Gday jhoneil,

Thanks for that link. Like MaylandL, I've tried shooting with my thumb without little success (mind you I don't have a thumbring and 87lbs hurts my thumb ).

That link has inspired me to try again

re camo...yep... property owners look at you like a wanker. Also, I reckon about 90% of the time, the camo is to make the human feel like thy're hiding - I reckon, smell, movement, and sound is more important. Anyhow... yep... very happy with the pack :D Hey Stace... are you and ET coming up? I'll o...

Hey Mick, Yep, finding the right pack has turned into an obsession for me. but now I'm finally happy. I ordered the Guidespotter Pack combination with the extra GPS and side pouch, but I'd like to add the summit pack to it later. That's what I'm so impressed with their system for, you can easily add...

Ben My "sense of enduring hope" takes up all the room in my packpack. :lol: Thanks for the input. :wink: Mick Hehehe... yes. Problem is it's really hard to pack at the beginning of a trip because it takes up SO much room, and sometimes at the end of a unsuccessfull hunt you're left wonder...

Great story... looking forward to meeting him next year sometime

Very cool Kim... more girls should have dads like you

Ok... sold!

ET

Hahah... yeah... but then I'd need a REALLY long straw to drink Butcho's bourbon

I'm making up the "Super-duper-slinky-malinky-croc-repellent-sleepy-sling"...looks like a big version of that flanny jock strap that Jeff has.

The patent is pending!

Yep, I agree with everything Jindy said. Also, it looks modified to my eye (trust me I've had to modify the odd pic here and there in my line of work). But the biggest giveaway is If that guy had really shot that pig, he'd have a HUGE bottle of bourbon in his hands to settle the nerves

Including postage (from the US) I bought it for AUD$275 , so I'd be willing to take it off Ebay for AUD$190+postage.

Well, I've decided I'm not a 'hammock' sleeper, and have returned to my on the ground bivvy bag, so my Hennessy Ultralight Backpacker Hammock is up for sale.

Hennessy Hammock

It is very comfortable, and very small and light... I'm just not a hammock sleeper (unless there are crocs around )

ahhhhhhhHHHH!... bloody quivers... Legolas didn't have any of these problems in the LOTR movies! His arrows just seemed to magically appear, and his pack was pretty amazing... he carried so much stuff in that little Elvish hip pack! :roll: Thanks Jeff for that info... I suppose I could get around th...

No worries

It is an awsome day pack.

Ok, I'm completely sick of trying to find a pack that will hold a full overnight set of gear plus work with my backquiver, so I'm considering biting the bullet and trying something like the Rancho Safari Cat Quiver VII I'm not super keen on the camo crap or the plastic hood... but until I get that s...

Ok, the backpack has been sold and taken off Ebay.

I'm happy to do the same for the quiver for AU$110 + postage if anyone wants it.

Back quiver

Hey thanks Mick... I know it's not exact ( it would really be an exponential increase ) but that's all I was looking for. And yeah, I knew about the bow stuff. The reason I asked is because my previous magyar bow was 70#@28" and had made up a whole batch of self knocked arrows at 28" that ...

Hey, does anyone know how much the spine of an arrow increases if you shorten it from 28" to 26"?

What condition is the wheel in?

Selling a couple more items...

Hunting pack (no comments on the ever expanding gut thanks! )

Hey mate, I sent you a PM with my details. That'd be great to hook up. I had heard there was a archery club in the area, but assumed it was all wheelies.

BTW, do you hunt with your bow?

What are you doin out of bed so early I think my new alarm clock, the one that screams and cries, went off too early this morning... I think it's broken?! :roll: (there isn't a animated emoticon face available for 'knackered') They posted the new bow this week, so should arrive in 4 weeks. I'm gonn...

Hey Brumbies, I'll come out and join you one morning, I'll distract them while you adjust their dial-a-bullseye-widgets-scoping-dongle-drive-shaft-triggulator finger-throttle-a-meter and then we can watch them for a half an hour as they pull out spanners, hammers, screwdrivers to get it all working ...

Heheh... no... you'll have to get your own goat to wink at!

In case anyone is interested I'm auctioning off 'Vlad', my 70 pound middle-ages magyar bow.

Ebay Auction here

And also 'no' I'm not accepting payment in the form of worn out sneakers, and rabbits

very nice mate

Yeah...

I wish a deer would come knocking on MY door!
