Glad you got yours John.

I hope you enjoy our adventure.

Thank you Saeed!
I've now got the DVD´s that you sent me and I enjoyed looking at them very much.

Regards from Sweden

Opened the mailbox today & inside was a package just the right size to contain Saeeds DVD set. Turned out to be some crap my wife had ordered, started to lay it in the road & run over it.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am afriad I have some bad news, but hopefully the solution we found is not going to upset too many of you.

I am having a hard time getting quality Blue ray blank disks.

I got some, and had too many rejected by our duplicator.

So for those who have requested a BD version of our safari, I have encoded the films to WindowsMedia 1080p HD.

That means you can have the HD version, but you have to play it on your computer.

Whioch of course can be connected to your HD TV if you wish to do so.

Any of you who have requested the Bluray version who prefers to get a normal DVD please let me know.

If you don't, I will just go ahead and send you this version.

I am sorry about this mix up, which is completely out of our control.

My DVDs turned up this morning, already watched the 1st,some nice shooting.
Thanks again Saeed.

Saeed, I must thank you for these wonderful CDs you have sent me.

This time the videos are indeed voluminous and I and my friends and family will look forward to many pleasurable hours viewing them.

Thank you again.

Saeed,
I would not complain if it were on tape! Your videos are great. Please send whatever is easiest for you...and thanks again.
Max

I just wonder what you and your friends were thinking as you watched us sweat in that heat while you are indoors to avoid the reezing cold outside

I can tell you Saeed, we were wishing we were there as well! We were also laughing so hard at the successfully defended bee hive assault and the leopard tracking episode.
We made it thru 3 discs last night, GREAT stuff!
Thanks again kind Sir!

Wow! You must have been enjoying it if you sat through 6 hours!

Saeed, many thanks, sir!

The package arrived today, case crushed as mentioned by others but discs in great shape. My wife was laughing at the cover photo of a hunter clad in shorts...the temperature this morning when I went to the PO Box was -39C, windchill -49C. Roughly 60cm of snow on the ground. No shorts around here!

I look forward to watching them...this will be more time spent in front of the TV than in the last year or two combined.

Again, thank you!

John

Just arrived today. In about 2 minutes I am going to put the first disk on the tube and get the juices flowing for Reno (flight out is tomorrow). Thanks!

We were in France in the Alps last month, and at the top the tem[rature was said to be around -26C with the wind factor in.

I did not feel a thing, as I was covered from head to toe with ski clothes.

Let me see if I can find a photo and post it.

I have received my discs. The kids and I are working our way through disc 1. Good stuff so far!

Just received mine today, can't wait to watch them.
Thanks again Saeed

I received mine yesterday and have already watched the first 4 and they are great!

Thank you very much for your generosity Saeed!

I got mine fairly quick, considering it went across the world. I like the raw, unedited feel of the hunt. Thanks a bunch.

Ours arrived today and we are watching them now. Look forward to this every year. Thank you again Saeed!
Mike & Linda

Received mine in NY. Can't wait to watch them and see that which I read in your reports. Thanks for your generosity!

Shoot'em

Yes, it is Hero3 and we took some great video footage.

In fact, I had a spare battery, and took several hours of video every day.

i bought a GoPro last month. haven't used it yet except around the house a bit to get used to it, but it is going to Costa Rica next month fishing and Namibia in November. hope it works as advertised. i put my name on the DVD list early on, but no luck so far. really looking forward to watching the experts make fun of each other!

Sorry for the delay in some of you getting their DVDs.

Still waiting on blanks, which I understand are on the way.

The Gopro is great for short range video, and scenery with its very wide angle lense.

It is no good for hunting at all, so don'r forget to take a good video camera, as well as a good still camera.

For a pocket camera, I highly recommend either of these. Canon SX260HS, Panasonic TZ30.

For a better alround camera, but not pocktable, I recommend the Panasonic FZ200, or the slightly cheaper FZ150.

By the way, all the above cameras take decent HD video, but not as good as a dedicated video camera for hunting.

Saeed,

I just received mine. Thank you so much for taking the time to put the original together and then copy/burn night and day, for us. I'm going to start into them tomorrow.

Thanks again

Today was a double +. I had the pleasure of meeting the Vincent folks at SCI -- such gentlemen. Then I discovered the postman had delivered the DVDs. Not sure what war zone the packages went through as the cases were pretty well shattered. The discs appear to be intact and I'll start playing them tomorrow.

Thanks, Saeed, for this massive effort to share your experiences with us.

Can't wait for mine. Best video out there.
