i ran into a hunter with massive bags stacked onto a pack frame, either he was incredibly strong or the bags were light.
so how do you work out how many seeds the beech trees will drop?
simple. you shoot the beech trees... take a high powered rifle and shoot..... the branches off, gather the branches and take them away for analysis...
the hunter may have been very lucky or unlucky depending on your point of view. he was dropped off by helicopter at the top of mountains in fiordland and worked his way down to the valley shooting branches off beech trees and collecting them....
he stood on a rock he didnt realise was covered in moss and took a slide,,,, over a bluff.....
he'd damaged his ankle, but managed to walk down to the river and a hut where he got on a radio before continuing his walk out... later on when his boss got wind of his accident, he was thoughtful enough to send a chopper for him to save him the walk out..
from the land of the long white clouds...
