  1. Has anyone ever come across patch glue that didn't disappear or turn into
    a funky mess once opened?

    Do the glue manufacturers intentionally create lids that are as air-tight
    as fishnet stockings or is it simply an unavoidable chemical reaction that
    destroys the glue?

  2. I get the patch glue in small squeeze tubes that have screw on cap with a
    point that is used to punture the metal seal before first use. After first
    use I take the plastic backing from the patch and place it over the tube end
    (its sticks to the glue on the edges, but is easily pulled off later), and
    then screw the cap back onto the tube. This keeps the air out and the
    opened tube of glue remains good indefinately (so far probably about two
    years).

    Awesome tip... FAQ!!! 🙂
    (it's not frequent but it should be documented for its coolness)

    I will try it when I score some more glue. <sniff><sniff> oops 😉

    On a side note but not so interesting is that this magical evaporating glue is no longer allowed on airplanes as hand or checked luggage!! Some bollocks about flamable liquids. (So no more mile high sniffers club for you Mr Hippy!)

    So if your going to fly to a tour perhaps some of those not so useful auto seal patches are the go.

    Also any used MSR stoves are no longer allowed -even empty and dry and opened!!! (They confiscated my mates at Melb the other day - well offered to store it for $12 a day but over a month that didn't seem worth it..)

    But of course you can still carry fully loaded cigarette lighters in the plane.. (WTF?)

    About 5mins after sniffing.. oh you mean the flammable thing! :$

    They would only find it if they picked your bag to open. You
    can still take deodorant cans in hand luggage (provided they
    have a lid, apparently).

    A few years back I had a mall bottle of oil confiscated by an over
    zealous security guard. Yet they still encourage people to carny on
    "duty free" bottles of who knows what!

    If you sniff enough glue you don't need a plane to fly.

    The lid makes all the difference. Brilliant safety feature. It doesn't
    matter that as soon as I put a deo can in my bag the lid falls off.

    When I flew to Tassie I read the instructions and found out that you
    can't pack hexamine tablets. Kind of understandable. Except that every
    member of the ADF who flies with their pack/webbing probably has some
    hexamine in a stove/brew kit that they forgot about...

    Is this only because the MSRs can burn petrol ?

    What about my (band new) butane gas thingy?
    And the Trangia alcyhol burner?

    I don't think stoves have every really been allowed there has just been more awareness of them by check-in staff / luggage
    inspectors in the last few years. Recently the rules have been changed to allow stoves and empty fuel containers to be carried
    provided they are prepared & packed correctly.

    Have a look at the aus.bushwalking FAQ for this and more information about stoves than would generally be considered healthy -

    Apparently only petrol stoves.
    My dry trangia is fine. The butane thingy (Kovea?) is ok without the gas bottle. You need to buy a new one when you land.

    These rules are new and unwritten.. no stove _fuel_ was the old rule, but overzeallous security people are not allowing any stove stuff if it smells like fuel.

    Best to pack them in the hold, after a full dry out and perhaps a spay of deodorant/perfume... The only time I have issues is if I pask it in the hand luggage. THat MSR bottle looks pretty darn suss on the Xray machine!

    (Last time they took my allen keys but left me with my steel pencil!! I even showed them the nasty sharp thing!! Apparently the allen keys are a sharp tool but the pencil is ok as its a writing impliment. No reasoning allowed - just follow the rules .. Hmmm)
