I saw there was mention of a gear list earlier, if this can be PM'd or put up that would be awesome!
    +1 for the gear list please rushy!

    Sublimeone / Spudattack this is what I sent to Gibo. It is not a definitive list but more in the fashion of a guide.

    Given the time of year that we will be there I recommend you take:

    Rifle, ammunition, knife, map, compass (GPS optional), torch / headlamp and any other of your normal hunt gear (day pack PLB etc)
    Small cooker, knife, fork, spoon, plate, mug, pot/pan or billy.
    Sleeping bag (4 season)
    At least one change of warm clothing (note it will be cold so gloves and beanie also recommended) for wearing after the hunt. Jacket
    With regard to food that will be dependent upon how this ultimately gets organised (i.e. supply your own or group together). Irrespective take whatever snacking foods you want for during the day.
    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

    An addition to the gear list if you dont have one in your emergency kit would be a space/emergency blanket. They are those big shiny tin-foil things you see recovering people wrapped up in. Takes up about the same amount of room as a sandwich and only costs 5-10 bucks.

    She loves the free fresh wind in her hair; Life without care. She's broke but it's oke; that's why the lady is a tramp.

    Hold on let me turn around and look . . . .
    Yup, looks like a chessie, swims like a chessie, shits like a dog and needs a wash, I'm pretty sure he's a chesapeake bay retriever
    Next time you visit Rushy stop by on the way home and I'll introduce you. As I said he is as laid back as that breed gets, he gets it from his dad, certainly didn't come from the bitch.
