Life’s too short to spectate.

Some of the simplest things in life are the best…

A fire to sit around on a crisp High Country night. Dingoes howling in the distance, boobook owls calling, sugar gliders making that weird little chirp… and a wild sambar honking after catching the slightest scent of a man crossing its path.

This is how I quiet my mind.

Maybe these moments mean more because they aren’t everyday. I’ve worked hard and sacrificed plenty of hours to earn the time to sit there and simply appreciate them.

Work hard. Make time for the simple things.

Don’t just watch life pass by. Get out there and live it.

And don’t forget to thank your mate, your wife, your husband — whoever shares the journey with you — for simply being there.

Sometimes, that’s all you really need.

Chomping through the Custom Orders …. Keen to get this one into glue up this afternoon .
Our Bush Butchers have been around for a long time and are a very effective tool in the field to remove meat from a frame in a fast and efficient manner .
Hollow Ground for a keen edge with a stiff spine .

Providing lunch from venison I hunted, shot with my own reloads, processed with my own knives and treated with the utmost respect from paddock to plate.
I find it’s deeply satisfying taking ownership of the process behind the meat you choose to eat.

Wild, free-range venison is lean, nutritious and about as honest as food gets. You know where it came from, how it was treated and exactly what went into putting it on the table.
Respect the animal. Respect the process. Enjoy the reward.

Moroka.30 repping the Nano Stealth pant . Big thumbs up from me.
Moroka 30 is an iconic Australian owned hunting brand and store , with products designed by Rob and his team.

Another example of Australian small business building products to suit Australian and New Zealand conditions that can be equally suited to world wide expeditions.

Proud to stock their kit on our website .

Big day in the workshop… three more customs ground, 3 SouthWinds finished and three sets of handles prepped for another custom order ready for glue-up today.
Also building some Micro Light scales for the Strykers I’m making for the Elk Expedition party.

Total weight for the scales — just 23 grams, made from 1/8” G10.
The challenge is still giving the handle a proper contour when there’s bugger-all material there to actually contour 😂 But I can’t handle hotspots on a knife handle just because it’s been finished poorly.
Lightweight doesn’t mean compromising how it feels in the hand.
