    Maybe, but don't let it bother you. You are far better off being your own person and doing your own thing sipping on Pepsi than being hooked into the macho bullshit drinking culture of a lot of hunters.

    I occasionally take a six pack of waikato with me if I am camping where my wagon is parked but other than that not really. Last walk into the kaimanawas I went through a jar of jarrah coffee in two days but I was drinking out of one of those big mofo aluminum mugs that takes about four teaspoons of coffee.

    Sage advice Tussock. If you don't have the necessaries then you certainly can't use them if and when you need to.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    No, I'm with you on that along with a number of people I know.

    Like I said I only take a six pack of cans IF I am camping where the car is parked and then I would only have one or two at the end of the day when the rifle has been put away for the night.

    Im not trying to be a dick or insult you guys about it, I dont really care if you drink or not. Just interested in how you go about taking it in. I know my uncle fills plastic bottles with beer save carrying glass. Could be a handy tip for you guys if you dont already know it.

    Depends where i go? if i walk in i dont take any, if i fly in i do, if flying into a 'base' camp then also take coal, hot or cold depending on if at hut or just camping out, the alloy cans melt an dissapear to nothing on the coal rubbish no more, all gets burnt up at nights if i can or a squish them up an out all rubbish like would normally

    Nothng like cold brew at end of big hunting day to relax, just same as after a big day at work

    I try not to wank on the walk in it saps your energy (even if you are 17 and still having 10 a day)

    Good for you that you don't carry booze...and good for me that I do. Tinnies are the go for me and 40 oz of spirits if flying in. I only carry a hip flask of something good if walking...nothing like a good swig when geographically embaressed and a long night ahead. When flying in I allocate myself 4 cans a day [some people spill that much in an evening] and a few swigs of the spirits. If I get a kill then all allocated ration deals are forgotten.
    Which is worse, ignorance or apathy...I don't know and don't care.
