    Interesting discovery. I'll keep that in mind.

    In other words, "100% dog"? :p

    Classic Safari vehicles!

    When I was in college living in the married students' quarters there was a couple around the corner who were car collectors. Among other treasures (you wouldn't believe!) they owned a genuine WWII ammunition wagon, the original 'GP'. Would that make a great safari car? I mean!

    Bush Jackets

    Ah, the 9.3x62! As fine a caliber as has ever been largely ignored on this side of the pond. And a great pity, too. CZ is the only readily available company that provides that chambering. I had one once and it was a genuine pocket rocket! However, I had (and have) three other rifles in...

    Bush Jackets

    With boxes carried on their heads! And don't forget the requisite double rifle in some caliber over .400. Only cheapskates like me carry bolt guns on safari. Of course should I ever be able to afford a double rifle . . .

    As a midrange Asperger's I can relate. I always got on better with animals and small children than I did with people my own age. Hard thing to grow out of but it can are done. Admittedly I still have a huge fondness for dogs and little kids . . .

    Any one like Flying Boats?

    As I said before, if I ever hit the jackpot . . .

    If your concealed carry gun had to be a revolver (and I am inclined that way) you'd be hard pressed to find a better one than that!

    Bush Jackets

    And so we find another excellent set of (expensive) choices in safari jackets. Die, Workwear brings our attention to Grenfill, the original cloth from which so many safari jackets were made. Oh, glorious day, that we should see the rebirth of fine adventure wear so many years after the...

    My new old Anorak from LL Bean

    Choice! Though I wear modern synthetics I really don't trust them the way I trust wool and waxed cotton. Nice find.

    Ooo, Hitlerjugend training rifle? I'll bet there aren't a lot of them floating around.

    Catahoulas are trail hounds aren't they? Those are some pretty puppies, sure enough. I've never seen one in the flesh. I guess that's what I get for living on the PacCoast.

    After 15 years of being the most affectionate dog I ever owned, my dear Pepper passed away Sunday afternoon. She's gone to take care of Mommy until I join them on the other side. Rest in peace my beloved, firey little terrorier.

    Yeah, some of us just can't ever get over our love for wheel guns. Semi-autos have their place but give me a vintage Colt or a good K to L frame Smith and I'll just grin for a week.

    Marines, like Army Rangers, are essential to the conduct of modern warfare. However, upon reaching a certain age, one should no longer want to be one!

    My only real Mauser is a compilation of bits I had my smith cobble together, cursing all the way he was. Difficult as the building was, there result is a piratical wonder, a 6.5x55 that shoots into a quarter inch when I do my part. I really need to get into some good black/whitetail hunting...

    That's one hunt I've long wanted to get in on. Whether it will ever happen . . .

    Safari Express rifle pic thread

    Yeah, I had a possibly late contact in the Bristol area and he told me about the escapes and idiot releases. You are absolutely right. Without wolves and bears (and maybe even with them if Germany, Italy and France are any example) pigs become a major agricultural nuisance. And the silly...
