From the author of Last Horizons, Peter Hathaway Capstick now presents Death in a Lonely Land, a second volume of his hunting, fishing, and shooting adventures on five continents--stories collected from such magazines as Outdoor Life, NRA's American Hunter, Guns & Ammo, and Petersen's Hunting.

The stockbroker-turned-outdoorsman recalls his days as an African pro hunter in "The Killer Baboons of Vlackfontein." "Four Fangs in a Treetop" records a foray into British Honduras for the jaguar, "a gold-dappled teardrop of motion." Capstick narrowly escapes the Yellow Beard, Central America's deadly tree-climbing snake, and cows "The Black Death" (Cape buffalo) in the kind of article that makes this author "the guru of American hunting fans" (New York Newsday). On Brazil's forsaken Marajo Island, he bags the pugnacious red buffalo, which has the "temperament of a constipated Sumo wrestler and the tenacity of an IRS man."

The author discusses 12- and 20-gauge shotgun loads; recalls the pleasures of "biltong" (African beef jerky); describes the irresistible homemade lures of snook fishing expert John Gorbatch; and kills a genteel take of Atlantic salmon with the brilliantly simple tube fly.

Featuring more than thirty gorgeous drawings by famous wildlife artist Dino Paravano, Death in a Lonely Land is another collector's item by a writer who "keeps the tradition of great safari adventure alive in each of his books" (African Expedition Gazette).

Great conditioner in a cute and eco-friendly package
I absolutely LOVE their sun lotions, and then tried their shampoos, and just fall in love with those too! Now I am on their conditioner. I have to admit it is way lighter texture than I expected, but I guess it was designed for that given the instructions being shake it before usage. For a thin hair like me, I only use conditioner twice per week, so it works great for me. Easy to wash off, and it does not have the wax-ish feeling that some other conditioners do. It made on my 2024 list so far. Just love it

Great for thin loose curls
Ive used this in my 4 year old daughters loose curls for a couple years now and its a good less toxic, less ingredient option. Smells nice and works pretty well. I don’t care for the containers it comes in because if they stay very wet in the shower they start to get moldy and if you aren’t careful you can pour way to much out but I still keep re-purchasing.

Smells bad
This product smells like acetone, which makes me believe that the ingredients might have gone bad. The matching shampoo smells good and no issue there but this conditioner is questionable.

Love it!
I've always been a fan of Babo's amazing sunscreens, so when I heard they were diving into hair care, I was intrigued. And let me tell you, their natural conditioner doesn't disappoint! It works like a charm, leaving my hair silky smooth. Plus, knowing Babo's dedication to eco-friendly sun protection, I'm all in for this refreshing addition (and packaging) to their lineup. It's a win-win for my hair and the planet!

Very liquidy
Spilled from the spout because it was too liquidy for a conditioner- more of a body wash consistency.
