Hey folks,

Its a little late this year, but I now have the DVD's from Saeed's hunting trip in the Moyowosi in October of last year.

The rules for the share list will be the same as in previous years. I can dig those up if we get any new participants.

Graylake is currently compressing the videos so that they will fit on a single layer DVD and will be ready to get the list started soon.

If you want to be on the list, reply to this thread with your real name, address and phone number, or PM me that info if you don't want it displayed for all to see. I prefer not to get it by e-mail (tough to track when I have requests all over the place). Also, if I don't get all the info (name, addy and phone #), you will be at the bottom of the list.

I will organize the list loosely based on geographical region and "first-come-first-served".

Cheers
Canuck

We Canadian folk usually keep the DVD player pretty close to the TV.

Thanks for askin though!

Thank you 366 - when I get my buff back in May you must come back out and have a look and a glass.

"Graylake is currently compressing the videos so that they will fit on a single layer DVD "

That means all my hard workd of using less compression, and putting them on 4 double layer DVDs, will not be appreciated!

The quality is going to be very bad if all the video is put on a single DVD.

Hi Saeed!

Graylake is just compressing each video to fit on a SL DVD. So 4 SL DVDs total. The quality is obviously not as good as the original, but still pretty darn good.

We have had to do this the last few years as we ran into problems with folks on the list not being able to copy the DL DVDs. We like to complete our list fast, so we do it different than the US list was being done (although I see they are changing to our way of doing it). It seems everyone wants to keep a copy, so we get them to each make multiple copies and send them to two or three people instead of one. Usually everyone on the list has seen the videos within a couple months that way. Before that it could take close to a year.

But yes, by doing it that way only a few folks that see the original DL DVDs get to appreciate the superior quality of them.

Now that you bring it up though, I probably shouldn't have jumped the gun on the compression. Rather than assuming we'd run into the same problem as in previous years, with folks upgrading computers all the time, I could have built the list first and queried the participants whether they have the technology for copying DL DVDs. Then kept separate lists for those capable and those not.

Probably not too late for that though...I'll start checking with those that have signed up since the list is still pretty short.

Cheers
Chris

I got a kick out of that scene too. The part just before that with him "cleaning his glasses" was a riot too!

Glad they arrived safely.

I have only watched the first 2 will get some time in the next couple days to watch the third one.

Always a enjoyable evening watching Saeed and the gang.

OK. Here is the current list:

UPDATED APRIL 13

Graylake sent copies to myself, .366Torque and Canuck32.

I will send copies to Scruffy, Gatehouse and 470Mbogo.

.366Torque will send copies to samwise, wsquared and hundensport.

Canuck32 will send copies to Frans Diepstraten, notlim and cmfic1.

notlim will then send a copy to ILW

cmfic1 will send a copy to Jack Sullivan

Gatehouse will send a copy to bushrat2

Jack Sullivan will send a copy to PoppaW

Hundensport will send a copy to Saskguy

Frans Diepstraten will send a copy to mikehjd

ILW will send a copy to medved

I believe that has everyone covered for the moment. Everyone who receives a copy, be prepared to make a copy and send it to at least one more person. I will call on you loosely based on proximity to the new entrants to the list.

Cheers
Chris

Are people in Canada still living in the stone age?

Single layer DVD drives have been obselete for many years!

No most of us just jumped to Blu-ray instead

Seems that may be the case. Alternatively, we may have the hardware, but no knowledge what it is or how to use it (ie. 21st Century technology, Stone Age users!)

Isn't this fantastic!

I have always told my friends from Africa that their lack of knowledge of technical things was due to the extreme heat evaporating what they have between their ears!

Now we know the extreme cold has the exact same effect on humans!

What a wonderful discovery!

While Saeed is looking at this discussion,
I would like to thank him for letting us see a copy of his video. I know I look forward to it every year.

Thanks Saeed, you are a true gentleman.

And we numb the pain of our frost-bitten brains with lots of beer. I am sure it doesn't help much with the technology, but we are very friendly and happy folk.

