Wow, that’s incredible. I thought for sure that they were gone forever. Awesome effort and I’m sure hard work and lots of money went in to bringing them back.
I would think so. I currently can wear all the different 42 pants I have and these feel no different. My inseam is 32" and these are definitely longer. Westley Richards says 33" but feels more to me like they are 34" in the inseam.
Brand new, never worn. Three pairs of Westley Richards Safari Trousers.

Westley Richards tells me that all the inseams are 33" no matter the waist size...
Flintlocks were well used during the civil war and many years after.
As far as the fur trade is concerned, during the rendezvous period of 1825-1840, the first listing of percussion caps in the inventories of goods brought to rendezvous was in the Invoice of Sundry Merchandise from the Rocky...
@teklanika_ray first, welcome.
So a 505 and a 458/plains game gun. Put the 505 in a wood stock only. You chose it in part for its Africa nostalgia, so go all the way with it. Open sights only, wood stock.
As a fellow Alaskan I get the need for stainless and laminate or glass. Go that route...
Wow, you guys need to move to America, which arguably is getting smaller and smaller,
That’s insane. I’ve carried one on my key chain since ‘74 and never been questioned anywhere.
So what’s next? Well I have one more animal to hunt with the 475 No 2 to have taken the Big 5 with that gun. A leopard. And I’ve got that hunt booked next year in Botswana.
Then in ‘26 I’ll start again with an equally special double that Rigby is building currently. It’s my tribute gun to Ian...
Those would be fine. I believe the company that filmed my trip is associated with one or both. Initially when I booked the trip and filming I still had my company and couldn't jeopardize it with all the woke and anti-hunter assholes, so I specifically said no, and paid for the privilege to keep...
If you are talking about it going on YouTube I won’t do that because YouTube demonetizes anything hunting or firearm related, yet they surface ads so they can make money. If you mean something else please enlighten me. And thanks.
Thank you. And it sounds like we approach hunting in a very similar way. I just let the hunt happen, let Africa give me what it wants, and it seems like I’m always rewarded for that.
Alright boys and girls, the day I've been waiting for is nearly here. The video is produced and on its way to me with the photos. Once I get them I'll go through everything and get it posted. I've seen the movie and love it. Well over an hour long.
I just purchased a Garmin Descent Dive Computer/Watch so I'm putting my Garmin Tactix Delta - Solar Edition with Ballistics watch up for sale. Battery still lasts 20+ days in regular use. Crystal is unblemished. Outside edge of the bezel shows light paint wear. $250 including shipping anywhere...
If you didn't have a breakdown, or didn't get stuck, was it really a safari? I'm thinking no.
As an aside, in Namibia we stopped at a McDonald's (okay not really but something similar) as we had a two hour drive ahead of us. I enjoyed my burger and fries by my PH couldn't even take a bite...
Ok so we are talking about a "stopping rifle" not a hunting rifle. And for Buffalo in particular. But hey why not throw elephant in there for good behavior. We are talking about something in the 500 class. In particular 500NE for a double and 505 Gibbs for a bolt gun. When the PH can finally...
Very well said and spot on. I'll just add this:
The currency of preference will depend on the country.
In South Africa it's hard for the Safari staff to exchange USD for Rand, and if they did they would likely pay a significant fee for the exchange, so tip them in Rand.
In Zimbabwe the USD is...
Delta thru Atlanta hands down. We are talking the South here. They get and understand hunting and firearms. I've never had any issues or hassles with anyone coming or going, quite the contrary, everyone is courteous and helpful. They get and understand hunting and firearms.
That wasn't my comment, it was someone else's. You can have a separate ammo box that is locked and have it travel separately. Or you can put this locked box inside a bag. Or you can have you ammo in "factory" packaging and put it in a checked bag. I'm speaking of flying from the U.S. to RSA and...
Day 13 - the last hunting day.
We went out looking for another Impala, or a Warthog or a Grysbok. We knew all the meat had been eaten at the Hyena bait site so no reason to go there. We decided Paradise Valley was the place to go.
On the way out of camp this beautiful Livingstone Eland bull...
I just received this from Forward Observer, and Intel company I subscribe to:

According to an industry email sent out to ammo retailers, ammunition manufacturers are expecting a gunpowder shortage in the next two months due to military purchases to replenish spent munitions in...
Day 12
Today we headed out to the Hyena bait site while it was still dark. We snuck up to the blind, which was just a wall of brush, in hopes there would be Hyena on the bait. There were.
I quietly positioned the 375 in the shooting hole, shouldered the rifle, and looked through the scope...
