this is a photo of an infrared camera's beam taking a pic of me . An ordinary camera picked up the beam . When I looked at the screen of another infrared camera and the first on flashed , it showed up like somebody had flashed a torch for a short while ,quite bright and it did not matter if I was facing the other camera or facing away .

nar , I have had it 20 years , long from new when I got it . Been painted a bit . Rims look like the same as yours as well as the tires . Our tires are 600 kilo one's , that given they could be the same as yours you are close to overloaded if full tank @ 1000 liters = 1000 kg's plus pump and weight of trailer to .

Yes only shows at the camera when taken by ordinary camera , not so when on screen of infrared one . I had hoped to be able to take a pic of the beam side on , like a line , or at least see it . Simple night vision gear pick up camera flash . For my camera deployment I shall leave the night vision off , and go for daylight so nobody can find my camera's and swipe them as happened not far from here .Its not possible to see who it is in an infrared pic any way .

Its a great pity that all the Aussie area's prone to fire are not cold burnt regularly out of season , less damage to the environment in the long term . IF the Yanks can figure that out the Aussie Greens should be able two or am I missing that they have another agenda .

yeah the area the fire is burning in hasn't been burnt off for over 40 years, the neighbors from hell, State Forest and National Parks, is mostly run city dickheads

Not sure what state the wheel bearings are in but there's a bit of rust on the trailer coupling blushing

wheel bearings are little roller bearings in the wheel hubs (inside the center area of each wheel) if you carried Rubbish Bin in it then you can test them by jacking up each wheel off the ground, hold the top of the tyre with one hand and bottom other, see if there is any movement if you wiggle it (pull on bottom-push top) there shouldn't be any movement or clunking noise. Then spin the wheel fairy fast, you shouldn't hear any rumbling noise, if you do take trailer to a mechanic, get the bearings repacked or replaced...easy as LiLee
