Thread: stashing gear in the bush

I leave

Rope
Part gas canisters
3 rounds of my primary big game rifles ammo
A pair of laces
Any left over dried well packages food
Some matches or a lighter
Candle
Water bottle
Boot laces
Foil
Spare plastic bags
A pillow case for meat
Cup
Spork

I don't leave gear necessarily where I camp buy somewhere strategic well along a route where it gives me multiple options on the way in or out to pick up or drop off supplies.

Now that I have an InReach I can decide to stay longer and inform my wife.
Hunt through to a stash and pick up extra supplies.

And apart from the buried one in the Kaikoura's they all come out eventually or I give the info to a protégé who will use the area once I've shown them around and how to hunt it

the difference mate is you are thinking about what you stash and others know where so often just left and dumped

Yeah I get that

Big difference being strategic about having stuff there for a change of plans
And being a lazy #### and leaving your gear behind
