Wow. Pumba is one sick vehicle. That thing is the definition of adventure. Really looking forward to see where this vlog goes once Pumba is ready to rock n' roll.
Ben,is it cool having the snorkel facing the rain?where does all the water end up?would it be better to turn it around when raining!loveing the Pumba vlogs wouldn't want Pumba to catch a cold.
Almost a quarter of a million subscribers! Congratulations! Well deserved! I just hope the "gay ass" & "pedo" comments on this particular video are not an indication of where the comments are headed as your popularity continues to grow. I've gotten used to your comment boards being a friendly & helpful place to discuss & ask about the content of your vlogs. P.S. What are you going to do about Pumba's front floor flooding? I think you said that was "pretty normal." Are you just going to live with it?
***** Ah, I suppose it was naive of me to think that simply by natural selection everyone commenting on your videos was pretty decent because of the nature of your vlogs and who you are, when in fact you've had to do some housekeeping. I don't expect people to bend over backwards to be politically correct, but I find a casual expression like "gay ass pinstriping" as offensive as the N-word.
Iron Pirate I'm not personally offended. There's a difference between that and finding something offensive. A person who uses such language is demonstrating their own ignorance. Unfortunately, ignorance has consequences. Speech can support love & harmony or it can make some people uncomfortable & directly or subtly condone hate crimes.
Ben I'm so jealous of your lifestyle ! You're pure gold and deserve a lot more than under 300,000 subs, although a lot of us prefer and appreciate the smaller community :)
Because of Ben Brown and Louis Cole, I started doing photography as a new hobby. I really do appreciate if all you guys could follow me on IG and also check out my photos! Follow me: @mrluiscastro Thanks everyone and more importantly, thanks Ben for the inspiration to start doing photography.
Hey Ben! Love your vlogs, its now part of my everyday routine, to see what you're up to! Btw I recently just had some friends move to Capetown and now that I've seen parts of it through your videos, I assured them, I will come visit since you made it out to be such a beautiful place. Any plans to venture out to Asia anytime soon? Love from Jakarta.
Ja,, Up here in joburg we have Summer rainfall and thunderstorms. i love it. with some nice sunny days in between. Then we have dry winters where cape town has wet winters. :) while you are in SA for the year you should come to Oppikoppi Festival in August next year! SA's biggest festival! Pumba will enjoy the trip up! i made a video about it too so check it out if you want! :D
The bag is from Topo designs, another company he is an ambassador for! They make backpacks, hats, and other cool things, and are based out of Colorado in the US. Here's the link! topodesigns.com/
How much did you pay for your Defender 110? It's pretty difficult to find a Defender nowdays. Specially, if you are living in Canada..! Because some Genius would like to sell late 90s defender around $150,000.... bloody hell...!
BEN! so awesome man i cant even explain how jealous i am of your life at the moment! that defender and the freedom you have is just incredible. One day i hope to adventure and explore the world in an overlanding vehicle like pumba! stay awesome dude! thanks for inspiring me and countless others.
Pumba is going to look epic Ben! I like 4x4's but can't afford one like that yet but soon! I've just uploaded my 2nd ever vlog check it out if you can! :) cheers guys! x
I wonder does Nicole not like the way your mustache looks or the way it feels? Cause I usually like the way facial hair can look but don't like the way it feels.
Ben, I don't know if the man told you that but "Entdecker" (the name of the 4x4) is german and it means "explorer" in english :) just wanted to let you know
Ben it would be so sick if you showed the names of the songs you played in the car in like the corner of the screen as they are playing :) awesome vlog
I desperately want you to reach like 10000000 subscribers hahaha you sooo deserve it!!! Your my favourite Vlogger and your editing skills are unbelievable. I love how your so passionate about your videos and anyone who knows you as a friend/family member should be so proud!!! Hope your having a great day Ben!!xx
I don't mean anything by this, this is just a normal question. What's your job? I'm a pretty new brownie, so if you've answered to this question already I haven't seen it... But yea, would really appreciate it if someone knew and answered. :)
I think he makes videos full time. He also has a web site for merch. I'm sure he has a couple sponsors as well... TH-cam ad money is probably pretty decent when you put out a video every day. LezionGod
Good question :) this had become my job! Amazing hey, I'm very lucky to be in this position and I wouldn't be here without people like you!! So, thank you :)
Hey Bro, Hope you are well. Just heard that the mango etc dried fruit have preservatives in them that cause cancer. I'd suggest going for a brand that is fully dry and no preservatives. Hope you're well and Nicole too. Take care Bro.Adski. (Australia)
BEN! I know I told you to go to Cambodia already when you came to Chicago...but if you really like some of that mango, you can get some of the reeeeeallll mango in Cambodia. It's the bomb. Last time we went we brought back like buckets full because everyone at home wanted some. Hahaha. Just sayinnnnn'. :)
When you said "we're on a time budget. No chewing. Just swallow" I started laughing so hard!!! That was sooo funny. Literally the funniest thing I heard you say. Haha.
I have this question Ben, if you go somewhere new, and you bring your camera out to film some things or someone, do you explain it to them first? Like the whole vlogger thing? Thanks!
Love pumba, looks amazing so far! I'm in the US and getting my jeep wrangler in the next year and planning on getting so much stuff for it so this is awesome seeing everything get put on.
Pumba's gonna be awesome! Do you have a normal car for regular driving, or is the rover your first one? I know you use Uber a lot or borrow cars, so was just curious!
yes yes yes!
I am so excited to see how Pumba is going to look tomorrow!!
Wow. Pumba is one sick vehicle. That thing is the definition of adventure. Really looking forward to see where this vlog goes once Pumba is ready to rock n' roll.
Those Gelandewagons looked absolutely incredible. Definitely one of the best off roaders out there.
Ben,is it cool having the snorkel facing the rain?where does all the water end up?would it be better to turn it around when raining!loveing the Pumba vlogs wouldn't want Pumba to catch a cold.
Front runner seem the nicest company for sponsoring Pumba and Stan is the nicest person for booking Ben and Nicole a house for the night

