Oh, thank you so much for the kind words and taking the time to leave a comment! Cheers!!

From the bottom of my heart, thank you Martin for the continued support and kind words 😃 Sadly I think you are right about the world destroying the last little pockets of beauty... See you on the next one!

😂🤣 Landy addicts can never get enough!

Or at least doing my best to be something... 😀

Deal! Thanks for the encouragement too!

Yes, amazing and so simple and hidden from us to a large degree. 100% Olive and Avocado oils all the way :-) Get into it!!

Thanks mate! Life is certainly not a bed of roses, but I think you can't complain too much when you get to follow your dreams a little in life... glad you enjoyed it, lets see what I can produce in the next few weeks!

Thanks guys!

Thanks, will do!

Welcome back! Congratulations on the weight loss! And the new living quarters..Namibia?

Thank you! Cheers!

Hi mate!! Thanks for the great comment!! I've never been hungry to be honest, Keto is nourishing and easy imho. Sometimes a vague plan and a long held passion is enough to step out into the dark and take your chances... I hope you find your way too!! Cheers, Darrin

Thanks mate! I would be happy to confirm that for you, however there is clearly a sign there saying to be quiet so I can't discuss it any further sorry!

@@roamingyakI'll say no more, other than to note they still haven't fixed the broken step. It's been like that for at least 30 years.

@@robertbotoole 😂I believe you!

Thanks mate!

Thanks! Will do! Take care until then 🤗

Yes I did mate. For a few minutes. I was planning on staying for a while and getting some nice shots, but the campsite on the river was closed, so just had a quick visit which was disappointing.... this link shows the river parts: ruclips.net/video/0VQ60Hp88f0/видео.html I get there in a later series as well :-)

When people visit places, we 'ruin' them sooner or later... As the number of visitors increases, the quality of them tends to plunge...?

It all depends on how sensible you are - if mildly sensible and willing to back out when it gets beyond your limits, then I'd say go for it! Just allow plenty of time so you aren't rushing. Good luck!!

Hi Beth, thanks for watching and the very very interesting message. So he would have been 20-22 years old when I saw him in 2010 I guess...? It is fair to say he grew into quite a size! It was a jaw dropping/tingle down the spine experience to see him up close.

Thanks Mr Neil, low range is a good idea, my default would be 3rd gear to start with and then change up or down as you need too. It was all fairly easy as there are other tyre tracks to follow in so not much virgin sand to plough through. As ever, time of the day and sunshine/hot sand dependent answers. Enjoy it!

I understand. Before making these films I rarely looked at my photos as they made me feel the same way... Thanks... I find Namibia pretty 'easy' compared to Somalia, Congo etc and I have to say I really enjoyed having everything to myself. I too have had bad spinal issues - loosing a lot of weight and exercising (lifting gentle weights, cycling) has largely fixed it. Let me know an email if you'd like some more details, it was all pretty easy, diet is 80% of it.... Healthy Keto Diet with Intermittent Fasting, easy and fantastic.

😂🤣🤣🤣

Awesome! Thank you Henry! (The Sossusvlei video is just raw footage of driving )

Sorry to hear that mate, something seems fishy doesn't it... But glad you enjoyed the episode as usual!!

OH! Thank you Victoria! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I agree 😃😃

OH! I'm really glad you enjoyed it! 😃😃😍 Thats what I was hoping - people could have their own thoughts and feelings as they drive along in such a pretty place...

Hard to say, I am fairly sure the driver had the windows down and the 6x9 speakers and sub woofer pumped up! "Just sixteen, a pickup truck, out of money, out of luck. I've got nowhere to call my own, hit the gas, and here I go. I'm running free yeah, I'm running free. I'm running free yeah, Oh I'm running free." ruclips.net/video/t42zllg8Tp0/видео.html

@@roamingyak okay so you are qualified to live in Texas as long as there is a fiddle in the band!

