It all depends what we decide to cook. We take the Cob as a backup, as we can use for anything.
Just a bit of added info.
All depending on conditions, and if you play in the river you will use more fuel.
On the Klein Letaba, 60km odd I used over 65L of diesel because of how wet it was.
You bog down, you chew fuel, as well as those helping you,

Customisation is like plastic surgery. It's improving on perfection.

Packing?
Its my everyday car, SWAMBO already asked if the fridge slide is able to come out
To be fair, it is annoying having the fridge slide in the boot all the time, but I did use it over the weekend, excuse to use the fridge rather than a cooler box

Colin, your group drops into the river a day before us. So it will take us a while to catch up - depending on how many break downs you have,
Send us regular pin drops - or we'll just follow the coolant leak trail!
