Normally Range "Stew" now days, not bad if you take the grissle out (which is 99.9% of what they describe as meat)

YUK!!!

Off at a tangent again - so look away now........
At our tented kitchen at Canungra there were pies laid out and I asked the cook '.....what's in those pies Jock*.....' Without smiling and retaining his deadpan nasho fed-up look, he looked at the menu chalked on a dusty old blackboard, looked over at me, pointed to it with his ladle and replied '......meat........ what d'ya think with a meat pie.....'. Well, ask a silly question! Mind you, being a Jock from Jockland, his language was a bit more colourful than that
(* Jock McQuarrie, a National Service cook from Dundee)

Is that Dundee NSW Pete? got booked for speeding there years ago, open road, not a car insight.......except for one walloper hiding behind a tree at the bottom of a hill.

As for the Glasshouse mountains.........well what can I say, bloody torture.

Fortunately by the time I got to Canungra the tent kitchen had given way to a building...but we still lived in tents.

Jock McQuarry was one of our National Service cooks from the Dundee in Jockland Muffer. He was working as a cook at one of the mining stations and didn't know that anyone even knew about him being illegally (?) in Oz. But when the ballot came up, his date came up - as did his call-up papers! There were also two other Jock Nashos, McLennan and McClean. Happy days

I would think that two sticks tired together and stuck in the ground forming an X with the wood forearm resting on the center would be a better bipod as it wouldn't affect the harmonics you think? Ray

Could the "bipod" in question be part of an experimental field cooking system:

Two bipods and a cranked spindle (like a starter handle), to form a portable field rotisserie?

Adjustable leg height to accommodate the "billy-can" for boiling the "brew" water.

Not sure how to attach the cans and foil packs, though.

Finally, a good use for that contraption, excellent lateral thinking!

The best use to put this contraption to would have been to return it to it's intended use a MK1 Bren bipod which I would have done if the price/condition had been more attractive to me.
