    Te Urewera... Incredible place to go and refocus on what's good in life... My job can get to be a bit of a downer at times.. Time in the bush goes a long way to sort that shit out...

    Those are good reasons. Working with at risk youth and delinquents would get depressing.

    Depressing, frustrating, exciting and at times incredibly rewarding... I've had so young men run up to me on the street just to tell me they've got a job and they're staying out of trouble... That stuff is gold!!

    Must be pretty nice to know that you had a part to play with them getting onto the straight and narrow.

    As a side question. What do you reckon the percent of the young men you work with don't have dad's in their life?

    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

    You depart with mighty boasts, but you come back having done little.
