    Was just thinking that it might be sensible to to team them up with more experienced members as it is a winter trip and if it's like the lower whirinaki there will be some shitty bits to deal with on those hills.
    Good call Barefoot. I'm pretty new to hunting but with experience before with tramping I'm fairly comfortable in the bush off track.

    Yeah, more worried about changing weather, freezing temps etc. Not sure why, more the unknown than anything else!

    It's not a silly thing to worry about. Pack warm, stay dry, bring a space blanket in your emergency kit. Coming with some guys who have done it before is the best thing you can do.

    I actually already asked Rushy for a gear list
    Should I share it on here? Or is it not necessary?

    From what I have seen of your bushcraft skills Phillip you would be fine to take someone less experienced with you. Barefoot you can count me as knowing my way around but I have agreed to hunt with Toby as he will likely not be physically able to take on the hills
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Toby, I would think so. I was speaking with Barefoot at the weekend and he suggested that we go down in his ute as there is more room in the back for gear so the decision to pick you up will ultimately rest with him but I also remember Gibo offering to pick you up so one way or the other I am sure we will get you there from Rotorua

    There will be room in the ute, even if we tie you to the roof rack. So you will have a seat with either myself or Gibo
    If we took Rushy's toy there would be no room for venison on the way back!
