What, huh, Marsupial Gear isn’t Australian, but there is a Kangaroo on it?
Ian makes a startling discovery about his new, favourite bino harness. The guys talk about the importance of quality gear. Mark gives an update of his Buffalo burgers, his Buff skull trophy preparation and the benefits of maceration.
Jono shows off his Biltong machine. The guys debate the value of a good sous vide. Together they figure out what exactly is a gaucho, and of course talk about what’s next on the hunting and fishing calendar…

Tonight, the Campfire Crew chat about their early September return to the Northern Territory to hunt Asiatic Water Buffalo.
Whilst their first trip in 2022 was a real fly in, fly out gig, this time around the crew are road tripping it - with plenty of gear, plenty of tech and a little more experience on board.
They are even planning on bringing some of the Buffalo back for the freezer.

Tonight we have a two for one deal around the campfire. We kick things off with a chat to campfire friend Rhys Bosley, the Independent Candidate for Algester.
Rhys is a strong and dedicated public land advocate and has taken the next step by throwing his hat in the ring by running as an Independent in the forthcoming Qld State Election.
After saying goodbye to Rhys, the campfire conversation turns to shotgunning and Ian’s recent, and ongoing success as a sporting shooter.
Enjoy
