Damn, that's exactly what I scrolled down to say. Everybody's gotta eat and you have to eat what's available. Like with the Pangolin - a person's motivation makes all the difference. Slaughtering them wholesale to basically make "snake oil" versus killing one to eat and survive another day.
6:23 the silent rushing wind and the encounter with the inquisitive butterfly brought a flashback of being on a bike climbing up the forested mountain in Ko Samui, Thailand on the way to a meditation center. It brought back that feeling of rushing green and fresh air blowing in my face and the vastness of the world. The complete and utter engagement with nature and a deep bliss. In another vid you said "Life is a participation sport, not a spectator sport", I needed to hear that, and it hid hard. Thank you Mike. 💕
Hi man, I'm from the Congo(DRC). Great video. The main reason why you have been labeled as spies is because Obed is from the east of DRC where there is rebels who are mining illegally, killing people in the village in order to disperse them and forcing them to leave the villages, jungle due to fear. The other reason is also that in the DRC we are too protective about the pygmies as they are a minority, they never want to live in the urban city. They are very protective over their culture. They have good and deep knowledge of the jungle and wild life. They know which animals are in danger of extinction, they didn't want to speak to you as they saw you with the crocodile, they had to call the head of their small village to see, so he can be aware.
its great to know that the minority tribal people are protected there. In so many other countries the indiginous tribal people are prosecuted and taken advantage ofand its sad
question do people in the area drill wells or can they only take from the river? it seems we could set up a filter system and get them cleaner water very cheap
man I love that they accept this man like one of them playing soccer with him and everything. I love when people from different parts of the world share time together. Bless y’all.
The party part is my favorite. The way they dance and the way their face lights up when you join them is wonderful. It’s amazing how music connects people together even if there’s a language barrier.

Watching from Kenya. I really appreciate your work. My heart however bleeds, wondering what happened to the DRC. A massive country, so much blessed with natural resources. So much potential, it could be the food basket of Africa, the economic vein of Africa, the breath and the sunshine that Africa desperately needs. And yet today, we see funded militias fighting deep from the jungles, we see France and other imperialists establishing mining companies in that country that has a few tarmac roads. Who will really save DRC? The mighty Congo River alone can produce hydroelectric power enough to light up the whole of Africa.
i wanna be like this guy, he’s out here living his life to the fullest and openly accepting all different types of people without a second thought. i know a lot of people that wouldn’t even think of doing anything near to what this guy has done, respect
It's because in western society, the consensus is if you're not famous, successful, extraordinary, wealthy, ect. then you're just inadequate by default, which plays a huge part in why so many people have depression here in America, even though the vast majority of us live in extreme comfort in comparison to poor people in 3rd world countries. They don't have much room to be sad about trivial things like we do because they're simply too focused on trying to survive like you said. And real survival too. They appreciate the smaller things in life like community and having a meal at night, things that many of us overlook and underappreciate on a daily basis. We directly and indirectly live to "keep up with the Jones's" so to speak. They're just living life.
The party bit in the village was so cool! Their music is awesome. They’re doing cool rhythms and harmonizing really well with their singing. Amazing you still had energy to dance after traveling all day with no food. This channel is incredible.

@@talktothesand88 it doesn’t matter what I do or don’t like or what it sounds like. The historical facts show what western white countries have done and continue to do to the motherland. Rape, loot, steal, deceive.
There are plenty of wisdom and philosophy in your reportage. This is heart warming and good lessons to take for anyone aware of others and willing to travel.keep doing the good work and make us dream
That's the beauty of it. You can watch an episode a dozen times and still find something new to learn on some level. It's almost like how The Simpsons is funny on multiple levels and each time you watch an episode you find a new thing to laugh at. Only with wisdom and insight instead of laughter. Well, there's some laughter too. Which is the icing on the cake.
These lines we draw on the sands, thinking we're different but we're not, the moment we realize we're all the same, suffering will end. I can truly relate to this, you have my respect and I truly appreciate what you're doing for the world.
