    Deer hunting routines.s

    This year I have spent too much time on the internet, so bought some new gear. Haven't quite got the proper hang of it yet, but in those (few) cases I hung it properly, the hammock offered good rest. At 200 grams it was easy enough to put in the sack. Need a fair bit more practice setting up camp with this gear though.

    Definitively I need a larger tarp for this system to work, with 20 cm extra each end I need a low and perfect pitch to be protected against the rain with the least amount of wind.

    The actual deer shooting went too fast for the camera, and I had a minor "fail" in not refilling the magazine, allowing deer no 3 to escape. Usually I have my reserve ammunition in a fixed spot but...

    Looks like any pine forest here in NZ. Like the videos.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Thanks. No the Ridgeline was bought locally. It doesn't measure up to my Norrøna Finnskogen, but new Norrøna Finnskogen doesn't measure up to old Norrøna Finnskogen anymore either (new poorer membrane and new "fashion" cut).

    The Ridgeline however, have the right colour and surface for 1/4 the price so for now that will do just fine. I'm hoping to lobby them for a few changes.,(I'm Norwegian, I was received by doctors in anoraks) but that might be a little difficult.

    Haharrrrr and a sense of humour!!!!!!.....you will go far my man!!!!!!!,....I agree new 'gear' never replaces the older/better gear.....The search, like women, is never ending!!!!!!!
