  • Footpeg Diaries Episode 38: Botswana Kgalagadi - Navigating Africa’s Wildest Dunes
    "The Land of Thirst," a series set against the awe-inspiring and formidable landscapes of the Kgalagadi desert. Prepare for a ride that blends the thrill of adventure with the stark beauty of one of the world's most challenging terrains.
    As we traverse the vast, shifting sands of the Kgalagadi, each dune tells a story of endurance and the spirit of adventure. Our journey is marked by wild camping under expansive African skies, where the stars are our canopy and the distant roars of wildlife our nightly serenade. The challenges are as unpredictable as the desert itself-from navigating paths that disappear with the wind to encountering the majestic wildlife that calls this harsh landscape home.
    Join us for this first episode that promises not just a ride, but a testament to resilience and the wild heart of adventure biking. "The Land of Thirst" is more than a series; it's an ultimate test of spirit and camaraderie among riders who dare to face the untamed wilderness.

    You are doing a excellent job. Thank you for sharing the adventure with us. Fanie, thank you for not hiding what has happened. People needs to know that when you are not 100% it is smart to pull back. Keep up the good work.

    01:15 Here's a tip from someone who has put hundreds of vinyl stickers/decals on cars during many years of motorsport - get a bucket of warm water and add a little Sunlight dishwashing liquid to it. Using a sponge or chamois, thoroughly wet the car body panel where you want to place the sticker. Then remove the vinyl sticker/decal from its backing paper and thoroughly wet the sticky side (yes, the sticky side) of the sticker with the soapy water. If it's a big sticker (like yours) get someone to help you to hold it out flat and then place it into position onto the wet body panel. The sticker will not stick to the body so now you can move it around and get it properly aligned up-and-down, left-and-right until it is perfect. Then using the sponge and starting from the centre of the sticker, squeegee the water out to the edges. Think of the British Union Jack flag and work from the centre of the sticker to the four corners and four sides. Once you have done that use a credit card to do the final squeegee process and then your sticker will be in the exact spot you want it, without any air bubbles or wrinkles and there to stay until you peel it off.

    Looks like an awesome trip guys, looking forward to the next episode. Tough call Fanie, you made the right call at the time, don't dwell on it or beat yourself up over it ... let's rather go practise in some sandy areas this side of the border 😉 ...West Coast is the Best Coast 👌

    Fanie, ek voel jou tjom, ek het baie km's kalahari sand gery op n scooter.., full motox tires is die beste opsie vir daai sand
    Ek sal dit nie eers probeer het met die wat jy op die bike gehad het nie

      @@faniescholtz3822 dit sou beslis n groot verskil maak want jy ken jou bike se nukke en grille. By gesê, as jy nog nie gesuffer het en geval het in daai Kalahari sand nie het jy nog nie die betekenis van moedeloosheid ontdek nie. Ek weet, want was baie daar voor ek daai sand kon waardeer op n bike.
      Maar moenie vergeet nie, ons wat al daar was weet hoe moeilik dit is, jys n yster, jy sal daai sand wen💪💪💪
