TANZANIA: Tz Safari Disagreement

[PARA45]

Yup, the lady would use some type of cloth to filter the coffee. Cafe campesino is the perfect name. LOL!!!! No measuring cup, no sugar, no cream, straight black coffee.

Now did we ever establish that OP is pretending to be someone else? Just trying to keep up.

The OP is using the handle @santiagoescobedo and I stated (in post #52) that the person (male or female) had misrepresented themselves based on the following...

Why are you pretending to be Mr. Santiago Escobedo ?

I know the real Mr. Escobedo. He is a very respected white hunter and sold a Pedro Arrizabalaga sidelock ejector in .500 Nitro Express to a friend of mine. I doubt that he would ever talk like this.

Post #17 (shown above) @Hunter-Habib states that he knows the "real Escobedo".

That Santiago Escobedo is:
@santiagoescobedo4137

Then in post #19 @BRICKBURN states that the person with the actual name Santiago Escobedo goes by the handle @santiagoescobedo4137.

Given that I'd highly doubt that @Hunter-Habib & @BRICKBURN are both lying along with the highly inflammatory opening post...yeah, I'm reasonably certain that they were at least misrepresenting themselves and borderline outright lying. Please, feel free to draw your own conclusions and let me know what you think.

On a positive note...in typical AH fashion we have completely derailed a trolling post and turned it a "is chicken meat?" and "what candy do you bring to Africa?" thread. Way to go guys!

There is likely more than one person with the same name in the world. It could have been a misrepresentation or maybe not. However, if I wrote a negative “report” on a company I think I’d at least spell their name right.

Did you have a tough time getting close to the animals you were hunting? Skin so Soft aroma is very strong. Deer here in the US would scent you and be long gone. LOL!!!

My PH said “it keeps the tsetse’s away for 5 minutes but you smell like a French whore all day”

I decided to ignore the tsetses.

Well, one is supposed to be downwind of the animals hence the "ash bag", so how one smells doesn't really matter.

 

[USN]

I respectfully return to my Louisiana adventures, the smells would be coming from several ends. IExcellent cover scent I might add strictly judging by hunting results. Neutrea, turtle and Several day old bean and rice with mystery meat.
Imagine how angry original poster must be if he followed this thread. Good job AH members keeping this forum legit, educational, and humorous.

I think we were suckered. Hook, line, and sinker.

Seeing as he joined Tuesday at 6:13 and hasn't been back since Tuesday at 7:00 that would be a good guess

Nope, anyway who hunts with the wind up their bum? But seriously nar. Yeah it’s smelly but if an animal gets a whiff there gone anyway.

Maybe he’s a Tuesday kind of guy/girl/thingy

I always take scent free soap, but I really don’t know why. The trackers et al are typically less than scent free. Lol.

Since this thread is completely off the proverbial chain and I am completely ignorant of tsetse flies. Would a therma cell work?

 

[Hogpatrol]

Two adventures, two memorable entrees come to mind. The first, a fish cooked in rancid date oil, no plate or napkin. that I ate like corn on the cob and second, rubbery spaghetti with ketchup for tomato sauce, two nights in a four night venue.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to stop at Dollar General for more bread and baloney 'cause "I'm livin' it up" in the Biden economy.

Yep, this thread is certified train wreck.

Nothing really works. Elephant dung smoldering in a pot in the back of the truck while you are moving helps keep them off the truck thus off the passengers. But even wearing a full bug suit Gina got bit where the screen touched her skin or clothes. She got bit through gaiters, hiking boots and thick wool socks!

They seem to treat deet like its Tabasco sauce

 

[BnC 04]

I forgot what the topic even was. Keeping with the current topic I would offer that Sonic corndogs ($.50 per on Wed) are quit enjoyable with Tabasco or LA hotsauce, preferable the latter.

Commiserations, Gina ...

I got whacked bad while rafting the Victoria Nile. Looked like I’d walked into a hornets nest! Yet others on the boat weren’t touched.
Someone then said they used to take vitamin B1, so I got a load of that. Never had trouble after that. Maybe give that a go. @Just Gina its a real bummer when this happens. I can lay in bed with the sheets pulled right up only my fingers showing and the mosquitoes will bite me across the fingers yet leave the wife untouched I’m like….you been training them again!!

On a side note stay well away from blister Beatles these like feckers are awful if you brush up against them. They for a blister that when popped will create another and another painful little so&so’s. I know because I unfortunately have the claim to fame of driving my tuck with the top off under a low bush in Malawi and dropping a load of them into the back some very unhappy pax’s. Not much you can do without the right creams.

@Sideshow
I know what you mean. All things that bite loves me, however left Bob and Royal alone. Those wretched tsetse flies loved me and they stayed after Wheels too. The mosquitoes are not nearly as painful but I have bad reactions to those as well.
I will try the B1, thank you for that info!
Those Beatles look wretched and sounds painful!

Therma cell for tsetse flies- who knows? You have to think nuclear option in the battle and the only thing that is a sure kill is pinching them in a pair of pliers. They remind me of armored deer flies on a suicide mission. I think they were one of the primary enemy combatants encountered on the "Doodoo" River as found in literature.

 

[Tgood1]

I feel rather fortunate I have been in tsetse free areas now. Sounds like dreadful little demons.
