Thread: Flying in for the roar

Take a decent rifle...something with a bit of calibre...these are stags your'e after not goats and hares...make sure you show your mates your knife in case you get bushed...take two lots of grog, one lot tucked away in your pack and one lot for the pilot to tell you to put back in your vehicle because you are over weight...they get their jollies off tossing you booze out...and you gotta have booze...you might shoot the biggest stag of your life and it will really piss you off if you only have tea bags.

I may pay to contact the operator your flying with and find out what type of machine will be used and their weight limitations. They should e-mail you a form confirming your gear and weight limits.
Nothing pisses a pilot off more than gear for Africa and a a heap of beers. Worse is a bunch of whinging pax when are told they cant take it or will cost extra to get in.
Guys with gear for the task are a dream and will have the pilot in a good mood and if able will go out of their way to improve your trip.
