Thread: stashing gear in the bush

It's pretty obvious when it's just gear left behind and not a well conceived stash.

I found an abandoned camp last year with a 2 man tent and gear left behind just in a heap.
When I went to pack it all up I found the receipt for the tent and gear from Torpedo 7.
My guess was walk in and camp or hunt and walk out with none of the gear they had brought or their rubbish.
All the dried meal bags left behind empty were T7 price labeled.

Gear is so cheap now some people will just leave stuff everywhere and never return.

I took a photo and told the local DoC office and they had been told about it and were intending getting it out when staff were in there.
Sad thing is it was only 1 hour from the road end and less the 5kg of gear and rubbish !
