You'd better bring your winter woolies. We're having the coldest winter (in my area at least) that we've had for at least ten years. In short, it's BLOODY FREEZING!!!!!!!! Even my damn banana trees look like they've kicked the bucket!  I strongly recommend thick jackets, gloves and a good hat.............Otherwise you guys are die of hypothermia on the back of those hunting trucks!! If it's that bad here, just think what the Botswana nights are gonna be like.  | ||

A friend of mine just got back from the Limppo region. He said 2 mornings there was ice along the edges of the water holes. I cant wait. Its 95 with 90% humidity here. 18 days!!!!!! I have walked in the foot prints of the elephant, listened to lion roar and met the buffalo on his turf. I shall never be the same. | |||

Walter, It's a lovely area huh...... but you should have dropped into White river for a coffee on your way back. Brett, Mate, never, ever in a MILLION years would you ever get me to put even a toe out of doors in that kind of climate!  My blood has been too thin for too long to tolerate that kind of shit without dying! | |||

jeff h The best I can do for you is this: http://www.shakariconnection.com/weather1.html but Balla Balla might be able to help you further......... should be getting warmer by then though (I think!) Lorenzo, As far as I'm concerned the right place for ice is in a glass...... I know what you mean though. Peter, Damn, it's gonna be cold there........but I guess you'll be used to it huh. As a general comment, at 0600 today it was .5C and the grass was covered with a heavy frost! Eish...... | |||

I've done -20s and -30, but -50 or -60 is just freaking cold!!!!!! That said it's 11:32pm here and it's 60 some degrees F. Maybe you should stop up here to warm up.

Jaco How anyone can drink that OBS, I'll never know! I bought a bottle of it to try when I came out here to live 10 years ago and it's still in damn cupboard! Deerdogs Wish I could join you for the game...... we might even win now that animal Burger is out of the running. I'm suprised he hasn't crippled some poor bugger the way the ignores the rules. I'd guess it's only a matter of time before he does. Have a good hunt and don't forget to pack your cold weather gear! | |||

[QUOTE]Originally posted by shakari: Jaco How anyone can drink that OBS, I'll never know! I bought a bottle of it to try when I came out here to live 10 years ago and it's still in damn cupboard! The trick is to pour 10 shots, then you throw out the 1st one and the last one. The reason, the first one tastes like SH@T and the last one gives you a hangover  Life is how you spend the time between hunting trips. Through Responsible Sustainable hunting we serve Conservation.
