well Bruce did the sight in first thing.....I always find my confidence goes up no end when 100% sure all is working right...definately a need to do ,after a miss,for peace of mind if nothing else.

And never trust ya mate when he says his rifle is sighted in, and you have just walked for a few hours up the hills in Kaikoura :oh noes:
Should have been a bit suspicious when he said his 270 was sighted in for 50m :wtfsmilie:

nice write up and a great read.

You guys are tough alright, well done on the venison long may it continue.

Stubborn would be a better word for it.

@Woody. Thanks for asking. She has had seed heads surgically removed from between her toes so is on bed rest for a while. I spent 2 weeks looking after a farm and she picked them up then.
In spite of that I am easing her outings back anyway because at 13 she is really starting to slow down . Bless her.

It's bloody hot for them at present too. Est wishes for her.

Great yarn, enjoyed it all.

@Tahr Nice work lads, yes I missed one before Xmas too, my fault no excuses but still embarrassing in front of a mate lol

How’s that wee day pack working out? Does it have a hydration bladder port?

Nice little pack. I thought it did but I cant find one and there is no pouch in it for a bladder. Anyway, the only bladder I use is mine. At night. Several times.

Hang about! Later. Yes there is a vent for a tube and the bladder goes in the padding pouch in the back. So all good for a bladder set up.

bahahahaha - "bridge too far" thats brilliant!

@outdoorlad
I loaded the pack up last night. Boned out HQ's and shoulder and backsteaks. Still room but that would be its limit for weight. I felt the load pulling back on my shoulder by the end of the trudge. There are better packs for load carrying but for light, simple and value this is pretty good.

A big old one. A pack filler.
