After watching this, I know my next mushroom hunting area. I have been trying to find amanita muscaria and it has proved impossible in jhb, thou I have heard stories of the odd one popping up.
I live in Durban and love going through to Karkloof to hike. Thank you for the good work you are doing in raising awareness around the importance of stem cell donation. I am, unfortunately, outside the age range for donation.
Hey, that's fantastic. Karkloof is an awesome area, would have loved to have some more time to check out the hike. Thanks for the kind words, it encourages us when people react to our work with stem cell donor recruitment. No worries about the age, as long as the info is out there and shared, more matches will be found. Appreciate the message, hope you have a great day
Aw, we just missed you guys! But agreed, the ages demographic is on the older side the further you go into Howick haha. Theres a couple youngsters hanging out in Hilton though 🤣🤣😉😉
Barbara, you wouldn't believe it. We tried our best to get in for free - even mentioned that we'd just make a quick jog down, but security said it's a R150 per person. Don't remember it being in the middle of town though - we might have stopped at the Karkloof waterfall. Howick was an amazing place though, and we would go back anytime.
Wiith Pleasure :-) . People who suffer from illnesses such as Leukemia / blood cancer (and more than 70 other diseases) need to undergo a "Stem cell transplant / Bone Marrow transplant". The process on the donor's side is very simple, painless and non-invasive. The challenge is to find matches for patients as ethnic diversity / ancestry plays a part in finding a matched donor. We try to locate those matches by swabbing individuals and registering them on the South African Bone Marrow Registry. This registry is connected to an international database. So a match can be found by any registry - globally. If you sign up as a donor, you'll need to be in good general health and under the age of 45. You'll complete an application form, do 4 mouth swabs, and then your' "kit" will get analyzed by a registry such as the SABMR. It might be weeks, months or years before a match is made, but if so, the SABMR will cover the costs of your travel, and start the process of saving someone's life. You'll get blood taken from the one arm, passed through a stem cell filtration machine, and your blood will return to the other arm. The machine takes the extra stem cells out of your blood (your stem cells continuously renew/regenerate), and its then transplanted into the patient - giving him/her a fighting chance to survive. You can go back to your normal daily life the very next day, without any serious side effects. You also have the opportunity to meet the patient after 3 years. My life was saved through such a transplant. I only had one match in the world. If you would like more info and are willing to save a life, you can sign up online on the South Africa Bone Marrow Registry online. Everything is free from start to finish should you be matched. www.SABMR.co.za
The only place ive ever gone camping. Bushwillow is always beautifully maintained
Yes, Irvin and Angie keep it in great shape.
Thanks for checking out the video
The old mushroom farm is amazing ❤
It was an awesome spot, and the shops were all interesting with great options

You lucky fish! :-)
Thank you for your kind comment
Nice I stay just past Mbona
@@shaneparkins5781 Oh wow I'm by Braco Farm before you reach Mbona.
Guys you drove right past the falls, it’s free to view and is in the middle of town. The Karkloof falls require a fee to access the picnic area.

@@NuminousExpeditions You must have, because Howick Falls is definitely free and in the middle of town. Went a little while ago.
Nice!!!
@@Vansafrica Riaan, thanks man. Het vandag jou lorrie aangestuur vir nog n man wat planne het. Hoop alles loop mooi
Piet my vrou!
Probably my favourite sound!
Pull in to Pietermaritzburg, some parks are being cared for. Many people are health conscious.
@@pmbguy2212 thanks for the invite :-)
Unfortunately had to jump past PMB, and it's a one way trip, but appreciate the comment
