I am available for pre-departure advice and training on the machine gun. May I recommend something in 7.62 x 39mm from the former Soviet bloc or China, an RPD for example. Whilst an old model, they are both cheap, available and effective.(1) Useful for hunting(1) when the inevitable breakdowns while geographically disorientated occur.

I have to because I've just had a couple of days of total confusion. Friday 07:00 I checked out of my hotel. Friday 12:00 I was told I needed to be on site on Saturday morning. Friday 12:30 I phoned Adie and told her I'd be home Saturday afternoon. Friday 13:00 I phoned the hotel and told them I'd be back in the evening. Saturday 08:00 I was told I was needed on site tomorrow. Saturday 09:30 I phoned Adie and told her I'd be home next Friday. Saturday 10:00 I phoned the hotel and told them I'd be back this afternoon. I could have gone home tomorrow but we'll be working until 17:30 so I'd get home at about 20:30 then have to be up at 04:30 on Monday morning to set off for work again. Sometimes my job can become a bit of a pain.

I've got a proven track record when it comes to finding gullible fools willing to camp in the snow so getting them to go somewhere warm will be easy.
