Being a nurse, when I went on my first Africa trip this last June, this was one of the first questions I asked. Are there snakes, how likely am I to get bitten, and how far is the nearest hospital if I get bit. That being said, I didn't see 1 snake the entire trip (thank the Lord!) and we went...

Welcome to the family! My husband and I live in Middle Tennessee. Glad there are more people in our area learning about this great resource.

Welcome to the family! I am the previously mentioned wife of @WFet . I see that you mentioned you would be bringing your family with you! It's an excellent family trip idea. I went on my first African hunt with my husband's family this past year and had a blast! As you dream and plan, feel free...

I have the good hat thing covered. That was a priority for my first trip back in June.

I never thought about the nitrile gloves! I am a nurse, so I have an ENDLESS supply of those at work. And, come to think of it, my hands always sweat when I wear them. I will definitely have to remember to take a handful of those next trip!!

I have recently become aware of these "glomitts". They will be the type of glove that I get if I ever decide to purchase some.

Under Armour ColdGear is well known to me, but I completely forgot about it until now. I used to wear it when I ran track in high school. Good to know about the loose-fitting part, though. It makes complete sense when I think about it.

I understood all of that! I think I'm getting smarter! :A Yeah:

Unfortunately, when I was in Africa this past June I learned that not all of Africa is warm. We were unexpectedly in the Free State and, being unprepared for the colder climate, I was not adequately dressed. Because of this experience, I am starting to prepare earlier in order to get the best...

I wish I could claim the eye bleach comment, but sadly that was not my genius. Unfortunately, I have bad circulation to my fingers (Raynaud's for the medically inclined), so they go numb when walking at even mild temperatures. I will most DEFINITELY be looking into the Cabela's items y'all...

I’m afraid to ask about this picture...

Is it bad that this sounds extremely entertaining? :ROFLMAO::p

I may have been accused of attempting to make my first African hunt a fashion show, but I wouldn't be caught DEAD in something like that. Thank goodness I do have a decent amount of self-respect.

Trying not to play this woman card too much, but I just have so many questions! After lots of internet searching and finding few answers, I have decided to use a lifeline and ask the audience. I get cold really easily, particularly my hands, so I am looking for a hunting jacket that will...

Hey y'all!! My husband, @WFet , and I live in Franklin, TN. Although we look forward to making the pilgrimage to Dallas and Reno/Vegas each January, we would love to be a part of a chapter that is closer to home. Does anyone have any information or is anyone a part of any groups/chapters in the...
