    Going to try out that twin needle fly and bino bag when I get back into the country. Have you tried the 30D version instead of your heavier weight one yet? Always happy to spend my money with those smaller NZ businesses where the product is actually made in NZ. Sleeping mats are a tricky one, I've tried a few and they all suffer the same problems. The Bushbuck one has surprised me, it was dirt cheap and R5 rated and it hasn't popped yet after some pretty hairy locations.

      You won't be disappointed, can't rate twinneedle gear enough. Yeah we tried the 30D one on a trip this year, slept under it for 4 nights and had no issues. Awesome piece of kit! Yeah we're yet to crack it with sleeping mats, pretty important piece of kit!

    Just found your channel this last week. I'm a fair bit older than you lads but hoping to get out there (Canterbury) with my little fella nonetheless, if my knee holds up (skydiving injury). Totally jealous of your exploits! You may have mentioned in a previous video that maybe I haven't yet found, but what rifle, caliber, scope and ammo are you using? I'm just in the process of applying for a FAL and will be hopefully hunting in a year or two. Got a whole heap to learn. Good work lads, keep 'em coming, and thank you.

      Hey mate, we've all owned and used a .308 (two of us have a Tikka t3 and one sako a7). Been shooting 150g game heads on those, great for all our big game out to about 300 meters. Had a Leopold 3x9 on it, but recently upgraded to a vortex 3x15. We also have a Hardy Rifles .300 prc for longer range hunting, very nice gun 👍

    Iberians introduced these goats 500 years ago. I call them Oceanian black-and-ivory goats because they're found in Australia and New Zealand. Rangeland goats in Australia are invasive. It's very likely that New Zealand ones aren't invasive. They should be protected.
