Are you wearing a sneaky camo tie at your weeding VC?
I've stopped there a number of times and camped a few over the years but never actually hunted the area.
The spot NZHTR suggested as a campsite is a nice wee spot.
Let me know when your thinking for the recce hopefully it can be slotted in, like most people life gets very busy over the next couple of months.
Yes I hear you on that. Will do.
How many people are coming?
How long is a piece of string on this one Toby .Ive been on organised Deerdoker hunts and the chopper has flown 10 our so trips with 3 to four peeps per trip ,ya jus never no on numbers .. trips in these places needs a guard dog at camp, it sucks ta draw the short straw thinkin back one young dude pulled G/D three days in a row fuk hows those odds ah poor prick haha - i always hold the straw jus so its fair lol .
Im thinking of just being lazy and staying at camp but would anyone want me to bring a gun for them to use if I come?
If you guys wanna carry me I will come no shit. We will see how I get on. Maybe just bring the crutch's if I need to aye.
May as well mate. we'll sort ya out + its gotta beat sitting round home a
Hell yes, been away from it since August im dying not being out bush.
I'd be keen to come along, will just have to see a bit closer to the time before I can be 100% sure.
I like the idea. Will have to wait and see when the time comes. I am a very very young man haha.
Hard to try and plain for in a few weeks let alone next year
OK guys the enquiry that I have made about permission to camp at the end of Waipakihi Road indicates that permission will not be granted. Although there was strong indication that people do just camp there anyway, I am unsure whether we would all want to go through the effort of getting there and take the chance (however unlikely) that we could be thrown out. As an alternate plan there is a DoC camp ground a little further North down Kaimanawa Road where we would not have that risk and this camp is in close proximity to the Urchin and Umukarikari tracks. Thoughts?
As long as its flat and big enough for me to set up my tarp im good.
I was going to post some pics of the Kaimanawa rd and Urchin camp sites but the only one I could find is up near the top.... But there is reasonable space at both sites... Urchin was wet under foot when I was there but it had been pissing down
we should be all right in summer, some area I can set this up? or something similar.

Just don't clean your teeth by the light of a headlamp round there, aye.
Lol very good point.
If i can make it down i will bring a 8 man raft so we can have a couple of runs down the river (also depends on the water level)
trout fishing with the .303 :D

Zoom out a bit and you will get the idea there Happy
Toby we are not hunting together or stayin at camp together unless u change ur avatar as commented on earlier it is disturbing Dundee was it ????
Guess we ain't gonna be camping together :D I will sit in there on my lonesome drinking homebrews, im not bring a gun btw, unless someone wants to borrow it then they can.
So you wanna come to my camp?
This is starting to sound like you guys should have you own private camp:wtfsmilie:
No homo... Nah I just thought I was gonna be a loner so I was going to bring the small tarp for my self to save weight for my poor ole legs but if someone else wants a place to snooze I will bring the big one.
hey if you dudes want to fish the tongariro you have to buy a local fishing licence for the area because the one that covers all of nz wil not cover you in the taupo area. it sucks. also be careful where you fish on the river because some of it is restricted area. there is a big bunch of rules. yip there is a few good camp sites around the area, but been a long weekend you would want to get in early. and if going for a hunt i would wear sum form of blaze orange. it is an intresting area and has a bit of history, there is tunnel races and an underground powerstation all to do do with the local power generation scheme. built back in the late 60s early 70s. that is why turangi exisits today.
Make sure the camp site is by a river or creek with nice cold water

Kaimanawa rd has about 10 camp sites and is on the rivers edge or near enough to it, Urchin you would want to take some containers to cart water as its about 1.5-2k to the river and it also fits about 10 tents. Kaimanawa is more popular so if full its not far to Urchin
I want a creek or river close enough to put some bottles in to keep em cold, beer is shit when warm.