We draw these lines because, while we are the same , the experiences are very different . This guy has a waaaaaaay different set of opportunities and lives a life where he gets to point to where he wants to go , or choose what he wants to do . Iv lived in African countries volunteering and I must say that the image of a romanticized Africa becomes different when you realize that they don’t get to choose whether or not living like them is an “adventure “ vs a way of life . Most people watching this don’t realize that many can’t choose to jump teams whenever they feel they want to . I like this guys content it’s great , just thought I would mention this .
@@andrescardenas2958 What you say is true, but it seems like you’re missing the message. He is saying that even though these people live differently from us that we shouldn’t view them as different or inferior. Precisely because they may not be able to change their station in life. Any of us could have easily been born into their same situation.
THANK YOU!! For these wonderful videos, for living my dream, for combating ignorance, and showing how human we all really are. Especially in this video, the minute between 18:20-19:25, just outstanding. I have enjoyed every video so far! All done with class, humility, and respect. The best travel/documentary films I've found so far and you have single-handedly taught me so much about a personal interest: The Congo Region and its people. Here's to life, love, nature, and adventure! Keep living the dream brother! 💚🌍
This guys ability to really do anything and have a positive attitude while doing it with empathy is incredible and inspiring. These are awesome! I just started and love them!

*What is the Gospel?* The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Romans 10:9 9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. JESUS CHRIST can come anytime! REPENT OF YOUR SINS Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS
@@tama3442 God died for our sins? Aka the knowledge he forbid from us? Well Satan died for our free will. If we're made in gods image then "God" should have fashioned us in a way for us to not attain the knowledge. But he didn't. Cause he dumb lmao
People are noticing the skill behind your storytelling! When the music, scenery and voiceover mesh together perfectly, it really makes for an incredible video.
The world is a beautiful breath taking place,and the African people are among the most friendliest people you can ever meet, I had the privilege of working throughout Africa for about 30yrs. If I had a wish, I would ask that we could all live happily together. No more wars let’s all pray that we can all join together as one family world wide.
Honestly this feels like a series on Netflix or something, I am literally speechless. The quality the non stop curiosity I had throughout the video was something unmatched on youtube, good job. Subscribed / Liked. Keep it up brother.
The good vibe this guy gives me is so and so amazing, the way he talks about us (people) actually so understanding if you get what he is saying. Great to know there this positive people out there
This is a fantastic example of the video you put out about missing peoples faces.. I saw Happiness, a baby crying, men bieng inquisitive, so many emotions it was fantastic. I've never been outside of the U.S.A, but thi summer I want to save about 40k and travel asia, including the Philippines. You inspire me man! Thank you, long time fan; Kyle.
I've been to the Philippines, I had a difficult time figuring out how to handle the friendly nature of the locals. Awkward, but in a good way. One elderly woman told me that the people are mostly good, churchgoing folk, and only advised that I watch my pockets and avoid the muslim areas. All the kids I walked by would smile at me and say "Hey Joe!" (White foreigner).
Hey! Not sure if you've already gone, but 40k is WAY too much to travel Asia. I spent 3 months all over China the summer before Covid and lived on about 5k which mostly went towards my plane tickets. Maybe add another 2k for some touristy stuff. But yea 40k can get you basically around the entire world. The rest of the world is insanely cheap compared to the US (with the exception of some European countries).
Congo in the house!!! 🇨🇩 thank you for visiting my Country. You must understand Congo is going through a lot that’s why the Governer have to be severely strict.
A new contender for the title of my favorite video you've ever done. I feel like a broken record saying this, but your storytelling skills really are second to none here on RUclips. I was enthralled the entire time. And I love the gems you dropped throughout. "Better not judge when you're in someone else's house or country." And of course, your words about how we segregate and judge even though, at our core, we're all the same and want the same things. Beautiful, exciting, funny, thoughtful, informative. So many of the things I've come to expect from Fearless & Far and so much more. Awesome video as always! 🐉🔥❤️
So happy I found this wholesome human real as it gets channel. Gives me that warm feeling every time I watch it. Keep pushing the content we are thankful to see the world and appreciate the message you portray
Africa's contribution to music is undeniable. In Latin America we wouldn't have most of our awesome music if not for African influence. Great video. Way better than National Geographic for sure. Cheers from COSTA RICA 🇨🇷 👍
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your representation of the African culture and believes. Wish your well in your travels. Love you guy
You are incredibly inspiring. This is only my second video and I have never hit the subscribe button so fast in my life. Your journey and outlook is everything, Here for all of it! Hello from Canada!
