I HATE BABOONS. I really hate them. StoryTime with Andrew St Pierre White
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 вер 2018
- Truth is, I don't really hate baboons. But I do dislike them. Quite a lot. And I just want them to stay away from me while I'm camping.
But this run-in with them many years ago was not the first, but makes one of my best bush campfire stories. It took place in the Okavango when Gwynn and I ran Delta Camp (Tau Camp) and forms part of Torn Trousers, our bestselling memoir.

Storytelling is an underappreciated art, but I appreciate it, very much.More please :-)
I agree 100% with Alex - and your way of doing it is really gorgeous!
Holy shit chasing u through the trees crapping on u lol great laugh thanks
Wow, you're a great story teller. I absolutely loved listening to your baboon story. Having grown up in the mountains of Eastern Cape, South Africa I can fully relate to the menace of those pests.
“Scored several direct hits” 🤣🤣
I pictured Benny Hill running through the trees yelling like David Attenborough as the baboons made several direct hits.
Yes, but Sir David never uses those words I used that day.
As a rifle and bow hunter for the past 44 years I have witnessed many shots like this. People have to realise that some folks are born with better reflexes, hand/eye co-ordination and others can just run faster than most.
We all have different gifts and this man was obviously a remarkable marksman.
Just look into history, there have been many freakily accurate snipers in the armed forces with very basic equipment by today's standards who pulled off incredible shots.
Thank you for a very entertaining story Andrew...
No my man it was standard requirment to be able to shoot a chest sized target at 850m with open sites R1 or R4 in the old south african army. Ive seen my father do the same thing. He would just pick up a rifle to his line of sites and slot a running springbuck in its head, infact on the farm when he and his brothers we asked to go fetch meat they were only aloud to shoot head shots so as to not waste meat. The times he didnt shoot head shot an missed happened so few times that they remeber each time and still tease him about it.The old army had incredibly high standards and were the most deadly ground and airborn units in the world along with Rhodesian forces of the time. Go read about 32 batalion and exucutive outcomes. Any man that was in an infantry unit was expected to be a master marksmen, it wasn't talent it was a requirment.
like white death, the finnish sniper in ww2 that use no scope and has the most confirmed kills as a sniper
I love your story, and to be honest it has been a long time ago that someone has been able to keep my attention that long.
Keep telling stories the way YOU do.
I dig how you tell stories. I enjoy your Story Time videos more than the normal 4x4 stuff. My wife is just in love with your content. She doesn't watch a lot of UA-cam but for you she can watch the whole video. Keep up. This had me in stitches though, especially the part about Baboons chasing you.
This is by far my favourite Story Telling Episode, had me on the edge of my couch 😊
this is an absolute brilliant story! thank you Andrew I was completely drawn into this
Comedy gold. I love a good belly laugh. Great storytelling
I was watching this at work now.. had me in stiches!! I love the way you tell stories and portray them.
Best story ever! Andrew, the SAS Sniper.
My goodness I was in fits of laughter listening to your fantastic ability to relive this incident. I loved every minute of this story thank you
LOLOLOL your sad face when saying they nicked your candybar. Priceless!!
Dear Andrew, I've been watching your videos for so long now and this video is one of the best. Your a true story teller! Please give us more of these stories of which you probably have hundreds. Mixing your channel with the truck, the photography and personal inputs makes it most probably the best in the world! Thanks that you spend so much effort and dedication in every 20 minute clip you upload!
Oh, I loved this one.......... so good. Oh my sides are hurting from the laughing..........
Mr. White, i'd love to watch more of your stories. You are an amazing storyteller. Of all your amazing content here, storytime is my favourite stuff. Please don't stop telling us more of your wonderful stories!
Great story, very immersive! -and that macro setting is cool! Makes it feel like you are in the same room.
OMG I've laughed so hard with this StoryTime!!! Excellent one Andrew
Great story! I'm afraid the Botswana Wildlife Department just put a warrant out for you, though, Andrew ^.^
These are great! “They scored several direct hits”. Too funny! 😂😂😂
The baboons you shot sent their grandchildren to break in to you tent 😂😂😂
Just wonderful. Yes, more stories. Reading them is great, but Mr. White's storytelling is a joy.
Oh dear, that was a great story!! I really hope you tell us more of them!! Thanks for all the time and effort you put on this to give us such a nice moment. I really appreciated it!
Man o man - this was a great story, told even better! Well done!
