    Yeah of course! I'm thinking about how to split the middle section into two - maybe three months east of divide, and three on west.

    I've hunted up the Copeland for chamois (unsuccessfully) - with one big fella sighted. So there's some unfinished business over on the West.

    Website looks great, and your writing style is a winner in my view. Good luck Frodo, this has the makings of something big

    18 months of hunting

    You the man bro, this has been attempted before and the end goal not achieved, but I feel you seem abit more determined.
    Go west boy, the valleys are spectacular and no better place to test yourself against the elements

    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

    18 months of hunting

    I hope you get far off the beaten track in your journeys, try stay away from huts and where most hunters go, get into those untouched areas where the true beauty and magic lies, it is in those places you will find the drive to keep going

    It's closed to huntting and fishing indefinitely. Sort of like the scollops up the top of the south.

    Thanks mate. Yes, I'll only be fly camping, and I'll be targeting the most remote spots I can safely get to on foot.

    Are you taking my rifle with you Frodo, I hope not.
    For a mission like this I would happily loan you a Finnlight .

    Hahaa, the Mauser 98 - yep. It's lived all its like in a safe...time to get it used. Can't think of a more reliable action to use, especially in the thick of winter. Will keep metal work properly waxed.

    Damn straight. Cheers man. Yeah I'd like as many different options available to people, as I realize Facebook isn't up everyone's alley.

    Absolutely awesome mate! I see this as the best kind of 'gap year'.

    I guarantee you will well and truly find yourself and likely get very clear on what's important to you and what path you want to end up taking.

    I too as others have said can see this turning into something big and it certainly could have a huge impact on your life moving forward.

    We live in a crazy error where all the old rules no longer apply. A time where anyone can easily publish their own content through such platforms as youtube etc.

    A time where lawyers turned vloggers can make more money doing their own niche video blogs on youtube than they made being a lawyer.

    There are all sorts of opportunities that could well stem from this.

    Such an awesome thing to do at your stage in life, before life gets in the way.

    Will follow with eger interest mate.

    Enjoy!

    I'm fairly sure I could get you a casual farm job in the Grey Valley on a mates farm.
    Very big place and a serious operation. Always something needing to be done there.
    On the West Coast its always good to have a base to go back to and dry / sort out before the next mission.

    But sadly according to @R93 ""It's closed to huntting and fishing indefinitely"".
    Thats a bit of a shame as I was planning on going over there soon !

    Just to be more specific, it is closed from the Taramakau to the Kaipo.