This is much more interesting than what you learn in school, the fact that this man brings people into all these diffrent cultures to show all that they have to offer. This is incredible!
This is so beautiful. I cry to every single one of your videos i watch, i feel those people, i wanna be there with them. They have so much knowledge about nature and permaculture its unbelivable. We have so much to learn and its right there in the forrest we go, but instead we lean on something called google. As an example, you can watch someone on youtube filming a tribe gathering resources in the woods, but when you are on the spot with them, you are vulnerable. And that is why you feel alive. Thank you for everything you are the reason many will go to africa to help, and to get help.
Thank you for this video. I lived in Cameroon for years, now in Canada and never saw a content with a fair image and understanding of the way of living of some populations. Bravo - please continue :) I was full of nostalgia during the whole episode
I really love how you mentionned that we cannot judge in other countries. They have no choice to hunt and kill, no matter what species, in that manner to survive! I really enjoyedthis video, I'm glad it showed up on my homepage! Will definitely binge watch your channel this weekend :)
there is always a choice and its not about judging but understanding these people have rich lands, manpower and its clearly not tradition whats holding them back someone benefit from keeping them that way
Well you and Eva certainly go to the extremes alright, you sweating it out in the jungle and her battling a freezing wind storm in Antartica, you are both amazing. The challenge of life is to be challenged and to appreciate every moment that life has given us too often we take things for granted and watching your videos reminds me how blessed I am to live where I live and reminds us that one person’s reality is different to another’s. The hunt to survive is still reality in the jungle, the search for what we want among the the multitude of choices we have in the supermarket is another and we cannot make judgments based on what we consider to be normal in our world. At the end of the day we are all human and have the same basic needs , but as increasing urbanisation of life it takes us further away from the truth of who we really are, something that politicians increasingly exploit for their own ends . Great video 👍👍

Bro at 18:50-19:00 mins into the video, those scenes spoke volumes to me. Its common sense that we are all the same, but to see us coming together with food, shelter, community, we are all humans and that feeling goes deeper then language can comprehend.
One of the best videos ive ever watched on RUclips!! I love adventures! One beautiful item observed here in the communality existing among African communities... See how happy everyone is? Did anyone notice (listen) to the euphonious voices of the locals when they sang? I love this docu-video!
Im really glad that you get the attention you deserve. Looking into your older videos, you can see that you worked your ass off to get where you are now. Finally living the dream. Keep it up an stay safe
You have been blessed with the teaching and love to show the rest of us how much we have changed and not for the better I have so much respect for you and the people who have shown you so much kindness. They don't no you your a stranger but they welcomed you into there lives and home they didn't judge you they welcomed you .they didn't have much but what they had they shared with you.they helped and educated you what a gift .
Truste me I don't want this documentary to end it feel so natural the villagers are so lovely, man u risking everything so show us this kind of video very big thanks to you
Oh my goodness, this was an incredible journey. We could not stop watching. By far some of the best true adventure content on RUclips right now. We hope you are able to keep up these types of adventures as we look forward to following along.
I love your channel and your videos. The messages you spread to ppl in your videos are much needed for this world. Love, kindness, unity, working together, the lack of separation amongst many many others is absolutely amazing!! Well done
Our beautiful Congo...So happy to see you enjoying the simpler life. I miss my family in Kinshasa...You wouldn't have had to trade a crocodile for a bed at my grandmother's home! Stay blessed
You just became one of my favorite channels on RUclips my guy ! Love your content i can only imagine all the things you went through off camera. Can’t wait to see the uncut version
To anybody reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind may clarity replace confusion. And may peace and calmness fill your life.
