    Swanny liked post by longshot On thread : Gutting in the field
    You will want to gut it in place, to roughly halve the carrying weight, and to cool the meat down (the gut retains a lot of heat if left in the animal). If there is pigs or predator fowl in the...

    Use your best attempts to leave it out of sight. No matter where you are. Even if it's just in behind a bit of tussock. I always slash the gut bag so it doesn't blow up and it lets the bugs in to...

    Swanny liked post by Snoppernator On thread : Double Down
    Double Down Kai had started to wind about 20 minutes from our campsite. We went on a bit of a tiki tour off-piste, which resulted in finding a fresh pile of deer poo steaming away. No doubt...

    Swanny liked post by Jusepy On thread : Newbie - just want to manage rabbits, advice please
    Another way is too set up a hide , do some investigation into where their rabbit hole is. Set up close, with the wind direction in mind and wait for the furry little buggers to come out. Have a...

    Swanny liked post by 303shooter On thread : Oven vs Slow Cooker
    Could just be me, but I find the flavor and consistency is better in the oven, I cant think why that would be. My slow cooker is heated from the bottom AND side, plus I always put a folded tea...

    PHOTO HEAVY! I've finally got the big chicken garden pen finally in action. The main run is along the front of the four 5x3m runs. Each run is gated. I've only got 2 of the runs finished so far. The...

    Moisture control is good. They breathe really well even if zipped right up. It’s effectively a goretex shell with netting and a zip. You will easily fit any pad inside the bivy. The bivy itself...
