@Thar, yes. Jim was the President of the Manawatu Tramping and Skiing club when I met him. Our family joined the club when we met him and stayed part of it for a couple of decades. He ran great bushcraft courses every year. Was always a mine of information. And was pretty fit for his age. Mind you I think he had always been a racing sardine Bought my first rifle from him when I turned 16.
