Thread: A bushbuck review...

Glad you asked. Recently spent a couple of nights in the Ruahine tops in utterly foul conditions. Boycotted Rangi hut in favour of finding a sheltered spot over the top somewhere, which we did, piled into my MSR Mother Hubba, warm dry clothes on, snuggled into sleeping bag then hello, wind changes direction and we're now getting buffeted by the gale we thought we'd cleverly avoided. I lay there feeling and hearing the wind pounding the tent thinking to myself if this thing rips or disappears we're in trouble, woke up to a sleety white surroundings but an intact tent. We'd pitched on the only available flattish piece of ground which was the catchment for a small tarn beside us, so very wet, yet floor of tent was cold but still dry. Certainly didn't regret spending the extra few hundred dollars for a better quality bit of gear that morning, especially having recently watched the (hilarious) nz review of the Bushbuck tent on YouTube.
