    South African, I absolutely love this adventure you share with everyone. 🌍 In Africa, my favourite part is the bush night sounds of night life, & watching you make those Chicken Burgers after 16:00 minutes, mouth watering 🤤😋 I'd love to try that recipe one day🙋‍♂️

    Jeez you guys carry a lot of stuff!
    Was with my daughters in Blouberg in December and stayed in the same campsite but only had a Jimny and Defender so lots more space. Had my solar panels in the road between the campsite and toilets :). Found it on google when we couldn’t get through Beitbridge. Really enjoyed it. Some great tracks on the other side of the mountain also. Lots of mud which was fun. Have a safe trip!

      Haha we certainly do Bruce 😂 28 days on the road is a long time on the road especially when the cars are full of camera gear 😂 the trailers offer great storage as well as a great base camp for our 4 night stays. Unfortunately our cables wouldn’t reach the sun spots but Blouberg is an absolute gem hey? Thank you for watching and supporting the channel! I really appreciate it!

    Hi Edward. Love your approach and videos. The detail is excellent as well. I own a 2 x 4 SUV and would like to go on expeditions but also realize the limitations to my set up. Could you also indicate if the specific road/track that you are discussing is accessible for 2 x 4's if possible as you go along. Could you also perhaps do separate videos for 2 x 4's in order for us of which I'm sure there are many, to also enjoy our set ups to the fullest taking our limitations into account.

    • @EdwardBath
      @EdwardBath  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Louis! Thanks for the awesome comment! I will certainly do that in the future, the 2x4s are very capable the only issues you will face is if the track becomes slippery due to rain and if there are large washouts. Thanks for the idea and I will certainly chat about it in the future!

We are trying to make this work and turn this into a full time job but at the moment we don’t even earn enough from TH-cam in 12 months to service our Cameras to keep them in working order.
