that's fine. start your own thread and be the resident idiot. if you re-read my earlier posts, i never said that Ruarke didn't get drunk on his hunting trips. for sure he drank too much in the evening. but i don't recall him saying he got drunk while out during the day.....

Ruark clearly states he severely depleted the contents of a Gin bottle during the middle of day. Ruark was a full-time practicing chronic alcoholic who got heavily plastered every day on Safari. If you had someone just like that in camp,..at what point would you trust them to handle a loaded firearm? Craptick needing a few belts of alcohol first thing so he could haphazardly function as they filmed him for the day, is just as sad. | |||

well said. i have an innate distrust of people who won't post where they live in general terms, much less their name. as Mike posted earlier, this guy has never been there, done that- and has no credibility. but he does make George look smart, which is no mean feat!

Sweat blood?. & drink muddy water?...how f**ck*n Hilarious.... , please enough of the highly imaginative melodramatics. Ruark did nothing of the sort. Ruark writes that he struggled till about midday on a 'hard' mornings hunt, before leisurely being driven back to camp to quickly consume more copious amounts of Gin, before sitting down to lunch. NO Blood-sweat or muddy-track water for him,..instead just clear cool mind-numbing Firewater. He pretty much lead the charmed-life,..the part that ever worked or suffered the most in him, was his poor innocent liver. | |||

100% true, I have never shot a hunting party member, nor got totally drunk each day when away hunting or every other day of my life for that matter. For those who have, it sure sounds like quite a personal achievement. | |||

and when was the last time you hunted in Africa? oh, that's right- NEVER! the day i can't enjoy a sundowner around the fire in the evening is the day i quit hunting. thank God the moral majority is a uniquely American phenomenon.

OH, I forgot Africa has all the 'toughest' animals that are apparently 'harder' to kill than any other animal in the world....and all that 'hard work' in Africa apparently justifies ones choice to be a practicing chronic alcoholic, each and everyday on safari for weeks or months on end. Africa is also a place where a careless client can shoot someone and escape the liability and legal ramifications he would otherwise face for irresponsibly doing so in a Western-World country.
NO one is suggesting you should not sensibly and moderately, enjoy such a casual relaxing drink. Ruark & Craptick, the chronic alcoholics they were, could not wait till the evening-end of the day, nor were they sensible and moderate in their consumption. They got to consuming the contents of a bottle of alcohol from morning or midday, well before the hunting day was over, or in some poor practices, even before hunting for the day had even started. IF you had an alcohol dependent PH or clients, like that in your camp, at what point would you trust them with a loaded firearm? | |||

505 gibbs riding to the rescue of Trax who is lambasting a dead man of many decades over his alcoholism on a thread about Shootaway ignoring his PH and shooting a cow. This thread reminds me of the bird that flew in ever decreasing concentric circles until it flew right up its own ass. Mike | |||

Curious, what medical condition would cause you to "sweat blood"? And why in the world would you drink "water from a muddy track"? What was your PH's reaction when he saw you doing this? | |||

You drink from a hoof print because you are dehydrated and thirsty. It is not that uncommon right after a rain.

Um, to 'sweat blood' or 'sweating blood' is actually an informal manner of speaking, not meant to be taken literally. It is a saying used to describe being under intense strain. | |||

I forget the movie, one of John Wayne's I believe, maybe not, but to the best of my memory the line goes something like this. "If I Ever Meet One Of These Texas Waddies That DOESN'T Claim He Has Drink Out Of A Muddy Cow Track, I Will Buy Him A Beer"! Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||

You can be sure John Wayne and his writers were full of piss. The term waddie is not found in the Texas vocabulary.

That was in TRUE GRIT! The phrase Sweating blood is as described above by David.
The drinking from a cow track is only an old cowboy saying meant to imply that in many western cattle drives cowboys had to cross miles of country when water holes were dry, and even dirty water found in tracks or depressions in the rocks were life savers, and one could TALK but if they had not walked the walk he didn't know what he was talking about. Hence the saying "if you haven't sweated blood, or drank dirty water from a cow track" you haven't walk the walk! Neither saying was meant to be taken literally. It is simply an old cowboy saying from the cattle drive days, nothing more, and any cowboy knows what is meant by it! ........................................................................................ ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith | |||

Thanks Mac and you also 4759. This whole conversation has became so convoluted and off topic, that it almost isn't funny anymore. We have went from chastising someone that does not believe that he was the least bit at fault, to a discourse about Texas phrases as portrayed by Hollywood. I am surprised that it has not angled off all that much about Capstick or Mark Sullivan or Blair Worldwide Outfitting! Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||

Clearly Ruark could not handle his obsession with & abuse of alcohol. as your mythical African hero status, Ruark, died from alcohol induced chronic liver failure. You must be so proud of him. If Ruark had drunk muddy rain water, instead of thousands & thousands of 'Dirty Martini' firewaters, He could have enjoyed a much longer life of the outdoors & hunting.
Sean Russell it seems bases his perspective of life on: 1./ Alcoholic spin artists like Ruark,Hemingway and Craptick. 2./ crapola Cowboy 'sweat blood' phrases from Hollywood. -nuff said....unless his favourite cowboy movie is 'Brokeback Mountain'. | |||

It is claimed by some,that Jesus of Nazareth sweat blood in the garden of Gethsemane. Luke 22:44 'And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.' However it does not directly say that Jesus sweat blood. It could simply be description of how rapidly beading sweat fell in the same way,that drops of blood would, from a person. Medically: “Hematidrosis” is a rare medical condition where one’s sweat will contain blood. The sweat glands are surrounded by tiny blood vessels. These vessels can constrict and then dilate to the point of rupture where the blood will then effuse into the sweat glands. However,most people facing imminent death or very stressful life threatening circumstances, never ever release blood with sweat. Some people just have a much lower tolerance-ability to cope with high stress situations, and the body can react adversely. Its a rare unique body reaction, but that does not mean the stimuli that cause it,to be any more extreme or exceptional to what others have faced - and not released blood through their sweat glands. Just because a very ultra-rare few people have released blood with their sweat, does not necessarily make the life experience which triggered it, any more special or noteworthy. Maybe Sean Russell can share with the forum, the situation or circumstance, that he believes caused him to release blood with his sweat.... | |||