Thanks dude, you're always supporting me :) appreciate it! Don't worry I'm blocking people everyday, always have done ;)

Piano Around the World Thanks. I dust them off, too, but not always quietly.
It's like Pimp My Ride .. but with class! ;)
Congrats on a quarter million *SUBSCRIBERS!*
Pumba is gonna be such a beast machine!
I love the roof top tent Pumba is going to get, although the fancy hotel room was nice too.
Ben I'm so jealous of your lifestyle ! You're pure gold and deserve a lot more than under 300,000 subs, although a lot of us prefer and appreciate the smaller community :)

I feel like a trio to south Africa. Looks like a great place

Your car name is epic. I just got my first car from my grandpa, it's a giant Lincoln town car and we named him Moby Dick :)
Ben I've been waiting for 3 days and I can't find your new vlog. Are others finding this problem or is it just me.
Not only u, I think there is no internet where he is, or he is taking a break.
He mentioned on snapchat that he just doesn't have any internet so the vlogs will be up when he does :)
Sorry! I'm behind due to lack of internet! will try and catch up today though :) thanks for being patent!

When you said "we're on a time budget. No chewing. Just swallow" I started laughing so hard!!! That was sooo funny. Literally the funniest thing I heard you say. Haha.

Ben you are awesome :D
I'm excited to see how Pumba is gunna come out! You & Nicole will have some romantic dates there, I'm sure :)
I have this question Ben, if you go somewhere new, and you bring your camera out to film some things or someone, do you explain it to them first? Like the whole vlogger thing?
Thanks!
I have a new found love for Land rover Defenders at the moment now Mate, love the look of Pumba 😁
Pumba is looking great Ben. Really enjoying your content lately. P.S please do another Cape Town meet?
Love pumba, looks amazing so far! I'm in the US and getting my jeep wrangler in the next year and planning on getting so much stuff for it so this is awesome seeing everything get put on.
Hi Ben!! Which different type of cameras do you actually use for your Instagram and for all those cool pictures you use as cover on your videos? ;)
Pumba's gonna be awesome! Do you have a normal car for regular driving, or is the rover your first one? I know you use Uber a lot or borrow cars, so was just curious!
I'd put my JEEP up against any Land Rover lol. Keep up the good work Ben
Watching your vlogs makes me want to travel so badly!!!!!!
Lol I can't believe you made a twitter and a Instagram for a car... Haha unless a viewer did.. But random
I'm quit loving your plans in Pumba!!!! Gonna be Sweeeeeet :)
Front Runner seems like an awesome company!
Wow. I know you are thrilled. So excited to see Pumba ready to conquer the future's adventures.
Front Runner looks terrific.
Getting quite sad by seeing all these negatives comments 😔
Hey, why are boiled eggs a good breakfast? Do they have something better than a fried egg?
Loving the blog bro !!!! Man can't wait see pUMA all done

Love the content lately Ben, keep it up! You're such an inspiration!

Can they fix Pumba from leaking when it rains?
Pumba is going to look so rad, can not wait to see the adventures that are going to happen!
