Ganzi Trailblazers, am I right?

[Africafreakcom]

@XSirApocalypseX Yep you are absolutely right, well done! ;)

[Africafreakcom]

@XSirApocalypseX Been there?

[XSirApocalypseX]

@Africafreakcom Yes, the old woman doesn't say her real age. :)

Nice, how do they find the root?

[Africafreakcom]

@iamoogabooga They know where to find them. Once they've identified a spot, they dig the b bulbs out with a stick, then extract the water content.

[iamoogabooga]

@Africafreakcom They just know? There must be some indication like something sticking out of the ground? Are they dowsing for it lol.

[Africafreakcom]

@iamoogabooga Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. :) Yes, there's definitely external signs that mark the bi! bulb's presence (what exactly, I am not too sure though; perhaps check the video entitled "Bushmen Find Water in the Desert", by the Wild Source).

But I must admit the root had already been unearthed when we got there. Apparently so, they aren't that easy to find...
