Default Bat life or batt life?

Do the GPS batteries have a lifetime guarantee?

I believe they are good for 4+ years, which I also understand, will outlive the GHFF that they are on, as they are only placed on adults, over a certain weight, and are considered 'good health' under the guidelines...

Yep, sure can.

Do you mind if it's only pieces or chunks that are retrieved?

They smell bad enough when 'fresh'. I'd hate to smell one all cooked up

Fruit Bat Soup 3 Fruit bats, well washed but either skinned nor eviscerated,
Water
1 tb Finely sliced fresh ginger,
1 lg Onion, quartered,

I knew if we were patient, this would become available. For all of you who have been waiting patiently to make your fruit bats into fruit bat soup, here's a recipe.

The following is a genuine recipe from Micronesia. Fruit bats, or flying foxes, are furry, fruit and nectar eating bats about the size of small rabbits. The make very affectionate pets.

Sea salt to taste, Chopped scallions, Soy sauce and/or coconut cream.

1. Place the bats in a large kettle and add water to cover, the ginger, onion, and salt. Bring to the boil and cook for 40 minutes. Strain broth into a second kettle.

2. Take the bats, skin them and discard the skin. Remove meat from the bones and return meat, and any of the viscera you fancy, to the broth. Heat.

3. Serve liberally sprinkled with scallions and further seasoned with soy sauce and/or coconut cream.

Default What are we looking at?

Could this be a Trent 100 stage 3 after ingesting a flock (?) of fruit bats? It surely can't be just Bernie's kettle cooker? And by the way Mr Botanic, what is the collective noun for fruit bats? A bowl?
