    There won't be any of those "Beauty of dead-standing"/Hama/Monkey D softy threads for a start.

    I wear kit a lot harder than most, especially stalking kit. But Swazi is one of the best three makes (All NZ thinking about it), and the only one that does special clothes for kitchen staff Last 5 times longer than the Mountain Equipment, Berghaus, Northface equivalent

    Dito I think MrH is about right though. If you refuse it you might be looking for another job at the end of the week.

    One Tough Sister Jacket - SWAZI New Zealand - The world's most durable clothing. Friend of mine swears by this. She is a horse breaker and has had it about three years or so. Expensive but well worth it. I'll vouch for Swazi too, their kit might be pricey but its worth every penny.

    Think mine is £350 compared to the £3000 a van is.

    Does anyone know where you get the large decals for the side of your van? The City & Guilds say they don't do anything that big I'v seen a couple of people on here have them, just wondering where you get them from

    Go to Manchester instead

    460 is a beast, my choice out of the two. However the 576 looks pretty smart, mate is impressed with his, and is a bit cheaper I think. Sam

    Probably, but if you don't ask...

    How cheap is cheap?

    Fine by me

    Haha, yeah, sounds about right. You'll have the infamous "Fozzy, King of the forwarders" for some things though. Legend

    Hi all, Just pondering clearance work. Is there much on at the moment? Do you need specific quals etc? Who is good to work for/has things available? Cheers Sam

    Tis indeed. Jumbos are dead clever. I know a guy who was culling in the 80s in SA. Used to say that if you shot one or two out of a herd then the herd breaks up because they know they are safer on their own. They can also "talk" between herds I am told.

    The infamous John "Pondoro" Taylor killed an elephant with a .22 long. Supposedly. Walter "Karamojo" Bell killed thousands with a 6.5x55 and 7x57. Interestingly weight of projectile/weight of beast ratio using a .416 Rigby on an elephant is the same as using a .22Mag on a Fallow buck.

    No, thats the holy grail of pointy things. I used one once and nearly gave my Gransfors away on the spot! Made by a guy in Sweden and like rocking horse poo in this country, but my god are they good. He turns out a few a year and they are very expensive, but you won't believe how good they are till you use one. Heres a thread about them on BB Cegga Axes - Show Us Your Beauty. Sambo
