Oh brother. You can join me on the compound.
(I completely agree).
They don't like it. I've been called a fascist because of it. And although I might be a closet facist (my way is the right way and we'll just remove you if you don't think so) I'm not really crazy.

If I can only find a way to send 3,000,000,000 people on the elk hunt I went on last year most of them would commit suicide before it was over. That'd take care of much of our problem.
Aw man, come on it wasn't THAT bad.
Going hunting with 3 billion people hunting where Elk are would be suicide in and of itself. Especially when you figure in that 99% of them would have no concept of hunter safety
So you're saying we've finally found a workable plan to reduce the population? We can even issue each person a fancy hat...
And if they don't commit suicide they'll all starve
Nah, there are lots of stupid (and delicious) dusky grouse up there.

So Dan had to drive all over Africa to meet a consultant.

Where did you get that hat?
I can see it now "Hunter Raped and Killed by Elk"
Every time I see this thread get bumped I have a surge of bloodlust. So disappointing
In about a month or so, the first dates in the pool will start coming back up, so I expect traffic to be picking back up.
For the thread that is. We have all figured out he will continue to see about the same amount of traffic as he hasn't left the road yet.

Has he made it to the Congo yet??

Well, it appears he's not dead yet!
props to him for being able to suck EVERYBODY in even though he is doing nothing.
Literally the OB version of the Kardashians.Quote:

his photo editing style drives me nuts. all of his shots are way too dark, and he puts too much of a vignette on every single one.

Oh, Dan, you great explorer, youQuote:
It's a pleasant walk through the jungle for about 35 minutes to the actual falls, which are enormous and impressive. The huge pool at the bottom is begging me to swim, and all the people gathered there get a real kick out of me going into the deep water and jumping off the lower falls. Few people in Africa can swim, and most are terrified of water that is over their head.
Quote:
Quickly the negotiations for a guide start tons of men in town saw me driving in and have run over in an attempt to be my guide. I explain countless times I really enjoy walking in the mountains alone, and really just want to go for a walk. They insist I will never find the falls alone, and I tell them I'm not really bothered, it will be a nice walk all the same. After paying the "community access fee" to be allowed to walk to the falls I set off on my own, to the disbelief of all present.
Quote:
When I return to the Auberge a couple of hours later nobody can believe I found the falls, and seem shocked when I say "I found a river and walked up it".
Good thing for them that he didn't notice them all standing upstream of the falls dropping off the browns.

Well I'm sure it's not the hippos and the crocodiles...
So in reality he hasn't taken his jeep over terrain any tougher than what a motorhome can handle.....

At least we have One Eyed Fat Man posting on this board posting about his real travels in Africa as he works with real people working to better their lives and the lives of those around them.
About a million times more interesting than 'ol Danny Boy waxing poetic about how, " the ooga boogas round these parts can't swim" and posting photos that were poorly edited with an app he downloaded for free on his iPad.

The saddest thing is, he hasn't had to wash the jeep since he took it off the boat/ferry.
This could mess with our boy's plans to cross borders although this outbreak seems very limited at this point.
WHO declares new Ebola outbreak in DR Congo

That'll be cleared up a good 5 years before he even thinks about crossing into the Congo.aggiepublius said:

danny boy was driving at highway speeds in the dark, hit a massive pothole, and broke a sway bar. he pushed on with it zip tied until he could get a replacement.
also, he is worried about the jeep running too hot as he goes further south, so he put a bigger fan in, and cut ventilation holes in his hood.

Birth rates across both the developed and undeveloped world have been falling at an increasingly rapid pace in the last few decades. We won't see population actually begin to fall until later this century due to demographic momentum. Some people see this as unequivocally positive. What they miss is that as the world ages, you end up with a geritocracy that doesn't work, doesn't generate much demand (economic growth) outside of healthcare, and can vote itself into greater benefits at the expense of the younger generation that has to take care of those parents and attempt (maybe) to have kid(s) of their own. It's a frightening cycle that the world has NEVER experienced in history...and one that may not be as pleasent as some believe it will be.
well aren't you a ray of sunshine

No, I'm not.
Just trying to drop some long term mathematics on the subject. We damn near discourage successful people from having children these days in the US, by taxing the living hell out of the upper middle class, who bear the biggest tax burden from a quality of life prospective.
Is it really taxes and wages, or is the new American Dream which is a $1m house, 2 $75k cars all by 35, then we'll TRY to squeeze out a kid or two before we buy our vacation home.
I'm not sure it's a change in underlying economics as much as a change in American Values.

Dan goes looking for a voodoo festival, but leaves after getting haggled for money when he takes pictures of buildings.

Next up is Nigeria and he plans to give DAILY UPDATES as he passes thru.Quote:
he few times I take out my camera on the streets men immediately demand money from me they insist I must pay to take photos of buildings, trees and statues. Of course when I ask the price is insane (over $10usd) and there is no receipt. Once again sick of this nonsense I leave town, having seen zero voodoo "stuff".

Quote:
Overlanders talk about Nigeria in whispers, and almost nobody spends any real time in the country, simply driving through as quickly as possible. Even then, a few people recently have had minor altercations, which usually involves fake Police checkpoints and spike strips on the road. Speaking of Police checkpoints, Nigeria is famous for theirs. Both in number and in unfriendliness and bribery, it seems they hold the record.
If it were possible, I get the feeling most Overlanders would skip Nigeria entirely. Unfortunately, skipping Nigeria is not possible, because it means driving around Lake Chad, through Niger, Chad and Northern Cameroon, which are all seriously off-limits right now due to Boko Haram.
