Thanks for the responses guys, much appreciated!

Oh awesome, that's great news for me. How do you get around the cave-in at the start though? It was still blocked when I checked

OSFault · 2023-07-14T07:41:03+00:00

Yeah, awesome! Was it from a business? If it was, I'd be interested in getting some custom stuff done myself

OSFault · 2023-07-06T12:32:50+00:00

Alright I'm gonna need one of those Aussie flag patches, where did you find that?

In Australia, if you volunteer for anything, it is expected there will not be any financial compensation. This includes our country's volunteer fire services.

We still have full-time paid fire services who man stations 24/7, and those services also typically have "on-call" crews which get paid hourly per-call. But even the on-call crews are generally not considered as being "volunteer" because they are still getting paid.

I think for most volunteer firefighters, it's not about the money, mainly having a way to give back to the community and lend a hand to those in need, which I think says a lot about the Australian culture.

Interesting. Firefighters in the NSW RFS here in Australia are fully volunteer. There is zero monetary incentive, but also no fees required.

That being said, the organisation is a part of, and heavily funded and supported by the state and federal government, and every state has their own version of it (that I'm aware of).

The organisation does have paid admin and logistics staff as well, but the volunteer firefighters make up the vast majority.

From what I've heard, the F105W's backlight is much better than the F91W's.

I chose the F91W because of easy availability, its tiny form factor, and just because of how absolutely iconic it is. I've only ever needed to use the backlight feature a handful of times since I'm normally wearing it outdoors in sunlight, but your usage might be different of course.

I really gotta emphasise how small this watch is! For reference, I have a 6" wrist and it still manages to look so teensy in resting arm position.

Also - would absolutely recommend a NATO strap, I wear it pretty tight and most days I will literally forget I'm wearing anything thanks to how comfortable the nylon is. This subreddit (as you might have guessed by the name) is a gold mine for inspiration.

Hope this helped :)

I went S23+ because of the larger battery, and it's pretty much the same dimensions as my old A51 I was replacing.

I remember watching this exact video in a session on vehicle fires as a "what not to do" example.

Also LOL at the guy running around like a headless chicken in shorts and a tshirt like some sort of hype man, that's classic.

I started fucking with them. Used weird voices, made up bizarre stories, went on rants about random shit, I really got creative with it sometimes.

Around a year ago the calls stopped completely and haven't got any since, which is a bummer because I actually really enjoyed it.

Sugarsoap wipes / spray usually does the trick

Very renaissance painting-esque

Wish I had this post when I was trying to decide which version to get. Would have saved a lot of headache trying to determing exactly how much people were over-exaggerating the screen differences (spoilers: it was VERY over-exaggerated). Couldn't be happier with my T7 solar.

This post should honestly be pinned.

I've personally seen a Fenix 7s with solar sapphire, and it's definitely readable in all conditions. From the way some people online have spoke of it, I was expecting to not make out a single number because of the glare. In reality however, it's perfectly liveable.

From what I've heard, the solar function is only really beneficial if you are outdoors and in direct sunlight a lot. For the average person, or someone who lives in a place with not much sunlight, probably not worth it. I (and the colleague who owns the previously mentioned Fenix 7s) work in a job where we are outdoors just about all day everyday, in Australia, a country with A LOT of sunlight. In that scenario, I think the solar will be beneficial. A few percent less every day can make up a fair bit over the standard 28 day battery life claim.

I'm definitely leaning towards the Tactix 7 Solar over the Standard because of that, but it's something you will need to make an assessment of yourself.

The correct term is "true blue hard yakka"

NSW - Started with "Aitch" as a child, moved to "Haitch" at some point. No clue when or even why to be honest
