I think a pair of plastic underpants worn all day in the African heat will more than deter fire ants....

I'll never forget my first trip to Africa when I was bitten by a moth. Every dang thing bites.

As I listed on another post, I've found that BullFrog Mosquito Coast seems to work somewhat, but I guess that biting stuff in Africa is like our gnats in South Georgia. At least they keep most of the Yankees from moving down here. Big Grin

Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.




What I have learned on AR, since 2001:
1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken.
2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps.
3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges.
4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down.
5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine.
6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle.
7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions.
8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA.
9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not.
10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact.
11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores.
12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence.
13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances.

What about Buzz's "mankini" pictures? Where are they? I would think that would sell on a well done website. If it was "used", all the better.

That can of Anti-monkey Butt really comes in handy on real long motorcycle rides. I've got 50 k on my BMW R1200RT. Without the powder, it would be more like 1500. I live in southern Nevada and EVERYWHERE is 300 mile away.

Ha! Just picture me in those "naughty" panties. It's called the "Miracle Diet". It would be a miracle if you can keep food down for the next week.

Some things you just can't "un-see"

Go to the original post...

Just a reminder as we all start packing for safari...you need very little kit as the PH is well outfitted.

Save on the fancy custom safari clothes and shoot an extra plains game animal or 2

I have seen pics of people on this site during their African hunts in t shirts, tank tops, ball caps backward and various other attire not to mention some gosh ugly tattoos.

Sorry, Mike I like to see more people dressed in some of the clothes on your initial list. Call me old fashion I guess...
