    The only advice I could give a new hunter is, as the seasoned hunters who have spent time out of the tops will know, is to buy really really good boots and a really really good sleeping bag...to hell with the cost...the weather can turn to custard in our little country very very quickly...
    Dougie, Gapped axe and Scouser like this.
    ...amitie, respect mutuel et amour...

    ...le beau et le bon, cela rime avec Breton!...

    Great advice there!

    When I was working at an outdoors shop and selling sleeping bags, I would always tell the men who came in to buy what they wanted for themselves and then a warmer bag for your wife! When she's out crying about cold toes all bloody night, you'll be wishing you paid the extra $300 for her bag..

    I special ordered a bag through H&F about six years ago now; it sure does the business. Comfort to -30degrees, cost me a little over a grand. Money well spent.
    She loves the free fresh wind in her hair; Life without care. She's broke but it's oke; that's why the lady is a tramp.

    Yeh but you are a tough prick Scouser.
    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
