Kleinmond camping site
January 6, 2009 by evl
This is Kleinmond Camping site. Kleinmond is a small town in the Overberg about 30km from Hermanus. This camping site rocks, we stayed there once and it was empty, we were braaiing and in the middle of the night something came and ate the food and ripped the tent apart. Sounded like a tiger or mountain lion. Still not sure till today. kleinmond-camping-site.kml

December 2, 2008 by evl
Camps bay beach is probably one of the most photographic beaches as well as one of the most beautiful beaches in South Africa. There are these huge boulders everywhere that you dont really find at other beaches in the Western Cape. The water is crystal clear and the view is great.

That beach is no longer there. The other half of llandudno beach in Cape Town is gone
October 23, 2008 by evl
If you look at these photos you will see in the first photo the dot that is above where the beach narrows, that once was a beach, you cant see it on here but that entire part of the beach is gone now. Its only rocks. Whether this is because of global warming or maybe the recent Cape Town storm was just to big.
President of South Africa Kgalema Motlanthe gives a speech
October 1, 2008 by evl
So we or rather some folks who listened to the new president speak hear a bunch of gargle and then some stuff was promised. He said we should all just chill, last week was all confusing and stuff.
Continuing his magic he also said the government would continue to fight crime. The problem here is the government has not been fighting crime. Well not that much anyway. If the government continues to fight crime the way it does, South Africa would soon be crime capital of the world. I think we are already. Oh well on to the next topic.
He continued to say "Our country faces many challenges, and our people still endure many hardships,"
Wow, what a genius. I could not of seen that even if i lived in another country. Even as the other minister guy said get out if you dont like it.
He also said the government was "determined to stamp out crime". Well if they did that in the first place we would not have a government at all would we? I mean most of those blokes are criminals anyway.
At last came the thank to Mbeki:
"It is to him, to his leadership and to his vision that we owe so much of our achievements of the last decade,"
A rock scientist. Is he serious? That's like saying up yours you did a great job but I am taking your place because you are doing a crap job?
Anyway, Lets go watch some bushcraft skills we might need em soon.
5 reasons you should put a axe in your survival gear or bug out bag.
October 1, 2008 by evl
Axes are used to chop wood, generally. But in a survival situation you need a axe.
For protection
A axe can be used for protection when you are attacked by wild animals other creatures.
Stuck
A axe can be used if you are stuck. A axe can get you out of many situations where you might get stuck and its much stronger than a knife so it can bash through rocks if you really need to.
Chopping fire wood.
Obviously you need a fire and what's better than a really big fire in a survival situation, except when there is war or you are being chased my people.
Climbing.
A axe can also be used to help you climb, you might find it hard than with a normal climbing axe but if you need to make foot holes its easier to do it with axe than with something else.
Bushcraft
Anyone living in the bush must have a axe. Its just one of those things that you cant go without.
