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?

I am 56 years old, I got tattooed back in the 1980’s when it wasn’t a trendy thing to do, they got a bunch if negative attention back in the day but I thrived on being rebellious. Over the years I changed my way of thinking and they have been a huge burden to me, yes they are more accepted...

Yeah. Timing is everything as I sit here in my hotel in Ciudad Victoria for the past week and a week to go…lol. I also work for an NGO usually in Africa but we have a project here currently. I leave Friday for a drive to the airport in Monterey back to Colorado,,, but will be back here...

Since I am not doing Dallas (Atlanta) this year and all my hunts are booked, I might scoot up to Denver and check it out.

Actual video full video- not pleasant to watch https://www.instagram.com/gossips24tv/reel/C8k_KSzCg-1/?hl=en

On a side note, does anyone know the exact location of his grave in Eastern Malawi? I work on and off in the area and have asked locals over and over and they give me a blank stare. I tried to find the location based off of Capsticks book where he semi describes how to get there to no avail...

I test drove one and seriously considered it, but too many electrical nannys, (which isn't their fault but US regulations) I hate my car to turn off at lights, I hate all the lights and sounds when merging into traffic, or for the car to brake if I am coming onto something a bit faster...

Your actually not too far from me, and I work often in the Tyler area... Sounds great!

Love these ideas and pictures, I purchased a small house in Texas to use as an office and wanted to go Colonial British style, like some of the pics in this thread I tracked down dark woods in furnishings, I went with the Hemingway edition furniture but regret it slightly as my house is very...
