Surviving as a Farmer & Hunter in the Karoo desert region of Africa.

Michael Kroon was born and raised as a farmer in the Karoo. In
the language of the Bushmen, "Karoo" means "Dry Place" and the
main threat to farmers and their livestock is drought. During
this episode, Michael talks about the importance of conserving
the "Veld" plantlife on the landscape and how he helps people
ethically hunt kudu, springbok and blesbok. 


Michael's son loved planting trees in the community, and after he
lost his life, Michael and his wife continue to plant and water
1,000 trees around the town of Willowmore. This episode was
recorded after Mandela made her first springbok harvest and
completed the blood ceremony in order to respect the culture of
the Bushmen and the animal. The meat was shared by friends and
family.
