    My gear doesn’t really change when I trip south. The only exception would be ice axe and crampons if I go down for rutting/winter Tahr. You will work out any adjustments you need to make once you get into it.

    some ten power binos and site your rifle in for 200m

    learn to shoot up and down hill and what effect it has on your trajectory

    I clean missed a tahr up a hill first time seeing one

    get ready for hearing how you come from the pig island
