Namaqua/Orange/Richtersveld/NC Trip - 2019

[Paul#25]

Surely there are places where you can refill water during the trip.

[BushWacker]

Yes Paul, depends on your route but from memory should normally get water at
PoffAdder, Klein Pella, De Hoop, KokerboomKloof, Vioolsdrif, Sendelingsdrif
and the Orange is often not far away.
... not sure of potability but can boil/treat etc


Fuel :
Kakamas, PoffAdder, Alex Bay
some SA-Agric Co-ops (before R-Veld)
Sendelingsdrif, Vioolsdrif

So if I got 6x5L drinking water
And Est 60l Gry

Drink more Beer (to save water)
Quick low pressure showers to save Gry water.

We should be able to find a source of Gry water somewhere
With in a stretch of 3-4 days

So Boys are you ready and Packed

I’m not

Going to be a mad rush on Friday when I’m back in SA to get the last but sorted

But my Wing Pilot Renay is fairly in control

I packed my Tools and Spare Parts
She packs rest
Food
Dop
Clothes

[LX]

In my trailer is 150Lt of washing / drinking water and an extra 25Lt of drinking water. But we are 4 in our family so the more I can take the better.

I’m not sure why Manny needs 185 Lt for himself, must be a Porra thing

150 liters per person per day is the WHO standard.
