Very nice, we live in Colorado as well but moved all my books down to our Texas home,

I second the Hemingway collection, I furnished my whole house with this collection by searching used on marketplace. It’s classy and very Africanesque…

RIP

Great sticker, Here is me last week looking a little weathered as its been a thought week with temp and humidity never below 98F the whole time, Along the Mapuera River ( a northern tributary of the Amazon) while I was doing a census of the Wai Wai tribe…. As the first guest in the village...

Zim side or Zambia?

I did, but had a question about future use of the stories with no response.., anyway looks like you have a lot of stories and doing well, which is great! Cheers J

Welcome, How close are you to downtown Rosebud? I own a small house there I keep my Africa books and artifacts and spend about a month a year there to unwind, Jason

Some of these photos are awesome, I like candid shots personally, while hunting back in April I kept asking the trackers and PH to please stop posing the animal and using the angle where the animal looks huge in the foreground, just looks cheesy to me, (personal opinion of course)

I sent a message about submitting some of my hundreds of written short stories to Field Ethos but haven’t heard back. My concern is I want to be able to use my stories in the future and don’t want to give up my rights to do so..

I’ve hunted with a Bushmen's Quiver but never with Bushman’s Quiver ;-)

Where could one learn a bit more about the backstory? I am writing on modern day Man Killers and want to learn if there any more facts pertaining to this situation.

There are literally tons of threads on this topic right now, Do a quick search. Go and have fun

Yes, He is up there in years in San Diego if I recall- one of the last

I work for the non profit world in Africa, Have for 20 years, I have worked with hundreds of NGOs and I am not exaggerating when I say that 99% of of money if not closely watched or have some western control will be squandered. I can give many many many many many examples.

If Kenya would smartly open hunting again they could name their price! It could be a million dollar hunt and people would book up. Just for the nostalgic experience. Imagine hunting the Mara, or Tsavo, or the highlands. One could dream

Ugh. Paragraphs. thanks for sharing..

By the way Mr. Faucett welcome to AH!!

Super cool rifle and I am a Martin and OSA Johnson fan however they were hypocritical when it came to hunting, they wouldn’t hesitate to shoot a provoked animal into charging for the “cinema” but bashed big game hunters. She also trophy hunted as well although made it clear it was in “self...

By the way, Lufthansa is now requiring you have a E visa (Visa on arrival) or Holiday Visa printed and in possession, they are denying people boarding to Windhoek from Frankfurt without a physical visa or E visa. Some folks are stranded trying to get their E visa done online but the backup...

I leave Namibia Friday for South Africa (Instead of Zambia as planned). Only problem I had with entry was it took 3 hours. I had all my paperwork printed and they asked for none of it, Just looked at the form and stamped me in. Beautiful in Namibia right now with all the rain they have had...

Plan on three hours getting through immigration- It’s a pain

As well as the shooter ;-)

Yes it is, I like it a lot. Last year I purchased its twin here in in the States and use it regularly.

You’re right, It’s a mess. Would be kind of fun to head west and up through Morocco

Would love too!

I am not sure, I would like to get a bit closer to Tanzania before storing the bike but really want it to be secure as I have had issues in the past of stuff stolen. However I am flying out of Lusaka so however far north I get I will have to hire a ride back down…. May wind up just...

The KLR’s plastic fairing on the first leg due to bumpy gravel roads began literally to fall off, I secured it down with locking nuts and its holding up better, Also due to vibration the fuel tank rubbed against a frame bolt and caused a leak stranding me close to Mariental Namibia, a few...

Resurrecting this old post, I head out next week for third part of my trip. I am also looking for a place in Northern Zambia to stash my bike for a while if anyone has any leads. Anyway I didn’t make it as far as I thought because I wanted to slow down and enjoy the ride and see more of...

I am not too worried as I can get one on arrival, just wanted to work through the new system, its a pain, especially because I am leaving overland through Zambia so no return ticket.

I’m going through the process right now, been days and all it says is successfully applied on the website. I arrive next Tuesday.

OH MY! Check out the markings on the stock! What an amazing rifle with amazing history

I arrive in Namibia on the 8th. But leave overland into Zambia, wonder if that’s going to create an issue,

I think it depends on if this is a “once in a lifetime” trip or not, I haven’t carried a camera to Africa in years and my new iPhone camera is awesome and good enough. I used to load two huge pelican cases with stuff, now I can go two to three weeks with a small backpack or carry on…. Just...

Actually it came from Pennsylvania, I have owned it about 20 years. Runs about half the time :-)

Hmmm. The original poster is also from Colorado Springs, I have posted before but I collect Italian cars and motorcycles…. But lately have been enjoying a 68 Volvo 1800…. I have a 100 year old grocery store I converted into a garage. By the way I am always at Scottsdale auction week as well

I was seriously considering one but can’t handle all the electrical nanny’s, I mean over the top, will not engage in gear if a door is ajar, so no driving or backup up with a door open, speeding chime, car wont start without seatbelt latched and many other electrical things that would drive...

Interesting question, I am looking for the same

Pelican is the best, indestructible! I use an organizer for all my travel gear

Hey Chris, Welcome to AH, guess what? We are cousins ( a bit of a stretch).. Yep. Your wife is my cousins daughter…. Anyway reach out if you need anything, just got back from my 54th trip to Africa. The area you will be in I have been twice, once on my motorcycle trip. Safe travels. Jason

I fly them regularly from the states and around Africa, not my first, or second choice but safe and cheap usually. Typical Kenya attitude of slow inept service, they tend to keep it warm on the plane and usually run out of drinks and food. But they are friendly and did I say cheap? I...

Perhaps so, but not for me

The lead expeditions, wildlife / eco travel

I just got back a week ago, and as someone stated it was HOT! I mean real hot, I tend to hunt and fish alone or without an outfitter so went to an area I visited last June around Porto Trombetta, Lots of amazing fishing, Nights were brutal as we were roughing it in open hammocks and it...

I see you are in the springs, if you need anything please reach out…

Or if you are in Nairobi go to the Mara. Plenty to see in Kenya as well. Depending on what part of july I will be there as well. Look me up and I can take you flying around the Mara.

A hero of mine, I spent three afternoons searching for his grave in Nairobi, By day two even the local police who thought I was nuts digging around the old cemetery began helping me clean and locate his grave..

Wow seriously I come through Atlanta customs a lot and have not seen that…. With that said, I have heard they aren’t available in elephant anymore…. I purchased a pair in 1997 in Zimbabwe and believe it or not, still wear them and funny thing, have wore them to Kenya and back at least 20 times...

Which country are you wanting to hunt in?

Answered my own question. 23.5

What’s the barrel length?
