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

Very interesting stuff, have never heard of Bush lawyer (plant) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia before but upon looking at the pictures, have definitely encountered it.

Wait, what? It can kill a dog?
She loves the free fresh wind in her hair; Life without care. She's broke but it's oke; that's why the lady is a tramp.

Yikes. My next door neighbour goes there a lot with her Viszla cross. I'll let her know to be careful around the bush edge. Thanks dudes.

It's put horses on the ground in the ureweras, not sure if it's ever killed one.
Dogs seem to have a lower tolerance like they have to many other things
The nettles in the ureweras do seem to have a bigger kick than most places though.

The nettles in the Okahu on the side of the track just over the top of the big hill between Skips and Rodgers huts are fucking potent. Stings like a stingy thing and burns like a burny thing. Originally Posted by Barefoot

Rushy
Did you ever have any dealings with the old hungarian (I think) that used to drive round minginui in a big fairmont (had a chevy before that)?
He used to carry a pair of secateurs with him to let him slip through the nasty stuff.

Ha ha. It stings like a bitch when you have a hot shower too. Sort of re powers it up again. A good Onga whack will tingle for a day or two. Originally Posted by Dougie

Dougie, the native stinging nettle, ongaonga, is a deciduous plant...it is when it drops its leaves that it becomes potentially more dangerous to dogs as the sting will still be potent!! For humans who have gotten badly stung with it, lots and lots of black coffee is a good way to start!!!
Addend: the sting of the introduced nettle Urtica dioica can be relieved by rubbing dock leaves over the stung parts...it really does work!!Last edited by EeeBees; 06-12-2012 at 09:53 PM.
