irishnut 297 Posted December 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 the gear stays in the landy at all times, along with a chainsaw and bill hook, i use alot of the same kit when tidying up around the farm the more kit you have the more you can use, in tricky spots sounder79 i suppose you just use a soup spoon and the force. as for the gloves, if you have never been bitten by a fox, keep it that way by wearing gloves, i use them to get fox outta hole Quote Link to post

irishnut 297 Posted December 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 you are all saying i bring too much, i idea of me asking the question was to find out what everyone else brings, if its less gear, what is it then, what would be your bare essentials, some of the stuff i've listed isn't essential, but gets the job done no fuss Quote Link to post

burrowman 6 Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Bringin all that gears fine if you have the luxury of drivin round in a jeep to check earths.But if like me you have to do it the hard way on foot every ounce counts so you keep it to minimum, T-bar,small shoulder bag with folding spade,folding saw,fox nets and small water bottle inside.Collar on the dog and locator in pocket all you need facin a 5 to 10 mile hike. a.t.b Burrowman.
