Who makes a good Safari hat?
#58636 - 11/06/06 01:27 PM

I am looking for a good, wide brimmed Safari hat. Anyone have a good suggestion? I normally wear a baseball cap when hunting or outdoors but want something that offers more protection for my neck and ears. Thanks.

Also the Aussie Army bush hat is great,and OK Marrakai the Akubra aint bad either.

The TILLEY hat is what I have found to be the best.

You got it in one.

500 Grains seems set to trade his Double Rifles and Mausers on those rifles with all the locking lugs.

No. I'm afraid to take it out of the Country. Some backward places (like Australia

) seize things like Leopard and Elephant stuff.

I have warn it to some events where a lot of Animal lovers are present. My standard answer to "Aren't they almost extinct?" is "It's a good thing I got mine before they are all gone then."

It is amazing the mis information that gets peddled around these days.

I was flipping through the channels a few weeks ago and saw a Leopard on one so I stopped. It was the Maury Povich show of all things and they had an animal "expert" on the show. His name was Jack Hannah and apparently he is on the show quite a bit introducing the public to different animals.

Anyway.... This "expert" starts to go on about how horribly endangered the Leopard is in Africa.... At that point I just changed the channel.

Ridiculous!