St. Pierre in his finest hour.... First class story telling! 👌🏻
Andrew, I am a new subscriber in the U.K. over from MrBuckeroonies channel. I very much enjoyed your chat with him, and I am looking forward to catching up with your videos.
Fantastic story telling
Andrew, I'm still laughing!! Great story! Very visual story telling! Thanks for the laugh!!
Andrew. Love the stories. Had a similar problem with a horse (I did not shoot it so please listen to my brief tale). We were on a caravan holiday in the English country side in a rented caravan, the caravan was sited right next to fence keeping a horse contained within a field. From the first morning we arrive just before 6am this horse would tap its head against the window of the caravan, we soon realised it did this every day as it was used to being rewarded with food by other holiday makers. Now I do not dislike horses, but we are not early risers and this by the third morning was ruining our day, so I decided on what I hoped would be a solution. So I went shopping to be prepared for my wake up call next day. As expected we heard the tap on the window and on this occasion I opened the window and greeted the magnificent beast. I held out my hand and gave him some sugar lumps which he obviously enjoyed, I then held out my hand a second time and fed him a handful of “Fisherman’s Friends cough sweets” for those who may not be familiar with the product they are to say the least very strong to taste almost having a similar effect to eating a raw chilli...To say they had an immediate effect would have been an understatement!!! All I can say it that for the remainder of our stay we were no longer disturbed first thing in a morning from then on😀
Love the content and wishing I could replicate some of your travels and adventures...
Saffa hunter here. I can confirm, baboons know what a rifle is. They’re eyesight is amazing, look it up it’s quite fascinating. Impressive that you went after them with a shot gun. South African game farm baboons wouldn’t get close enough.
Great reminiscence and so well told. I reckon heaven would be sitting around a campfire somewhere off the beaten track listening to your stories
Just want to say that I thoroughly enjoy your work. Your stories and videos of your adventures and travels are wonderful. Also your informational stuff is top notch. Keep up all the good work, and I wish you and your family the best.
Love your stories Andrew! Keep them coming!!
You are a good storyteller, sir! After paraphrasing your story to my wife she bought Torn Trousers.
Great story Andrew. One of your best.
Many chuckles were had, sir. Thank you for your misfortune. :D
Thank you for your views and stand on wildlife
I was at boyscout camp with my son many years ago in Northern California, when a mountain lion attacked a horse in the coral 100 ft from where we were sleeping in a tent. The horse screamed and woke up the camp. Most horrible sound I have ever heard. It survived. We got a state tracker and a permit to shoot it but never saw it again. If it was bold enough to attack a 1200 pound horse, it wouldn’t have thought twice about going after a 10 year old scout.
Such a wonderful story and such beautiful storytelling skill. Made me a good roll of laughters! So vivid!!
I just love your story time Andrew 👍
Awsome story teller. Thank you for sharing.
We used to dig a hole in th ground with fruit, put a fishing line around it and waited, vervet monkey would put his hand in and we would reel it in on the fishing rod, then dump baking flower over it and set it free - it would chase it’s troop and they would run away - result! And happy in the knowledge that the flower would wash off and not do permanent damage
lol
Good one ! haha
I Did enjoy it. Had a nostalgic flash back to my child hood/school days where we had storytelling time both in school and with family, granny,aunts uncles, cousins etc. Thank You for sharing. Later
Awesome story. Thank you so much for sharing 😂
A gunsmith I know has a baboon skull, from an alpha male, that he takes with him to all the fieldsports shows, he calls it "Yorick." The canine teeth are huge, absolutely huge. Great story, thank you for telling it.
just watching this older post Andrew, it puts a whole new meaning on Great White Hunter, eh? 🐒
I nearly busted a boiler over this story mate. Absolutely Awesome. ;) 😅😂🤣
That was the funniest true story I’ve ever heard. Outstanding! I own a local zipper company, Baboons could be a statement on my next advertising stint, 😝
Loved it Andrew you’ve definitely have a great way with story telling , and you’ve definitely have had a great life so far by the sounds of it.I hope that we meet soon as I feel you have a lot to offer to others in an inspirational way. You would be great company around a camp fire with story’s like that . Love your work thanks for sharing your life with us.
LOL!! "for years they sang folk songs about me in the village" hahahahah The best story EVER!!
Sounds like not only an excellent marksman but a very upstanding friend considering the risk involved.
