    Become a spearo VC. If you could find the time that is.
    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

    THEE trick my friend is a tried and true pill called 'travacalm'. That and NEVER eat a McMuffin and egg before a day in 2.5m swell. I recall not being able to swim and i nearly drowned while my mates laughed at me from the boat.

    On random nz fish i like eating - i cant go past pigfish. They go bright red when you hit em and they taste outstanding. Butterfish aren't to be past up either, but ive even been known to eat sandagers wrass too (just because you can kill them easily with your knife). I wont eat parore but only cause there will always be leatherjacket if you're reduced to scrounging.
