Plenty in the Ruahines. The tussock around Waterfall creek is full of it.

Ha ha ha. I was hoping that would get a rise. Actually I am from the mighty south so am fairly well qualified to comment. The intrinsic law is that no matter where a hunter goes, they will always manage to find the most insufferable piece of crap on that block to wade through. For me there is nothing worse in the south than matagouri intertwined with briar rose vines. Matagouri on its own is but a gentle caress. Up here it is blackberry. And in both islands when you are trying to make the tops for an evening hunt there is always 3km of leatherwood. I would make the comment though that many mainlanders come north to hunt sika where there is nothing to wade through, and then wonder what all the fuss is about. Man we could start a whole new thread on this.

And in spite of that I will still be chasing Tahr in 3 weeks time.

That's a great offer, I will see how schedules line up.

I just run a twin needle bino biv with my Rangefinder and a few rounds in a seperate twin needle pouch and my knife also on my biv, small spare knife tucked in the side pocket and PLB on a neck lanyard and tucked inside my shirt

Agreed, the belts by themselves can be a pain. Sewn onto a Pikau fixes the problems of both.

Ah ha.

Here's my belt kit with all of the usual stuff in it. The game gear bags are great and are rainproof, just not submersible proof.

Good. That would be the max I would want hanging off my bum and dragging my trou down.

Buffalo Smuffalo, no bargain bag- the Game Gear pikau was $50 and the Ridgeline multi pocket belt $57 + $10 for the canvas man to sew together and shorten the straps = $117. Half the cost of the Burgalo
