Thanks for writer up and nice photos.400yds is very doable with some range practice.Nothing wrong with taking 2 weeks food,3 or 4 day snow storm can drop in there any time.Pack of cards is handy if snowed in.Iv meet a few of those walkers doing the length of NZ,my evening meal at home would last them a week.Most of the older trampers well prepared,younger ones like you meet live on bugger all.Don't even carry a box of match's to light a fire.
What's good about that hut,nobody can drive to it.Not like the Macaulay hut which must get 2000 trucks a year to it door.
