    We haven't been able to tee up a time where both our shifts work together. Mrs and I are going to Luggate from boxing day to the 4th Jan so going for a few armed camping walks around the tops of Makarora.

    Might have to find an excuse to drive up to Nelson and say hi. Will meet you at Rotoiti?

    Be careful with Nibblet VC. He is a fairly decent young fellah and still impressionable and could be easily influenced into buying you grog. I may have to come down and supervise.
    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

    Has anyone owned a Vorn and an Eberlestock? Or compared both in a head to head? Thoughts on one vs the other?

    I'm in the market for a decent sized pack. Nothing huge but able to fit tent, sleeping bag, ammo, torches, rifle, binos, couple days food, etc. What sort of litre-age would people recommend for a pack able to fit all that for a 2-3 day trip?

    I have slightly different take on things. For anything that is not a day walk, I take a BIG pack (70-90lt) Fill it half way, use compression straps to make it smaller. This way you don't end up with 3,4 or more packs, and you have lots of room to carry out meat...

    I was about to ask that actually. Vietnamcam, how much room is left in a 35-40l pack for meat if you pack it with everything for a 2-3 day trip?

    I am interested in having just one pack for more than a day walk, and keeping my crappy little shoulder bag for the day trips.

    You will fit all meat from a red in a 35-40l and your gear,strap it on the outside if you have to.

    Started with a pouch on a belt(day hunts) got 75-80l pack then a few years ago got a day pack.
    My day pack will not handel the weight of meat and you end up wearing everything in the heat of the day that should be in your pack.

    The big pack while it can be used for overnighters with room to spare always gets something(usually lots of things) not required in it and even half empty is a big bulky sweaty prick of a thing.

    hence the overnighter pack.

    big pack is for fly/boat/drive in med pack for walkin.