Thank you so much for doing all these wonderful videos!!! There so uplifting to see the different cultures and just to see people so happy!! You’ve impacted so many life’s and I think that’s just amazing, you’ve also encouraged me to try and do these different things that are a little out of my Comfort zone. Thank you again!!
Absolutely INSANE quality of content, how is this not premium??? Honestly leaves a lot of thought for me, this is a very refreshing experience. Thank you
When it came to the Crocodile, he said it’s better not to judge when you are in someone else’s house or country but in certain parts of America, people hunt an eat Alligator. I have had Fried Alligator and it is delicious. The singing from the two guys was the incredible, absolutely enjoyed that.
First video I am about to see from this channel, but I can already see from the thumbnail and channel name that this is something unique. Subscribed before even watching
I have always been spiritually connected to the Congo , It is said that my ancestors (Aawambo of Namibia) always proclaimed that they came from a land of great lakes and rivers, Which is assumed to be the Congo , It is so nice to watch such raw videos of the beautiful Congo, I shall visit one day.

There are plenty of wisdom and philosophy in your reportage. This is heart warming and good lessons to take for anyone aware of others and willing to travel.keep doing the good work and make us dream
Please watch Jim Nduruchi
That's the beauty of it. You can watch an episode a dozen times and still find something new to learn on some level. It's almost like how The Simpsons is funny on multiple levels and each time you watch an episode you find a new thing to laugh at. Only with wisdom and insight instead of laughter. Well, there's some laughter too. Which is the icing on the cake.
These lines we draw on the sands, thinking we're different but we're not, the moment we realize we're all the same, suffering will end. I can truly relate to this, you have my respect and I truly appreciate what you're doing for the world.
"lines we draw on the sands", very well said.
We draw these lines because, while we are the same , the experiences are very different . This guy has a waaaaaaay different set of opportunities and lives a life where he gets to point to where he wants to go , or choose what he wants to do . Iv lived in African countries volunteering and I must say that the image of a romanticized Africa becomes different when you realize that they don’t get to choose whether or not living like them is an “adventure “ vs a way of life . Most people watching this don’t realize that many can’t choose to jump teams whenever they feel they want to . I like this guys content it’s great , just thought I would mention this .
@@andrescardenas2958 What you say is true, but it seems like you’re missing the message. He is saying that even though these people live differently from us that we shouldn’t view them as different or inferior. Precisely because they may not be able to change their station in life. Any of us could have easily been born into their same situation.
I love this people
@@ambi3nttech Well said mate.
The storytelling and editing of this video is on another level! Amazing.
Best compliment. Thank you 🐉
THANK YOU!! For these wonderful videos, for living my dream, for combating ignorance, and showing how human we all really are. Especially in this video, the minute between 18:20-19:25, just outstanding. I have enjoyed every video so far! All done with class, humility, and respect. The best travel/documentary films I've found so far and you have single-handedly taught me so much about a personal interest: The Congo Region and its people. Here's to life, love, nature, and adventure! Keep living the dream brother! 💚🌍
This guys ability to really do anything and have a positive attitude while doing it with empathy is incredible and inspiring. These are awesome! I just started and love them!
this is honestly one of the best vlog adventures i've seen in forever. brilliant filming / editing and story telling. awesome work Mike!
As a member of the Congolese community we would kindly like to give you our citizenship 😊 love love this whole video, you gained your a new subscriber❤️❤️❤️

Are you the representative? So quick to give random white people a pass….

It’s so amazing & heartwarming seeing two completely different cultures so welcoming with eachother. I love hearing everyone sing. I’ve always wanted to do what your doing! Travel and meet all of the worlds amazing people & places & things 😁 There’s so many amazing places out there. YOUR LIVING THE LIFE MAN! Happy New Years everyone 🎉 I wish you all nothing but the best 😊
So happy I found this channel … feels like travelling along. What a journey!!! Africa is so beautiful 🖤
I live in Africa, yes it is very beautiful ngl
This is insane. I can confidently say I could never do this. The fear of what lurks in those jungles brings a different fear to light for me.
