Your videos are a real credit to you, as is your dedication to this great sport and your physical endurance.
You just need to get a sense of humour and you will be pretty much the well rounded chap.

shush Bruce, you're embarrassing me

It's a bit contrived, but you have to convey movement somehow... the alternative is the "selfie-stick-wanker" angle which I've started experimenting with...

Sick man. Epic trip. Bet that 9.5 hour walk out with a full pack was plenty of fun

Thanks for that effort Gimp. That's classic NZ hunting in one of the tougher pieces of country. Full marks for showing a great hunt and how quality of trip isn't counted in points of antler.

Also, a good follow up to making the "lightweight rifle".

Scope caps ? I've never used them because as soon as I cover the lens after opening it gets covered in condensation. Do you wipe dry with cloth, use lens liquid or keep it shut till ready to shoot ?

Try to keep them dry til ready to shoot, and carry a lens cloth in a ziplock bag... still trying to find the perfect combo for dry lenses in heavy rain and mist... The tenebraex caps don't seal perfectly so they let mist in.

Epic mate. Love your filming and editing style. Ive the same pack as you but haven't done the distance.with it as yourself. How did you find it comfort wise. Also, great STAG! Congratulations.

Wicked video gimp. Must get a buzz not just from the hunt but from making such a good video you can watch anytime.

As usual I loved the commentry haha

The pack doesn't like heavy loads... more than 20 odd kg and it starts putting all the weight on the shoulders. Some of the compression straps are going too. Thanks!
