    Snow and Curt!!! Tears of absolute joy! Just watched! The big reveal - super surprise. I watch you guys in the van, and Itchy Boots (Noraly) on her motorcycle - taking us with you all over the world. Yes, I am enjoying Europe. Okay, wiping tears of joy. Safe travels to all three of you. I am seeing so much, learning so much, and just loving it!

    I thought you were gonna spend 5 years in Europe. Awe. Wanted to see Finland. That’s my heritage.

      @SnowAndCurt  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      We aren't finished in Europe. We still plan on doing Finland, Norway, and Sweden to name a few.

    Good morning Snow and Curt 🌞 what a nice surprise on a chilly Tuesday morning, a new video! Africa, wow, that's so exciting. My favourite videos of yours was your escapades in South and Central America. I loved all the wildlife and how you were always visiting non-touristy locales. Although Machi Picchu is definitely on my bucket list to see.
    Thanks for this top 10 list, my hubby and I will be starting our van build in the summer and I know some of these items will be making it on our shopping list. Safe travels, 🤗🇨🇦🙏

    Wow! The translator is a handy little gadget. Being able to communicate is essential. You could have used it when the Albanian dude hit the van. (That was scary). Great video thank you for sharing with us

  • @suecbrn

    Wow, I cannot believe it’s been five years. What a heck of a journey so far and next I’m so excited you’re taking me to Africa. Can’t wait. I love that translator you showed. I might have to get me one of those. I just bought a dash cam and had it installed this week, similar to the one you have. I would love to have one of them scooters. Thanks for the special video see you on the next one. Stay safe❤

  • @Jilltoons
    @Jilltoons หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Really enjoyed this video. I bet when you started you had no idea you would know so much about this equipment. I looked up to see if there are other you tubers doing africa van life. Not many...I know it's going to take a ton of research. ❤

  • @eleanorcramer7986
    @eleanorcramer7986 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Very enticing ideas. The reel of lights make just enough light and so handy too. The E bike might have my name on it. Happy Holidays. Also to have the single eye focus makes it so much easier. Cheers!

    Great ideas for Christmas, thank you. Excited to watch your Africa tour as my husband left in Ghana with his family for a few years in the mid 60’s. Somewhere I’ll never get to but have seen the pictures & now have a house full of their beautiful wood furniture & decor that I love. Cheers 🇨🇦

    Great video. I'm in my second month of full time van life. I'm not a TH-camr (yet), and when I am, it will most likely be just videos for friends and family. It is nice to know, however, how to achieve the start (until I learn editing) of how these wonderful little films are mad.

  • @vivienogden9916
    @vivienogden9916 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Most useful thanks. Really interested in your Africa trip and how far you can get, TH-camr ‘Itchy Boots’ is a useful resource, Noralie is a female motorcyclist who has done that trip in her Africa series. We spent 6 weeks in Morocco in the camper, awesome place, planning our trip to Tunisia early next year, travel is so rewarding.

    • @SnowAndCurt
      @SnowAndCurt  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      We follow itchy boots! We are excited to see how far we can get... if we cannot drive the whole way, then we will return to Europe for a bit to finish it and then ship to South Africa! But, I know we can get far enough to see some great wildlife! And we are excited about Morocco as well!

    My favorite item in your van, is the Hawkins stove-top pressure cooker. You showed it a fews years back and I purchased a small one.I liked it so much, I bought a larger one - then one for my daughter and another for our family cottage in Maine.

    • @SnowAndCurt

    • @SnowAndCurt
      @SnowAndCurt  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I just have a lil stylish one that I picked up from target... With my heart condition, it's very rare that I add any extra weight. I mainly use it when we go to the grocery store... And carry all of the lite and fluffy stuff 🤣

    Ow u coming to my continent and of course my country. I'm right down south, on the eastern tip of the southern coast of SOUTH AFRICA. Look for Port Elizabeth. The famous Garden route starts here and goes thru to cape Town. The most scenic drive all along the coast. Where u can experience the big five, and go whale watching, see ostrich farms. Plse contact me I'd love to meet up with you..

  • @KuyintoB

    I was thinking Africa but thought nah. SO glad you're doing Africa. It's gonna be so interesting to see the wildlife and especially people of that continent. LOVE IT!
    And though I hope you get off the beaten path, Snow put a dang leash on Kurt so he is not wandering by himself where he shouldn't And on them safari keep all hands and body parts inside the vehicle 😅 Just sayin.

    Looking at the A229-Pro setup I purchased for Hubby’s Christmas gift. Do we need to hire someone to set it up? Husband is a Hospice home Health RN and sometimes drives 1500 miles in two Weeks. Crazy people on the interstates and this system will help protect us.Should we notify our insurance agent? Thanks for the demo….i know he will be a happy guy on Christmas morning!

    • @SnowAndCurt
      @SnowAndCurt  หลายเดือนก่อน

      You shouldn't need to hire anyone. It's super easy to set up. Basically, plug and play.

    About Africa.
    Be careful, in many African countries the police are corrupt and you will have difficulties to pass.
    Watch other travellers who did something as you are planning, they had to return back to Europe.

    • @SnowAndCurt
      @SnowAndCurt  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, we are aware... we never go anywhere without extensive research. Remember... we have been thru the jungles and cities of Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Colombia, etc etc etc... we understand how to work thru different situations. Thanks for the heads up though.
