Howdy folks. Hope you all had a great weekend. Fantastic results from our AB's (male/female). Here's a few pics from a wee sneak away, out for a looksee. A few little furry forest animals to be seen, admittedly some were along way off and safe from me....others not so safe.

Howdy all. On those rather cooler evenings, sitting by the fire and you just need a wee 'warm me up' before bedtime. The New Zealand Whisky Collections 'Oamaruvian cask strength' is my go to. Super tasty and just the thing to warm the cockles. Yeah I know the mugs are just not quite the right drinking vessel but sometimes you gotta make do. (And the bottle was half empty already) The Oamaruvian is a really excellent whisky made in Dunedin and matured in Oamaru. Support local I say. The New Zealand Whisky Collection

Howdy all, had a quiet last week. A few walks around town just to keep some fitness in the wee leggies.

Sunday I was getting 'Out There' helping out with Southern Lakes and Central Otago NZDA branches at the Manuherikia Boar, Buck & Stag Hunting Competition, presented by the Alexandra Scouts. A fantastic effort by all involved and extremely well run event. Central Otago Deerstalkers NZDA Southern Lakes Branch NZDA

You might be thinking, Ahhh he was out hunting but sadly no I was helping bone out a lot of the deer that were donated to us. We would remove all the good bits, clean and de-bone then all the venison will be professionally minced before being packed and distributed through the KiwiHarvest programme, helping provide quality wild game meat to people and families in need throughout the local area.
I reckon I de-boned about 80 odd back legs, a mix of Fallow and Red deer, starting around mid day and finishing up around 7pm. We estimate we had around about just over 400kgs of meat by the end of the day. We had a pretty good team in operation so thank you to everyone that helped out. We estimate we have donated over 2.5 tonne of meat since getting involved in this programme. Here's a few photos.

Howdy all. Just thought I'd show you a few pics from a wee overnighter. A bit chilly but good gear and being prepared helps.

A few little furry animals seen but none taken. I don't shoot things if I don't need to. Think of it as 'armed tramping'. You could ask then why bother carrying the 'stick of death', I could save myself carrying about 6kgs. Well if I was not carrying it you could put money on it that I would see the biggest most awesome trophy of a lifetime and in that case yes it would get shot but I'd also carry as much meat out as I could. I don't go out looking for trophy animals, it is only for meat to supply our family.

Out There Southern Adventures Ltd

Looking at potential expressions of interest with my business Out There Southern Adventures for sale which is a guiding company based out of Cromwell, Central Otago.

The business has DOC concessions for guided walks on a multitude of graded tracks also for off the trail guided overnight trips. I also have DOC concession for 4WD trips within the Otago region and for fishing.

The business comes with a sign written Toyota Landcruiser and 5.8m Fyran 5.80 pursuit hardtop boat. The boat was initially going to do fishing charters and was built up to marine survey standard which has its survey number.

The hiking side of the business has a huge amount of gear for clients, packs, tents, sleeping bags, ground mats etc etc.

An active website and Facebook (and it does have an Instagram but I haven't used for along time). Also brochures and stickers.

This could be a great opportunity for anyone thinking of starting their own adventure based business as I've done all the hard stuff getting it off the ground and up and running. Or for a company that is already operating, this could offer some extras that could offer more opportunities to your existing clients.

Within the Central Otago region, the opportunities within the tourist sector are huge and offering real off-the-trail guided experiences is unique and given the right marketing could open some wonderful potential.

If this is something you might be interested in get in touch. Either give me a call 020 4144 9272 or email [email protected]

Help me out and share this posts with your friends please.

Howdy folks, these wilding pines, I thought I'd show you this wee photo series. Doing my part (well its not actually me but my client Nathan) to help remove them from our landscape.

