Old Safari Gear List

[Bearbait1]

Awhile back someone asked for a list of what gear and food went along on a safari of bygone days. I cant find the post now but ive found a book from around 1910 that lists everything they took along, what all the natives did that they hired and lots of other logistics that other authors omit. The book is “IN AFRICA Hunting Adventures In Big Game Country” by John T. McCutcheon. The book is probably available as an ebook through your local library.

It has kept my interest for 100 pages.

A couple pages in and it's pretty solid so far, thanks for the link.
