I went in there for a day in June or July. Found a spot on a ridge with good cover in the valley either side and sat there for a 3-4 hours. A few recent droppings around but didn't see any movement....

Why don't they teach this stuff in school. Much better than the square root of 284.

I bought a suitcase from the UK a few years back and had it shipped via youshop... stupidly I didn't look into it enough and got charged with the volumetric shipping weight (i.e. length x width x...

I use the eberlestock j-34 and, as nibblet said, if packed right it's bloody good. Having the rifles weight right against your back (instead of the back / side of your pack) is great for balance and...

Would anybody who's been up here recently suggest taking an ice axe?? Much snow / ice about?

Another vote for the z5

Thanks for sharing planenutz . Photo's looks great!! Hopefully we can get onto something worth bringing home ;)

This has had some good reviews and is cheap as chips. Borrowed some redfield bino's once when I forgot mine and they weren't too bad at all

Redfield Rampage 20-60x80mm Spotting Scope - Hunting and...

After a fair bit of interneting a mate and I reckon we'll head into this area end of Sept... unless anybody would advise otherwise. Recent 1080 drops? Bad animal numbers? Carnivorous locals?

If anybody's buying Sitka, badlands etc - Linton Outdoors is worth a look. Good USD prices and they email the actual invoice and manipulate the shipping invoice to make it approx. $100 NZD for...

Cheers, JoshC , but it's a few weeks out from this weekend...

Edit: Unless that's aimed at the initial poster haha

I've got a restricted permit for 12 Mile / Mt. Crichton for Friday 12th and Saturday 13th of August. Will likely take the last few hours of Thursday off work and head up to the hut.

At this stage...

Bloody brilliant. A+

Few things (out of the ordinary) that I've started bringing up to the tops with me:
heaps of soup sachets - weight nothing, quick + a great way to warm your hands and tide you over when glassing for...

Use the Eberlestock J34. Starts @ 35L and sits really snug/flat against your back with the compression straps. Can open up massive to carry meat. On the heavier side for a day pack but the flip side...

Some places will be happy to email you the invoice and only include an invoice for the shipping + approximate $100 odd value of the item with the physical package... This will get it through customs...

hotsoup I've got some Lowa Hunter GTX Hi 's. Bloody brilliant. They're the insulated version of the Tibet's and actually feel a little more stable / stronger than the Tibet due to the extra leather...

Nah Mate StagRyan . This is in the upper Greenstone...

I recently picked up the Garmin Rino 650. Got the H&F bundle deal with a few extras. Haven't tested it in the field yet but am pretty wrapped with the minimal testing I've done in the car etc.

A...

Thanks for the advice everyone. Definitely helpful!
Roy-Lehndorf I hadn't looked at campsaver etc yet but bought some Lowa Hunter EVO GTX's from there 6 months back and they were great to deal...

I'm in the process of slimming down the pack and dropping some weight. My older thermarest clocks in at 900g with a packed size at least double the newer models.

I'm not too fussed on the price...

Had a stroll up Timaru Creek a while back... If Mid-timaru was my roar block I'd be spending some time around those wallows that "can't be missed" a few hours in ;)

Can't go past Lowa. Expensive in NZ but if you look around on the net, particularly during any major US holidays (= sales), you can generally find a decent price on whatever you're after. 100% agree...

Went for a walk up the top of the Old Woman Range a few weekends ago. One goat seen @ 1200y + some relatively new hoof prints. Easy access in a 4x4 off the Nevis road. Heaps of feed and not a lot of...

Bumping this thread. Anybody been up here or have and have any tips or advice on it? Looks as though like the river shouldn't be too hard to navigate up.
