Bush-braai

nearest I can get to a braai now is my back yard with a ferro rod lid fire....

Cool thread. Thanks for reviving it

My favorite army field craft for cooking was to use the exhaust vent on my Abrams tank to heat coffee or a can of soup. The exhaust can get to be over 1500 degrees F.
 
Cotton balls with petroleum jelly rubbed in work great as fire starters.

same thing works exceptionally well with dryer lint..

the next time you clean out your clothes dryer, just roll up the lint that has been collected, put a little petroleum jelly on it, and shove it in a film canister for safe keeping... works like a charm..

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
