Thread: Old school hunting

I'm glad the pic has tickled a few's fancy. It brings me bck to reading all those old early hunting books when I was a kid. Tales of carrying blankets and wearing army greatcoats up into the Alps. Rex Forrester books in the early culling days using 303's and living on venison, rice, salt, tea and having to soak army biscuits before they could eat them... I was born far too soft for those days!

the worst stuff was the dried egg powder - revolting stuff - really only good for baking - we used it to make pikelets on wet days -
