    Holy shit.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Far out!
    I've never been to Diggers hut but knew a few guys who went there a lot. I used to spend a bit of time at the Forks hut a bit further south.

    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

    I've spent many nights in Diggers hut, and forks as a young fellow, doing an apprenticeship in PN, was my main hunting grounds, Hut never was, very high above the creek, bit disheartening see photos of the hut like that. I wonder if that fresh slip behind the hut, had something to do with it.

    Yea it's an awesome place and such a shame to loose such a great hut.
    Diggers and Forks is my main hunting area.

    I wonder what caused that? - it must have been there for many years. A DOC picture shows it on what seems to be a nice site.
    I never went there - I concentrated most of my hunting in Te Ekau Creek - next door
