Another Nevada wearer here. Best boots I’ve ever owned. Current ones have been going strong since beginning of 2020 and have heaps of life in em yet. I don’t wear em daily but they’ve probably had...

Have enjoyed the US versions over the years. The last few seasons have all got a bit samey as they've all been Arctic based- they last a couple weeks before it starts freezing and the fishing dies...

I mostly drink water, but will have a vitasport sachet each day in the hills. I also carry a few miso sachets and will make a mug of miso soup every evening and most mornings. Good amount of sodium...

Saw the photos of your 12 on Facebook. Good stuff mate. Nice timing too, it'll be mad in there this weekend.

My manager has two of these. She had one litter about a year ago, and was exceptionally picky when it came to the genetics for breeding, and she won't be doing subsequent litters. Her second one is...

Honestly, either would be sweet, especially for starting out and for round Chch. In my opinion it won't really make much difference for your first few years. The biggest benefit for you for the first...

Will be out pretty much every weekend from the second half of March til end of April. The biggest downside to my current job is that Feb-April is by far the busiest period of the year for my team, so...

On that note- TwinNeedle are not too far off releasing the updated version of their Big Molly which I believe is around the 50L mark. Very similar design to the MollyMe.

I was in there last in October 2021. Was primarily a fly fishing trip, but I took along a rifle just in case we saw a deer, but we weren’t actively hunting. Saw plenty of deer sign on the track down...

Perfect, sounds very similar to what I've been using- 2-5kg rod, 2000 size reel, 4lb braid, and 6-10lb leader. Caught plenty of kahawai and a couple of searuns with it. Hell of a good time on the...

Boner is that the place above Yuki? Seems to have changed a few times in the last few years. Yuki is one of my Dunedin faves though.

I lost the mouthpiece from my hydration bladder on a hunt with my brother last year. Didn't notice til I took my pack off back at the hut and my pack leaked all over the floor. Three months later I...

MB How light are you talking? What rod/braid/leader strains are you fishing?

Sharki yeah same here mate. Agree regarding the stuff they put into treats- that’s another reason I do my own as I know they’re 100% raw product with no additives of any kind.

Sharki definitely expensive. People are prepared to spend big money on their pets so the shops can charge what they want for that stuff.
20 Bore I just use the oven as it means I can get a few big...

Always amazes me how much pet shops charge for dried deer organs as dog treats. $20 for a 100 gram bag seems to be the going rate for deer liver/heart/lung etc at places like Animates.

Just...

About 3-4 years ago when flying with a firearm (Dunedin to Wellington) I got off the plane and headed over to the special items area, and they'd just left it on the ground to be claimed, along with...

My brother and I took a couple of mates into one of our spots in October last year. We shot two deer on a clearing just on last light. Decided to quickly set up the tarps while we still had light and...

I use a Macpac one. Like others have said- not fully inflated is best. Used a rolled up jacket for years but the pillow is a big step up in comfort for bugger all extra weight.

My brother uses a...

STC how do you find the Opalus? I fly camp for 99% of my trips, but am starting to take the pup out a lot and would prefer a tent when with him- I like the idea of the decent vestibule on the Opalus,...

Looks great. I am itching to get back down from Welly for a trip around my old stomping ground. Keen for some tasty wild lamb.

The last couple of first aid courses I went to had simulator AEDs so you could still practice with them on the dummies. I'd like to do one of the pracmed courses at some point. Have only heard good...

hunter AI.7mm08 got a GSP. He’s my first pup so just wanna make sure I don’t put him in a bad spot. Appreciate the razene recommendation.

I’m about ready to start taking my almost 18 month old pup out for his first proper hunts. I’m a bit nervous about ongaonga/stinging nettle as there is some scattered around the DOC block I do most...

Out with Scapa on a wee bush training session recently. Was focussed on training rather than hunting but took the rifle along just in case. Training is coming along nicely at almost 18 months old....
