    Safety question

    Going camping tomorrow for a couple days weather looks crap my question is I'm worried the creeks may fill up to a dodgey level would I be best to take a rope and leave it tied off to a tree on the opposite side for my return trip ?

    Yeah I'm in two minds it just a bit of rain by the sounds but I do know this particular creek gets a good dirty flow once it's rained for a bit

    Why bother with the risk?! Go somewhere else or stay at home. I'm lucky I have lots of spare time so never end up going out if the forecast is dodgy

    Is there a plan b walk out route??

    Don't mess with high or fast rivers as they take no prisoners

    Plan a hunt with no rivers to cross
    Went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't find any.

    I like the spirit: thinking in advance that I can do X to overcome Y. That may save your life one day. But don't mess with the rivers. You know that. That's why you are posting and are just hoping for a better answer than the truth. Fair enough we all do mate.

    You know the right answer. Go buy a book and then light the fire. There is always another weekend.

    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
