Thread: Gadgetman

Rest easy old mate. I liked how Gadget would have a yarn with anyone but he was straight up and marched to the beat of his own drum, wouldn't bend or modify his personality to conform to others and he was one of those blokes that just showed up, if he said he was going to be there, he was going to be there.
Took Gadget on a hunting trip up the Lewis pass a few years back that was hard case, he got out of my truck, threw his pack on, took two steps, and fell down a bank haha. He was struggling a bit with pain back then but he dragged himself up the hill, he said he was coming chamois hunting, so he came chamois hunting! He was a pretty quiet fella when you first met him but by golly he could have a yarn when you got him going! I remember on that same hunting trip he chewed my ear off about all sorts of stuff for hours then we retired to our respective tents and 5 minutes later I heard a "you still awake?" To which I replied "yep" and away he went again, think we finally stopped yarning at about 3 in the morning!
Will miss seeing you chap, seemed like everytime there was a bit of a get together of various forum members GM was a starter. Don't have any photos of GM he was an elusive fella around a camera but here's a photo that he took of a few of us last time I saw him. Hot barrels buddy
