Just make sure you keep your arse pointed in the direction of the camp fire to keep the bugger going and pray you don't get a flashback

You boys are getting a bit carried away with all this fixation on farting. What is the problem with the odd expulsion of pressure? As long as it isn't sharting then all is good.

It can be a very high risk manoeuvre...what one got away with in years gone by takes on a whole new meaning with a bit of age.

It may be a change do diet but just lately I could fill a 9KG CNG / LPG bottle while relaxing each evening.

We attempted to take quad and 2 trail bikes up track got thru the first slip just, after a lot of effort then came to 2nd one and it was impassable. So we walked up to the summit counting 15 big slips and I mean BIG, hard to even find the track again once you get thru the debris. seen abit of fresh prints on track after the logging slip site. we seen the farmer that owns land backing on to old forestry and he sed they wont be looking at fixing track till next summer if at all. we carried on up to 100 acre clearing but by time we got ther was to dark to see. Its a big mission 20km round trip and no sign for half of it. Wont be doing it again in a hurry. Defiantly deer up ther but shes a big carry out.

I guess that you missed the two "road closed" signs spaced 2 km apart before entering the track and the hand written sign at track start stating that track was not usable due to slips. There have been three deer (that I know of) taken from the area on and around the "one hundred acres" since track became "walk in only". The track will be reopened, the biggest hurdle is waiting for the guy from council to "pop the spud" so the 4 wheel drive clubs can start clearing road...a plan is in place...if all goes well, track will be opened by spring.

its alright guys I have a zimmer frame some one can borrow even has its own seat
