    Roughing it I see. Ha ha ha ha
    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

    Trailer name is Stealth
    I'm not picking that stealth is really what these guys are about
    If you can't get there with internal combustion as your primary source, you can't get there

    To be fair though. There are some big spaces in mainland USA, so big distances to cover to get to wherever you want to be

    Mate... these jokers are “out of control”..... the post was for interpretation.... your guess is as good as mine... I hunt the “kiwi-way” here.... that amuses them to the nth degree...

    .... but in saying that...... there is some big territory here ... with some big animals.... some here will attest to that....years ago ago I would have said ... “ what a bunch of wankers”..... I’ve dialed down the attitude somewhat,the country possesses some fine hunting...ifs just a matter of how you get to it

    I lived in Alaska for 10 years and flew into Siberia on many occasions,those blokes never had what these yanks have,but they all wished they could..... are we getting lazier????
