you say you easy as if its a bad thing
It means your style is iconic on the site I scheme its a good thing

O-----K! if you say it like that it sounds better! Then I will try to live up to these expectations in my next TR which will start as soon as I have an iconic title and loaded my extremely disastrous and well taken pics. Eish I got a few stories to tell...

Its chilled You can't help but be yourself. And thats what everyone loves No pressure
Judging by the Eish I hope they are not bad stories Mind you, I have stories to tell on my TR also I always itch to get to the juicy parts. Austrailian babe, German campers, attack of the ants, THE CAT DRIVE and all sorts

Can't wait to to read them

"The realisation, discovery and understanding of Wilderness is a succession of spontaneous intuitive insights for the impending Wilderness guide. It is not something that can be absorbed from literature, but develops with experience and time in Wilderness Areas. Each individual may develop a personal definition of Wilderness over an undefined period of time. This definition may be expandable and will, in all probability, undergo multiple metamorphoses in due course.
Wilderness may eventually become a ‘state of mind’ an understanding that not only the bright stars in the sky are significant.

Wilderness guiding is the ability to provide guests with what they need and not necessarily what they want. It is far removed from competition, even though the mere realisation could nourish exponential personal development. As much as Wilderness is our message to share, it is our sustenance as guides. In a private capacity it may be described as a recipe for happiness with all the chemicals gone.

Regrettably we live in an era where southern Africa’s affluent biodiversity and Wilderness have been reduced to five mammals and five stars. It is therefore fantastic to have a revival in primitive experiences such as the three backpack trails currently hosted by Kruger National Park. There seems to be an urgent longing by the human psyche, conscious or subconscious as it may be, to experience the Wilderness qualities we have been deprived of since we have become ‘civilised’."

Nice Q, Ndloti. Definitely a very educated, insightful, and articulate person from our history. Now ... who exactly?

Indeed OWN.
Could it be Mr Smit himself?

Perhaps the late, great Bruce Bryden?
