I'm single, so i have no trouble with that hehe. But, in saying that. I will be making sure i contact people to let them know where i am and when i will be going back home and things like that

PLB. Where can i purchase one of those?
Crevicing tools, can't believe i forgot that. Thanks.

With a license, I am in NSW and i believe you only need one, if you go into State Forests that you are allowed to fossick in. But i will be purchasing one some time this year. I think it's around $40 for a family 2 adults and 3 children (i have 2 boys) so would be handy to have

You wrote small backpack. Youll need at least a 50-60L pack to carry the basics, unless you plan on staying by the car. And if you plan on carrying everything on your list, might need a couple of large packs and a donkey.

I was told it is used for tics if you get them on youself, instead of removing them with fine tipped tweezers and they should fall off within 24hours.
