In Afghanistan: The Rasch Outdoor Chronicles: Greetings from Afghanistan!
Some of Albert Rasch's earlier notes from Afghanistan have been found, and he is now putting them on line. We are told that they are being done in chronological order, with several dozen to appear over the months to come.
A couple of quick notes:
Afghanistan is a dirty, dusty place.
The roads are awful.
The people are nice. To your face.
Don't ever turn your back on them.
The Afghan people can barter like nobodies business.
Kids are kids no matter where they come from.
Always, always, check your oil, carry a spare, make sure your jack, wrench, and any other tools are in your vehicle before you leave.
The Bagram to Kabul run is pretty safe; at 70 mph all you need to worry about is stray goats.
The Kandahar to Kabul run though, is different story; bring spare underwear and lots of class VIII.
A 45 in its holster is about useless. God gave you two hands, use one.
Witty and Charming as usual, Albert Rasch delivers sage advice and the occasional fishing tip from his base in Afghanistan!
