Those were my thoughts exactly once I looked at them. I always rub the material together with all of my hunting clothes and they were not ideal for a stalk in the bush. I decided to buy heavy duty carhartt pants in Khaki and Green (Safari/olive green in color) I think should be perfect when compared to what my PH wears in the field (in pictures and videos) and they are very quiet and comfortable for the long days of walking and hiking. I've been lucky enough to book the safari with Jason their lead PH who has quite the reputation and was recommended to me through a few people and we are now friends on Facebook and communicate through messenger which seems to be an easy way to get information or advice from him when I need it. The owner has been amazing getting back to me within 12 hours (with the time difference) of every email I have sent him. So far I've been very impressed with how great the communication has been with my outfitter Huntershill.
Another thing I need to ask them is if they have gun cleaning supplies on hand if needed like Solvent or even oil. I plan to bring a snake to keep the barrel as clean as I can but I do see it rains often in hunts in June. Thinking I may bring some individual packaged wipes. I really don;t want to have to bring a full cleaning kit for my Bergara 300 Win Mag. All I have in my pelican case I just cut specific for the trip is my rifle, sling, Bolt separated from my rifle , AI Mag separated, a backup Leupold scope and my preferred BOG Tactical Tri-pod shooting sticks rather than bringing a second rifle (hopefully that is the right decision). I'm so green to Africa that I have been doing a lot of research and see a lot of people bring their own cleaning gear. I tend to over pack for trips in the US, Canada and Mexico so I'm trying to pack light with the essentials since laundry is done daily. Bringing Binos and Range finder in my carry on pack.
Pic is a rain jacket/windbreaker in that pattern.
