well. But, my fat arse would not pass that course today.
I once had marksmanship badges for my use of a rifle. I have experience on fully automatic rifles, M16 rifles, L4a4 Bren Guns, M60 GPMGs on both bipods and tripods, 81mm Mortars, 84mm Recoilless Rifles Carl Gustavs and M72 Rocket Launchers. I have trained to use bayonets on the end of rifles and M18a1 Claymore mines.
I can use a map and compass and have instructed in the use of both.
Quote:Trivia question: Brian, what do you do if you were bitten by a brown snake and you were far from medical help?
A pressure immobilisation bandage is recommended for anyone bitten by a venomous snake. You should firmly bandage the area of the body involved (such as an arm or leg), and keep the person calm and still until medical help arrives.
Quote: Quote:You have obviously never visited Canberra in the middle of winter?
Nope. I would not last. I am a tropical person. I was there in Canberra back in 1998 during the summer.
Whereas I am a cold temperate person and do not like the tropics...
Quote: Quote:As for minorities making my life hell, well I don't seem to have problems with minorities all that much
That is because you don't live around them. My town has a severe car theft problem. And in just about every car theft is the result of indigenous people stealing cars as part of an initiation. If you are out in public and look up from minding your own business to see who is in front of you, you would likely get a "what are you looking at?" type query from most indigenous people. And if you have not experienced bullying at primary school by indigenous students, you are probably too old to have been educated among them.
Oh, dearie, dearie, me, you must think that the rest of Australia is a monoculture or something. I have lived around minorities my whole life. I have rented my Adelaide house to Refugees. Minorities exist everywhere in Australia. Tsk, tsk, tsk...
Quote: Quote:Spoken like an unsympathetic Queenslander.
I drink. I spend $150 a week on scotch. My bank account balance has slowly declined to be half of what it was in the year 2022. Should you feel sorry for me because of my lack of self-control? No, you should not. Indigenous people get an easy ride, where they really don't need to work in order to live at least a modest life without really trying. Until you find a receipt of an indigenous Centrelink recipient that does not have indigenous benefits written included to their Newstart payments, I won't believe you about indigenous extra benefits.
Oh, dearie, dearie, me, you sound like a bit of a loser there. Go out and get a real job and live a real life amongst real Australians, UnSub. Stop being an internet troll. Tsk, tsk, tsk...
