    This was one of the best campsites I have ever been to. Amazing views of the dam, trees all around, leaves on the floor. Although it was a wonderful site, it did come with some trouble.
    In my previous video I spent night one at Midmar dam and I did some exploring of the area and there were some interesting attractions. So since this was night two I decided to go further down the road to some remote places. There were great fishing spots that looked very peaceful and the entire area was a great place for a picnic.
    Later in the day I decided to out out to find something to eat at a town nearby. I set the destination on my phone using Google maps. While driving along the route I had gotten stuck with my car on a gravel route, that upon inspection after getting stuck was leading to no main road. Sadly I had trusted Google and decided to enter this road which is where I got my car stuck. Now set in the panic.
    Lucky for me there were some people nearby fishing to which I had asked them to help me. A kind gentleman with a pickup truck assisted me in towing my car out of the ditch that I had gotten stuck in.
    I then drove all the way back on the main road to get some food. that late in the day I had only found a KFC that was open and after that I even managed to buy some fire wood.
    Back at camp I pulled a chair near the campfire to discuss what had happen to me today and why I do not have an off road vehicle. The kfc was great even though it had gotten cold. I then went to bed for the night.
    In the morning I thought on my way back home I was passing a few car dealerships. So I went to see an affordable off road vehicle, but when I viewed it I was not happy.

    The Jimny is actually a really good 4wd vehicle, more capable off road than the X-trail by far! Basically the Jimny is a 4wd vehicle (low range transfer case, solid axles etc) that you can comfortably go up Sani Pass etc and do more hectic roads and trails, the X-trail is an AWD "soft roader" good for normal dirt roads to campsites etc. there is a good South African TH-cam channel (Roam Overlanding) that had a Jimny kitted out for overlanding and solo camping etc. He highlights the pro's and con's throughout his travels and ownership.
    Keep up the content!!

      Hi Shaun thank you for the insight on these vehicles, I don't really know much about them and at the moment I am still just window shopping because of my budget. I will be sure to check out that video of the Jimny👌

    Perhaps consider carefully what you intend to do going forward. You may just need a good DC bakkie with decent ground height. I do similar stuff as you, 4 x 4 was out of my budget so i looked and found a low mileage 2016 Navara 4x2. Works perfect for all my camping stuff.

    Another option to consider, since you still require a daily driver (that is fuel efficient for work) , you could keep the polo and save a bit of cash and buy a mid 2000s 4x4 with decent mileage. That way even if it breaks you're not stranded. This will also allow you get something a little bigger than a jimny.

      Hi Eugene, I have actually thought about that a lot and was looking into prices. Thanks for the tip 👍

    Don't lose hope on Google maps buddy. It does get things wrong from time to time but it usually gets it right more often than not. Lots of places I would not have been able to go to without it, places that were new to me. It's not perfect but hey it's technology after all not a person😅😅
