My true outdoor stories out of Africa....

[redman2006]

Man, that will leave a mark.

I wonder what he ties the trip wire to....

[redman2006]

Um, yes, but I question sanity.

[kickstand]

What? Haven't you ever heard of a "mobile rocket launcher" before? Or a Naval Weapons System?

I could see the other side tucking tail and running when that amount of crazy came at them all at once.

Primitive Horn Bow Impala Hunt-success eventually !
A very rare type of hunt the real back to basics way.

My latest 'primitive' hunt has now been published and can be read in this fine Bowhunting magazine of Nov-Dec 2018 [also electronically available through Magzter]

Awesome, did you write it out as an information piece, a personal experience story, or were you interviewed?

[Observe]

In some parts of the world, it is called 'survival' or 'bushcrafting' etc.
When we go out in the bush/wild for a couple of days, we only call it 'camping'.
These are some of the campfires for basic food preparation and a bit of philosophy at night apart for some protection from some wild critters at night.
We are very privileged..

Very nice, but those pots look heavy to be packing into the brush.

[Observe]

Yep, but we do not always have to carry everything to get to a very remote spot down here.
Sometimes you can do bundu bashing or 4x4 where there are no roads to some pretty lonely places and to then carry from the Jeep to the river or mountain ridge with a beautiful view are not that hard.
Still, being out on your own in nature miles and miles from any other human being does have its own appeal.
And then to 'rough it' for a couple of days is priceless.
You don't necessarily have to starve yourself half to death each time you go camping alone out there.
These semi-tame wild camps does teach [and hone] you a lot of valuable [survival?] skills also in a controlled manner for the times when you really have to go out there with the minimum of tools and gear.
It is sadly a way of life that is getting lost for a lot of the technology minded youngsters these days.
We are living in changing times....

[Observe]

....don't even think about it,flat dog...

Observe, are you warming up enough there? Our cold temperatures came long before winter, and it doesn't "seem" anomolous, it just seems like winter. I know you should be getting near summer temperatures, but we aren't getting global weather reports.
