Thread: Report on my shortest ever hunt

That sucks Clint, knees are bastard things once they start playing up, have had reconstruction surgery twice on my right knee, the second time after being hauled out if fiordland by helicopter after it collapsed three days into our Wapiti ballot we had been planning for all year, that incident could have actually turned out pretty bad as I went face first downhill with the weight of my pack behind me. Im beginning to get an all too familiar niggly pain in my left knee now also.
I find that a brace and walking pole helps immensely as its the downhills that are the killer for me, although I have been silly a few times and havent taken my brace as I sweat heaps wearing it and end up with a rash, its like always walking along a razors edge, its ok but always on my mind that it could collapse at any time.
