    Clothing? + gaiter recommendations

    A Quick Look at Google says average daytime temperatures are 24C and 19C at night. I’d pass on the thick stuff, maybe pack a set of merino base layers to save on the packing. There is a SafariLand close to Oliver Tambo where you could pick up gaiters. Maybe there’s one in Durban also. Buy a...

    7x57 factory ammo

    You’ll never go wrong using Norma ammunition. The Oryx bullet performs brilliantly. Nosler Partition are also a good bet. The Sellier&Belliot 173gr SPCE bullet is in my opinion too soft to be using on African game. I recovered one bullet this week from a deer I shot. The jacket, what was left...

    Nothing wrong with something like a Zeiss Duralyt 1,2-5x36, or 2-8x42. Both have illuminated reticles. Discontinued but they turn up.

    Nepal - Blue Sheep Hunt - Fall 2026

    Fantastic ! I visited Nepal 25 years ago. I had been on my Jim Corbett pilgrimage. Visited Kaladhungi and Nani Tal where Jim lived. Met an old man who remembered him. We travelled in a crazy bus journey from Mahendranegar to Kathmandu, heart in mouth more than occasionally. Visit Durbar Square...

    T T Proctor

    I like the rounded bottom of the Silvers Pad so it won’t snag on clothing coming up in a hurry. What does it weigh ?
