I've been happy with my Bushnell H2Os, but got them drenched in the Tararuas this morning and now one side is all fogged up. They are about 8-10 years old now, so that's not bad service. Hopefully...

Hi Genty, not sure where you can get a blaze jacket, but I use one of the stoney creek blaze vests - get a big one and you can wear it over the top of anything as you strip off or add layers,...
Good advice, thanks all.
I was reading Red Deer in NZ by Lentle and Saxton and they say you should do a full check of the lungs, liver, kidneys and intestines before butchering a deer, even if you just take the backstraps...
I also include a few anti-nausea and anti-diarrhea pills and rehydration salts. I once got into trouble through not cleaning a camelback hose properly before going hiking and was running at both...
I use the basic Garmin eTrex 10, in conjunction with map and compass, and am really happy with it. Mine was $149 from Dick Smith, but there's probably better deals around now. Before I go, I add...

If you go that way and decide it's too rough you could...

Lots of sign about at Kaitoke this morning.
Good point. There's also the NZ Police serial number asset programme (snap.org.nz): create a profile and you can register all your important stuff, including serial numbers.
I've put my bolts, spare keys, passports, etc in the same thing. Didn't think of putting photos on a memory stick though - that's a great idea.