When I'm away in the back country I often find them and pull them up or cut them back with my Silky F180 hand saw I carry in my pack. Silky Saws

Howdy folks, well I've been away all this week with work and thought I'd show you a few pics from a recent wee getaway. Top weather just perfect clean and clear. Yes it was cold mornings but once you're walking, well you soon heat up and especially once you start going up.

A great bit of country and a few animals sneaking about. None shot just happy seeing them and getting into the hills.

Howdy folks, well it's been a couple of weeks since losing my vehicle key fob and I thought I reckon I can find it. So up early Saturday and off up near Ohau to the car park. This time I had a speedy secret weapon to get me to the start of the climb, I took a bike. I thought I should be able to get there way quicker and back on the bike.

Parked up, took out bike and I'm off. took just under 1hr to get to the area I had to start climbing, hid the bike and I'm off heading up. No cordless hole punch just the camera. I did spot a few animals and got a few pics, pretty nice day for a wee walkies. Eventually getting to the remains of the Chamois and I searched and searched but no luck. Then headed down to bike, hopped on and I'm off, only to get about 1km and I get a puncher and end up walking the bike out. Had I not got the puncher I think I'd have been back to the vehicle in about 30min instead 1hr. Ending up covering just on 14km for the day.

Never mind, a pretty nice day on the hill and although I didn't find my key, well it's hard to beat just getting 'Out There'. I'm really not have much luck with bikes?

Just thought I'd tell you about using my MSC pack liner a few weeks back.

So a few weeks ago while getting off the mountain very late at night and while waiting for the truck to arrive, I was dripping wet and a very cold breeze was blowing which I could feel my core temperature dropping and I was getting cold. I took my big orange MSC pack liner out (it was very smelly and covered in blood as I do use it as a clean surface to process meat on it(but inside it was clean-ish) and I climbed in pulling it over my head and instantly felt warmer being out of the wind. Waiting twenty minutes for the vehicle to arrive I was pleased to have it and the first time I've used it and it worked well.

As well as a waterproof pack liner, a survival bag, a tent/shelter. It Will keep your pack afloat in water and if all your gear is stored in it inside your pack everything is safe from getting wet.

Mine is folded up flat in the bottom of my pack. It's always there if needed. The bright Orange, form a SAR (Search & Rescue) perspective is pretty stand-out-ish in the middle of a sea of tan tussock or green bush or as that helicopter fly's around looking for you. If your not carrying one I would highly recommend it. (I do also carry a good quality thermal lined survival bag if really needed)

Howdy folks, Here's a lesson for everyone that heads out into the back country. A costly mistake for me.

So, Nick and I are away early off looking for a Chamois. Over the day we cover probably about 25km of varying terrain, from valley floor, through native alpine beech to alpine tussock basins to the top of mountains over moon like rock. At numerous times we stopped to glass or take a break. My key fob (to get into my truck and start it) was inside my zipped up camo jacket pocket (or so I thought). Over the day it got pretty hot with all the climbing and jacket got put in pack. We'd take a break and I'd pull out my jacket to get to some food. Jacket back into pack and then continue.

About 16hrs later, pretty Knackered we get back to truck and no key fob, somewhere it had fallen out of my pocket that I had not zipped up. While chatting to my wife trying to convince her to drive up to me with the spare a local bloke drives by and offers to drive us back to the camping ground, awesome. Then I have to get a spare key to get into our unit at the camping ground, we've got no food so Tony the owner of the Ruatuniwha camping ground gives us some of his food and some milk for breakfast. Just so thankful for the kindness of both Tony a the local for helping.(I did drop off to him some money for fuel the next day) Lake Ruataniwha Holiday Park

Next morning I'm up early, walk the 4km to the main highway, I'm hitching to Cromwell, a young bloke picks me up and drops me off in Omarama then another bloke heading to Queenstown picks me up and drops me at home about 915am, not too bad going. I get my back up fob and drive back in our vehicle, pick up Nick and back to my truck which Nick drives the truck home. LESSON LEARNT. Here's a few random pics.
