The Man Eater Which Accidentally Ambushed Me!

Oh, you have NO idea , Gizmo ! I do not smoke , but I do drink ( casually ) .
I enjoy red wines ( like St. Estephe or Chianti ) , brandy ( especially plum brandy ) , Old Monk Rum ( The pride of India ) and Stout Beer ( My favorite type of beer , in the entire world ) .

As a matter of fact.... I actually celebrated after this incident , with some flame grilled mutton chops and a bottle of Old Monk Rum .
Sounds like a great celebration. Two of my favorite things are lamb and spiced rum.
 
I thank you for once again taking us along on your adventures in another time and place.

I absolutely enjoyed reading your true account, you tell it so well, and had a chuckle when you spoke about your methods of critter exterminating prior to going in to your fox hole, it really adds to the atmosphere of it all.

There's always more to a hunt, than the hunt itself, especially the critters, or other bug bears.

Keep up the great work, and well done at surviving the terrifying ordeal.

Regards

Rob

Why thank you so much , Rob ! Early in my career ... I actually had to spend 1 night hiding in such an " ambush hole" , in wait for a man eating forest panther. I merely had the hole dug that day... without lighting any fire or using any insect repellent . I quickly ended up regretting it . I had to spend the entire night .... struggling to keep the insects from crawling all over me.

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
