    Of course you are. You’re a Kiwi bloke. I have yet to get there as well.

    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

    You could have them with a side of Poitín, The original Irish Whiskey, that makes vodka look like tonic water.......

    and was made with potatoes.

    When at uni my two flatmates made a homebrew from potato peels. I had no wish to even taste it, fearing perhaps waking up blind. Anyway I believe their report that it tasted foul, but they had made it so now they would drink it. They did wake up next day, thankfully, and only with (blinding) headaches. They did not bother trying to perfect the art, it was a one off.

    When the correct technique is adopted/passed down, it's just like a strong bacardi......

    but you sip from the bottle cap, not the glass.......

    or you'll have some issues.

    Gday mate

    Do you have any stories from your time spent in some of Russia’s wild places? Being so far isolated must be pretty spooky at times when your way out there

    Of course, you are tough enough! If you can drink a bottle of vodka per night you are a welcome guest in every Russian party

    Well... I have a lot of stories, really.
    For example, I still remember how I tried to pull out a salmon, but the fish was big, and the coast was very slick, and I didn't know, who might win. Half an hour I fought with this fish, fell down a lot of times to the dirt, but finally pull it away

    Welcome, I have tried to tell a few people in NZ about Russian outdoors but not so much interest. When I first got married in Russia in the 1990s I loved this film.... lived /stay in Ryazan Oblast and have visited areas from Piter Karelia, Moscow , Volgagrad and south , and Altai.

    Oh, I visited all these places, they are so lovely and calmly. It is an incredible feeling when you can walk the whole day meeting nobody

    Plenty of opportunities for stunning photos down in Marlborough/Nelson area. If you have a 4x4 (or a car in summer) you can get up to Lake Chalice which has some nice views and if the ground is dry/not icy, consider carrying on up to the summit of Mt Patriarch (i think is the one?) as it has beautiful views and you can drive just about right to the summit (i think you might need a 4x4 to get there from Lake Chalice tho).

    Anyway, welcome to NZ!

    Welcome @Ilya. I was only telling a colleague this morning about how much I loved your country when I was there.

    If you are ever in Tauranga, give me a yell beforehand, a spare bed at my place, a few vodkas, and maybe a hunt.
