G,day.
Bit off topic I know but does anyone have a stockwhip, in good condition
that you would like to sell ?
The one I have owned for thirty years has finally bit the dust.
I buried it under the big tree. RIP.
Tar.

PS: I am thinking seriously of getting a new Defender when they arrive
next year ?
Of course, I will never part with the Disco but I have wanted a Defender
for ages, now.
I like to bush bash rather than use tracks in the desert areas but sometimes you just cant help being where other people might turn up and
its a worry these days putting your swag out on the ground with dickheads running loose. At least in the Defender I could sleep in the thing
if I had too.

R.M.Williams still stock them in varioulengths and styles. Why not give them a ring. I didn't think they were all that expensive last time I looked.

Looks like I'll have to do that Brian.
Price isn't the issue tho.
It takes a while to break in a new stockwhip if you want accuracy for
cutting the head off a snake or the nuts off a bite dog or the bravery
out of a sniffer, that sort of thing !
They aren't illegal to carry either and its not bad for whippen stock along and rounding up the chooks also.
Cheers and Happy New Year to all.

Hmm. Must be an interesting life at the Numpties, school uniforms and whips. Instead of a B&B, maybe you can start up a B&D.

Keep at it Missus, its a great thing to know how to use properly.
They are not a toy but a good working tool.
Another use for a whip is flicking a Mango down ( without touching the fruit ) thats out of reach. You can also use it on Bunnies ( for cooking not sport ) if you get one frozen in the headlite beam.
