  • Tasmans freezer was looking particularly empty late May, so he heads out for a quick overnighter looking for something succulent to fill it up.
    Cheers for watching!

    Good film of the expedition. To leg animals a saw isn't needed below the hock, they have a convenient joint there that breaks cleanly. For rear hock joints, a cut around the lower joint lump edge will enable to break cleanly, towards the front being easiest. Front is similar, but bend joint bends naturally then twist inwards. Cut right around to the bone first unless tendons are wanted, they can be left uncut & attached. To carry the carcass whole, the tendon is followed down between bone & tendon about 75-100mm, making a floppy "tee" hinge of the tendon. Cut a hole in the inside rear hamstring , thread the hoof through to the hinge. Done both sides forms a functional "pack" which is usually easier than dragging, except sometimes downhill. Wipe out the blood etc first with grass. fern etc. Many tons have been carried out with that technique.
    All ungulates are the same for hock jointing, small ones like goats/tahr being easier for practice. Can always saw it off until getting the technique right consistently to cover up the attempts to find the sweet spot.

    • @NZWildAdventures
      @NZWildAdventures  Год назад

      Thanks John! Cheers for the comment, haha I normally do as you say, separate each bone by the joint, but this time I wanted a few bones but didn't want the rump to be too long so it would fit in the bag 😂 I've done the backpack technique too many times but it generally isn't worth it because it's often so far back to the car... so normally just bone it out.

    Tasman thought pattern. Oh no, I’ve run out of crayfish, time to go hunting. You are brave tackling those spikey things. Maybe one of those things got that platypus? There is something extra special about winter hiking/hunting, despite the short days, it seems more hardcore, maybe because most everyone else is around the heater and inside, even though the hunting is within 300m of camp! It looks so much further when you show the distance, you could easily talk it up. I’m sure there is more strategy than just bumping into something, more like the topography was examined, droppings and footprints were tracked, the time of day and weather factored in, and a plan is implemented to bump into something. Nice to see the range finding things. And another series of epic Tasman meals where 50% is cooking where anything can be made lovely with coconut cream and the balance of time is hiking/hunting. That was a dam sneaky pig and how on earth did you make the licorice allsorts last so long.

    • @NZWildAdventures
      @NZWildAdventures  Год назад

      Think you might be right there 😂. Nah the platypus is coming apart at a seam, thinking I may be able to glue it up 🤔, though I'm surprised the matagouri hasn't popped it yet, the way I treat it 😂. Definitely a plan is thought out and attempted, but a fair amount of dumb luck is involved with my hunting techniques! Cooking, hunting and eating, what more could one ask for 😋. Gotta ration a whole packet of allsorts when you have just one day to make em last hahaha 😆. Cheers Paul 😊
