Old African trackers, camp personnel, and PH's often show off old school methods of dealing with hunting/tracking/cooking/logistics that are simple yet effective. Many I would never have known about if I had not observed them. Case in point--when I shot my warthog, the African personnel immediately went looking for just the right kind of sapling. They cut them off at the ground and then cut HALF WAY through near the first limb. They broke it in such a way as to peel the inner Cambrian layer with the bark from the wood core, THEN peel the fibrous layer from the bark, leaving them with home made fibrous ROPE. Wow. They trussed up the pig to a stout pole and two of them carried it out to the truck. Outstanding, and self sufficient.

Please feel free to share observations about bushcraft from not just an African perspective, but perhaps what you learned from indigenous people from the arctic and other places!

Maybe you have experienced it closer to home....

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good day, Slider.

Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?

Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
