I really enjoy looking at his videos. I just wish everything wasn’t great with everything that he gave an honest review. He seems to be quite a good host and a very good personality and salesman, but I don’t like that. It’s just all fluff and not some really hard study. That would be helpful. Then it wouldn't be free... JR
Be strong, be of good courage.
God bless America, long live the Republic.

Ah, C.J.P Ionides. There's a name from way back in my memory bank. Can't remember the exact source but had to be one of the many books I have read on outdoors in Africa. Stan, I wonder if you might be remembering the 1961 book Snake Man: The Story of C.J.P. Ionides, by Alan Wykes. It's a great read, but I think Ionides wasn't entirely happy with its portrayal of him. Along with the 1950's TV show Ramar of the Jungle, that book was a major influence on my juvenile interest in Africa.

No, I don't think so. Pretty sure I read a reference to Ionides in another book. Probably one of Peter Capstick's. He wrote a fair amount about the poisonous snakes of Africa and Ionides was probably mentioned in some of those. I read all of Capstick's books.
My memory is not great, but Ionides is just a name I couldn't forget.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Not just shorts. Footgear, too. I've know several folks who have big game hunted in Africa and their PH's (Professional Hunter--guide) all wore flip-flops. About 7 years ago I ran into a former PH while turkey hunting deep in a swamp. He was wearing Crocs. Gil

Wasnt Ramar of the Jungle set in India, with tigers and turbans? Just my fading memory.

I have shot ducks in TN in flip-flops. Opening day of teal season at Reelfoot Lake.
Have also shot doves in Crocs. Pigweed seeds are prickly and give you hell here. I'll be willing to bet Africa doesn't have pigweed in the hunting areas.

Wasnt Ramar of the Jungle set in India, with tigers and turbans? Just my fading memory. There were several seasons, at least one of which was set in Africa and another in India. They all used grainy old black and white pre-war wildlife footage from all over the world - the heroes would be tramping through the West African jungle (a set in Hollywood) when all of a sudden Indian elephants would stampede past, followed by South American anteaters noodling through the woods, then perhaps Masai warriors killing a lion on the plains of East Africa. The main hero carried a Mannlicher-stocked rifle, with which he dispatched a juvenile male lion in the titles preceding each episode. The stories usually featured a well-endowed blonde in dire need of rescue, either from quicksand, a wicked witch doctor, or a mad scientist (the latter bent, no doubt, on proving that ingested lead kills wildlife or that climate change is real).
