Hey all.
Well I'm a 25yr old male. Born in New Zealand. Lived there basically my whole life (21 years).
The first time I left the North Island and my first time in a plane was to fly here to Sydney.
I had never really thought about the need for a 72 hour bag before. As I always thought I would be fine if need be.
As I had started the fine art of pig hunting while in NZ with my mums boyfriend. W( who was a wealth of knowledge). Which meant I was pretty fit as I also work at a timber yard doing manual labour.
So fast forward to 18/09/2011 and on this night things changed drastically.
I fell 15 metres from my 3rd floor balcony. Which in turn severed my spine and spinal cord between T7 - T9, broke 10 ribs, left lung collapsed with pneumonia, cracked and dislocated my upper sternum and had a bleeding and hematoma to my left eye. ( which was the main cause of te accident ).
So I am now a T7 - T9 incomplete paraplegic. I am a lucky one who had Angela looking over me as I can now stand and walk short distances if need be.
Makes it south easier around home so I can reach the higher shelves.
So since the accident and seeing so much devastation around not just Australia but the world. This prompted myself and my loving fiancé to think about at least a 72 hour kit as I would now need excess medications, catheters and other medical needs.
So the bags and set and ready to go if need be. But I had found out over the last year that one of my cuzzins has 400 acres about 2.5 - 3 hours south from where we live that he had been using for the weekend hunting and camping area. But he has now got it on the market and will sell it to me cheaper.
We will be going to look at it in a few weeks time. So there will be some photos floating around with details.
I know there is a area that has been set up for there camping. A few water supplies. Electricity is there already.
And if you don't know where the main gate is then you'll have a really tough time finding it.
Oh and my fiancé has her long arms firearms licence. Mine I had to jump through hoops due to the Police report being wrong about my accident. But it should be here within the next 2 months hopefully.
So folks I'm sorry for the very long intro. But thought I would put it all on the table at once.
Thank you
