Subscribed young fella. An old retired NZFS culler here, now in Queensland. I enjoyed your video a great deal. Oh to have had some of that stuff back in the early 60's!! Never mind. We do what we do. Very interested in your choice of firearm too. I'm a bit of a traditionalist as well, still using a 1970 Carl Gustaf .270, with a X5i Swarovski, the rifle blued and A grade stock. Still looks like new because like you, I take care of it. Good luck and stay safe out there young fella.....
Hey thanks for watching, it’s much appreciated! I bet you guys would loved to have had some of this gear back then. Yes I try and keep my gear in as good a condition as I can, if you look after the gear, it’ll look after you… cheers 😎
@@OutdoorsJourneyman no thanks necessary friend. Keep up the content. I’ve slowly migrated to back pack hunting from being interested in and practicing bushcraft for over a decade so backpacking and backpack camping is still new to me. Definitely got a subscription from me!
Hey Mate great to see a Vid like this with all your gear etc. With age brings wisdom ( I hope! ) so weight is a big consideration when packing in somewhere. Well done Bro !!
Cheers mate, haha yeah I remember my first trip in with a 30+ kg pack!! I was much younger and eager back then… I’m trying to cut down on the weight, it does make it easier on the hill 😎
When you setup a tarp and its not touching the ground you are flying a tarp. when you setup a tarp shelter and its touching the ground you are pitching a tarp, same as pitching a tent. its still always a tarp, the setup determines whether your flying or pitching it.👍
You do a good video bro. I have pretty similar pack contents. I'm going to get me one of those spoons though! I hate getting my dinner all over my fingers while stirring it all up.
Thanks for watching, I usually hang the game and on the final morning bone it out and just carry the meat. It is then packaged up into plastic bags and it loaded into the pack. Sika deer are fairly small and break down considerably and can easily be packed out using this method. Cheers 😎
Hi there, I generally don’t take any water with me, I just get it straight out of the creeks. The water in New Zealand’s back country is usually pretty good, so I don’t actually boil the water for drinking or cooking… The water comes off the mountains and is crystal clear and is beautiful to drink 😎
shot bro, 16kg 😳 damn, how many days you in for? ....For a 10day stroll im packn 32kg incl rifle. Probably because I take all my winter kit with me year round just encase, plus rifle is heavy barrel and I bring my foldn camp stove, 5kg of food and a aluminum dutch oven cos make bread in the bush.
Cheers, yeah 16kg is pretty good for me 👍 For my winter hunts I’m a lot heavier, up around the 22-24kg mark… Damn you take in a Dutch Oven! That loaf of bread would be oh so nice 😎
gotta take the dutchy, only small but weighs 1.6kg, good for roastn possums aswell and makn bread n butter pudd. Go out fatter than I came in. Keep up the vids, bout time someone did a decent gear dump.
Tatonka baby! For the Fatherland, Austria and Germany!

The Whisky Gods approve this message.
Recently got an H&R handi rifle sb2 frame and plan on getting a few shotgun barrels as well as a .30-30 and .45-70gvt. Love a single shot for hunting
Thanks for the comment, yeah single shots are pretty cool and really handy for hunting
Cheers

I keep saving tarp… it’s a fly 😜
What kind of fly? Looks lighter than the Tarp I've been dragging around.
When you setup a tarp and its not touching the ground you are flying a tarp. when you setup a tarp shelter and its touching the ground you are pitching a tarp, same as pitching a tent. its still always a tarp, the setup determines whether your flying or pitching it.👍
I Seen Your Crocs Mate 😅 Great Video Thanks
You do a good video bro. I have pretty similar pack contents. I'm going to get me one of those spoons though! I hate getting my dinner all over my fingers while stirring it all up.
Cheers mate, yeah man those spoons are the go 😎
I’ve got the same sleeping bag, it’s a MacPac sanctuary 800xp & yeah they are overkill but bloody amazing!
Yeah they are great sleeping bags, way too much for summer… cheers 😎
Good video Sir,
Just one question, how do you pack the game out with your present system?
Thanks for watching, I usually hang the game and on the final morning bone it out and just carry the meat. It is then packaged up into plastic bags and it loaded into the pack. Sika deer are fairly small and break down considerably and can easily be packed out using this method. Cheers 😎
Hi how much water do you take? Or do you just boil river water to drink and cook?
Hi there, I generally don’t take any water with me, I just get it straight out of the creeks. The water in New Zealand’s back country is usually pretty good, so I don’t actually boil the water for drinking or cooking… The water comes off the mountains and is crystal clear and is beautiful to drink 😎

@@escapeartist6546 cheers mate, roast possum sounds interesting… bread and butter pudding sounds awesome 😎
Those who know, know. 😂haha
