Thread: Do you need Manuka for the mai mai?

and want to travel to the Kaimai's between Matamata and Te Aroha, plenty here for the taking, private land.

sod that grab it for the fire its colder than a well diggers arse here

these days you would cut kanuka and plant manuka wouldnt you LOL.... my firewood eyes were bulging driving over lewis pass area this week.

Flax does a good job

My grandfather was of the opinion that mallards would wise up fast to the fact that every time they got too close to a clump of manuka they got a charge of shot........ but I still use it.

th secret to good camo as taught by the green machine -how to turn yaself into a" hey look no see me type".you can use anything but make sure the cover is typical of the area your miaimai is sited in IEya wouldnt have a flaxbush maimai on ya local park ponds. last year my shooting mate removerd an old headge at his place -it blended in perfectly withour maimai .previous year i helped a mate remove flax bushes++++++ from his place so recycled em by weaving them into the brown plastic netting you can buy.excellent!
I have two purpose buil;t no see me suits ,plus a portable maimai made up opf fibreglass tentpoles and camo nets-fits 2 at a squeeze.Ive also kept my laydown blind which ive had over ten years -its a 10-15min job to camo up no sweat.

the wairarapa was the last place we had heps to burn pardon the pun.
easily the most economic firewood given size of log to heat put out

Do your selves a favour, if you have a good spot plant flax around your Maimai and honeysuckle at the base of the main posts. In 2 years you will be cutting it away to open up spots to shot and you won’t need to cut Manuka which takes ages to grow.
Il post a photo tomorrow of our old Maimai you can’t even see it we are standing in front.

every time I go for a wander in peel forest,my firewood googles go berserk.....all that primo sized stuff right next to walking tracks is almost a health hazard via distraction

As promised must be around 89/90 us standing in front of the Maimai can’t even see it lol. Had a raised platform so your head was above the flax behind.
