    Part One of our Georgia Expedition Camper series! This beautiful beast was our home for 3 weeks, taking us to remote parts of Georgia, as well as a few better known spots like the UNESCO cave complex of Vardzia. We hope you enjoy exploring with us! Check out our Georgia road trip itineraries to plan your own adventure www.goingthewholehogg.com/destinations/caucasus/georgia/road-trip-itineraries/ Cheers! Kim and Del

      Cheers! Yeah, those landscapes up around the lakes blow me away. Then an hour or so later you're in a rocky gorge surrounded by green, caves, and medieval fortresses, Georgia knows how to put on a show!

    Incredible locations and appeared extremely calm most times, the beast looks like a version of a swiss army knife lol.
    The big dog was very polite sitting wagging it's tail and sitting nice hoping for a treat, Kylo ''the coolest dog on the planet'' would love all around those areas but then would get very disappointed when he realised the chance of a 99 cone from a passing ice cream van is extremely unlikely.
    Loving the fitting music too. Thanks again for all the time and passion / dedication that goes into making these uploads in such remote parts of our planet.
    Thank you both.

      Ha, a great description of The Beast! Took us a couple of days just to figure it all out! That was a very friendly dog, extremely polite but apparently not interested in our carrots, maybe he was holding out for that non-existent 99 cone. We were lucky to have a lot of the music written especially for us by Mark at Box of Music after he watched our previous videos and enjoyed them so much. Cheers for watching, Gary! Part three coming next weekend : ) Have a great week, Kim

    Yay, another series! Very well-made at that. Just wanted to say I greatly enjoyed your hiking series and it really helped in picking spots for future camping trips. If I may, I'd also like to suggest showing camping spots or some routes you took on a map, even if for just a second - I absolutely enjoyed the navigation part in your prior videos :) Anyway, thanks for more cool content, looking forward to your next upload.

    Meanwhile here is a line from Faraduddin Attar-
    Don't presume the road is short!
    Many oceans and deserts lie between the beloved and us.
    Only the brave can be Wayfarers of the Path,
    for the journey is long and the waters are deep.
    Hoping to meet you on the road folks. Stay blessed.

    Amazing video once again. Need to visit Georgia! What was more amazing though was reading your blog and your history in the menu About. What an unbelievable amount of traveling you have done in your lifetime already. Amazing. We Glaswegians certainly have a taste for adventure! If anybody who watches this channel hasn't read their story of how they got here go to the blog and read it... NOW! You will be in awe!

      Thanks, Richard! Very high praise : ) Yeah, it's very impressive. Dates from the 11th-13th century, and used to be much bigger but an earthquake destroyed a huge chunk of the cliff, so the exposed chambers these days were the inner chambers of the past. Fascinating place to visit!

    Amazing video!! I am happy I discovered your channel. Is it allowed to wild camp everywhere? We were planning on hiring a normal car from Batoemi to Tbilisi and visit some lakes on the road and camp near to the car. Is that possible? Keep up the video’s! 🤗

    Welcome back, dear folks! good job as usual. Enjoyed traveling with you very much, and I mean that, traveling with you, since I've got that exact feeling. Don't take me wrong, I like your work so much, but just can't guess what special you are doing for that presence effect. At the first sight you're doing nothing special, but how on earth do you reach it? is that clothesline rope or green beans, anything else?

    • @GoingTheWholeHogg
      @GoingTheWholeHogg  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you Nicholas, we love hearing that you feel immersed in the journey with us, as that's exactly the feeling that we try to create. We use a microphone on top of our camera to record the best audio we can, and always use the natural audio sounds from that place in the video. I think this is really important for the viewer to get a sense of being in that place. We don't like to talk to the camera too much either, preferring to just show you what we are seeing and doing as if you are a third person there, rather than explaining it to you. We do all the explaining in our accompanying travel guides and itineraries over on the blog for those who want to go and do this themselves and need extra information. Haha, the travel clothesline is something we bought years ago, definitely not green beans! Thank you again for watching and appreciating our work, it means a lot to us! Cheers, Kim
