(Background music: welcome page with a logo of Te Tari Pūreke. There's a border on the top of the screen and the bottom of the screen which is a tohu design. Text says Te Tari Pūreke, Firearms Safety Authority. Seven Rules of Firearms Safety.)
Next slide has the words displayed Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded.
The next screen is a shot of New Zealand bush, with the camera pulling away. A red ute is driving through water, and parks outside a hutt. Two men exit the car and talk to each other.
Hunter 1 gestures towards the bush.
Hunter# 1 "We picked the weather for it mate!"
Hunter #2 "Not too bad"
Hunter #1 "It's a real good spot. There'll be
some animals out here for sure."
Hunter #2 "Yeah surely aye. Gotta be"
Hunter #1 "We'll get you onto one.
Let's get these guns out."
Hunter 1 and 2 walk back to the boot of the ute to unload.
Hunter #1 "Where'd you put the guns?"
The ute of the car shows backpacks and jackets.
Hunter #2 "It's one of these new rules.
You've got to keep them all covered up."
Hunter #1 "True?"
Hunter #1 "Let's get these sorted first.
Both men take a locked case each out of the car and lay them on the ground.
Hunter 1 unlocks his case and lifts his firearm out of the case to demonstrate that his firearm is unloaded.
Hunter 1 "Sweet bro I'll just prove
to you that mine's unloaded."
Hunter #2 "Yep, clear."
Hunter #1 "Choice. Show me yours?
Hunter 2 lifts his firearm out of his case and shows Hunter #1 that his firearm is unloaded.
Hunter 1 "Yeah nice mate."
Let's just start off with bolts in nothing in the chamber and empty mags on aye?"
Hunter #2 "Yep, righto."
Both men proceed to put their firearms over their shoulders.
Next shot shows the bush before returning to both men in the frame talking to each other.
Hunter #1 "You all good"
Hunter #2 "Yeah mate, sorted."
Hunter #1 "Grab the rest of our gear aye?
Reckon we got everything?"
I've got a PLB, head lamp, jacket, ammo ....
Hunter #2 "Ammo!"
Hunter #2 walks towards the ute to retrieve the ammo.
Hunter #1 "Sweet! Lucky we checked."
Hunter #2 opens the car door, takes his firearm off his shoulder, rests it against the vehicle, leans into the vehicle to get the ammunition from the glove box with his left hand, and puts his right hand over the muzzle.
Hunter #1 "Woah Nick. Watch that hand over the muzzle man,
remember the first rule, treat every firearm as loaded."
Hunter #2 closes the car door, and lifts his firearm strap over his shoulder.
Hunter #2 "Mate, we just cleared it over there just before, like two minutes ago."
Hunter #1 "Yeah we did clear it but it's a bad habit to get into. You never know when it's going to bite ya."
Hunter #2 "Yeah, fair play."
Hunter #1 "Sweet. No worries. Let's go."
Both men walk away from the ute, towards the bush.
Text appears over the men slowly walking towards the bush. Text says:
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded.
Always carry out safety precautions and check every firearm yourself. Never point a firearm at yourself or any other person.
