Got one of those, also a hooded puffer jacket. Suppose for a cripple like me a bit of sitting watching will happen.Quote:

Take your wooly undies.
Or sit lower where the deer are sheltering
It will still be cold at 500m.Quote:

I like the sounds of that. They can come down to me, rather than me have to struggle up to them. Sure they have younger legs than me.Quote:

I plan on playing chauffeur and just "learning from the legends" , last time I stayed in a back country hut was before I was married and "house" took priority over "hunting" all my hunting/camping stuff has either shrunk or was traded for funds for a house way back then :)
Also, anyone with handheld VHF should bring it if they don't mind carrying it as boat has a fixed one so we can get reports if you are nuts enough to climb to the tops
I haven't forgotten anything; this will be my first learning opportunity.Quote:

Let me know what you'd like me to bring, too new to this so don't have any idea. Can get beverages if you let me know what you want. I feel like a pork chop in a kosher butchers when I get to the grog department.
Elaborate what you mean, late Friday afternoon / evening pick up or Sat Am? How do you feel about boating the the pitch dark if its the former??Quote:
