A video produced by the Honorary Rangers of SAN Parks (South African National Parks) highlighting the training and work carried out by the Field Rangers of South Africa. The rangers are put through intensive training camps to check their mental toughness and leadership qualities. Being given only a couple of hours sleep at a time and covering over 180 km on foot in a typical week they are made battle ready. Combat is well and truly on the agenda as their chances of walking into an armed contact range between 47% and 67%. This is up from 2% 21 years ago.
