    My dear Eva, I’m a pretty experienced older male traveler of 50 and watching this video and your amazing enthusiasm for life and adventure made me so emotional and cry. I wish you the happiest and safest of adventures to come! You are such an inspiration and I’m so happy that you’ve found love as well! Traveling with a great friend is priceless! Ciao!

    An easy way go get out when the car is stuck in sand is to use the method of perforator, to gas in short impulses. So, don't gas too long in one place, until the wheel digs a deep hall.

    Hopefully you got the chance to explore Cappadocia properly, well beyond Goreme. There's so much to see there it's insane. You can spend weeks, months discovering new, unique, weird places, most of it with very few tourists or even none at all. Most fascinating place in the world, that I've been to anyway. If I could step back in time somewhere, that's definitely where I would love to see what life was really like hundreds or thousands of years ago.

    Pitch pine is also known as fatwood. It occurs when a pine tree dies standing up and the sap flows to the bottom of the tree, saturating the wood there. It can also occur in the shoulder of dead pine branches for the same reason. It can be easily bought on Amazon and other fine realtors.

    Google Maps did the same thing to me and about 50 other cars and took us off of a freeway to avoid a small traffic accident. It put us on a service road about 100 feet away - but it immediately turned into a very rocky dirt road that was essentially a dried creek bed turned road. Ruined my front bumper from a big dip- dislodged it a bit out of place - scratched it up - and will cost over a thousand dollars to fix. And tons of cars got completely stuck. It was crazy.

      If i remember she started out by doing that job...Insulation panels.
      The answers to double skin the tent with a thermally reflective tarp cover. ..or get 4season sleeping bags or sling most of the gear in the tent and sleep inside the Landy👍🏻 remember you loose more heat to whatever your lying on unless youve an insulating layer under your sleeping bag. 😉
      Eva You had best check where that oils leaking from before it gets worse, meantime carry spare water and the right grade of oil.
      If your very lucky it might just be the oil filter seal has compressed a bit or vibrated loose and needs a tightening tweak to stop the leak.
      Or it could get very expensive..🌌 Im more familiar Rumi .🏞️

    Re getting not stuck/unstuck, drop the tyre pressures to about 15psi/1 bar, engauge low range and diff lock, rock if neccessary, but mostly you'll jsut drive out. tyre pressures are important as it lengthens the tread on the ground and gives a lot more traction. If you spin any wheel, stop especially if you feel the vehicle dropping into the sand/mud. If you have to you can drop tyres to 10psi, but remember not to turn fast. Repressure before highway driving. Also, get some off road driving tuition! That might save your life or the Landy! I'm not joking here, get a training course!

    You're probably going to hear this a lot in the comments, but when driving on sand, lower your tyre pressure. Depending on how soft the sand is, you can put them down quite low. Just remember to put them back up when you hit bitumen again.

      Based on all I've seen (been watching for about a year) I doubt she has a tire inflator in her car to get back on the road - don't forget she has added hundreds or more pounds on that vehicle with her belongings. The more I watch her videos the more I feel like she's just winging it. Now she has an oil leak in her car which could end very badly considering how far she drives across Europe and the Middle East. We'll see where the adventures take us and I hope for her safety.

    crack raw eggs on the edge of a narrow something or other, like the brim of a cup. I usually use several eggs at once, so I usually just crack many eggs into a coffee cup. If you try to start the crack on a rounded surface, the fractures will be unpredictable. there is a lining in the inside of the egg that sort of helps to hold the little broken pieces together, so don't be shy. BREAK that egg on the sharp edge of a cup, and then it will open easily, and predictably, and the egg will come out, usually intact, and on target. Give it a shot. You cook fine, but your egg cracking needs work

    All vehicles get stuck, tractors with huge wheels get stuck in muddy fields so a 4x4 with compromise tyres (on-road/off-road) won't get that far if the surface is really soft. Some people fit winches but that adds a lot of weight. First thing you need to carry is a good shovel and a few strips of old carpet you can put under the tyres to help them get some grip. Failing that, cut some brushwood and put that under the tyres. Failing that you'll need a tow. Make sure you're carrying a longish, strong rope - it makes begging a tow much easier! Great film, nice to see you with some company. Oh, and there's enough room in the back if you sleep on top of each other. What? Just trying to be helpful..😉.

      The Diff lock is for use while going forward or back but not while turning. Why not consider adding some Recovery equipment to your inventory guy, ie the most basic being a shovel / spade.

    😂 Lol ‘I didn’t think this could get stuck’. Of course it can and will, if you do proper 4WDing. That’s what the MaxTrax are for (orange bumpy boards on the side of your car). When stuck you put them under the wheels and use them to drive out. Lots of TH-cam videos on how to use them. Great video, loved those balloons

    So getting into recovery now.
    Welcome to offroad driving. Very few offroad vehicles go everywhere.
    Yours doesn't seem to have diff locks, so in effect you are only in 2 wheel driver. 1 at the front and 1 at the back. Mud, extremely wet tracks and sand at times may not your friend. Time to by a shovel :).
    Also, as mentioned below, letting your tyres down gives you a bigger foot print and helps in sand and rocks, but can also help in mud a little. Also it gives you a smoother ride off road. You just have to reduce you top speed when they are down. If you let your tyres down you have to have something to pump them back up again.
    Anyway, loving the story of your journey. Keep safe.

    Just a tip from a chef, always crack eggs on flat surface, if you crack them on an edge, like everyone does, you shoot tiny pieces of shell into the yolk. From what we saw, Eva likes shell in her scramble eggs so maybe I should mind my business. Lol

      Its beautiful but like Sanfransisco its a city that sits on or next to a major geological fault. That feeds into the Mediterranean belt of fire ... Siesmicaly and volcanic active.
      The fault actually passes under the sea of the Bospherus.

    Hi Eva, love love love your videos, it's like me travelling with you 💕 💖. I got an advise/idea on the cooler block, you can actually use a mineral bottle, fill it up with drinking water, freeze it and use it as cooler block. At the end when it melted, just drink it, no waste of space and you can reuse the bottle too. A trick I used during camping. 🥰

Tyre pressure is something to research too for situations like that.

    - When going on sandy spot, reduce you air pressure it will bu so much easier

    This was great seeing you two together and the scenery and adventure and I love that quote from the Lebanese guy! Comfort, when you think about it, isn't too comforting or comfortable after all if it's going to slowly kill you and deprive you. It seems counterintuitive but adventure and excitement and passion is more of a comfort. Just sitting around? That's more wasting away and being slothful and a bit lazy and dispassionate.