Best regards my friend,
Chris

Hi, Amigo !

Thanks for thinking of me. If you make it to the Calgary gun show the beer is on me !!!

Richard

You are back already?

I will drop your copies in the mail ASAP. Hope to be at the show on the Friday, but its still subject to change.

Yeah, Chris ... three weeks goes by way too quickly ... I should have stayed longer but eventually one has to go home ... And plan for Uruguay and South Dakota and Cameroon and other places that just might let me visit if I ask ..

List updated above.

Can I play this on my record player at 45 RPM???
Cold up here north of 60.

Watson Lake

Watson Lake...you may have to get a few friends to huddle around the DVD player in your igloo!

I had to admit to Canuck that I didn't know DVDs had layers. I think it's the combination of 9 months worth of brain freeze each year, plus all the beer we drink during hockey season. Then when our three months of spring-summer-fall start we are so happy that all we do is sit outside, drink beer, and barbeque. Kinda tough to find the time to focus on technology that way.

The most common response I received when asking if folks had the capability to burn DL-DVDs was..."Huh?" So I then ask how old their computer is, and it was "I don't know...a few years??".

Six years! See, I'm not completely ignorant! Bought when I moved to Alberta... even put some extra RAM in at some point in time.

OK, now that I have found this thread thanks to Frank Martinez who re-directed me (thanks by the way) is there any chance I can get a copy of Saeeds 2008 hunt, I will PM you my information.
Thanks for now
Mike

Would also like to be added to list. WIll PM info.

medved, Saskguy, mikejhd....the list above has been updated to include you guys.

Cheers
Canuck

Thanks for adding me to the list.
Now, what DVD burner do I need. Last time I got a set of videos my burner burnt so I relaced it with a Sony "DVD + - R dual layer. Is that going to work or do I get to go shoping for a new computer this time.LOL

If you pay attention to what is being said, you will see and hear many little gems from this lot!

Walter walks a few yards to an ant hill, and lies there for his zebra to come close.

A couple of hours later, he shoots it, and says "That was a great hunt! I enjoyed it" Roy comes up with something like "yeah, and you did not have to walk a single step either"

This love hate relationship between Roy and Walter started years ago. And despite Walter non-stop efforts to annoy Roy, Roy has refrained from paying him back.

At one camp in Matetsi, we had a bar, with a lockable storage for driunks. Apparebtly the camp staff like it too much.

Walter managed to remove the wood backing of the bar, took all the drinks out, and put things back.

In teh evening, Roy opens the lock, wanting to get some after dinner drinks.

All hell broke loose, and Walter had a field day making sure Roy gets into the mood of strangling everyone who worked there!

Another time we were shooting birds for a change.

I shot a few, and handed Walter the shotgun to shoot some.

He kept missing, so Roy takes the shootign sticks and puts them up for Walter to rest his shotgun on. Walter turns around, puts the shotgun barrel a few inches from Roy's ears, and fires 5 shots in succession!

Roy was screaming that he will GET Walter.

He never did, but has never forgotten that episode either.

On our hunts, it seems everyone is trying their best to annoy everyone else!

Aaaah, hunting & shenanigans! How does Walter plan to top himself? Or, does one dare to ask?


You know, just a suggestion here, if Roy were to install a Sattelite T.V., it might distract Walter and lessen his "annoying" ways.

We don't like TVs, radios or music in camp.

Walter had a radio with him once, and he kept telling us all the days news at dinner.

That radio developed terminal sickenss and never worked again!

One year he asked to use my sattelite phone, which I was glad to lend him. With instructions that he makes his call, then turn it off.

We were sitting at dinner, when I heard the phone ring. I asked him about it, and he said he called someone and left a message for him to call back.

I took my phone back, and he had to provide his own sattelite phone phone to use ever since.

One time someone had an ipod, with one of those speakers you can connect to it.

It was sat on the table in the dining room blasting music as we came into camp.

I said very loudly that I was going to my tent, and if that music blaster was still on, I would shoot it.

Never heard it again.
