Elephant Attack Selati Game Reserve, SA

Selati Game Reserve Elephant Attack

So if you are not aware, there has been a recent elephant attack in Selati Game Reserve where students training to become guides were put in danger when they came face to face with an elephant in musk.

The company in charge is EcoTraining, and after looking over they seem to know a little about wildlife and they should know what to expect when coming in contact with a herd of elephants.

My question to EcoTraining is why the Hell are you getting so close to an elephant that is clearly in musk with students, putting their lives in danger.

And please do not say this is part of the training…

Watch the two videos below…

EcoTraining were at fault!!!

In my opinion, EcoTraining is 100% at fault for letting this happen. After your many years of experience, you should know better.

Maybe your leaders or drivers of the vehicles need to get checked again. No one should be put in that position and something needs to happen to prevent this from happening again.

You are so lucky that no one was injured via this attack. That is all I can say.

“An elephant bull, who was with the breeding herd, mock charged the vehicle and mock charged again when they moved forward slowly, the elephant made contact with the vehicle and pushed it off the road,” said EcoTraining MD Anton Lategan.

So my question to Ecotraining MD Anton Lategan… Why when an elephant mock charged the vehicle, did it continue to move forward towards the herd? Surely that is your warning sign.

The two instructors who were with the group had 25 years experience in the field.

The above statement also confuses me and I am sure many readers and watchers of the two videos above… with 25 years experience, why did you put those trainees in danger as you did? Where was your experience?

I shall be keeping an eye on this and hoping to see a move involved statement where Ecotraining actually take some ownership of what happened.

Why you should keep your knives sharp

Keep your knives sharp for a better cooking experience

Keeping your knives sharp will help you enjoy the cooking process and make your kitchen look clean and organized. A dull knife will require force to slice through paper and will cause you to spend more time cleaning and preparing food. A good test to determine if your knives need sharpening is by cutting a piece of paper. You can also try using magazine paper to see if they still have a decent edge. If the paper is still too slick or too hard, call a professional sharpener.

Sharpening your knives is important for your kitchen because it will increase the longevity of your knife. A dull knife will also tear organic cells, reducing the flavour and freshness of your food. A sharp knife will also cut through fewer cells, which means fewer chances for food to become damaged. The results will make the cooking experience much more enjoyable and safe. However, it is important to keep your knives sharp because the edges are more likely to smudge and scratch your food.

Why you should keep your knives sharp? First of all, sharpening your knives will prevent you from scraping your fingers on the knife. This can lead to a dull knife. Secondly, sharpening your knives will prevent you to damage your knives. It will make the process easier and less dangerous for you. This method is very effective and will give you a perfect edge in no time. And, it will help you keep your knife in perfect condition for longer.

When it comes to sharpening your knives, it is important to know how to use your tools properly. The right sharpening tool will make it easier to handle a dull blade. Your knives will cut through food with ease and will ensure that you cook delicious meals. A blunt knife will also decrease your cooking time and increase the chances of an accident. A good knife will make your cooking easier and safer. It will help you to prepare the food faster and with greater precision.

One of the main reasons to keep your knives sharp is to increase your confidence. A sharp knife will help you cook more effectively and save time. In addition, it will increase your recipe repertoire and make cooking more fun. Keeping your knives sharp will increase your chances of completing a successful meal. It will also reduce the risk of injuries. Once you have your knife sharp, you will have more confidence in the kitchen. If you are not sure, start by practising these steps.

While you may already know that the reason you should keep your knives sharp is that they will make the task more efficient. A well-groomed knife will help you cut food faster and easier. A sharp knife will also help you cut food without the risk of injury. In addition to keeping your knives sharp, it will also increase the likelihood of being harmed by an accident. Moreover, it will also make it easier to clean.

Knife Sharpening Angles

What is the best angle for your knife?

Different knives designs are used in each culinary culture to cater to various needs. To avoid a lot of time-wastage, and struggle, knives need to be sharpened so that they carry out their purpose efficiently and accomplish in a desirable quality.

In sharpening, knowing the knife edge angle is a crucial initial step. Various professional chefs and other customers have constantly been asking us how they select the right sharpening angle.

If you notice that your knife becomes dull or damages quite quickly, then maybe you are sharpening the knife too thin and then we recommend using a larger sharpening angle.

To determine the sharpening angle for pocket knives, we recommend following the next general rules:

For heavy use 46 ° | For normal use 36-40 ° | For light use only 30 °

Less Than 20 Degrees Inclusive

20 Degrees Inclusive Edge Bevels Are 10 Degrees Per Side

At 10 degrees or less per side, the lowest bevel angles are typically found on purpose-built tools that cut only soft and consistent materials.

Such steep angles are incredibly fragile, and use is limited largely to straight razors, scalpels, and utility blades.

30 Degrees Inclusive

30 Degrees Inclusive Edge Bevels Are 15 Degrees Per Side

At 15 degrees per side, the edge bevel is still quite weak and susceptible to impact damage under any type of chopping. Japanese chef knives frequently utilize a 30-degree inclusive edge bevel while western chef knives more often lean toward a slightly less aggressive angle. Some people have luck with sharpening premium steels to 15 per side, but that will take trial, error, and a lot of patience to find which ones can stand up with use.

40-60 Degrees Inclusive

40-60 Degrees Inclusive Edge Bevels Are 20-30 Degrees Per Side

Knives sharpened to 20-30 degrees per side tend to best represent balance. Chop wood at the campsite and then run home to slice up tomatoes for a BLT. Your knife can do it all!

There’s no better choice for an EDC knife.

More Than 60 Degrees Inclusive

60 Degrees Inclusive Edge Bevels Are 30 Degrees Per Side

Are we talking about a knife or a pry bar? But really, at 30 degrees per side, this is getting a little ridiculous.

Only sharpen your knife to a 60 degrees inclusive bevel in situations that require the most extreme edge holding.

Single Bevel

AKA Chisel Grind

Single bevel knives (also known as chisel edge) are only sharpened on one side. Although it’s quite uncommon to see a single bevel pocket knife, this sharpening style is popular among Asian chef knives. The edge bevel can be extremely thin (0 degrees on one side and 15 degrees on the other).

Knives with a single bevel can make extremely thin cuts.

Rugby 100% Win Record: Rhodesia vs All Blacks

70 years ago this afternoon the combined sides of Northern and Southern Rhodesia (now Zambia and Zimbabwe) playing in their joint-side green and white hooped jerseys beat the New Zealand All Blacks in Bulawayo 10-8.

They are the only non-test country to have achieved this. 13 of the All Blacks in this game were capped in their careers. The following day members of the All Blacks squad played an unofficial game in Livingstone.

They then travelled to Salisbury (now Harare) and with 8 changes, meaning that 14 players were capped that tour of South Africa, they played and drew 3-3 against the joint Rhodesian side thereby losing the series.

The Rhodesias are the only side in the world to have a 100% winning record against the All Blacks in series rugby since this was the only series they ever played against them.

Below are some awesome images of Rugby history…
