Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n

I grew up in a small town in rural new zealand. Hated the place & left in my late teens.<\/p>\n

Spent most of my life in Auckland which is now fully invaded by immigrants. Its impossible to get a decent job here now.<\/p>\n

So I am heading for the hills with my ass burned. I’m going fur trapping down in the Bay of Plenty.<\/p>\n

Its prime possum territory & I have been down & been allocated a 2000 hectare block of back country bush with streams, landslides, a hut and impenetrable bush.<\/p>\n

I plan to go in for 2-3 weeks at a time. My hut is an 8 mile hike up stream from the end of the road & I will be moving 100lbs + of gear in and out.<\/p>\n

This means I will need to use flotation of some kind to transport my gear.<\/p>\n

There is no power, running water or cell coverage.<\/p>\n

I will use wind & solar power, water is no issue I’m next to a small river, satellite internet is a must but I may have to hack it as no provider here can offer me broadband in the bush.<\/p>\n

I hope to bring out $1-2K of fur per week & still run my eCommerce business on satellite broadband.<\/p>\n

No people, nature, peace & quiet and lots of hard physical bush work. It will do me some good for 3-4 months.<\/p>\n

Dangers are rats that set off the possum traps, have leptospirosis and steal food, earthquakes & landslides. The area is very steep & rife with landslides. Oh yeah & it snows on accasion. So this will be tough.<\/p>\n

Tougher than primal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
