Have a look at Wilkins gaiters. NZ made, based in Timaru. I like mine - half the price!

yes we flew out a lot of crappy old camps when I was a Ranger - I would not pull it down- only because they could walk in without any camping gear and then wet night - they don't really deserve...

Man, I feel bad if I can't find all my brass or if the wind blows something away. Then you have dudes leaving a whole ass department store in the woods with no shame.

I recall a tale of woe a year or three back on old forum. Fine fella and his even finer four footed hunting buddy were up in tops hunting and came back to camp to find water gone and pot crapped...

Another good option is to trudge up the uphill track at the bike park with a loaded pack. Its pretty steep in places and quite long. You can then hop on the chair lift for free and get a chill ride...

Got out on the first group walk on Wednesday. Great conditions for a walk - perfect temperature and dry trails. Carried a 21kg pack so felt some good burn on the steep sections and went slow and...

Could just be a bunch of kids (judging by the construction skills..) and burning up all their shit probably isn't a good way to encourage healthy use of the outdoor resource. Just write a note to...

Good idea, but I'd be concerned about getting sprung while packing up the guys' gear. Potential to go sideways. Personally I'd give the GPS/map coordinates to DoC and let them deal with it.

Collect all the rubbish, pack it into one of his buckets if there is room, without soiling his other gear. Pack down the shanty, stack the tarps/polythene tidily with his buckets. A fairly...

Somehow leave a message that if he doesn't sort his housework that DOC will be given the map coordinates of his shanty. Far too many lazy p..cks now leaving rubbish in the bush, on the hills. It's...
