Pith helmets...

Oh if I was you I'd put on a pair of plaid short pants, a flowered shirt with the helmet and head to the nearest mall.

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Does anyone actually still where one in Africa? I have one of my granddadds floating around you see but don't wanna look too much like an idiot!

Own it and make it yours!! I seriously thought about it too as a lark but the droll look I got when I suggested it made me reconsider it. BTW, sadly, I did not see one over there.:LOL:
 
Now for a larger rifle and the look is complete!

I live in a little one-horse town with all kind of characters. One ELDERLY gentleman here wears khaki shorts with a long sleeve khaki shirt with a pith helmet that makes up his Uniform of the Day.

You'd fit right in.
 
Hmmm. GC's not the easiest thing to warm up to. But if he does take to you, it's a very good experience. You would probably be welcomed. His son is a retired Nuclear Sub Captain.

But wear sandals with black dress socks
 
Well at least you're NOT a Flip-Flops man. And probably don't drag your feet either.

Sandals / flip flops....either way, but the black sox finish the fashion statement
 
Don't forget a cardigan sweater and an old wide striped tie. Even better if the black socks have suspenders. How's that for a mental picture??
 
My old man used to have some comment about someone wearing a Jockey Strap and Hip Boots! Now there's you a mental picture.
 
Only guy I have ever seen wear a pith helmet to Africa was a blackpowder writer, named Rick Hacker. He did a double barrel BP hunt in Zim years ago and wore one. The last guy before him was probably Teddy Roosevelt.:LOL::D:eek::oops::rolleyes:o_O
 
My dad's foul weather gear consisted of his "Frank Buck hat" and a yellow slicker. That was his rainy day bass fishing outfit for years, wish I had a picture of him in it. I should have saved the old hat for a keepsake. Would I have ever worn it..........Hell No!
 
Wear it and be proud. Remember your paying a lot of money to enjoy yourself!
 
potting soil and water and it will grow anything you want to plant.but dont wear it,ha,ha,ha,

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
