    Following on my post in re more traditional firearms and modern ones... figured I ought to toss this grouping into the mix.

    Show us your Guns!

    Some of the more modern designs are interesting, especially when it comes to the 'little black rifle'. Yet I tend to loose interest in most civilian firearms made after WWII and military firearms post Vietnam. Lots and lots of people out there are really into futuristic looking firearms, but...

    Here are my favorite vintage rifles. Most are from WWI. In the first couple of pics are the two that go best with my '63 SIIa 88 to give it that vintage safari look - a Savage 99 and an SMLE Mk III*. The 3rd pic (sorry, not the best, lighting wasn't good), from top to bottom: French 1892...

    Bush Jackets

    Personally I don't have an issue with hunting, I grew up hunting and still go at times. I'm a firm believer in hunting only those things you will eat and only take the amount you need. I do not agree with hunting just for trophies, I think it's wrong. When it comes to the types of animals...

    Bush Jackets

    The Southern White rhino and the Black rhino are allowed to be hunted as a trophy in South Africa and Namibia. Only 5 Black rhinos are allowed per year and the Southern White fluctuates. Only males are allowed to be hunted and they must meet certain criteria. First are biological principles...

    Bush Jackets

    LOL I was in Grade school and Jr. High during the '70s. Other than footwear, the only thing that comes to mind when I think about suede is disco, 1970s crime dramas and cheesey porn stars!!! However... my newest bush jacket has suede chest pads and elbow patches and it was worn in the '60s...

    Classic Safari vehicles!

    Grover, my '63 SIIa 88 Station Wagon is finally drivable. He's undergoing his sea trials to work out a couple mechanical issues and then we'll start on the final kitting out. The sidewalls and tropical top are starting the rebuild phase and will be ready by fall - hopefully. The plan is to...

    Bush Jackets

    Recently added this bush jacket to the adventurers closet. Purchased it from a lady who said her father wore it while in South Africa and East Africa during the late '60s & early '70s. He worked with some company that showed visiting dignitaries around. She said it was "appropriate" to wear...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Today is a day for the '65 Akubra slouch.

    Akubra Stockman

    First off - I wanted this slouch as a hat to be worn and used while working outside and for various outdoor excursions - not as a "stepping out" hat. I've read that these hats only develop their true character through use and they were designed for rough ware. So the intent has always been to...

    Update.... Just bought the slouch hat I've been eying. Picked it up for less than $50.

    Akubra Stockman

    I have found a 50+ year old Akubra slouch in mint condition, complete with the 7 pleated puggaree, that is in my size. If SWMBO gives a nod in its favor I'll buy it tonight. I'll just wear it un-pinned like the do in the field. I guess I should consider myself lucky that Akubra hats are even...

    Akubra Stockman

    Thanks Doctor Strang. I'll take a closer look at the links you sent. They are a bit pricey. What are your thoughts on an Akubra slouch hat?

    Akubra Stockman

    I'm trying to find something along the lines of the hat worn by Val Kilmer's "The Ghost and the Darkness". Perhaps even the one worn by Patrick Swayze in "King Solomon's Mines" or the one Robert Redford wore in "Out of Africa".

    Akubra Stockman

    Sorry, I'm new to "hat jargon" so please bear with me. Are you meaning the style you see in the Akubra slouch hat made popular with the Austrailian military? Do you have a picture of the type of hat your talking about? I have been looking at the various Akubra hats as well as the classic...

    Akubra Stockman

    What do all y'all think about the Akubra Stockman? I have a small head (54cm - 6 3/4) and it can be incredibly hard to find "off the shelf" hats that fit - typically I can't. Other than a Fedora that's 30 years old I don't have a hat that could be considered a "classic safari" hat. However...

    I agree about the paving vs non-paving. In our area the roads that get paved are done as cheaply as possible and end up worse IMHO. The main reason the two are getting paved here is flooding. They are going to be built up first and then paved. It's that cheep kind where they use old paving from...
