The women attending the camp , they really did assist us in the camp with food preparations,
 
Baking bread being an important aspect in our camp...every day fresh bread from an oven in the river bank...
 
Every hunter needs to be doing his own re-loading for the caliber rifle he shoots and hunt with...
 
About the vintage rifle we use to hunt with MC Heunis is a knowledgeable person on the historic facts on these rifles...

Another rifle discussion from a gunsmith..Volkmar

"
Hi gert....
MC is not shooting a "Austrian" Werder rifle, but a "Bavarian" Werder rifle.

I think the admin can and should correct this.

Love these posts and the whole concept. I am not sure if the Boers used them but would a Sharps 1874 rifle be appropriate for one of these hunts?
