    Hey toby those north rige big flys are huge.Me and a mate used one a few months back and it could have fit another 3 or 4 hunters aswell.Real good for more open bush as you can sling it up over a lot greater distance than a normal fly.Dosnt come with rope however from memory but we had taken cord with us.

    Whatever blows your hair back toby.bale string will do fine providing you can get nice long lenths of it.para cord /and hoochie cord are just what most use.

    What knots do you use to tie up your hoochies? I like using the handcuff knot to double figure 8 on the bite

    Quick release.
    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

    It cost me $80 and as you'll see it's even cheaper than that on special now. It's pretty spacious (two is alright) but light enough for solo trips (1.48kg). To be honest I'm a bit wary about it's quality, haven't had it for long so I guess we'll find out, but I got it because it seemed like a hell of a lot more bang for your buck than a glorified tarp and as it seems, lighter.
    Have you had that bad boy out in some heavy rain mate?

    Not yet. First time a had it out in light rain some of it made it's way inside because I didnt peg the fly out tight enough so it dripped onto the ground sheet and ran inside. As long as you make sure you do that it should be sweet I reckon.
