pretty cool video. It is kinda funny hearing the guy talk about it as though it is safe due to the fact that every move is planned out and rehearsed.

Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt.

Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry
Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure.

I've seen that done before but not from a helicopter. Pretty kewl. Plus all the good hunting and fishing spots you could bird dog while flying around.

Some years ago I got to watch a crew do that just out my office window. The line was in the valley and my office was on the hillside over looking the "action". They worked part of two days out there.

Gotta trust that Hughes 500 and the guy on the stick. There have to be some Oopsies once in a while doing that work.

Wonder what the long term health affects are working in that much "flux" or whatever the correct term is?

No,I would not want the job either. I have a friend who worked @the Alcoa electrical plant.The injuries there are different. We have all been bit with a little bit of 110V. Some have dealt w/ 220V. When we get into 460+++ things get scary,as in it might not kill you...yet.When the voltage increases it will go through the body but course it,looking for the closest ground. Thus the extremities. It has to go somewhere.Sometimes it takes off a foot or leg or hand or arm or head,etc.On a lighter note the voltage that hurt me the worst was 24.When working on an A.C. unit + the transformer kicks in,you get buzzed + involuntarily jerk your hand....+ do severe damage.

I can get close...

When I got out of the Army I was looking for a job, just about anything legal. Job Service sends me over to apply for a job cleaning septic tanks. Seriously.

The guy talks to me and asks me if I would mind taking an aptitude test. OK, let's do that. It was 300 questions long and took me two hours. The next day the guy calls me and tells my I flunked the test.

I felt like the ultimate loser, flunked an aptitude test to go to work pumping out septic systems.

He told me that the test questions showed I had a marked reluctance to stick with a job that I considered menial, and would probably not make it to the first paycheck.

My shame is unending...

Just being able to read and take the test most likely disqualified you.

Yes sir, us guys that own septic pumping businesses definitely have a unique job. But like my CPA said when he called and told me I needed buy the business, "As long as there is a grocery store around, you have work!" I've laughed all the way to the bank.

Only three things you need to know to be in the septic tank cleaning business. Don't chew your fingernails. Your shit is our bread and butter. Payday's on Friday.
