Snowbound, The particular boonie hat was never a specific unit's headgear in the US. Boonie hats are available in camo, green and khaki for hunting. Oh, and our specific hat was an OD green with fold-up sides and often referred to as a "cowboy" hat. Anyone care to guess who we were? .395 Family Member DRSS, po' boy member Political correctness is nothing but liberal enforced censorship | |||

Last trip my bush hat was lost with my luggage so I used my north fork technologies ball cap. Got sunburned as hell on my ears and neck. Last month in Russia, I bought a jungle green floppy cotton bush hat with snaps on the side for securing the brim in tight cover. Next trip over, it will be folded up in my carry on. | |||

No ball caps for me. Tilley or similar (cheaper)cabelas ventilated hat, medium brim, works for me when its hot and sunny as in most of africa | |||

While you might enjoy the TWA1 while hunting in the Eastern Cape in June or July, I think the standard T3 [ http://www.tilley.com/The-T3-C...x?id=10CD03HT0T32971 ] as more of a year-around option.! absorbs sweat brim snaps up in cover or on the back of the bakke floats packs flat on top of your suitcase replacement if worn out insured against loss a little spendy but you only ever need to buy one!

I always wear my boonie, inexpensive, comfortable, excellent protection for neck and ears, easily packable (ie. crushable). It doesn't matter if you are "ass dragging" across the savannah for buffalo,  hunting elephants in the jesse,  shooting a mess of fish for dinner,  or just out shooting squirrels to feed your newest, ummmm dog,  The boonie is always in style!

I am sure that SHE does, however for you, and those like you, that find themselves inclined to look "there" I believe that what you are actually seeing is a piece of the bright orange leash that she is sitting on.

I meant no offence. I just thought the likely un- intended timing of the photo showed a funny moment. If I annoyed you I'm sorry. As to my "inclination" to look towards a dog's genitals I'm guilty and I am hanging out with former N.Y. congressman Weiner this week. He likes to post pic's of his "red rocket" as we all know. Maybe one of the doctors here spec- ializes in my condition... D/R Hunter Correct bullet placement, combined with the required depth of bullet penetration, results in an anchored animal... | |||

I'll admit to having worn the ubiquitous and boring ball cap in Namibia a few years back. But the foreign service helmet would have been more stylish. It's pretty good at protecting ears and neck, fits close enough so as not be be snagged by thorns, and offers good air circulation. Only down side is when shooting from prone; it is best removed for this. Oh, and yes, it can be used for watering your camel.  There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

I prefer a ball cap or short brimmed hat like a fedora. I keep loosing my pimp feathers on thorns though. You can borrow money, but you can't borrow time. Don't wait, go now. Savannah Safaris Namibia Otjitambi Trails & Safaris DRSS NRA SCI DSC TSRA TMPA | |||

Bil and Charl, I'd stand for all the drinks just to sit down and listen to the two of you debate the issue. | |||

I do believe the next time I hunt Africa with a hammer gun be it a double or drilling I will have a Pith helmet for the occasion, eh. | |||
|
| One of Us |
I have to agree with Charl on the pith helmet. It's a British soldier thing, not an African hunter thing. I prefer something like the FCS model: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wi..._Selous_portrait.jpg As for the hat falling/blowing/getting knocked off; - any of you guys ever hear of a chin-strap (or is that too lame). | |||

Don't get to far from the bakkie if you wear that on your porcupine hunt. Someone like don hooker might try to put those horns on their wall. | |||

Charl, all kidding aside, my middle name is Baden and my last name is Powell, my favorite memoir is Burnett's "Scouting on Two Continents" and a knobkerry given to my wife's great grandfather by none other than Britain's chief imperialist, Cecil Rhodes, sits here in the office, but I have read very widely on the Boer Wars and have nothing but the deepest respect for the Voertrekkers, the burghers and the Bitter Enders. Two favorites are Deneys Reitz' "Commando," and Schickerling's "Commando Courageous." There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||
