He WAS Lost ..... I didn't make the situation any better when I well Fu*k me I'm lost too.

He had only been in the country a week , had been decked out in all the gee whaas at a local Hunting & Fishing store and had told his misses he was going hunting in the Kawekas.

I found him in the Ruahine.

we climbed out of the creek and I took him back to his car. That made him much happier.

Don't think he hunts at all now.

Cheers

On that Note who has stumbled across someone or a group lost in the bush? could start a new thread on this...
made me think of a Tararua crossing a group of us did a few years back where after 40mins or so after leaving the car park the weather turned to shit, classic central plateau snow storm, half turned back the other half pushed forward as the front crew where running it, along the way we came across an old couple who weren't prepared for the adverse weather trying to take shelter behind some boulders on the track and one of them was already pretty cold and they didn't know weather to both stay or for one to go for help, they were fuckn lucky we were dumb enough to trek it that day. gave them some warm kit and walked them out...
