Getting there
Well... the last few days have seen a flurry of purchases with the credit card wanting to melt after the abuse its had at he many camping and 4X4 stores scattered around the Western Cape. Never the less i have come out on top.... with most of the necessary equipment purchased and ready to go!
After some serious amounts of research and speaking to the wizened traveling community both Hennie and I opted for the reliability of the Engel!
The Fridge and the Engel...... :)
Debs and I spent some time learning from the professionals as to the intricate skill of putting stiches into wounds. Thanks to Dr Jack Derman for the tutorial! We bought some fresh pigs trotters, gave them a slice or 2 and learnt 2 different stitching techniques.... so dont fear one of us slices a limb.... a couple of stiff whiskies and a few stitches will sort it out!
