I updated the list above at the head of the thread today.
Not bringing my own weapon (vis a vis a rifle) due to the number of borders we will be crossing. Didn't have time to get all of the import/export permits and other crap necessary. I would have loved to be able to bring my .358 Norma Mag Dakota actioned, Pac-Nor super match barreled custom rifle, but it just was not in the cards.
Definitely will be along next time.
I will be carrying my trusty Mad Dog Panther though, and it is just dandy for social occassions.
Bear in mind that I will not be carrying all of the crap I have listed up there ALL of the time. Most of it stays in camp.
I like to travel light, so will carry water, compass (southern hemisphere version), matches/firestarter, cartridges, biltong, knife, and not much else while actually hunting.
I wear the fanny pack reversed, so it rides up front most of the time like a gun bag.
between it and the camelback Maximum gear HAWG, I can carry a fair amount of stuff with little discomfort.
I shoot a lot here in the desert while wearing the Camelback, and it doesn't bother me now that I am used to it.
