If you're actually worried about stalker crocodiles and looking for tips, then you should have been able to figure out that a gun could help by now.

Predictable logic fail is predictable. :roll:
Pro-gun and anti-authoritarianism are separate issues.

Or are you just too dumb to be able to differentiate?
Did I say what your single issue was? Read back. I await your apology. :tea:
I guess you don't know what quotes mean.

I await your interesting explanation of how gun rights and anti-authoritarianism are the same thing, though. Should be good.

Having learned a valuable lesson about dealing with salties, Oceanic Kiwi returns to Governor's Island with the proper equipment.

I'd want to be at least a few feet above the waterline. :nervous:

Finally someone with a clue. Refreshing.

You'd think so.

But, I doubt it.

Ah, a gentleman from the Polar Regions. Excellent.

He'll probably reckon the croc is some class of an whale.

Collector said something earlier in the thread that I can agree to to a certain extent. People doing these sorts of adventurous activities should be prepared and self-reliant, not dependent on others (or government agencies) to get them out of trouble.

However, in this situation, a gun was not the correct form of preparation. You don't protect yourself against crocodile attack in northern Australia with a firearm, but by sensible behaviour and the right equipment (in this case, a run-about with an outboard motor instead of a canoe). By being alert, camping a fair distance from the waters edge, having plenty of water etc, one could enjoy being Robinson Crusoe on one of these isolated island. (BTW, crocodiles are a protected species, shooting them is against the law as well as unnecessary.)

In other outback contexts, a rifle would be useful - there are many feral animals that need shooting (e.g.. pigs, goats, foxes), and recreational hunters can have a great time while being useful to the environment as well...

Maybe he could have used a mobile phone (cell phone to you colonials) ... not to call for help, but to scare the croc. After all, it works with Polar Bears:

They are indeed, but all croc meat sold in Oz comes from farmed crocodiles (primarily for their skins, but the meat is also sold). I ate it several times on my recent trip up north...

I should have said wild crocs are protected...
