Found this to be basic but will stop a serious bleed and splint a...

Just the feedback I was after, thanks all!

Have managed to save up enough to upgrade some optics and looking for some advice.

Having never used a superzoom camera out in the hills I don't know their full pros/cons.
I understand that...

I run Talley lows with a vx5 on a t3x which has the d18 barrel. Sits nice and has enough clearance for the bikini cover caps.

Looking at getting a couple of sea kayaks for the family to start exploring the sounds. I think I'm after 1 seaters, which have enough room to store a bit of gear to go camping/hunting/fishing.
I...

Young bull through the binos

DOC have some resources about Tahr bull numbers on their website. Should give you a bit of an insight into it.
Might be able to call heli operators and see where they fly into so you can avoid those...

Yep, suppressors are pretty awesome bits of kit.
I try to use ear pro when I can even with a suppressed rifle. Can't hurt to

Yep, I do a fair amount in trail runners. Know their limits and they are great.

I'll use the boots if its scree slopes, snowy/icy, nicer to kick the side of the foot in and holds its edge better.

Ended up taking a the bits I liked from different recipes.
Will let you lknow how it goes!

Looking for some insights into dehydrating some jerky.
Found a recipe on thewild.co.nz. Has anyone else tried this one?

Cheers

I’ve got the bx-2 alpine 10x42. Can’t fault them

Have you ever found it annoying that you can only type messages off the phone? I like not solely relying on just one device - can send messages off the in reach if my phone, dies, breaks etc - that...

Awesome video, what an experience.

Been running the bushbuck for a bit now.
One of the first nights I thought Id test it in 100km/h+ winds up on Lewis tops. Held up great.
Had it on snow up to 2000m. Went great.
I have the...

Great sources, cheers fellas. Keen to give some of them a try

Great people and great gear. Love their jackets.

kukuwai had a chance to eat this in the hills yet?
I've got an opportunity to play around with a dehydrator and wondering if you - or anyone else - had found some ripping meals that I could try out....

Im with ya there.
The soft crunch of frost underfoot. Misty breath rising up. Low angled sunrise glinted off everything.
Truly a serene moment.

Have seen quite a few of the 261c been absolutely flogged, but they keep going. Provided you're doing proper maintenance on them.
Neat little saw and they have got enough grunt to do some felling...

Awesome, might have to see whats around in 280ai and 7rm.
Had figured they were both pretty good just wondering if one was better in the long run. Thanks for the help!

Will be relying on factory loads for now but intend to slowly build up the reloading kit and get into that.

7rm looks awesome, but keen on something with a bit less recoil. Yep I miss out on a bigger bullet and greater impact while keeping similar ballistics as the 6.5prc. But at least I'll get to see...

Keen to start stretching my range out and looking at a tops rifle in 6.5 prc.

Think I have narrowed it down to Bergara B14 Extreme Hunter and Tikka T3x Veil. I really like that both options come...

Happy to be here!
