The Sahara: Part Two

Bear cuts the 60-metre-long gut loose
Back    Next 

Reaching deep inside the smelly carcass, Bear cuts the 60-metre-long gut loose. He moves it well away from him and the corpse, as it is more likely to attract predatory jackals than the rest of the animal. After a tough old camel steak, Bear spends the night reclined on a camel neck and wrapped up in dead skin. Not the most comfortable camping trip.
