I know burning grass and rejuvenating the countryside is common in many parts of Africa. Sadly This fire seems more like the terrible wildfires Americans and Australians are much too familiar with. Cape town and surrounding areas burdened by drought and the fires that follow drought. Hope for the best for our friends there and the land and animals we all enjoy so much.

As someone who has lived in California and dealt with fires and evacuations all I can say is be safe!
 
They don’t have wildfires as we know them. Many reasons but it is different. Hope it’s slows down.

Let's see, there is the South African variant of COVID. So this wildfire near Cape Town sure looks like the California variant of wildfire.
 
Stellenbosch is a beautiful area- "The Napa Valley of South Africa." Went on a wine tasting spree there one day. Very sorry to hear about the devastating fires.
 
We hate to see any damaging and dangerous fires but its still relatively small. We burn millions of acres in the states in fire season. California alone burned 2.2 million acres last year.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
