I need your tips on how to reassure the wife

Whether it’s Africa or just a weekend trip to hunt pheasants, my wife always thinks I’m gonna die on my trips

Good luck!!

First I had to show her how to use the TV remote......

Then we talked about how to descale the coffee machine and what days the trash picks up.

I decided it was best not to teach her how to set the thermostat......

Sounds like our wives are sisters. . . .

One year from today I'll be 5 days into a buffalo and eland trip to Zimbabwe. While I am absolutely chuffed for all of these departure notes, it is also a painful type of torture. Everybody be safe, have a ton of fun and shoot straight. Pictures and reports are our just reward.

And my wife has also suggested that I am trying to exit our marriage by death with my Africa trips...and I've only even been once. Im really hoping she doesn't Google "black death".
