Assisting the men and women that protect our wilderness areas, even if in a small way, gives me great satisfaction. Ranger Patrols was a concept Andrew Booth (of KZN Trail Running), and I came up with to introduce people to the daily lives of anti-poaching units in South Africa. We did a number of “recces” spending three days on patrol, tracking, checking fence lines, sleeping under the stars and sharing stories in a number of reserves across KwaZulu Natal which at the time was under siege from Rhino poachers.
