Back a couple of years ago I only had a day to do some hunting so popped down to Ngaruawahia to try to find a couple of goats.

I spent the whole day in the bush without any luck, and when I got...

Thanks guys. Will give it another stab tonight.

Hey guys,
My bolt lock (that keeps the bolt in the rifle) started failing on the Remmy recently as its become a bit gunked up with that hoppes solvent. I've stripped the thing down and have been...

Yeah I'll have a look at how much it costs to rent one of those splashes from the sailing club and get in touch. It'd be nice to get out on the water again.

Also you'd be crazy to buy a modern petrol over a diesel. Less horsepower, less torque, and it's all computer controlled now so regardless of what kind of fuel it takes when something goes wrong...

Doing that kind of mileage don't get something flash! It's a waste. You'll rack up the k's very fast. I do 800KM ish a week and I've had my truck I think two years (or not quite). I've put nearly...

Perhaps they're separate things entirely but I'm thinking:

* First aid.
* Edible and medicinal plants.
* Water treatment/collection.
* A bit of trapping/snares etc.
* Fire starting without any...

Well good luck Thomas. My cousin finished his basic training last year (or the year before, christ time goes quick). From what he was saying they push you pretty hard (as you'd expect :)).

Thanks I'll check it out. Unrelated but I was kind of keen on doing the hunts course but they weren't doing them for a while there.

Hey Rushy. I have a huge amount of respect for the folks in our armed forces (and I've had lots/got a few family members in the forces)… but I'm a government disliking bloke that likes his food a bit...

Hey guys
Has anyone done any survival training courses or anything they would recommend?

Perhaps I've just been watching too much Survivorman on Netflix but it has got me more interested in that...

I'd love to get out and do some sailing. I did a course sailing splashes last year. I don't have my own boat. Apparently you can rent them from like, the ponsonby cruising club. It was a lot more...

I'm going to lose my shed space in the next year as I've pinched some of my old mans shed space when he moved up north. I don't have a shed at my place (plenty of farm sheds but I can't use them).

Awesome job Possum Trapper. I remember my first goat well.

I've never got anything with a bow though. That must be something else.

I've always had good experiences with Serious Shooters in Ellerslie. I'm on a first name basis with the guys there and they always look after me and give me a good deal.

The latest was a bought a...

220? Jeez. My brother and I got 90 on a forestry block one weekend in te-kuiti and we felt like we were shooting constantly. Never got a pig before.


Well you gotta use enough gun :P

Lets just hope that crap doesn't spread over here. It only takes a few no-good politicians and a bunch of indifferent ones to make that kind of stuff happen.

I know what you mean. It's the same reason I dropped off the radar for a while. It was eating up lots of time. I'm getting back into it a little bit though. You been keeping busy busting up the local...

Yeah that hairy mess in the photo is me. Yep I'm holding up her fish. Truth be told I had to help her reel it in a little bit as it was a bit tough for her... but it's still her fish since she hooked...

Yeah that's a bit concerning. I always carry a full set of tools in my toolbox in the back of my truck... if a wheel brace gets you in the crap my toolbox would get me in trouble. I've had hoses come...

Hey Land Rover!

Fancy bumping into you here :P Good to see you again mate. Hope the CZ is keeping you entertained. I haven't seen you on the hummer forum for ages.

Bought the missus a new lightweight shimano rod for Christmas. We went up the Coromandal for a couple weeks and the first time we went out she caught the massive trevally on the right. 62cm. Not sure...

I went out last night too and bowled over a few hares and bunnies. I love my little HMR.

Only stopped to take a couple photos. We got about a dozen that night. We spent ages chasing this one...

Hey guys,
I popped down to Taupo for a shoot with my cousin. I really like Taupo, might be on the short list for moving when I'm ready to get far away from Auckland!

Not a bad pile of rabbits we...

Hey Rushy.
Will do. Thanks.
