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.

Yeh but you are a tough prick Scouser.

Build some relationships with NZDA, gun clubs and gun shops ... and read heaps ... magazines, books, internet, ... I agree with earlier comments - get up to the tops and get up 2 hours earlier.
Soak it up. ATB and keep safe in those alps.

All the best gear in the world will still get you killed if you have no mountain nous. Cant stress strongly enough join NZDA at least for a couple of years. Do a Hunts course.
Get out there with experienced guys. It will make your hunts not only enjoyable but put a lot more meat in your chiller.

Great thread - good reading for another newby.
