Great job on everything, what a fantastic looking set. The video is perfect.
I appreciate the obvious effort you put into these.

Thank you Saeed.

PS, loved the sound capture on your first buffalo. It's bellowing was exciting to hear.

It is quite exciting to watch these DVD's.
If the quality was any higher I could not appreciate it.
It is great to be able to play it as a regular DVD from a Sony player.
My HD TV may be only a 40-incher, but I have a Bose sound system hooked up to it, and I sit in a swivel chair 5 feet from the screen.
It is like being there.
The entire room vibrates with the woofers.
You see it, hear it, and even feel it ... like being on safari ... just can't smell it.


I would sit closer to the screen, if the barrel of my .375/404JS was a little shorter.
Dry fire practice at targets in the videos,
yep, almost like being there.

My kids have bigger screens and popcorn and will be offered a screening ...

Thanks Saeed!

Walter was here yesterday afternoon.

He does not like sugar in his coffee, because he says sugar is not good for him. He could not find the saccareen or whetever it is called now.

"Typical! Anything I want is not here"
"What do you want now?"
"There is no sugerless sweet here"

"Why don't you just use sugar instead. It is better for you than that horrible stuff"

"The doctor said I should not eat sugar"

He had already cut himself two large wedges of a cake my wife made. He had these on his large plate, plus an assorted small cookies.

"If the doctor said you should not eat any sugar, why are you eating all that cake and cookies?"

"You don't listen, do you? The doctor said I should not eat SUGAR. He did not say I should not eat cake and cookies"

Walter always has an answer.

"Who is coming with us hunting this year?"

"Ahh, this year we are going to have some fun. The friend who is coming with us is not too impressed with your antics on safari. He promised to make life miserable for you there"

"You mean more than you and Roy try to do? I need someone nice to counteract you two. Last year was my friend Chris. He is so nice and kind. I don't mind sharing a tent with him again"

"He is not coming. Someone else is coming. He is a very big man. And he said he has no problem keeping you in your place"

"I like Nelson too. But he snores too much"

"Well, that tent must have been quite exciting at night. With Nelson's snoring and your farting!"

"How about my friend Ron? I don't mind sharing a tent with again"

"You are forgetting one basic fact. Have you ever wondered if any of these would like to share a tent with you again?"

"They have no choice. And another condition is they cannot eat my chocolate. The chocolate the ants ate last year"

"Chris was very impressed with those Selous ants last. He said he had never seen ants that seem to eat about 2 inches of your extra large Tobleron each day. Very considerate those ants were ha?"

"Hmm. May be I should not share my tent with a spy again then"

Hë finished his cake and cookies by now.

"Are you going to have more cake?"

"No, no. It is not good to eat too much sugar"

"Why don't you remember that before you eat all that cake?"

"It is all Hanna's fault. She should not make such delicious cakes and cookies. And if I did not eat them, they will be wasted as you don't eat them"

"I know. The doctor told me sugar is no good too"

"Hasn't the doctor told you to sit still for a minute? You are always running around. You don't have time to sit and enjoy something as delicious as this cake. I think I will have another piece. Or Hanna might notice that it has not been eaten, and she won't make it again"

Canuck,
I thought about the temperature aspect of the virtual experience, but I refuse to set up the TV in a sauna!
I probably would have been as prostrate as Walter in that kind of heat.

Expecting -13 C here tonight (+9 F).
In Jan. 1994 we got down to -38 C in Kentucky, or -37 F, IIRC, just a brief cold snap. A few weeks before that, we had a -34 C (-29 F) overnight low.

-40 C = -40 F: Too cold to hunt.
+40 C = +104 F: Too hot for some of us to hunt, and live to tell of it.

We shot 4 caribou and they were all frozen solid before we could get them to the truck. I have also hunted deer in -35 to -38 a few times....and after this trip to the Selous, I can unequivocally say that I'll take +40 over -40 if I have to choose one!
