love the detail even down to the labels on the tins!! would be interesting to see what some of the photos looked like in black and white or that sepia tint some cameras/phones can create .

Sir my complements to Mr. Herman Nel on his skill to build such a wagon.
Good luck on training the Oxen.

 

[Gert Odendaal]

Yes, the participants really try to keep it as original as possible..that is the reason we keep out every plastic item if possible..

[Gert Odendaal]

It is my pleasure if members enjoy this thread..the hunt really was and is extremely enjoyable, and really , we learned a lot as well...

 

[Gert Odendaal]

This type of hunt can not be compared with the everyday hunt during the winter months in South Africa...as said previously it is a way of life for that week...long gone ....

Gert,
I have shared information about this thread with some of our local black powder enthusiasts and they loved all that you have posted. They are not members to this forum, but perhaps soon may be. I think at least one is now dreaming about packing up their kit and joining you in the future!
I located this link from our local newspaper about one of their outings.

I have a true reproduction Hawken Rifle that I shoot now and again. Beautiful piece.

Convey our apreciation for all that went into the hunt and making the video to share more fully with us the adventure you all had.

 

[Gert Odendaal]

Members, please let me express my sincere appreciation for all your kind responses , it is much, much appreciated. Our fellow hunter and friend, Wallace Vosloo recently lost all his possessions in a bush fire in the Knysna Forrest. His neighbour , son(3 years of age ) and wife burned dead . Wallace`s ox wagon with all his accoutrements burned down to ashes.
We are currently planning to build him a a new ox wagon..this will be a thread I will upload as wel with a lot of photos since it will be the first ever original ox wagon build ever in our new century ...the ox wagon will be build from the ground up..using the parts of the ox wagon that is still usable after the fire...

Gert so sorry to hear about that, give Wallace our best. Condolences to the family of his neighbor also...
