Not just PHs....... Some of my profile pics are not the most up to date

Lay all your kit on the bed. Put your cash next to it. Take 1/2 the kit away and put it back in the draws. Double the amount of cash. That should cover all needs.

If you are shooting driven boar in Europe you probably want to go .300 and above. .270 will do the job but the outfitters will probably prefer .330/308/30-06. Most plains game are good with .270 but in thicker bush at shorter ranges .300 or .308 I tend to agree with the 30-06 guys - but I...

Probably not the .375 for deer in UK. Both keepers and authorities are shy of them.

Can't go wrong with Jonsson - and some needles and thread for in camp repairs.

See you are from Denmark - see quite a few Danes where I stalk in Scotland - great hunters. The Harkilia stuff works well in Africa - I have a bit for use here in UK.

Sorry - Jonsson is correct spelling

Sorry my spelling out - its Jonsson I use this store - great shops in Joburg, Pretoria, Cape Town and a few others. Very dangerous though as pop in for a t-shirt and walk out several hundred dollars lighter...... https://safarioutdoor.co.za/ These in green or kakhi are great...

5.11 are good - their shirts too. If you are in SA or can shop in SA Johnston Workwear make great pants and shirts - all or almost all cotton. You want something that can stand up to thorns or can be easily repaired in camp with cotton and needle.

I wore (still wear) an Omega Seamaster in Africa for 20 years. Sometime with a nato strap, sometime with the stainless steel. Never had an issue. Only have the one watch. Hunt in long sleeves but not sure that reflection is an issue if yo are not in a military situation. Done a lot of...

Hi - nice set up - what case is this? Looks shorter than the 1700 peli

Ifs mostly safe - lived in Africa 25 years and 13 of them in Joburg. Be aware and don’t flash cash or expensive watches or jewelry- like anywhere including US/UK. If you are taking grandchildren make sure they wear seatbelts. November can be hot so drink plenty of water and stay out of the sun...

I’m in a similar position but looking to get barrels in 270 (for UK deer and some PG) and a 375 for a R8 or Mauser if I just want to take one rifle. 375 ammo is easy to get in Africa especially SA where you should be able to buy if you show your FAC and import (270, 308, 30-06 also widely...

HI Hank - sorry bit quick out of the gate as a newbie on here. What I was trying to say (badly) is that the management hunts are important, that they bring a lot of benefits, but that the style of hunting and the animals selected are not usually the same as trophy hunts. Tried to focus is on...