*What is the Gospel?*
The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Romans 10:9
9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
JESUS CHRIST can come anytime!
REPENT OF YOUR SINS Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS

@@tama3442 tf u here for
@@tama3442 there goes that religions nut that every RUclips channel has 💀
@@tama3442 God died for our sins? Aka the knowledge he forbid from us? Well Satan died for our free will. If we're made in gods image then "God" should have fashioned us in a way for us to not attain the knowledge. But he didn't. Cause he dumb lmao
People are noticing the skill behind your storytelling! When the music, scenery and voiceover mesh together perfectly, it really makes for an incredible video.
Thank you for your kindness and for allowing me to travel with you, without leaving my home
Loved the video man, the way you tell a story is nothing short of incredible. Love seeing how no matter who we are we can all connect as humans ❤️
Thanks bro. Storytelling is a skill I’ve worked on for years, that people don’t often recognize. I appreciate these compliments a lot. 🐉
This is the energy people need. Spreading love and happiness while informing us. Well done sir. Greetings from🇬🇧
Holy crap those 2 men singing together had amazing vocals and they harmonized very well. I'd never had have heard them if it wasn't for you. Thank you
It was very catchy as well.
The world is a beautiful breath taking place,and the African people are among the most friendliest people you can ever meet, I had the privilege of working throughout Africa for about 30yrs. If I had a wish, I would ask that we could all live happily together. No more wars let’s all pray that we can all join together as one family world wide.
Those little children are the most adorable and they are so naturally inquisitive with the outsider. Love Africa’s humanity
Honestly this feels like a series on Netflix or something, I am literally speechless. The quality the non stop curiosity I had throughout the video was something unmatched on youtube, good job. Subscribed / Liked. Keep it up brother.
Couldn’t say it better my self I was so intrigued
The good vibe this guy gives me is so and so amazing, the way he talks about us (people) actually so understanding if you get what he is saying. Great to know there this positive people out there
Man, those harmonies at 15:00 are strikingly beautiful!
I started watching at the part where you broke down how we as humans naturally segregate. People are people it's love! -yes!!!
Hmm
Yes, chopping a crocodile up. Totally love.
This is a fantastic example of the video you put out about missing peoples faces.. I saw Happiness, a baby crying, men bieng inquisitive, so many emotions it was fantastic. I've never been outside of the U.S.A, but thi summer I want to save about 40k and travel asia, including the Philippines. You inspire me man! Thank you, long time fan; Kyle.
I've been to the Philippines, I had a difficult time figuring out how to handle the friendly nature of the locals. Awkward, but in a good way. One elderly woman told me that the people are mostly good, churchgoing folk, and only advised that I watch my pockets and avoid the muslim areas.
All the kids I walked by would smile at me and say "Hey Joe!" (White foreigner).
Hey! Not sure if you've already gone, but 40k is WAY too much to travel Asia. I spent 3 months all over China the summer before Covid and lived on about 5k which mostly went towards my plane tickets. Maybe add another 2k for some touristy stuff. But yea 40k can get you basically around the entire world. The rest of the world is insanely cheap compared to the US (with the exception of some European countries).
Come to Africa kenya
Congo in the house!!! 🇨🇩 thank you for visiting my Country. You must understand Congo is going through a lot that’s why the Governer have to be severely strict.
I absolutely love this man’s upbeat attitude! Even when times are tough! Love this channel.
A new contender for the title of my favorite video you've ever done. I feel like a broken record saying this, but your storytelling skills really are second to none here on RUclips. I was enthralled the entire time. And I love the gems you dropped throughout. "Better not judge when you're in someone else's house or country." And of course, your words about how we segregate and judge even though, at our core, we're all the same and want the same things. Beautiful, exciting, funny, thoughtful, informative. So many of the things I've come to expect from Fearless & Far and so much more. Awesome video as always! 🐉🔥❤️
So happy I found this wholesome human real as it gets channel. Gives me that warm feeling every time I watch it. Keep pushing the content we are thankful to see the world and appreciate the message you portray
19:17 this is so beautiful! I love it!!! How amazing and brave of you to go and do this ! Never know what could happen. Truly one of a kind !
