wish had pics of tree roots and creek
Unfortunately I don't, but here are the plants from that plot. That harvest was great btwwish had pics of tree roots and creek
reminds me of a time about hmm 6-7 years ago and i had word that leo was watching one of my patches !
now it was almost harvest time and i'd planted a lot from ACE seeds for the first time , golden tiger and malawi , so i was very keen not to lose them . so come about 3am one morning i covered my number plates and set off the 15km's to retrieve what i could .
down a bush track , farm on the right and national park on the left , i drove about 5k's and parked the car on the track .
and off i set , quite moonlight and a misty drizzle so all the bush was dripping wet so it never took long for me to get the same way .. lol
getting in was quite easy , follow the faint outline of an old sandy track for maybe a k , then turn right and follow a kangaroo track for another k .
now the last approach was very stealthy , mostly on my knees , ever watchful until one by one i gently pulled all of my plants . it felt like fresh honey on the buds , so resiny .
i tied them all together and hoisted them on my shoulder , it felt like a ton , my knees wobbled but away i went .
now , in my wisdom i thought i'd cut the corner and go a different way back ! a new way ! so i followed another roo track , sometimes on my hands and knees , dragging this great pile of weed . lol .
suddenly .. this great black shape erupted right in front of me and charged straight over the top of me , knocking me to the ground and taking a fair amount of skin on it's way ..
i'd stumbled upon a sleeping kangaroo and it panicked . well i lay there for what seemed like forever , my heart was racing , it scared the shit out of me !
then what happened became a lot clearer and i started laughing .. how could i ever convey this little adventure to anyone ! haha so i stumbled on , found the car , got it loaded and was home before daybreak , safe n sound !
that's what keeps people like you guys and myself doing this shit !
I'm also a bow hunter, so your story resonates with me.
I had a guy walk under me once, but he was carrying a bow. "Stalking" because some people think they're fucking ninjas...
Anyways. I was only 14 so I just yelled at him and he turned a 180 and left the way he came.
Nowadays that would have gone differently...
Not because I'm a psychopath or anything, but when you've spent 4 hours in tree and anything walks under you that doesn't belong there it's frustrating on a whole new level.
These days I calmly remove my broad head and place a non lethal shot on said critter. There's very little penetration when you shoot an arrow without a point on it but I'm sure it's unpleasant.
I've seen some strange things come through the woods, but seeing another stealthy human is uniquely weird.
