  1. I will ask someone to get some pics,do a websearch on Badjao sea-gypsies,not the ones who now live around places like Davao,but the real ones down in sulu&jolo,I stayed with them for 3 months once,small kids would manufacture spearguns from off-cuts of wood,triggers from bent nails,necessity is the mother of invention I remeber seeing basic spearfishing-guns in a fishing shop on Gib years ago,always wanted to try for some of those fat grey-mullet that cruised around the boats with impunity What are you going to use yours for Maty?Impulse buy?I think the elastics should be easy to buy o

  7. I remember we once put a terrier into a bramble patch over at Shooters Hill,big old mattress of a place running alongside a chain-link fence,seven fox squirted out in about 10 minutes,the terriers would often catch them in thick cover in allotments,waste-ground etc,I know the sort of ground you work KD and it is indeed saturated with fox
