    Word I got was a permit type system with route on it. If you’re not on the route, bend over. How they now I’m not going to the supermarket, I don’t know. Checkpoints coming up if it gets abused, and total lockdown.

    Don’t my think about yourself, but think about Rushy and Macca, Tahr and co. Anyone who’s had chemo, respiratory issues etc are vulnerable. I know I wouldn’t want that on my conscience. Your father, favorite uncle......

    Also got told, if the numbers don’t start dropping, it’ll keep getting extended with tighter conditions.
    One person could’ve potentially infected up to 1000 on day 10.
    So suck it up for 28 days, get over yourselves and think about the vulnerable around you and your family, or even this family. By the time it’s done it’s course, someone on here will have lost a loved one or know of someone

    Well sorry to burst the ole stay home stay safe method, I've selling guns and ammo for the past 2 week faster than ever. Interacting with hundreds of people a day working at a gun shop.

    And tomorrow hopefully I'll be off chasing Stags, if I get sick ill go home, I'll go by myself. I won't see anyone esle, I won't hear anybody esle, I will be the most furtherest thing from any virus you could be, listening to red Stags up high going off there rockers.

    I won't be hurting anyone, affecting anyone. I've been guiding for 10 years this will be my first year off I can go for myself,
    I'm sorry lads I don't agree with most of you here, I am all for keeping everybody safe but me walking in for a hunt and camping out for a week or 2 in a tent in bumfuck Egypt far from anybody is far more productive, But you enjoy your time at home.

    I've lived with a Auto immune disease for most of my adult life, almost died Several times from it, been in and out of hospitals for years, had more cancer drugs and catabolic steroids than most people so I am going to enjoy the time I am well, if some virus wants to kill me good luck, I can't even kill me (immune system)

    Trained in SAR and got all satellite coms and Trackers.

    Well it's been made clear that we can, and should go out for exercise, so what does it matter if it's in a park, down the road, or on a beach? Seriously, whats the difference? The beach where we are is wide and almost deserted. Much less likely there to come across people than strolling down the road.

    I'm sure we will likely get some knob head who wants to stop anyone doing this, but would be happy to see them ambling down the main street!

    I am self isolating from today but I have a niggling concern about mail deliveries ; how clean are all the letters, invoices newpapers etc. We are rural mail.
    woody, if you are worried about infection on your mail etc, use a hair dryer on a hot setting for a few minutes ,the virus can't survive in temp over 26deg

    Idoits like you that that have no self control and cant think of others. Yes, it sucks,yes, in the bush you safe from the virus but thats not the f ken point. Rules and condations have been made to
    to try beat this virus. People just have no idea how bad this can get and will get if you dont stay at home.
    I have no doubt this lockdown wil lcarry on way more than 4 weeks and likely to get worst.
    Why?
    Because NZers, well, alot of them are brain dead idoits. I see groups now all together and lining up in a supermarket etc brushing against each other. Its like, WTF.
    Its people like you that are going to do as you like because you think it doesnt matter and only think of yourself.
    Im sure others will hunt as well, im sure others will do as one pleases and im sure because people cant follow the rules people will die.
    The lockdown will go on longer than 4 weeks. If that happens maybe actually being locked in your home and not to leave your property could quite well happen apart from getting food etc.

    I hope we hear no reports from you about "How this roar was"from you on here. You should be staying home, even worst you clearly shouldnt be going overnight and if thats what you going to do i have two words.
    Selfish Idoit.
    And i propose people that openly want to give the finger to the rules to be banned on here, lets start with this guy!!

    I asked my wife the same question about liquor stores. She said that alcoholics are at risk if they dont have access to booze. She worked in addiction services for a few years. I don't think the govt thought about this aspect as they have now told them to close. Maybe a few will turn up at A&E after consuming meths. This is going to be a tough few weks on everyone.

    I think most of us know that solo hunting gives little to no chance if bumping into anyone and its killing me that i have to stay off public land for a few weeks but we have to follow the rules and do whats best. If for no other reason than it will give the anti gun nuts more ammunition to pile on the hate if its in the press.

    Just do the right thing and stay at home going insane or take up another hobby. Im going to break out the paintbrush

    Like everyone else here, I'm pretty pissed off that my roar trips are off and I've never been a fan of being told what to do. Like most I consider myself capable and self-reliant in the hills and see little if any chance of bumping into someone else or requiring SAR assistance. The temptation to sneak away is strong BUT as part of the bigger picture I am going to adhere to the rules and not go anywhere. We could all take the stance of Goosebayhunter and designate ourselves to be the exception to the rule, but then nothing changes and the lockdown is pointless. Imagine if all other parts of the community took that stance as well.

    It's a shit and I'm grumpy about it, but I'm staying home.

    The thing is that help WILL be available. SAR will come out and will all be mixing to rescue someone who didn’t think the rules should apply to them. That puts each of their families at risk because someone couldn’t put their hobby to one side for a few weeks. As much as we all say “I won’t need SAR, I won’t get hurt” we don’t know that. It just takes one bit of bad luck. Anyone that thinks it could never happen to them is deluding themselves. And to say “Don’t come get me” isn’t realistic either.

    Don’t be selfish. Stay at home

    Bad luck; car crash; heart attack (yes, fit mountain walkers get them too); whatever. Stay at home and don't risk putting more pressure on the emergency services.
