Thread: Hunter rescued by helicopter after accidentally stabbing himself

Don't have one and can't afford it. The only time I have been in danger of my life was in South Auckland and Redfern in Sydney. The wife is dead keen on the insurance money anyway; the bush isn't nearly dangerous enough for her liking. She gets pouty after watching Housewives of something or another, when I explain to her that hunting is mostly walking around in some trees. Can't you climb a cliff or something, she says.

While its your choice to carry one or not, for around $30 per year ($300 for a 1 year usage) it would be less than the price of ammo......Though I gather you post is mostly tongue in cheek, tell your wife that fighting the insurance company to ACTUALLY to get them to pay out is harder than taking your money as you earn it. She is well better off with you still alive, lets try keep it that way......

Mate I make billies out of peach tins. (I have a cooker made out of a coffee tin. I go, SSHHHHHHH really loudly and people think its a bought one, but its just a bit of kero spilled on some twigs.) I dont buy knives. I find the ones other hunters lose. Same with hats.

But $30 a year is cheaper than I thought.

I got mine of Cooeebay and it was $300 with a 10 year battery. I asked about a replacement battery and he said they were available but in 10 years the tech involved will likely be cheaper to buy a newer better one......We have panic / raid alarm butons at work, and I now carry mine when driving on the highways as well....

Ha ha. When I go hunting the last thing my wife says is "a chicken would be nice".

In both of those locations help might not arrive quickly enough
