#94 - PETER WOODS

So when you started your business in 1990, what was the focus?

I wanted to do outdoors, you know, filming.

I've always loved filming because in photography, I've always been involved with it from advertising marketing.

So I bought a really good camera.

So that was my thought.

The technology wasn't the same then.

So, you know, spoke to Opposite Lock because Opposite Lock, people don't know, was West Australian company, Adrian Stafford.

And I said, people who buy all this gear, they don't know how to use it.

you know, snatch straps and winches and stuff.

And he said, I know a guy who XSAS.

And so I went and saw Artie and Neil and we did a whole series of how to use the gear.

And because it was SAS, quality

and

a lot of the SAS manuals actually ended up adapting for the Australian standards.

People don't realise where that came from.

I had no idea.

Yeah, yeah.

I know that because Artie and Neil were involved and Artie was in commander of decent deployment on the, he helped design the lander over at Parenti.

So you know that got information.

So we went through that SAS trained how to do it.

And I think I've used them for about 10 years.

I only have a copy of them, which is really dumb of me.

And would that have been on VHS? VHS, yeah.

They sold them and

gave them away if you bought a package.