Africa's contribution to music is undeniable. In Latin America we wouldn't have most of our awesome music if not for African influence. Great video. Way better than National Geographic for sure. Cheers from COSTA RICA 🇨🇷 👍
The Kongos brought it here
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your representation of the African culture and believes. Wish your well in your travels. Love you guy
BEST TRAVEL CHANNEL ON RUclips
You got a good one yourself 💪🏻🐉
Two 🐐s

Harald Baldr a rlly good one too i watch you too dokota
Big fan from india 🇮🇳
I love your positivity and calmness when entering unknown territories even if it’s not accustomed you respect tradition.
it's not about what you show or make in your videos, it's about the happiness and confidence i feel when watching your videos.
You are incredibly inspiring. This is only my second video and I have never hit the subscribe button so fast in my life. Your journey and outlook is everything, Here for all of it! Hello from Canada!
Belinda, thanks so much. There's lots to catch up on! Which has been your fav so far?
@@fearlessandfar I started and fell in love with "Painful rites of passage with the Mursi tribe" Will continue to watch!
This is fucking awesome. These videos should be seen by millions
This is much more interesting than what you learn in school, the fact that this man brings people into all these diffrent cultures to show all that they have to offer. This is incredible!
You are something else. Truly one of a kind. I'm not even jealous, I am just happy that people like you exist fam. From Alaska, Charley
This is so beautiful. I cry to every single one of your videos i watch, i feel those people, i wanna be there with them. They have so much knowledge about nature and permaculture its unbelivable. We have so much to learn and its right there in the forrest we go, but instead we lean on something called google. As an example, you can watch someone on youtube filming a tribe gathering resources in the woods, but when you are on the spot with them, you are vulnerable. And that is why you feel alive. Thank you for everything you are the reason many will go to africa to help, and to get help.
THE children holding up that terrified kid in the B roll is priceless poor kid AMAZING CONTENT SO BEAUTIFUL TO EXPLORE THE WORLD THROUGH PEOPLES EYES
These videos give me chills and a smile from ear to ear, thank you for documenting these adventures and for meeting so many wonderful human beings.
then I see distended bellies with lightening hair and feel sad that people are still starving on our planet...
This is outstanding content, dude. Where has this channel been all my life? I can't get enough.
If you’re new here, may I recommend “Bulls of Fire”, and “Hanging by Hooks” 2 of my personal faves that don’t get much love ❤️
Thank you for this video. I lived in Cameroon for years, now in Canada and never saw a content with a fair image and understanding of the way of living of some populations. Bravo - please continue :) I was full of nostalgia during the whole episode
Awww
I really love how you mentionned that we cannot judge in other countries. They have no choice to hunt and kill, no matter what species, in that manner to survive! I really enjoyedthis video, I'm glad it showed up on my homepage! Will definitely binge watch your channel this weekend :)
Thats a tropical country. When i see all the clothes there wearing, i can judge how the are influence and brainwash by occidental false moral.......
there is always a choice
and its not about judging but understanding
these people have rich lands, manpower and its clearly not tradition whats holding them back
someone benefit from keeping them that way
@@morewinter8058 very true
They have chickens and pigs. Why eat a croc
Man jungle men
You playing with the villagers at the beginning was so heart warming
Well you and Eva certainly go to the extremes alright, you sweating it out in the jungle and her battling a freezing wind storm in Antartica, you are both amazing.
The challenge of life is to be challenged and to appreciate every moment that life has given us too often we take things for granted and watching your videos reminds me how blessed I am to live where I live and reminds us that one person’s reality is different to another’s.
The hunt to survive is still reality in the jungle, the search for what we want among the the multitude of choices we have in the supermarket is another and we cannot make judgments based on what we consider to be normal in our world.
At the end of the day we are all human and have the same basic needs , but as increasing urbanisation of life it takes us further away from the truth of who we really are, something that politicians increasingly exploit for their own ends .
Great video 👍👍
This was incredible
guys your videos are awesome too I watch them every time!
