Man I overthink everything I do. Planning, preparation, and just talking about the trip before I go is half the fun for me for some reason!

I agree, also helps to make the time pass quicker

And don’t forget to check the plane out real good before you get on.

Heading over next Tuesday w DVS.

I went with them last year. Very enjoyable time.

I am trying to figure a way back.. but when you sell it to your wife as once in a life time.... she only remembers the "once" part.

I spoke with them before I booked with the outfitter we chose. Seems like a great outfit. Best of luck to you!!

We are flying Delta on the way there and Air France on the return.

He does most the filming for my outfitter. Love watching these videos, especially when I know I'm headed back. Its like Christmas when there's a new one.

Great talk Doug, thanks!

I would add a small journal and pen. While in the hide you can log the animals you see and shoot along with times. Every night before you head off to bed make detailed notes of the day. You can reference them years from now.

Highly recommend this. However, I just used the notepad on my Iphone and e-mailed it to my self everyday....just in case something happened.

Then once I got home, I consolidated everything.

Thanks for sharing this. Really good quality compared to most of the YouTube stuff.

I'm thinking about having them do mine. Did you see Raypo's on that site? Ray Possey. He's posted in on here after his trip. That was a bit crazy when his Giraffe got up

I haven't yet. I am a little biased I usually just look for bow hunts! There will be five of us going this trip. Four of us will be hunting, and my younger brother will be going to film the whole thing for us. We want to really put something nice together. We have some nice equipment to film with, and he has good editing software and is pretty dang good at it in my opinion. It is a lot of work. We split his plane ticket to do it for us! We want to get some footage of everything starting as soon as we leave the house, and just put it all together.
