The time of year is a balancing act. We were too early, not hot enough and not burnt which makes for very hard hunting. Chose the time to suit Matt as the hotter months would have been unbearable. Still reasonable hunting. 7 days straight is a huge effort.
Foot sore and blisters are part of the big KM's.
On Hydration. we manage our core temp by using iced water from 360 or yeti 1.5lt insulated bottles. As per DR Matt Brearlys studies on heat exhaustion (Google It.) Work uses his program for heat stress managment.
Usually carry 3 litres for the day , water load before leaving camp down a 600ml bottle , and carry another 600 ml bottle which is consumed at first stop/ 4-5km in. Route is planned around water availability from springs , creeks or known water sources. Topping up at every opportunity. Also cooling your head , nape of neck, which helps keep core temp down.
Usualy still have iced water for the trip out. Hydralite added although more for flavour. Food is a mix of lollies, muesli bars , biltong.
A iced cold ginger beer is appreciated at the end of the day.
Chris M put me onto the iced bottles.
It amused Matt that we returned to camp and got sorted for dinner straight away. Generaly done as settling in for a rest causes muscle stiffness and or cramps From lactic acid build up.
Shower , rest and a feed makes it all seem worth while.
Matts CZ 550 is what they should come like, a fair amount of stock work and refinements have gone into a nice handling rifle Very good stock work.
Heres a few more of Mitch's pics. Cheers Mick