I too hate baboons, Andrew, with good reason. In about 1960 in Zimbabwe at the age of 9 I was bitten by one. I had ridden my bicycle to the local native store and my dog had come along. He went sniffing around the back of the store and there was a baboon tied up there - it attacked my dog so I went in to rescue him and got a nice chunk taken out of my wrist. I still remember riding home with blood p*ssing out of the hole and tears running down my cheeks. My mother was a nurse and decreed that I didn't need stitches so to this day I have the scar to remind me how much I hate them. I revisited Zim in 2014 and went to where the store was. It had gone and there was a flash pizza place there, run by a couple of sisters. I told them the story - they were amazed that after 50 years in Australia I had come back to Zim to the spot where I'd been chewed....
Great storytelling. Every second was captivating!
Brilliant, great story! Thanks for sharing.
This was the best campfire story I ever heard!!!
What a great story, i thoroughly enjoyed it. Did make me laugh out loud. Thank you
Great, great story telling skills! Great story!. Came here to see this video while reading torn trousers. It is great to 'picturize' what we read on book - which is great, by the way :)
Very nice work indeed!
Such an awesome display of Marksmanship Mr. Andrew! Haha
Andrew, you're such a good story teller, bravo!!
Oh my goodness this made my morning, thank you for sharing, getting a copy of Matanta soon
One of the best stories I have heard in a very very long time. Love your work.
Wonderful story Andrew. You had me in stitches.
Andrew do you know how to catch a polar bear? Quite simple really!
Find a nice open area with plenty of ice. Cut a hole in said ice. Boil up some peas in salt water. Spread the peas uniformally around the hole that you have made and wait patiently.
When the polar bear comes down for a pea, you kick him in the ice hole. Done!!
What an unexpected find. Appreciate your stories and hope to hear more!
Great Story Andrew!
I am watching this again, so good.
Ooh. The greenies are going to have a go at you Andrew!
Andrew is likely somewhat of a greenie, as is anyone that wants there to be a wilderness left to explore. Big thoughts, I know. Ask him about cattle production and the denuding of the Australian outback. He has spoken of it, many times. Now, try to just enjoy a funny story without making it political, eh?
I can think of nothing better than a brandy and coke around the fire with you Andrew lol fantastic South African story time
We have wild hogs in central FL. they are a destructive animal, but they don't POOP on your head! Good story, thanks and sorry about your candy bar.
I did enjoy that Andrew. I quite enjoy how you tell stories.
Read the book, loved that story, great reading it is. Cheers
Thank you for the wonderful story. You have a gift!
Thanks for the story. That's how I feel about Canadian Geese.
Great story really entertaining ,thanks Andrew keep up the great work
I just love your storytelling! And what a great shot you are ^^
Never want to meet a baboon due to stories I've heard; but just think Andrew, if a baboon never s*** on your head, you'd never have a great story to tell! I love story time! An art that should never die! My kids are always asking me "tell a funny story, tell a funny story!". I hope i can keep up without repeating... I find it is through some of the most distasteful moments of my life the best stories are born.
Fantastic story and storytelling - lovely. I laughed so hard my glasses fell off.
That was a great bedtime story! Nighty-night Andrew.
Excellent story! Great shot, Andrew!
Thanks for sharing the story Andrew!! appreciated
Great story telling Andrew! 2 spare minutes turned into 24 without even realising
Oh man, I really liked this story. I swear I laughed loud alone.
it might have made the camp more unsightly but staking the baboon's body up into the tree probably would have been a far better deterrent
Best Story ever!!!👍👍👍
Great story time.
Absolutely loved it. 👍🏻😂😂
Fantastic story Andrew. Have a wonderful day
Much appreciated Andrew. I love your story times
Delightful story.
This was Amazing story
I Love it
One of the best stories soo far.. hats off sir
Great story! (Since they were so sensitive to the weapon's sound, you could have used something like a clicking frog to scare them off and if they ever got used to it, then bring out the weapon for real.)
Thanks for such a great story. Very well told. :)
This is by far the best i've listened. Damn..!!
Having had baboon's raid my tent while camping near Vic falls in 1998 I can appreciate your experience.
I too on more than one occasion have shot nuisance baboon's and I can tell you the staff were very appreciative of the "bush" meat.
Awsome story mate! Love it. 😂
LOL That was a great story in so many ways. Can't wait to hear another.
Great story Andrew.
We need more from john T . Me and my family almost pissed ourselves when you said ," good shot andrew"
One of the best camp stories I ever heard ! Thanks Andrew
A fine fine story Andrew!!
Yep.......we have these in Canberra too
