A buddy near me has scolded me for leaving out two things.
Knife - I had a Battle Horse Knife out there with me, and an SRK-1 for security work, should that have been needed. When we went out on the economy, I had a neck knife, a belt knife, and two folders.
My ammo load was the last of my RL-15 handloads, and Buffalo Bore 270gr that clocks 2700 FPS out of 20" Rugers (he has guide guns, I have the Alaskan).
DesperateZulu - Juan apparently WAS worried I would be put in the tank - he thought they would no grant bail before the trial as I had a ticket back to the US and since I had no relations or property in RSA, they would consider me a flight risk and deny bail. Apparently, though, the hard work he and PHASA have done for years built credibility with the SAPS higher ups and finally convinced them to let things go.
CAustin - WOW! If I can bring a smile to someone who has done 8 trips to the dark continent, I musta done OK on the write-up - thanks!
