Confirmation of the above from another source, the book "Safari" by Bartle Bull. On page 17: "...Like many Swahili words widely used in east Africa, the term 'safari' has its origins in Arabic. There had been Arab traders and slavers along the coast since at least 1300. The root verb safara...

I have learned a lot from Robertson's books. I have "Africa's Most Dangerous," "Perfect Shot II" (hardcover), and "The Perfect Shot: Mini Edition for Africa II." I also give them as gifts. I have "It Shouldn't Happen," which is humorous. I especially enjoyed Robertson's chapter in that book...

It was minus 47 degrees in the low-lying areas in Fairbanks yesterday evening. Ice fog has been awful. I had to go out at minus 37 the other day. Total ice fog in town. I could not see a thing. I have not experienced ice fog this bad for many, many years. I could not see the tail lights...

Freefall, I have lived in Alaska over 30 years. I have taught both bear protection classes and self-defense classes. For bear protection, I have taught with Remington 870s and .357 4-inch barrel Ruger GP100s and S&W 4-inch barrel 686s. I recommend people new to shooting or wilderness protection...

I didn't hunt last year--visited, Zimbabwe in anticipation of a hunt in 2025. I wanted to travel with peace of mind. I purchased Global Rescue, medical, and extraction insurance for the month. I purchased a Garmin In-reach, knowing I might not have phone service in some areas I was going to...

If you are talking about Wild Hare Shooting Gear, I've purchased from Peregrine Field Gear in past years: https://www.peregrinefieldgear.com/store/m/96-Wild-Hare-Shooting-Gear.aspx Laura

I spent quite a few years dog mushing at extremely cold temperatures. Our cut-off for training was 20 below zero, but we could get caught out at worse than that. Many of us had insulated covers made for our thermoses, see below. We had them made for coolers, too, which we used to put hot...

I stayed at City Hotel in August, one night before catching the next morning's flight to Harari. The staff were polite and helpful. The room was nice, clean, and not overpriced for what it is. Traveling by myself, I felt safe there. I used Rifle Permits. In the evening, we went outside and...

I used Tiles on all my bags, check-in and carry-on. I had only one tracking problem in Newark to Johannesburg when one check-in bag dropped off my app. Not sure it if was something I did or a glitch in the app, but the bag showed up again in the app at Johannesburg. My Tiles worked at the...

My now 10-year-old German Shepherd has as the base a raised bed. On top of that is an LLBean soft cushion. On top of that, I put an LLBean's Rugged Quilted Dog Blanket. The raised bed keeps the dog off the cold floor in winter and provides support. It is easy to vacuum underneath. The middle...

This sounds like a wonderful adventure. I hope you can keep us updated on your progress. Will you add a GoPro and drone so we can live the adventure with you? Maybe on YouTube if not here. I have been following on YouTube a lady from the Netherlands, Noraly, on her motorcycle travels...

You will be in my prayers, ArmyAV8tor. Keep planning for that Cape Buffalo hunt!

I found some by Googling "Shooters Magic Eye Dot System."

Hi Sue, I don't think there is any audio on this one. Just watched it. Laura

Thank you, Mark. I appreciate your sharing this information. And I love the Pardini! Laura

I was able to download it and watch it. Very fast response; no hesitation. Thank you for sharing.

Fantastic read. Riveting. Pulled between laughter and fear. Love your writing. Thank you for sharing this adventure. Laura

For what I think is excellent information on red dot systems, durability, and how we function with them, try Aaron Cowan’s website: https://www.sagedynamics.org/ Scroll down and download his white paper: “Miniaturized Red Dot Systems for Duty Handgun Use, Fourth Edition, 2021.” There might be...

Hi Sue, Welcome. I have only been on Africa Hunting since late May, but I have learned a lot quickly from the wonderful participants here. I ordered your book and can't wait to read it. Yes--self-publishing is constantly changing. And marketing--I'm sure you are doing all the right things...

I recently started the conversation with Tim at Matrix. I'll be sending my CZ 550 .375 H&H later in January. I need to go into Upgrade 3 because I am having the factory stock replaced. I want to preserve the original stock. I need a much shorter LOP and will likely go with synthetic. Tim has...

Sending prayers for you, Mark. I hope you are out of the hospital and back to doing the things you enjoy soon.

Please accept my condolences and heartfelt prayers. Having recently lost someone dear to me, I can imagine how you must feel. Know that the sadness and emptiness will in time be replaced by the best memories of a shared life. Stay in the present and your faith will help you get through this.

WG455, I am so sad to hear of your loss. You have a lot on your mind right now. Give yourself time to settle into some clarity. The statement you wrote above caught my eye. If you are interested in a career involved with firearms perhaps start out with a certification of your skills. You...

I used the CZ 455 rifles for many years in our youth program. We added the CZ 457 rifles when we expanded. The CZs held up well--no issues at all except some dents and scratches in the stocks. One feature we liked better on the CZ 457 rifles is the 60-degree bolt rotation over the 90-degree...

Greetings Tanks. I sent you and Kevin a message. Thank you for offering to deliver Cal's book.

When one door closes, another opens. Cal Pappas loved to share his experiences hunting in Africa. The sparkle in his eyes and the enthusiasm in his voice drew in his listeners. When he finished talking, and while you were dreaming, he would say, "Do you want to come along? You can go with me."...

Greetings everyone, I've been following Africa Hunting for almost a year now. I have learned much from all you share. I appreciate the hunt reports. I plan to hunt in Africa next year, and I'll be soaking up knowledge here until then. My experience is not with hunting larger game, but with...
