Very nicely put together Gillie

Gives a good representation of a fun day, and the types of challenges to expect.

I see you edited out the bit where I asked J about the size of the deer she was gutting

A lot of stuff got edited out really... some of the comments and conversations we got on film were such that I would have had to put a age restriction on the video! Would have required parental supervision!

There have been a whole bunch of suggestions for next year so it wouldn't surprise me if the event was vastly different next year. Different course layout - potentially two separate shorter courses. Pick up all competitors still on the course at a set time in the afternoon... A lot of thinking / planning to go into next years event.

Cool video simon, eben... such a hero!!

I see @Philipo noting the location of the sheep for the after party

To be honest that section of video with someone playing with their map (Malaysian airlines joke) - I have no idea what that person is trying to do with their compass/map. Maybe @Philipo knows what that person is doing?

Hahahaha yes thats all part of the show, nothing like a bit of comic relief, just like the bit where my mag falls out

And yes boys, please don't let my "sheep locator" secret out yet as there's plenty of money to be made out'a people from the Wairarapa & Southland.

Baaaaaaraaaaaaa Beep beep beep

Regardless, it was a very good day and I believe the competition has great merit for the future and deserves a lot of support.

Jeez Gillie, that's harsh man !

After the event @Philipo told me that he had developed this shit-hot new technique for triangulating a sheep's position using map and compass only.

Now you go an blow the poor guy's secret wide open and even release video evidence

Shhhhhhh. Watch out or there will be an invasion of Aussies.
