- Episode 2 of Me, my wife & the wildlife: Kirsten and James bump terra incognita to the east - into the wild sands of Botswana, dragging their home with them. Stuck in the sand, trailer falling apart, they finally arrive at Lesholoago Camp to find the desert's cutest creature (the ground squirrel - and an armoured cricket but mainly the ground squirrel because crickets are not for everyone).

Just had to watch this again! Best wildlife film ever. Topsy and Helen, Timmy and Harold are entirely fabulous: even though “Mater threatens to stop their pocket money!”
Loved, loved, loved the first three installments... can't wait for the rest! James and Kirsten, you are so talented! Thanks for sharing!
Never have ground squirrels been so amusing to watch. Your commentary was great! Sorry about the coffee pot and mixed up food disaster. A few things I learned from past camping experiences. Use a stainless campfire percolator coffee pot. Doesn't break and useful for boiling water. Put packaged goods (coffee, cocoa, sugar, etc) in plastic containers with tight fitting lids. Eco friendly cause you use them over and over. I even had one for toilet paper. Keep all cleaning supplies in a different spot away from all food, clothes, and paper goods. That stuff always finds a way to ooze out when least expected. I've seen worse outhouses. Thanks James and Kirsten. So loving your adventure. Can't wait until part 3.
Loving everything about this, except the length! Ten minutes is too short!!
Been there, with the destruction of groceries and sundry supplies. We camp in the Rocky Mountains, and more than once it's been interesting to see the inside of our trailer after travelling down little used logging roads with potholes the size of elephant excavations, but with rocks. We have now learned, after many painful lessons, to invest in and bungie strap everything! But on the coffee press....my sincere sympathies, coming from a coffee addict. I can face grizzlies and cougars, but NOT the destruction or harming of my coffee pot. I would have had a meltdown.
OMG Just Epic James Love Squirrels i would be playing with them so adorable what an epic video this was can.t wait for 3 woohoo thanks so much
LOL, classic James Hendry style! Seriously you need your own show....seriously!
I've watched a lot of videos on TH-cam of other folk's trips to southern Africa. I've never come across anything as interesting & entertaining as this. Or done with such high professional standards. My wife and I look forward to future episodes.
Thanks for your kind words!
Ugh, shame!! But, the biggest loss for me would have been the chocolate!
:(
I watch Wild Earth every day since the pandemic and James is my favorite!!
LOL, Topsy and Helen..and "crazed toddlers on speed"....I can't lol
The video and editing along with the choice of music is great. Thank you James and Kirsten. Kirsten you have such a way with those squirrels. Looking forward to Episode 3.
I am loving every minute of this.😁 Thanks James and Kirsten for sharing this with us all. Can't wait for the next installment!👏👏😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@JamesHendrytwo of the secrets to a long and happy marriage are communication and a sense of humour. You and Kirsten will be golden 💞
I am loving your videos. Thanks for sharing them. I already miss you on drive. You and Kirsten enjoy your time off but get back on drive soon.
I am not at all surprised by the entertainment and educational value of your delightful videos as I always greatly enjoyed your Safari Live/ Wild Earth presenter episodes. Love this series of Me, My Wife and Wildlife production! The two of you make a fantastic production team. Kudos! Great photography, music and antics!
There really is nothing better than this! So entertaining. I laughed so hard at the narrative. James thank you and Kirsten for such a wonderful adventure. I cannot wait for the third installment.
Lol, I agree. The squirrel's were hysterical. It brightened my day.
2 great videos James. Such fun to watch, and you make it so interesting. Love your puns!! Always said at the right moment!! I hope part 3 will be with us soon. Again many thanks to you and your lovely wife :)
The Hendry's have invented a new very spicy laundry detergent! 😁
@Ed Grant exactly!
Could have used that accidental concoction to clean the longdrop!
Knowledge + Laughter × Soap - Walnuts = Awesomeness. Absolutely loved it!
I viewed that concoction as the possible makings of a pretty good toilet cleaning solution.
Anyone else, love to see a live feed? Well done Sir!
James and Kirsten, superb! I hope you put these into a package for TV syndication. It would be smashing!
More more MORE! Absolutely delightful, you two. The ground squirrels are adorable! Can’t wait for the next episode!
James and Kirsten this is such awesome! Looking forward to the next one ❤️
I almost spit out my drink at the nigerian bribe comment 😂 omg james you sir are hilarious
Amazing video of the birds and the squirrels. What an adventure! Thanks for sharing, and I look forward to your next episode. Blessings to you both!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love it! Absolutely hilarious. Cannot wait to watch the next episode.
Outrageously hilarious! And very pretty footage. Thank you.
Nice to see the concrete table at Lesholoago has been fixed!!
I love his humor!
Heart failure averted albeit JUST after seeing that broken coffee plunger (and the longdrop but plunger worse)! Great shooting, editing and as always commentary! 👍
Wonderful, James! I'll have to go back and watch Episode 1 and can't wait for Episode 3! :) :)
Speckled Eggs are the best. You cannot convince me otherwise. Also we miss you on Wild Earth, no one else says bebe's and eggies and it makes my heart sore
😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻❤Thanks for the smiles, sorry about your coffee plunger.
Will never look at the poor old ground squirrel in the same light. You have turned something normally boring into fascinating and really opening my mind that wildlife more than just the predators.
7:26 I can’t don’t Laughing 😂😂
The human Ankles😂😂😂
Just love your videos James! I hope you and Kirsten have safe travels, thanks so much for taking us along!❤️
James and Kirsten: Thank you so much for sharing not only your Wedding, but your Honeymoon! My wife: Anita; and myself are enjoying these so much and look forward to your next adventure of "Your Honeymoon" video's. They make us laugh and we love them
Fantastic shots of the squirrels, very interesting to watch. The sunset was amazing too. Lovely video, thank you James and Kirsten. 👍
I think everyone loves to watch squirrels!
Oh this was amazing!! James Kristen you did well. Fantastic shooting and editing. Very entertaining. Waiting for more to come. And the music is just perfect!
Squirrel footage is amazing. The accommodations give me anxiety. 😂
Absolutely love this. You truly are a genius. Can you please do them longer than 10 minutes. I think some major TV company should snap you and the Mrs up for a fabulous wildlife show ❤
We would love to make them longer but we needed to film more and not make them boring! Next season...
Alz J TV would change his channel . It is nice how it is.
Oh my gosh I just LOVE this!!!!
Too funny! Excited to see the next edition.
Absolutely loved this! Hugely entertaining, stunningly beautiful images of nature, and you are SO funny, James Hendry!
wowww beautiful scenery and james i love yer narration giggles it is funny and so cute
"More easily bribed than a Nigerian policeman".....love it. Antics of the Ground Squirrels, Slender Mongoose and Meerkats kept me happily entertained for endless hours each day when we went. Well done both of you. Thoroughly entertaining, interesting and unique in approach. Look forward to many more Me, My Wife and the Wildlife productions over the coming years
The quickest 10 min I think I have ever had. Sooo good, cant wait for next one
absolutely awesome! I love ground squirrels, you got fantastic shots of them 💛
More solar panels and bigger batteries = happy wife :)
I miss the Woolworths stores l grew up with, they've not been in Ottawa for several years now. But!- there are lots of other places selling speckled candy eggs if you ever come to Ottawa, lol- l like them too. Really enjoyed episode 2 & how you named all the ground squirrels-- l wonder if you will do a Steve Irwin & name your kids after Animals, ha!ha!- "Hosana Hendry"?? 😉🐆 You guys are great, so glad you invited us all along for the ride!- Thanks ❤️ James & Kirsty!! 🤗🐾🌈🇨🇦
So now there's a Harold the ground squirrel and Harold the Grebe. I guess that's going to be your go to name for all animals.
Harold the leopard...
Idea for first born?
Did I get 10 minutes, felt like 10 seconds. Love these and you both are wonderful on screen. Hoping you get a full blown @travelchannel series! Wishing you my best!
Fantastic slo-mo video. The birds were amazing!
Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Love it! So entertaining. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your journey. I have had a similar situation with dish soap and I sympathize. Eagerly awaiting episode three. 😀
Soooo good! Can't wait for the next one!
Lovely video looking forward to the next
Encore!!!! Fun times!!! Amusing couple, The Hendrys are.
Pity about the disaster with the coffee thing-a-ming-a. And the hint of soap in stuff. Ah but at least it was clean in a manner......
Very cute and adorable Squirrels. And I kinda feel for the one on " bedding duty " her poor jaw must've ached something bad that night. After all that somewhat jaw breaking work.... Oh and I hope that Cricket really survived......
And now after teasing us all, we've got to wait for part three. I shall try my best to be patient ( but it's so hard sometimes)........💚⚛️☮️🐾
Thank you, that was very entertaining ... looking forward to the next installment
Thank you, James and Kristen, for putting this together its a joy to watch.
I was/am a huge fan of the live game drives - but this series takes the cake! Great sense humour!
