What are your Tips & Must Haves - 2nd Safari - Namibia

[bakerb]

I should add to my post above. My minimalist attitude began on at home hunts, and was hammered home on a sheep hunt in Russia where my luggage didn’t make it. Fortunately my rifle made it. And I was wearing my hunting boots, a merino shirt, and kuiu attack pants. And Duluth underwear.

I wore those things for 17 days straight. Took them off at night and hung them over the fire to dry. Wore them on the flights home. Lord knows what I smelled like.

All the stuff I’d packed, would have been nice, but turns out I didn’t need it

Yeah seems that some of the recos like barefoot style shoes are not a match for that.
With the rocks, think then it needs to have ankle support? I don’t have the strongest ankles and don’t want to roll one! lol

Was going to look at Jim Green footwear to see what they may have. Any brands you have found to align well with Kaokoland?

I’ve worn these light weight Veja mid ankle boots. They are nice and light, flexible, and quiet. But you can lace them up really well with the hooks and still have nice ankle support. I’ve put a lot of miles on mine. Two safaris in the Namib highlands and countless miles in West Texas mountains. Comfortable enough for airport and 30 hours of travel.

Mine have been good to me

Agree with all above.
- PH or tracker will carry sticks or tripod, use theirs as they will set them up. Don't want them carrying something they don't normally set up.
- Leatherman/tool knife/ allen wrench for optics (bag)
- imodium & ass wipes (bag)
- binos & hearing protection (walker's) so you can hear the PH (on your person)
- warming layers/ rain gear (bag)
- snacks/water (bag)
- more ammo than you think you need (bag), I keep 3 in the mag, 6 on my hip and up to 40 in the bag.

Good luck
