  • A new edit of a 26-part series, now in 3 parts. The 66-day expedition to find the source of the Okavango River. The expedition explores Namibia, Angola and Botswana. This was shot in 2010 and broadcast on South African, Belgian and Russian TV. Pandemic issues have resulted in no global expeditions for two years now, so I'm releasing new-edit of material shot over the past decade. I hope you enjoy them.

    I haven't seen all of your innumerable videos yet. However, this video which encompasses Namibia, Angola and Botswana and the excerpts from your childhood is priceless! You're definitely a one-of-a-kind overlander and storyteller. Greetings from Oregon!

    I'm speechless at the brutality of Cassinga and yet this is just another typical War driven mass killings area that we seen to find around war torn areas throughout the world.
    I may be wrong but in Africa there is always a hint of going the extra mile to let blood.
    Thank you for another video Andrew, this one is more thought provoking.

    Love it…the absolute zenith of your career for me Andrew…lots of travel, lots of interesting info… hardly any mention of the vehicle, which is only the means to the end. This….this is the kind of travel I long to do, and the fact that someone films it to feed that thirst is awesome…thanks. Australia offers sooo much opportunity for this kind of adventure filmmaking!

    I doubt the SADF killed woman and kids. Andrew, I noticed you illicit that side of the argument. He said it had 150 officers and that means a lot more men at arms, and guerrillas

    • @4xoverland
      @4xoverland  2 года назад +2

      I absolutely do not illicit that side of the argument. You are seeing this because you are defending the SADF, and I won't. Because if I do, that would be taking sides! And I will not do that. I'm not easily taken in by propaganda. And the SADF and SA government were masters of it. To think otherwise is just naive.

    I really have to complain about this Video. I have to work. But i can’t stop watching this. It’s far to interesting, has far to good pictures, far to good camp-spots to stop watching. Would you mind to make just short, rubbish clips? Black and white? Without sound? :D. (Thanks for uploading! Great piece!)

Ive lived in Papua New Guinea and my father had a FJ lander cruiser. Great little trucks. I have a 2000 Prado 95 series with 402,700km on it and still never skips a beat!

    If you want absolute solitude, look at Alaska. I've found no other place where even fewer dare tread. Just take twice the amount of time to prepare than normal, whatever normal is. You will understand once you're there. Your episode of sportsmobile-mohave road trail, USA is by far my favorite of all your travels. Your reaction to reading the plaque was priceless and motivation for people to adventure was proper as proper gets. God speed in your endeavors.

    Mr. White, this is a real great piece of your work. I've seen lots of your material on RUclips and I like the way you make your films!
    Little correction to the "light Russian Truck" around minute 36:
    This is a so called "IFA W50" made in the eastern part of Germany the GDR, as it was departed from Western Germany about 40 years til 1989. It was the Truck in Eastern Germany which was seen very frequently on the streets! Available as a 4x4 in agriculture or in military.

    A small suggestion, if I may. The narration parts are noticeably louder than the parts spoken in front of the camera. I kept having to adjust the volume on my tv between. Some sort of audio normalization would be nice.

    I'm having a thought that sticks with me for a few days: what if Australia, being on the extra cautious side of the pandemic will make it extremely difficult for you to chase your plans? I know, you now planted your roots there with family, house, grandchild and all. But if this Covid thing is here to stay - as it seems it definitely is through countless variants - it might almost ruin your international travel plans given Australia stricter rules.

One question I have to ask, when you went to the Delta Camp and the guides took you to the island by canoe and you saw the buffalo what would the guides do if a lion or leopard came after you guys are the guides armed to be able to frighten off the lions?
