Of late our trips have been pretty good results wise, on Thursday last I had the wheeze that there was a red spiker lurking in one of my favoured spots.

Not 200 metres from where I unloaded the scooter was the first problem



So I hoed into it with my trusty spade



45 mins later it was ready to be towed out of the way.

My spade is sharpened along one edge and is a handy tool for cutting, digging and has got me out of a few tricky spots.

Onwards to the spiker, decided to look over another promising spot, and the scooter, she no go, bugger, second problem.

The only option, walk out, hour and a half later back at the ute, lucky was all down hill as there was a fair bit of gear to carry as you never know who is going to turn up in this day and age and I was not keen on making any donations to poachers, another day wasted getting the scooter out, turned out to be a faulty kill switch, that will be bypassed tomorrow.

Can't win em all.

Cheers

Thats one heluva spade feeder im impressed, can't believe that.
Never good when the trusty stead gives up the ghost way out the back, ive had to replace the kill switch on mine as well, looks to be the same model.

Coulda been worse. Might have got the spiker and had to carry that out along with all the gear..
