    Bad decision....

    Macauly river at the Lilybank crossing Saturday......... so who has lost their Prado lately?

    People have really got to stop using pretend 4wds only suitable for gravel roads for crossing in strong river flows of any depth.

    Maybe just learn what a decent reconnaissance is, and when and where to cross a river.
    Its not the vehicles fault.

    Like the Burnham crowd in the Waimakariri a few years back.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    Think the poor buggers were camped on the river bank a couple of weeks as punishment to guard the vehicle and stash of firearms before giving up the search.

    I learned recently that water is responsible in 100% of drownings. It's time we banned water

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Ah yes but you could make untraceable projectiles out of super cooled water.

    AND............................the Govt can't TAX IT.

    I can think of 2 far more dangerous products that do waaaaaaay mpore harm than the odd whoopsie with a firearm (which is bad in itself) but no way will that change given the amount of tax taken.
    Trust the dog.........................................ALWAYS Trust the dog!!
