Duncs

I finally got sick of freezing my arse off at basketball on Friday nights so did some searching on heated shirts. Long story short, I ended up with one of these http://www.avade.com.au/ It works pretty well! So I thought if any of you were looking for warn hunting clothes, this might be up your alley. Looks like it was created initially for dirt bikers. I’m rarely cold when I’m stalking (most likely because I’m unfit and walk too fast ) so I probably won’t use it for hunting but you never know. If I had any recommendation, it’d be to grab an extra battery and a car charger. Anyway, if you’re interested, this is an option that works. There’s a few options out there but I ended up buying this one because it is Aussie made. Duncs

Get used to fumbling your keys etc ? And do the physio work (don’t get lazy) it’s worth it to get back some strength and flexibility

Lose any feeling or are the nerves all ok? I’ve got limited feeling in my left thumb. Pretty handy for holding onto hot things

I’ve got three scars in roughly the same spot! As a right hander, my left hand gets a bit “roughed up”! I’m betting you’re much the same

Can’t wait to hear your review mate. And I’m sure I’m not the only one!

New technology toys hey...? What are the upgraded features of this one?

I’d have thought filters are your friend?

Function over looks any day in my book. They look like they’ll do the job nicely. Well done!

Haha - definitely not for me either then! My hips just keep “growing”... Thanks for the tip.

I’m getting a bit of spam lately about ALICE pack frames. “Genuine US Army” blah blah blah. Anyone used them? Are they any good? How do they compare with the expensive end of the hunting backpack range? I’m not in the market for one - just curious.

That’s a great idea. Got me thinking now...

No problemo

I’ve got one of those kits. Seems to work ok but I haven’t used it many times. I suspect it’s a copy of the Lansky setup

That shop is just around the corner from me, Konrad. I’d be happy to do a pickup for you and post it out to you at cost. Lemme know.

Niiiiice! I think I’ve got the same one - good knife. She’s a keeper (the Mrs too)

"Told you to stop" hahahahahahaha! Good memories

Nice

That really is an excellent clear view. I only just realised its the monocular and not the scope. That'd be bloody handy! How big is it?

Welcome back stranger! Are you knocking them off again yet or still too early?

I can't bring myself to trust electronic compasses... I think they rely on you walking for a bit before they really know which way is which - but that might be total crap. I haven't read enough to know for sure because I don't trust them Old fashioned is the way there I reckon

Anyone tried sealskinz socks? I've heard good things but haven't bought a pair yet

Welcome back, stranger! i thought the iridium network was going to get splashed (literally) years ago? Someone must have thrown some cash at it and saved them? i used to visit a website that told you when and where to look for "iridium flares" which was when the sun was reflected off the solar panels of the iridium satellites into your location. Might have to refind it.

Got a 14 y/o kid, hey?

Pig sticking maybe? Although I think they use a straight blade? Anyway, they look really good!

Fussy beat me to it so a +1 for soaking your clothes in pyrethrum (or similar). I walked the Kokoda Track with soaked clothes (shorts and tshirt) and got left alone. That way it lets you chose your gear without having to worry too much about mozzies.
