Hypothetically, I am looking to do wildland firefighting this summer.

I will most likely be gone for 4-6 months in the bush and possibly have to rent a room during that time away. For temporary moves like that can I leave all my documentation as is (PAL/RPAL, Where I live, Drivers Licence Etc) Or do i have to change it only to change it when I return.

I was originally going to transfer my restricted to my friend - which I cant anymore

I was also considering giving my guns to a gun smith before leaving and picking them up in 4-6 months upon my return

Are these options even possible or does this sound illegal af and I'm dumb as fuck?

Sounds very reasonable. Talk to your CFO.
