The second Great 1880 era Black powder hunt expedition at Weltevreden 2016

A few items build by a non-participant hunter, Chris Moolman to make it easier for us in the veld...

All the cutlery we collected will be stored in these boxes...minimizing our logistical burden...

Wow, Gert Wow!!!
This is way more luxurious than I have ever hunted. Even in the 21st century.

You and Chris are doing a stirling job.

Thanks

Please clarify what the cabinet with the white cover above is used for specifically. Is it a portable basin (sink) with storage or something else?

Thank you.

Hallo Patokazador, thank your for following this thread, it really is much appreciated.

The item you refer to is a washing basin with storage space for our pans and pots. It was suppose to be a washing basin with four legs only..but my friend Chris Moolman usually does not do things on a small scale..he over design the washing basin...but Willie Barnard like it as it is so I don`t mind either....

**Patocazador** · 29-12-2015, 21:31

Thank you. It certainly is striking. I wish I had one.

Patocazador

The wood used is old pieces of pine that had been thrown away by people. My friend Chris Moolman uses any piece of discarded wood or metal to build these types of old vintage looking furniture cladding it with the forged metal pieces..he really is an artist in his own right..

Update: I recently acquired shoe lasts no 9 to make my own velskoene/velskoen boots....My kind wife made me a klap-broek for the hunt.

Here are the shoe lasts I will use to make my own velskoene..

The leather waist coat and Klap-broek my wife made me..the long-sleeve shirt will be made tomorrow

Yes the kakebeenwa will be there, and we'll have at least two horses to assist in recovering the game.

We shall also be a bigger group, I hope the guys shoot more so we can hang those rieme with biltong.
