    Nice one Nic. Next time pull the ladder out and use the ladder to pull the tent open. Makes life much easier.
    Safe travels mate.

    Hi Nick, it´s always nice to watch an overlander like you having a braai over a fire at the end of long driving and exploring day. I´m always curios about what other people eat when they go camping. We like to keep it simple in this regards; some meat, butternut with feta and spinach or with garlic and mushrooms, or just some Oklahoma Burgers with lots of onions. 🤩

    Ek is ook mal oor Spitzkoppe, gaan daar elke jaar vir klim saam met die mountain club. Rock climbing word hoofsaaklik in die Winder maande gedoen, die res van die jaar is te warm om te klim, dehydration gebeur maar vinnig as dit te warm is. Het jy geweet die Rock Arch het 'n voet padtjie van die ander kant af; as jy van die ander kant af loop is dit makliker om tot onder die arch te kom. Ek het gehoor die Rock Pool het nou weer water gekry, iemand wat ek ken was einde Januarie 2023 daar gewees.

    Never realised you were so fit!😀RTT all the way - no scorpions or cobras! We have three ground tents - remain unused. Clamshell RTT is the way to go - 30 seconds up or down but most are not as spacious as yours. BunduTop is nice but expensive just press a button! We combine our RTT with a gazebo on the ground for cooking (you can't always braai due to weather) /wind shelter and shade. Works well.

    @5410Africa, put long cable ties onto your zippers... worked a treat on my Land Rover. Also, use the ladder to pull over the top section, and reduce your ladder by. run or two, to get the tent even.

    Hi, I hv been following you for your Namibia tour. Our forth coming trip next yr will be Keetmanshoop, Deadvlei, Walvis Bay, Swakopmund and Spitkoppe, kind of a loop. Besides the last 4km towards Deadvlei which I'm aware requiring 4x4 drive, can the rest of our journey as listed use 2x4? We intend just to take the shutter bus in Deadvlei. Because I feel is not worth to pay for 4x4 car just because of that little 4km stretch of our estimated 2,000km. Tks
