    Biv Etiquette

    Being a bit closer to the action these days I have found myself doing a lot more over-nighters and hunting the front country a bit more.

    In doing so I have found a few handy bivs. Great distance in to spend the night on a 2 day hunt, maximizing hunting time.
    Just wondering if there is any commonly accepted etiquette around crashing in one of said biv's, aside from the (should be) obvious ones of leave things tidy take your rubbish with you.
    Ive crashed at biv sites a few times but not stayed in any of the flasher numbers.

    Cheers

    Keep it tidy and stock up the wood supply and no one should have any issues.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Yeah man, my general rule is unless it's my spot x or bivy, it's not mine to share. Makes things simple, and has led to people trusting me with some very cool spots.

    If you find shelter in the bush on public land it's yours to use imo however, don't use resources people have brought in that you find (gas, food etc) and make sure it's in better nick when you leave it than when you found it (dry kindling, wood, water) and don't, ever, tell anyone about it - people go to great lengths and effort to make nice little spots to enjoy the outdoors from, good on them.
