Fantastic news, did you get much chance to do anything bushcrafty whilst you were out there ??

 

[lou1661]

Only really Fire by friction with Baobab and string making from Acacia Tortilis, But a month in the bush was so much more, an unfenced camp with Elephants coming in most nights! and i suppose the less glam side of bushcraft, lots of tree ident. Food, medicinal and beliefs assocoated with them. Its my first day back and im already missing the civilisation of the bush!

hi lou
what great photos, if i may ask how do you( Pleasure trip... with the bonus that im now a qualified field guide so maybe work related soonish!) get to do that, create that oppurtunity to become a field guide, was it a course combined with a pleasure trip.

was it a course combined with a pleasure trip

It was a course, but it was so facinating it did not seem like learning at all!

And it is a very special place, Sitting in the shade of a hollow Baobab that used to be inhabited looking out, an awesome experience!!!
