Why I'll never hire Craig Boddington's Outfitters

[rookhawk]

Watched an episode of "tracks across Africa" on YouTube.

Anyone else up for a "Namibia" hunt with Craig Boddington?

Geez...they must have stamped my passport wrong!

 

[BRICKBURN]

Why do Americans get a bad wrap about geography?!

 

[edward]

i must be missing the punch line.

That's not Namibia on the map. That's Zambia.

 

[BRICKBURN]

Someone on the tech side was not paying attention that's for sure.

 

[edward]

got ya.

@rookhawk I have met Dirk hes not a bad guy but whoever edited that video/ map is a real freaking idiot

 

[LivingTheDream]

Yeah that's a pretty big mess up, lol.

Someone in the editing room definitely got fired

 

[rookhawk]

It was definitely the director that needed the firing. Whoever wrote the whole narrator copy got it wrong. They were talking about "British East Africa" and "SE Africa" in the narration and then they would mention Namibia.

What really happened: They had two shoots in the can, one for Zambia, one for Namibia. At a later date they tried to make a single episode from already filmed material that already had narrator's copy done up. Some complete ignoramus at an editing studio tried to knit the two episode segments together into one and got all the facts backwards and confused at an epic level. They even created content like the graphics discussed/depicted for the wrong countries.

Hilarious.

i know dirk and he is a real nice guy

 

[brushmore]

And here I thought they were in the country of Africa!

 

[Ray B]

you know what they say: They all look alike.

 

[tigris115]

It's especially unforgivable in this day and age where you can google "map of Africa" in 10 seconds

I was hunting in Namibia in 2013. That continental drift is a bugger.

With all the Christmas earth quakes you'll never know where you may end up.

Do tell sir! Ha!

 

[James Cook]

I've hunted with Dirk at his place in Namibia - great guy and pays attention to every detail - guarantee the error was not his!

 

[Red Leg]

Dirk is good people and a terrific PH. His concession/ ranch in Namibia (not Zambia, Northern Rhodesia, whatever) is near Windhoek and is alive with plains game. He deserves better. Hopefully someone has notified the good Colonel of the goof.
