Huts that you can drive to seem to be steadily reducing in number as they get burnt down and not replaced
A good few years ago when I was 16 I was sitting on the porch of Totara Flats hut with my pack and rifle, 4 doc blokes landed their helicopter on the flats and came up to the hut, one of then started giving me a hard time saying if I didn't have a hut ticket I had to go somewhere else, I said I wasn't staying in the hut just sitting out on the porch with my pack. He still said I had to go somewhere else and demanded to see my rifle, I was only a kid and four grown men fronting me wasn't a good feeling, when the lippy bloke went to grab my rifle I stood up and told him to fuck off, he took a step forwards like he was going to step me out, one of his mates then told him to leave me alone as I was just a kid. I cant tell you how pissed off I was and that prick made me feel like a criminal, here I was at 16 thinking this grown man (tough guy wanabe) was going to flatten me. It would be a different story these days if that happened, the bloke would be picking up his teeth and crawling back to his chopper, I should have made an official complaint to DOC but I was young and didn't know what to do. I must admit for a few years after that I had a strong disliking for DOC because of one assholes attitude when they should have been encouraging young fellas like me.
Since then I have met some outstanding fellas that work for DOC over the years who have gone out of their way to help me out in the bush, telling me where the animals are, giving me a lift on their quads/4x4.
I would read it :DQuote:

Had a chick scream and run back down the track from Mt Fox once. That was a laugh. A mate and I were about 16 and had chamois heads strapped to our packs. Certainly wouldn't mince my words to anyone kicking up a fuss.
Most people are good.most of the time. Just get the odd bad egg on both sides.
One idiot I encountered asked me on seeing the .303... "how close would I have to be for you to shoot me"...the question scared me that much I forsook my greatly anticipated cuppa, left and got to Rocks Ahead fair gasping for one of Ceylon's finest!!
"One step closer"
If you were traveling from Back Ridge, I bet you were gasping !Quote:

To get in i answered. But we are in here came the reply. Open the the door i said. Then heard some whispering. I took one step back ready to give the door a boot when it was opened. The two trampers were not happy to be sharing the hut and asked me to sleep in the porch on the dirt. No chance. If you dont want to share the sleeping space you sleep on the dirt. Some people just dont think. Some people are just dicks when it comes to interacting with others. Made sure a made as much noise as possible when i got up at 4.
I suspect you interrupted some backcountry tramper man love.Quote:

I'm so glad I stopped dateing before tinder etc!
If you blokes and not familiar with tinder then you need to fire up grinder and start swiping right like mad to see if that's more to your tastes.
I wouldn't know bro as I haven't used it myself. I don't judge though so thanks for sharing your experiences.Quote:
