Allan,

You are not a man who will disappoint! Great adventures. Chapter 1 and 2 are great reads of exciting times. Thank you for sharing your writing and photos. I would be thrilled to make a trip over (maybe, should be under) but would want to explore the whole continent.

Regarding the rod and reel, scuba?

A grand finish

Thanks so much for taking us along on your adventure Allan. This has sure got me pumped for our trip next year. The 950gr arras are flying and our gear list is pretty much finalized. I'd love Rocque's contact info so we can cast for hogs as well. We are going to do some deep sea fishing on arrival and this sounds like a great ending to our Oz adventure.

Like someone else mentioned - check out Vibrams new five finger running shoes before you buy mocasins. I have the road running and trail running models and love them. The trail models are fantastic for traction and I think will be the cats ass for stalking. They have no arch support period so are not for everyone. I have good mocasins as well and they are no where near as good as the five fingers for warm climate - five fingers are designed to be worn in water as well. They are so light you could put them in day pack and never know your hauling them. I plan to wear mine all the time.

Thanks guys. It was fun telling the story, but the most fun was in being there for the actual adventure. There are so many of my great TradGang friends I would have loved to have had along on this trip, including folks who have commented on these two threads; however, I'm glad I got to take you along vicariously since we couldn't all be there together. If anyone does have the ability to go, I highly recommend Andy, Mick and Rocque. Of course, Andy is the main reason I went the first time and will be the main reason I go back. We all know what a special young man he is! Guys like Andy exemplify the best of the TradGang community, and there are many others among our ranks who do also. Every time I share a camp with a fellow TradGanger, I am enriched by the experience. There is not a better group of people anywhere, and I feel blessed to be a part of you.

Allan

Thats awesome Allan, great little way to finish the Aussie adventure. And Congrats to Doug on the big howg!
I'v been pretty hectic back here, i need to make time to catch up before i start the Rusa hunts
Will e-mail tonight after work

Andy, I really enjoyed the fishing trip with Rocque, but there was no comparison between that and the hunt we had with you and Mick. It was a good way to wind down from our big hunting adventure and get prepared to go home. I am eager to get more information about going back to Oz to hunt with you next year. Good thing you have us booked. I will be bringing some of the VPA 2 blade Penetrators next time, and I'm sure you will have them too.

Later friend,

Allan
