    Campaign Bed

    Really quite ingenious! Well done, that man. If I were young enough to be thinking of camping that rough I would definitely be out in the backyard cobbling such a set-up together.

    Campaign Bed

    Can't deal with hammocks for anything more than an afternoon siesta. The old back just doesn't curve up the way it used to.

    Hopefully my wife will recover enough to be able to fly again. I so want to take her to Thailand to see the orchid farms, eat Thai food and take an elephant back ride into the national park by Changmai.

    Vintage Hunting Clothes

    The vest and trousers are new but the jacket is 'previously owned' and the shotgun is from 1909.

    I especially admire the baby airstream.

    I know it's kind of down market in some folks' view, but I really appreciate a sling on a double gun. When I had my pointer I'd carry the gun broken and upside down slung off my left shoulder and hold two shells in my right hand. When Cookie went on point all I had to do was roll the Browning...

    Campaign Bed

    Aye, it would need a pretty good mattress to be useable. Maybe it's kept rolled up inside the trunk section?

    Understood. I feel the same way about old pickup trucks and teardrop trailers.

    The RV of My Dreams

    I don't know whether I want or have any use for a Kuebelwagon but I could definitely find something for Sabrine to do . . .

    The RV of My Dreams

    Naturally, it would take some care in route choice. S. Africa through Kenya should be pretty safe, as would a western route sticking to the coast once you get north of Angola. The sticking points on the east side would be getting through Sudan to Egypt---and trying to go up the center across...

    The RV of My Dreams

    After my first safari we took the night train to Vic Falls and while we were there we took a driving tour of Hwangi Nat'l Park. While we were parked at a waterhole watching gigantic crocodiles sunbathe this vehicle drove up next to us. It was a MB Unimog motorhome. The owners said that...

    The RV of My Dreams

    And of course you will want a fully reconditioned Land Rover Defender to pull it across the veldt. I like the fact that you don't sleep down on the ground with the lions. Yes, I know they can jump but people who camp in Africa a lot all have trailers with tents on top. Surely there's a good...

    The RV of My Dreams

    My own RV desires are much more modest. For some reason my wife and I are both enamored with teardrop trailers. This particular model is made within forty minutes of my home (traffic willing, of course) and comes with an amazing variety of options. Again, I have no connection, etc., etc. But...

    The Great Wall as we see it today, even the non-touristy part Blackthorn was able to sneak up on, is a later version. The first wasn't even 'a' great wall but a collection of walls put up by various kingdoms to act as both a barrier against the northern horse nomads and each other. They were...

    Mattie, I never knew anyone who went to Africa who didn't scheme and connive their way back again. The place is addictive!