Crikey James and Kirsten Hendry oooh so kool..squirrels loos a new brand of shampoo great adventure. U FELLAS 👍💞💋
Thanks 👍
I enjoyed watching the squirrel antics. But handss down were the birds! You captured the birds amazingly! I loved the photography! Thank you James for sharing your video.
I don't think I had ever seen that bird species before. Breathtaking.
Gabriel Jimenez I think those were Secretary birds.
Laughed until I cried.
Missing you on WE ..thoroughly spat my tea out more than once watching this..lol..can't wait for the next episode!
Thanks, for the CC- looking forward to your next episode! The flight of the secretary birds is awesome!
They are so cute! They look like our chipmunks here in the USA.
Love the music when the bird was running in the beginning. Awesome video James & Kristen! You guys are too cute together 🥰
Thanks so much!!
Absolutely brilliant James and Kirsten!
Except the loo and broken coffee plunger!🤬
Those squirrels truly were too much they are so adorable loved every minute of it I have now seen all 4 not in order as after 1 I watched no 4 then 3 and 2 but I thoroughly enjoyed them all can't wait for next one well done to both of you amazing team
Thank you so much!
Looking forward to Episode 3...... A brilliant way to have a honeymoon. I'm sure when Kirsten was a little girl dreaming of her future husband and how they'd share their lives, it was exactly this. Well perhaps not EXACTLY............. Well done guys and congratulations.
Love this, great to watch and share in nature and banter🦁
Glad you enjoyed it
You two made my day! We also went camping on honeymoon. The best ever. Thanks Kirsten and James for a wonderful video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved it!! Can't wait for future episodes!
Loved the video James and Kirsten. Now you just have to make them a little longer. Would love it if you kept this up beyond the honeymoon!
1:37- those socks are to die for! Ever the fashionista James!.
RIP coffee plunger.
I loved it. Definitely too short though...
You need a metal French press!! I can’t tell how many glass ones that I’ve gone thru just in my kitchen. They are available in copper and stainless.. practically indestructible.🙂
Lions ..Tigers...Squirrels
This is going to be a very entertaining series! Love what you are doing here James and Kirsten! The photography, filming and narrative are excellent and entertaining!! Please keep this going!!
Thanks so much!
"Crazed toddlers on speed" LOL Thank you for making laugh!
Perfect, right down to the music. I now love ground squirrels. Well done James and Kirsten.
Another excellent episode - we love watching ground squirrels and your footage captures them so beautifully. So many hilarious snippets ... cannot wait for the next instalment. :-)
Thank you
I love secretary birds. Fantastic footage!
I love watching these! Such beautiful landscapes!
Ok, I just want to say first of all, thank you for bleeping out the curse words. Lol. I’m a Christian woman and I appreciate that. Whoever does the editing does an absolute beautiful job. Now I can’t wait to see next weeks bc I miss you james on Safari live 😞 you two hurry back!!
Delightful! I need so much more of this! ‘Toddlers on speed’ 😂😂😂 Cracks me up. Any parent can relate.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Damn you James Hendry. I had my travel plans set five years ahead. I was planning on going to New Orleans, Nashville, Machu Picchu and then South Africa. Now it so happened that we went to South Africa first, like WTF?? Now I am obsessed with Africa. I´ve learned so much from you @JamesRAHendry and the rest of the team @wildearthofficial. I can not even list all of the things I´ve learned. That would be to embarrising. Musth? Pseudo-penis? Cheetah or Leopard? All the birds? Oh my word? Being towed? And this TH-cam series of yours is so much fun. Thank you for all the fun and all of the education.
ThankYouForTheMusic isn’t it great!
Lol never saw a camp toilet that was not eeeky ! Love the vid. Dankie!
Discovery or NatGeo should do a series- I would watch. Normal people doing normal things. lol
While I agree completely it would be amazing and James is more than deserving, IMHO I much enjoy it right here on TH-cam where commercials/ads are minimal and the content is not scripted. It's presented exactly as it is intended to be. We don't need a big network to change and dictate what can and can't be, especially when all that matters to a network is viewership and money. James/WildEarth is a diamond of nature shows, no need to put them in the rough.
Can’t wait
Entertaining, once again! Thanks for sharing 👏🏻👍🏻
Little hint, rusks and ginger nut biscuits are also a favourite of these squirrels
We were worried about type 2 diabetes in the squirrel population!
Fell off my chair, brilliant episode!
Aww, another. "Harold"😊
glad i was able to catch up. great stuff james
Another fun visit with the Hendry family..
The " long drop" isn't so bad...try just a hole in the ground.. many countries I've been in, only a hole.. maybe a toilet seat on the hole 😬..
I LOVE these vids thanks
Loved it, James
