Puhoi Camp Out 4.5.2013
Hi Guys. Here are some photos of my overnighter in the Puhoi Village area.Puhoi is 15 minutes north of the Auckland Harbor Bridge. I have been meaning to hook up with a couple of the Bushcraft NZ fellas and check out this area but timings and weather have made it difficult. On Friday I figured I would just pack and go regardless of the weather. At least it would be a chance to test my wet weather gear.It was raining but not too heavy when I started out about 2pm Saturday. A slow walk up a steep…See More

"So true about CRKT knives. I have had a small CRKT Kasper folder for a lot of years. I have skinned a couple of deer with it and it never lost its edge. Great little knife. "

CRKT Knife 1103
Hi guys. Our latest news letter had a link to Fish Pond to buy a Columbia River Knife And Tool Company knife called the 1103. I wanted to buy this knife and emailed CRKT to see if it had a full tang. They let me know the knife advertised was a counterfeit and not one of theirs. I'm glad I found out before buying it and relying on it in the bush only to have it break on me. I have used Fish Pond before, good company, and will continue using them. Goes to show that it is good to check some things…See More

"Yea mate. I fully agree. I used mine on Mt Tongariro, out in the open in high winds and horizontal rain. It kept me dry as a bone from rain and sweat. Ridgeline sells the brown version in England which has the hand warmer pockets. We could…"
ShrafterDave commented on Joe's blog post British Army 95 Gore-tex Gloves
"They could be the D-3A gloves. Not sure of their designation. The first time I had a pair was back in the early 80s. We got them off the visiting American soldiers. Our gear was such crap so we traded with the GI's every chance we could. The…"

"Great info Joe. Where did you get the poncho and liner from? Do you know any NZ suppliers?"
ShrafterDave commented on Joe's blog post British Army 95 Gore-tex Gloves
"The gloves pictured at the top with the web cinch look very similar to a pair of US Army gloves I have. Could be from the same basic design maybe."
