    Africa...when will you be priced out??

    Earlier someone posted As an outfitter, Why take 20 hunters a year at 5 to $6k vs 10 at 10 to $15k or 5 at $20k etc. Those that can afford the higher cost may prefer this to happen. Statistics would suggest more and better quality animals for the remaining hunters. In addition, I ask... As...

    Your Top 5 Animals from North America

    I have been fortunate to hunt some cool animals in some great places. Unfortunately, non-resident tags to hunt a decent representative (not trophy) of a species have risen to stupid levels. That being said, my list hasn't changed in over 15 years. Rocky Mt. bighorn BIG mule deer Newfoundland...

    Brilliant! Practice For A Charging Buffalo

    I can't find the name off hand, but there is a dangerous game training range in the US. $$$ Granted, not the same as a real animal, but better than just bench/range shooting

    Brilliant! Practice For A Charging Buffalo

    internet search for "how fast are RC cars?" RC cars can reach speeds ranging from 20 mph for beginners to over 100 mph for high-performance models. The fastest RC cars can exceed 300 km/h (186 mph), but most hobbyist models typically range between 30 to 150 km/h (20 to 93 mph).

    common Speed Ranges by Type Brushed Electric: 30–60 km/h (19–37 mph). Brushless Electric: 60–100+ km/h (37–62+ mph). Looks doable,. The bracket might take some work. Just don't shoot low.

    Ammo belt holder

    Just to sidetrack a bit... for those who have used culling belts and cartridge slides... What are your thoughts on butt stock cartridge holders? They never seem to be recommended, but would seem faster access.

    There are many things I didn't like from my first safari. However; being a member of this forum and reading others posts over the last 4 1/2 years has made me want to try again.

    Electrolyte Powders to take along

    While I agree in theory, I've been told, by the time you feel thirst you are already getting dehydrated. In addition, you can get dehydrated in cold temps as well where you won't be leaking sweat. Be safe.

    Electrolyte Powders to take along

    True, artificial sweeteners are a long term unknown. Sugar is a good add for a short boost of energy. Guess it depends on what you're doing as to what is needed.

    Electrolyte Powders to take along

    Milk does have Potassium, Calcium, Zinc and Phosphorus, four electrolytes in addition to its other vitamins and minerals so this makes sense.

    Electrolyte Powders to take along

    Instructions on packets I have -- All Adult dosages Liquid IV = 1 per day Force Factor = 1 per day Sports Research = 1-3 a day Wilderness Athlete = To be consumed before, during, or after physical activity, as needed Since LMNT has 46% DV sodium I'd guess they are 1 per day also
