Thread: Hit the hills lads

Come Saturday she will be a no go!

Surely they can't lock the Mainland down? Nothing going on down here except a bit of hunting and shooting.

Half of Auckland got on planes and travelled to Queenstown in the past 36 hours.

Level 3 closes public hunting land. If anyone think the whole country wont be at Level 3, if not 4, after midnight tomorrow is naive. You have 28.6 hours to hit the public land!

If I'm naive but not in Auckland, can I go hunting instead?

Yep it a certain thing no doubt about it and I think it will come either later tonight or early tomorrow

The South Island should go back to level one tomorrow, my seven year old is going to nuts if he can’t play rugby Saturday And it will be canned again under level 2. At least we might still be able to go out for a whitebait.

Ahh sure
North Island can lock down
Mainland can cut the cable and watch you all drift away with not a light bulb glowing

Ya know the North supplies the South Island most of the time as we have a more diverse (hydro, thermal, wind, coal) supply of electricity. Occasionally it flows the other way.

Other way round bud.When power is flowing north to south it is constrained by network limitations in the Bunnythorpe/Woodville section. Usually only flows south when hydro dams are low. Wellington area is largest user of southern supplied power north of Cook Straight.

I don't really understand this regional hate thing - fuck off North Islanders? Or people hating on Aucklanders?
I've heard this "cut the cable" stuff for years and where does that sort of thing actually end up?

Do you think that people in the South really want to be their own nation?

Some people produce, some people consume - I know plenty of producers that look down their noses at consumers, yet they still take their cash for goods delivered

I think that this desire for separation will end up a curse on both our houses but hey, if you guys wanna secede, go for it

If so, I am curious - how would it work out? Capital in Chch?

Sadly I have to agree, I continue to hope for the best. Its gutting that the "team of 5 million" did as asked (scared in to compliance) and all was undone by our bungling burecratic masters. They would it seems struggle to get laid in a brothel even if they were all drunk!!

Wife’s been told to get homepacks ready to give out to the kids. Double check that they’ve all got the facilities at home ready for homeschooling again.
Although they’re probably being proactive rather than reactive. Better to have and not need, rather than needing and not having.

Good news, I just read this statement from the Game animal council. Tear into it until level 4 comes again.

Important change to Alert Level 3 rules

We have been advised that for any regions at Alert Level 3 you can now hunt on both private and public conservation land. You do need to stay within your region and stick to your bubble. Overnight trips are still not allowed and you may only hunt on foot — using quad bikes, off-road bikes, helicopters and other motorised vehicles is not allowed.

Level 2 rules remain the same.

Up-to-date information on current alert levels is available at: https://covid19.govt.nz/covid-19/current-alert-level/
