Strain Hunters – Swaziland – Día 9

Saludos amigos, pues aquí estamos en nuestro último despertar en este magnífico lugar, hoy el plan era ir a hacer unas fotos de los animales, mientras rodábamos las últimas entrevistas, pero la lluvia de nuevo hace acto de presencia, así que cambio de planes.

El restaurante tiene una vista estupenda, los animales se han acostumbrado a que los visitantes echen alguna sobra en el agua y solo asomarte empiezan a acercarse tortugas y grandes peces, que en el momento que cae la comida luchan por ella saltando sobre el agua.

Al terminar vamos a nuestras cabañas a hacer las últimas copias de seguridad del material, son muchas horas de trabajo y toda precaución es poca. Mientras como la lluvia a parado, aprovechan para hacer las entrevistas de Fanco. Luego nos reunimos con el Doctor, que es un gran personaje, un luchador con mucha cabeza y experiencia.

Vamos con él a una zona cercana donde hay más tranquilidad y podemos realizarle una buena entrevista, sus palabras son muy motivadoras y resulta ser una de las más interesantes. Mientras los animales se cruzan por un lado y por otro, es como estar en un zoo pero sin vallas, integrado entre ellos. Una experiencia mucho más enriquecedora sin duda para disfrutar de la naturaleza.

Han pasado un par de horas y antes de partir comemos algo para tener energía para el viaje, vuelvo a la parte de la laguna para mirar los peces y me quedo sorprendido al ver que ha pasado en un ocre oscuro que tenía hace unas horas, a un verde casi brillante, supongo que las algas suben a la superficie o algo así…ni idea pero muy poético, una lástima no haberlo sabido para hacer un timelapse porque que seguro valía la pena ver cómo cambia de color.

Es hora de recoger finalmente y volver a los coches, conducimos un rato y encontramos un hermoso puente donde realizamos las últimas entrevistas a Arjan que comenta los puntos mas interesantes del viaje, el tiempo sigue nublado y de tanto en tanto cae alguna gota.

Volvemos a la ciudad y hacemos una parada para despedirnos de algunos de nuestros colaboradores y dejar los portaequipajes y materiales extras que llevábamos. Luego seguimos nuestro camino hasta al aeropuerto, devolvemos los vehículos que como siempre dejan bastante rallados a los tipos del alquiles porque parece que han pasado por una guerra…lol

Es momento de empezar la odisea del embarque de todo el equipaje, que esta vez es mas complicada pues queremos que valla directo a destino, y nos lleva una hora aclararlo todo.

Salimos a fumar los últimos porros cerca de la torre de control, nos hacemos las últimas fotos y abrazos para despedirnos de nuestros buenos amigos, Simon, But, Dave, Tando…y resto de familia. Les vamos a echar de menos, ha sido una gran aventura, solo nos queda la alegría de saber que no será la última y pronto nos volveremos a ver.

Swazilandia ha resultado ser un país maravilloso, donde hemos encontrado las semillas que buscábamos, hemos fumado hierbas de alta calidad todos los días, y lo mejor de todo la hospitalidad y cordialidad de la gente de aquí, que sin duda es excepcional. Si tenéis la oportunidad visitad este maravilloso lugar.

Muchas gracias por seguirnos en esta nueva aventura, ha sido un placer ver tantas personas apoyándonos día a día. En los próximos días esperamos poder mostraros mas material extra que por motivos de tiempo ahora no podemos, hasta entonces GRACIAS por todo!!

Saludos y felices fumadas, Mr.X

Un especial saludo a mis compañeros de trabajo de día a día y darles las gracias por permitirme aprender con ellos y compartir tan buenos momentos, Alvaro, Andrea, Alesio y But!

Hey out there,greetings from Germany.

Just wanted to thank all of the crew.

Love the movies,they make visual what before were only stories been told.

You hunt for Cannabis strains and out comes a film that shows the beauty of beloved mother earth

and their inhabitans.

I love swazi weed, its one of the nicest, just like the people there,and it also reflects the beauty of swaziland.

Ps heard a story from the 80s,some Germans smoking dagga from SA(Johannisburg)(only hash was available back then,mainly Pakistani and Marok) and after one toke,one immediatly jumped up claiming his turkey(he was a heroin junky) was gone.Unfortunaly the connection didnt last for long so it couldnt be used for him to stay clean.So i believe the shaman Arjan met, really used Cannabis for this purpose.

Thank you all

great expedition. back to the origins of what strain hunters are all about. the hash and cultural cannabis expeditions are great, but the stories from expeditions in rural africa have a magic touch that makes them a bit more special. good job, see u guys 7am sharp monday, lol ;-)

Welcome Home, all you guys. Time for some relax & freshening eh!

I see it like ; Hunters are making a earthshaking roll out of world cultural development process with the sacred weed and the higher powers that be at the core. Truly a win for us all, even for the masses who lack the tech and not able to be be so closely involved.

Ill be around when you guys start warming up or champing at the bit to get loose into the public world venue for adventure again.

Id like to add , Im an American, veteran of past American war , capatalist and original hippy from the late 60's. The Vids and pics your producing are graceful ,impeccable with regard to steering clear from any negative, political innuendo, that of course is involved. This documentary is a masterpiece for that reason alone. Im a fan for that reason as well. Its about time us americans get to be involved in something positive and of global importance. Looks like the time is nigh for some real progress in this areas, thanks guys.

PS. Id be applying for more active participation within strain Hunters but my time in the field is used up. Just Happy to be along for the ride.
