Had a similar 1-on-1 incident with a Pit Bull dog trying to chew our lapdog's throat, on a dog beach in WA. After the third attempt (our lapdog was pretty furry at the time), picked our one up,...

Used an ex-BHP Billiton supplied pack for a 3 dayer in the Tararua's - Monday after Kaikoura. Worked for BHP, 7 years, in NW of WA until I retired and came home. Weather was raining, blowing and...

Taught my two to shoot, when I was working at Marsden Point oil refinery expansion back in the early 80's. They learned how dangerous firearms could be when being played with, and Dad not there. PM...

Whereabouts Lower NI? If Tararuas, take hot/cold/wet/snow gear for multi-day trips. Plus gear as listed by all above. When it's dry - Aquatabs or similar are a must. When it's wet - tank water at...

What a magical experience. Makes my first 3day walk (in 50 years), through the Tararua's, earlier this week, look like an 'old man's' crawl. Thoroughly enjoyed reading of your success.

Shooting unmuffled 303's/L1A1's during my Air Training Corps/National Service days = $10K hearing aids 7 years ago. I don't hear very well with these either. My $0.02 worth, your choice. My...
