Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.
Not a snake fan and I've had many close encounters with them in camp but I've never needed to kill one. Statistically you have a better chance of being struck by lightning that dying from a snake bite. If you're still worried maybe consider a snake awareness, first aid and handling course as an...
I'd say it depends where you're going, especially international overlanding and the situation. If you're in the middle of the Central Kalahari (Botswana) at Bape camp, the nearest reserve gate (with some form of comms) is 7h away. The nearest hospital is Scottish Livingston in Molepolole, at...
Hi Chris, I'll be sending out a DM to all you guys as I think a lot of folks don't necessarily check the forums that often. I'd like to see if anyone's interested in a meetup and/or just a general catch-up on the region.
For remote (especially international) overlanding I would reccomend carrying some basic spare parts. I also carry the same stuff as Mike but on remote trips I'll have some basic spares as well; fuel filter, air filter, oil filter, belts and hoses (and an extra spare tyre). Some fixes are really...
I have an internal long range tank 45l (12gal) giving me a total of 115l (30gal) diesel. Worst case I thus have a 920 km (570 mi) range. I prefer long range fuel tanks as the weight sits low on the vehicle and you don't have to deal with dirty, smelly fuel cans. Downside is cost and sometimes...
Hi Brooke, Welcome to OB!
There are some forum members in those countries (you can have a look on the map) and maybe post in the East Africa section as well.
Feel free to give me a shout if you need help with anything OB Africa related!
The link you mention there is actually for Droëwors (dried sausage). The South African version of Jerky is called "Biltong", here's a good recipe :wink:
This very local (and you'll find it some places in Aus) but I can not go without "Braai spice"! We braai (BBQ) a lot (lamb chops, boere wors (spicey sausage), steak, sosaties (kebabs) etc). Braai spice goes on everything!
The recipe;
1 tot salt (I like to use high-quality coarse salt and...
We use a porta-potty . You can use the shovel (away from camp, bury it deep, burn the paper) but in lots of our wild camps you do stand a very real chance of getting eaten, hence the porta-potty...
PS. Camp bathrooms aren't necessarily safe either :wink:
Bump! There are currently 9 members and 16 forum members in Kuwait, give us a shout-out!
Have you had a meetup in Kuwait yet and if not, would you be interested in one?
Hi UAE!
Thought I'd give this thread a bump to see who's around :wink:
Have you had any meetup's in the UAE yet (and if not, would any of you be interested in one)?
Cheers,
Christoff
