Hi, my name is Dave and I love being in New Zealand's awesome outdoors. I learn and share whatever is practical for enhancing my outdoors experience and enabling me to be self-reliant and prepared for any situation I may come up against.
Bushcraft or survival? If it works, why not just use it?
Day walks or camping or wilderness outings? If it's what we want to do, why not just do it?
Thanks for your views, input and interest. Dave

AKUBRA HAT.ONE YEAR FULL REVIEW.CUSTOMISING.COMPARISONS.TIPS & TRICKS
A full review after one year of hard use at work and in the bush. How did my Akubra Riverina Hat perform? Did my modifications work? How does it compare with other hat brands and fabrics.
- Features, Customization, Tips and Tricks
- Performance In All Four Seasons
- Leather Headband vs Cotton Headband
- Rabbit Fur Felt vs Waxed Canvas
- Rabbit Fur Felt vs Oilskin
- Brimmed Hats vs Bandanas and Beanies
Thanks very much for your views, your input and your own experiences with your chosen head-wear for work and the outdoors.
Thanks for hangin in there during my drought of video content. I am recovering from shoulder surgery and have not been able to get out in the bush. One slip in the bush and I could end up back under the surgeons knife and angry (understandably) demeanor.
If you are interested in looking into an Akubra for yourself, you might want to check out this company. I have always found their service top notch.

A quick, casual filming of my day walk and checking on some Kie Kie Fruit. I have been watching and waiting (for about one year) for this fruit to ripen. Kie Kie Fruit, like most fruit, usually sprouts then grows then is eaten or dies and falls to the ground, all within one season. This batch of Kie Kie Fruit is at the end of its second season of growth and is only just ripening. What has cause...