Thanks Martin 😃😃 I also found it a bit mesmerising - just watching it back now I ended up burning my dinner as I lost focus on the stove 😂 I thought it would be nice to let you all have your own thoughts and enjoy driving the Landy along... It was a unique experience that I wanted to share somehow... though I know the video would be better if it had more of my singing perhaps?

Oh please, no more singing...... only joking mate. Serious question Darrin, could you make available a paid for download of your documentaries series episodes, maybe include content that is only available to this format, behind the scenes, making of etc. I would defo be up for buying content I can keep forever. Just an idea, next best thing to having a hard copy like dvd or blueray.

I have looked into options like this, but they all require paying a monthly hosting fee, plus I'd need to find a way to upload hundreds of gigabytes of video when I have a very poor internet connection at the moment... I kind of figured with my poor viewing figures I'd be unlikely to sell enough per month to cover the monthly fee's charged... Plus I have no control over others rediting my wildlife footage for example and uploading it themselves onto social media, so its a bit of a tricky wicket, but I will continue to have a look at it, I'd like to do something like this.

Yes, subscription fees make that option a risk for you mate, and the added worry of unscrupulous types using you content for their benefit. You could have mail order usb drives, that would be a hassle ,but at least there's no fees to you. Like I've said before, I've still got a copy of your dvd and youtube may not be a thing in the future or if your channel gets taken down (unlikely) then it's gone forever, you films should be preserved, they really are that good in my opinion, rant over, haha.

Your welcome my favourite Texan mate!

Thanks for checking it out Mike. Yes, all round a surreal and interesting year with experiences like this...

@@roamingyak was interested to know which camp site you based yourself in?

@@mikereeler9021 They were all empty so I could choose any of them.. so I stayed in the one inside the park gate so I could just go first thing without having to wait for the staff to come and pay etc

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks mate!

I'm glad you enjoyed it 😃

Hi mate, thanks for stopping by and watching... It is quite hard not to love the beauty of the place all round. The tyre fix wasn't cheap by local standards by the sounds, but glad you helped give the perception that we are a bunch of drunkards 😀🤣🤣 People are generally on very low pay so appreciate any thoughtful gifts. Hopefully see you on the road the next tome you visit 😀

@@roamingyakNamibia is a hard sell tourist destination here in N.Z. Unfair I know. But most people are soft. Want ‘comfort zone’ ‘instagram photo op’ destinations. When I get pushback. Worried looks when I tell people I’m off to Namibia, Iran, Bolivia etc. I reverse perceptions. Ask them to tell me what they believe someone from those countries thinks about Christchurch? Major earthquake & mosque shootings must spring to mind. Your videos do a lot to address the misconceptions about Namibia. Message to anyone thinking about visiting Namibia and worried about safety. Your biggest threat is your own stupidity, lack of attention or skills on the road. Cheers. Paul

@@InterestingFingz The only time I have been robbed (in visiting over 110+ countries) was in NZ. The only time I've had my vehicle stolen was in NZ. Enough said!

Thanks for noticing! I'm glad you liked it 😀 I stopped using it in future episodes as I assumed nobody cared for it...?

Oh, thanks mate! And thanks for being kind enough to comment as well... 😀 Only RUclips can answer that question unfortunately - but please feel free to share it with others to try and force them along a bit. Cheers, Darrin

Glad it was helpful! 🕷️🕸️ 🤣 About 20% of the time, on the 2nd or 3rd flush sometimes, a huge spider crawls out a bit wet and wanders off, truly spooky!

I'm sure Namibia would love to have you visit her again Stuart! Who knows, you might even run into a cool green Landy when your there! 😃😃⁉️❓

@@roamingyak are you still there?

@@stuartrollings602 I think so, let me check! 😀

A big thanks mate! I'm glad it came across well, they were mostly just phone snaps so wasn't sure if I should use them... The quality of footage takes a big jump up from here!

Your more than welcome mate, pleasure, as they say in Namibia 😀 That shot is south of green drum a bit 👍

Thanks mate... glad you enjoyed it ☺️
