    Depending on which hut we go to I'd be keen. I can't afford a heli but I'll be on uni break by then so I'll have time so I might just walk in possibly the day before you guys arrive.

    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

    Mohawk660, Phillip has been to the Rushy "eats the ground" run all day training school and has an advanced diploma in five metre striding with full pack. A days walk in to a normal man is but a five minute stroll to him now. In fact I venture that he could give the chopper a ten minute head start and still be in the hut with dinner cooked before you get there.

    Yep hills, rivers, cliffs, valleys, landslides, avalanches, tornadoes, tsunamis, earthquakes, famine and drought are no object anymore. When I swim, I don't get wet, the water gets Phil. Best believe, that dinner will be the back steaks off a sika and not one I prepared earlier. Learnt from the master

    I don't think I'll go hunting with Phil... Sounds intimidating and bad for my ego

    And with the glowing endorsement from Rushy of your fine character Phil, that's something the three of us should rectify very soon by doing a weekend mission to spot-X in Sika country

    5 hours to Waipakihi would be alright for me. Not sure how long it is to Ecology spur though?
    Yeah nah bro
