      Go, go, go, BUT take your time when there. Namibia in a rush will not be pleasurable. You will try to fit all the main highlights and miss the good part, the in between, all that we love from Namibia. The open spaces, free roaming wildlife, the changing weather, the diversity of landscapes, incredible sunsets and some of the best starry nights ever.

      Absolutely no one. The only ones that got remotely close were the ones flying over us! And well that's talking about two-leged ones, but wild animals plenty everywhere. But very sneaky and difficult to capture.

      It helps us a lot!! The camera we got is second hand but the next model of the last, and it is more capable. We can record 4K now if we want! 850$ it's a bit hit to our budget so your contribution indeed helps us ton. Thank you so much for following along and supporting our work. ❤️ Greetings from South America (yeap, that's right).

    Have you had any moments on your travels where you wish you had a winch? My wife and I will be heading to Africa in a couple of years in our 130 which currently doesn’t have a winch, I really don’t want to fit one, weight mostly, I just wondered if you would fit one knowing what you now know?

    • @Thebluelandy
      @Thebluelandy  Год назад +2

      Hey, the only reason why I would miss a winch is cause it looks cool 😂. Everyone that has a winch keeps telling me they use it all the time. We never had one and never really missed one. When you are stuck you need get creative with or without winch.
      We almost never got stuck in a place where we would have had anything to attach the winch cable to...
      Proper sandboards easy to access are more helpful in my opinion.
      No, for an overland touring vehicle I would not fit a winch.
      On a work/farm truck I might think about it.

      I'm reading a lot of assumptions, and accuses. If I remember it right, how that farm is run, whats the size of the plot, how the owners interact with the community was never a topic of this video. So please don't judge about something, that's not touched. We’re just sharing our experiences while we were invited to this place.

      @Thebluelandy  Год назад +5

      Hey! Thank you for your comment! No, this is not unusual. The majority of farmland in Namibia is privately own. Mostly for livestock, but there are also farms dedicated to game viewing and hunting. The land sizes vary, but normally are extensive as due to the type of semi arid nature, one needs to have more hectares to feed cattle. Hope this information helps !! ☺️