No he is incredible ♥️🤛

True, unlike that time you got too high on mdma and couldn't even finish making a video so you came up with a bullshit excuse
Do you watch Jim Nduruchi
Bro at 18:50-19:00 mins into the video, those scenes spoke volumes to me. Its common sense that we are all the same, but to see us coming together with food, shelter, community, we are all humans and that feeling goes deeper then language can comprehend.
That acapella duo literally gave me goosebumps. What an amazing experience!
One of the best videos ive ever watched on RUclips!!
I love adventures!
One beautiful item observed here in the communality existing among African communities... See how happy everyone is?
Did anyone notice (listen) to the euphonious voices of the locals when they sang?
I love this docu-video!
I’m from Congo, I really appreciate your humility. Keep it up.
Im really glad that you get the attention you deserve. Looking into your older videos, you can see that you worked your ass off to get where you are now. Finally living the dream. Keep it up an stay safe
You have been blessed with the teaching and love to show the rest of us how much we have changed and not for the better I have so much respect for you and the people who have shown you so much kindness. They don't no you your a stranger but they welcomed you into there lives and home they didn't judge you they welcomed you .they didn't have much but what they had they shared with you.they helped and educated you what a gift .
Truste me I don't want this documentary to end it feel so natural the villagers are so lovely, man u risking everything so show us this kind of video very big thanks to you
Oh my goodness, this was an incredible journey. We could not stop watching. By far some of the best true adventure content on RUclips right now. We hope you are able to keep up these types of adventures as we look forward to following along.
Where is Foreign Aid?
This channel is so underrated. The great story telling and true authenticity makes these videos so interesting and fun to watch!
I love your channel and your videos. The messages you spread to ppl in your videos are much needed for this world. Love, kindness, unity, working together, the lack of separation amongst many many others is absolutely amazing!! Well done
I really love your story telling,and how you fully immerse yourself to the culture and humble yourself... excellent work!
Our beautiful Congo...So happy to see you enjoying the simpler life. I miss my family in Kinshasa...You wouldn't have had to trade a crocodile for a bed at my grandmother's home! Stay blessed
You’re from there? Amazing! I’d love to go one day
You just became one of my favorite channels on RUclips my guy ! Love your content i can only imagine all the things you went through off camera. Can’t wait to see the uncut version
Am short of words, the way u tell the story, if only the world had just 10 of you...God bless u for sharing these amazing moments with us
To anybody reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind may clarity replace confusion. And may peace and calmness fill your life.
Thank you so much for doing all these wonderful videos!!! There so uplifting to see the different cultures and just to see people so happy!! You’ve impacted so many life’s and I think that’s just amazing, you’ve also encouraged me to try and do these different things that are a little out of my Comfort zone. Thank you again!!
Absolutely INSANE quality of content, how is this not premium??? Honestly leaves a lot of thought for me, this is a very refreshing experience. Thank you
When it came to the Crocodile, he said it’s better not to judge when you are in someone else’s house or country but in certain parts of America, people hunt an eat Alligator. I have had Fried Alligator and it is delicious. The singing from the two guys was the incredible, absolutely enjoyed that.
They're a bit bigger, even the commercially raised ones, easier to get larger cuts without boiling 1st
First video I am about to see from this channel, but I can already see from the thumbnail and channel name that this is something unique. Subscribed before even watching
Good prediction ❤️
I could probably tell that this is one of the best RUclips channel of all time ♥️
As I always say, totally underrated channel. 👏🏻
Those two men singing brought me to tears, so beautiful. You can feel their connection with each other.
Oh man, you may be my new hero! I love the depths in which you ventured and how genuine these people are. Kudos. Cheers!
It was indeed "fearless and far", Mike! We've missed you here in the Philippines. ❤️
Really beautiful 😢😢😢 Thank you for showing my country in its amazing facet.
I have always been spiritually connected to the Congo , It is said that my ancestors (Aawambo of Namibia) always proclaimed that they came from a land of great lakes and rivers, Which is assumed to be the Congo , It is so nice to watch such raw videos of the beautiful Congo, I shall visit one day.
