I wouldn't like the idea of sitting all day in a blind by a creek in the Northern Territory, as I've been doing in the southern states. Down here I might be joined by a few blowflies, or a brown snake if really unlucky. Up there, the crocs would see me as a nicely wrapped snack. Leica are not making the most of marketing the Leicavit - the spike would be quite handy in fighting off a croc.
