I have both first editions, but I take the mini with clients as a reference

On a quiet day you can hear a Nissan rust….

Lots of wonderful after market Toyota stuff in Australia. ARB, TJM etc.

Land Cruiser 79. If used only on the hunting property 4,2D, if used to travel long distance, pick up clients etc the 4,5D V8

In order of preference. 1. Alaska Arms QD 2.Talley QD 3. Warne QD

That is not true. The lions in Kruger, Makuleka, Hluhluwe Imfolozi, madikwe etc are free range. If you considder the lion in BVC in Zim Free Range, how on earth can Kruger and APNR lions not be?

We are very fortunate that we only get two hours a day, and not every day. But yes. I do run a 25 KVA generator as backup.

If I read all of this Ukraine/ Russia, Israel/ Palestine, Trump/ Biden news I’m very glad I live in South Africa. I bought a new Land Cruiser (diesel spill and rain wrote the other double cab off) and tomorrow I take the day off to shoot a young reedbuck for mince. Sunday after hanging the...

I’m also of the school that believes as long as Hendrick’s distills, I’m a fairly boring customer. Hard to beat with a slice of lime or cucumber, after a hard day in the Kalahari dust. I will not pull my nose up for a Bombay Sapphire or Tenqueray if that is available. If you want to take good...

Grundheim is something else!! Their Witblits (mampoer in afrikaans), a type of moonshine is enough to make tough men cry and weak men die…

Indeed. Morris knows his way around a milling machine…

I grew up here, so at the ripe old age of 5, a month before my 6th birthday I shot an Impala ram with a little Brno ZKW .22 Hornet.

That is not true. All races had equal rights and were citizens. Read Adelino Serras Pires’ great book “winds of havoc” on the fall of Moçambique

I can answer you, but that will win me a most certain ban…

What was the mean age of shot 1 and two? How many were lost to follow up after shot one? Was the cold chain adhered to in Ethiopia? Were all the test subjects’ HIV status known? Were all the test subjects’ HPV status known prior to vaccination? Given their age I assume that a fair amount were...

Please elaborate on Gardasil, the HPV vaccine to this brainwashed imbecile. Your singular use of the word “strain that causes cervical cancer” also confuses me. I live in the area with the highest HIV incidence in the world. Hence the highest HPV incidence as well. I’m open to be convinced of...

Tracking Eland in North Eastern Namibia, Bushman-land, with Bushman trackers, distinguishing one hole in the sand from another as a specific animal’s track, and feeling the palpable excitement in their voices as you get closer and they communicate to each other in their click like native tongue...

And then obviously all the Jim Corbett. Although not African

Probably more randomly than how much I enjoyed them, but the 1st five are gems. So are some lower down like Everett’s books and West with the night, as well as Wayne Grant’s books. If you speak the language there are some Afrikaans and German books which make for great reading as well. And...

I used to use a Lansky a lot. 5 stones from course to field, 3 diamond stones and 2 serrated stones. Problem is it takes long. I still however use it from time to time for serrated blades. Currently I use a Warthog on most knives at 20 or 25 degrees. The stones are more course on the one side...

The cheap version of a Tormek, i have an old one, is a bench grinder, with the grinding disks replaced by two equally sized press board wheels. The one gets a stip of 800 grit paper over as step one, while the second has its edges slightly beveled and has the wood polished. The latter only hone...

Another sodomized Type A. Pity. Bolt handle and stock altered, new safety and perhaps new wood, or a cleanup of a oil soak stock, that should have been done using some alkanet root to give it a more red colour.

I never got too much of a liking for the .416 Rem Mag. Some friends own them and they are heavy kickers Then I impulsively bought a .416 Ruger years later… also high chamber pressure, more scarce cartridge and with a stout kick compared to the .416 Rigby… go figure… but the Tupperware Alaskan...

But they may be exposed to permanent psychological and physical alterations to their bodies, accompanied by pain, which is encouraged in the domestic and social environment by means of changing gender…

Spoiled only child, but he has his moments when he doesn’t confuse a pigeon with a tennis ball

I want to make it clear that I’m not making a penny off this project. Purely advertising for a great leopard hunter and good author to help out. A large area of the Matobos is busy being turned into a conservation scheme for the leopards. Proceeds of the book will also go into helping with...

Land Cruiser 79 Double Cab 2013 model.

In SA they are long Johns or thermal underwear. “Base layer”would get many a shop assistant confused

As much as I love my Von Gruff EDC, and have gutted and skinned about 100 animals with it, there are many makers who finish their knives to a better quality. Michael du Plessis Piet Gray Andries Strydom Grayson Jennings Adriaan de Villiers Arno Bernard George Muller etc etc.

DWB or myself will speak to him. He might be out hunting. Most South African knife makers send across the pond regularly. DHL cost is $35-$40.

Second focal plain

Fenix and two headlights. In the camelback, as someone in invariably not going to have one. Oh. And a little Black Diamond upright one next to my bed.

In SA Marius? Momentum, Fedhealth and Profmed

Yes I happen to have detailed trauma surgery and ER knowledge. Insinuating I am a bullshitter on a public forum is like water off a duck’s back from a faceless, nameless stranger. I will answer you with a counter question. 1. Have any, and how many elephant, not died, irrespective of an...

This is why we advocate that everyone on the eastern half of SA remains up to date with rabies vaccination. No one has ever contracted rabies after a saliva contact and correct protocol of antibodies and the vaccine, yet i know of a few deaths due to ignorance.

Luckily the polyvalent vaccine happens in hospital, as it is as likely to kill you than the Mamba of Mfezi. Polyvalent snake vaccines are derived from horse serum, and anaphylaxis occurs in more than 50% of cases.

Andries Strydom’s knives are some of the best finished out there.

Only problem- and don’t get me wrong- I love my collection of Benchmades and Spydercos is that they have a tendancy to scratch a beautiful wallnut stock if clipped in the right pocket. Carrying muzzle down somewhat mitigates for this, but then the blueing can stilll scratch.

Try living in Africa without a wallet and cash, and the leatherman. We obviously live in two worlds…

In order to understand why a lung shot with a weapon of any sorts is looking for trouble on an elephant you need to understand the anatomy. I have conducted autopsies on elephant in Kruger, and their lungs, due to the weight, are attached to the inner thoracic wall. This opposes the mechanism...

Not to mention all his lond distance bow wounds. I also had the misfortune of guiding him years ago and putting down many plainsgame with a rifle. Prick of note

Wat maak jy in Texas Brummer? Is Ciaan en Antonie nog in Kanada?

Please note this book contains extra chapters and material.

I placed that post on Facebook, as I did here. I’m in regular contact with Wayne. His comms are limited as he is guiding in the Matobos at the moment. The book will be printed by the agent in Houston, sent to RSA for Wayne to number and sign, and then shipped in bulk back to “Good books in the...

Yes, but when you go to town, have lunch, buy diesel or recline in camp the hunting rifle is not with you. As opposed to Redleg I also did not spend a career in the military, and can only assume our self defence skills with a knife is chalk and cheese…

Fair point. Being a resident here i have the luxury of carrying a Glock19 for two leg menaces.
