Red Sales Update

Kampot Survival Guide has moved HQ, here follows a few pic's leading up to the handover of Bar-Red to Michael (an English guy but he's OK).

Both the KSG and the old Red crew wish Michael all the luck in the world in his new Cambodian adventure.


Here be Steve j on his run down period, the draught Cambodia beer being a lot easier to chuck out than the old cans.

Zee, a former Red shows off the rice harvest, around a ton and a half of rice was eventually stored at Red.

Dick Man had his bro over from Thailand who was sadly hit by unusually large measures, he recovered later that night but failed to consume any more pop.

 

 

Iris was the last victim of the sleeping policy, ironically she was decorated by Zee who holds the record for being face painted at Red.

Srey Mom tries her hand at pouring the draught, she was on tip toes to do this!
 

Steve J and Michael seal the deal on the riverside, sometime just before dawn, can you see his redness coming out?

Red

Handover night brings new thrills to Michael as he pours his first Cambodia beer for Steve.

Michael soon gets the hang of pouring and finds the draw of the pop.
 

Kampot Survival Guide is now located in the old Farm link premises and has started a new business called Farm Inc, selling top quality Vietnamese pepper to the masses and serving the odd beer to old friends, pop in some time.


Issue 22 Update
Due to the sale and handover of Red this issue has been delayed by one month. So if you still want inclusion in the guide please hurry and get some artwork done, we will be printing before the start of Febuary!

Accurate Pond Deployment?

Pond delivery has always been a problem, ponds dropped from the air in wartime are doubly difficult as operatives run the risk of being shot at. Deployment from high altitude also reduces accuracy but was safer for the crews.

Below are pic's of a rare site near Takeo, rare in the way that there was only one target for pondage in the area, strangely we have marked the target with the words "target", the dropped ponds are clearly visible and marked accordingly as "misses", the best of them being the four 2000lb babies dropped nearly 1km away from the intended pond site.  Theory is they used these big ponds in areas where accuracy may be a prob, therefore a big pond would serve more peeps for longer, sort of humanitarian ponds delivering fresh water and fish to the poor folks, all at a small price of 10% of their rice production.

Anyway, lets have a look.

These are the four 2000lb ponds, 23m in diameter, 950m from the intended target.

These are the boring little 500lb ponds only 750m from where they should be, nice spread though.

Interested in ponds?  Check out "Abduction Tours" as they know where they are!  Tours are bookable though availability is limited.
