    Excellent Video and really enjoyed it. Just one thing. Please mention Campsite names, roads travels etc.IInfo like this is nice to have and will help a lot

      @@MyLifeinAfrica Found it. The place with the Madwaeni sign and the cool dog is UITSPANKRAAL WILD CAMPING AND PUB. GPS coordinates- 32 02 30.60S 19 24 36.04E. The turn-off is at Mertenhof farm, turn right (If you coming from the Wuppertal side) They did not want to mention where they stayed for some silly stupid reason. I thought that real overlanders share little gems as they call them. Bunch of wannabes

      please explain how this makes me a wannabe? I'm entitled to do what I want on my channel... feel free to unsubscribe from my channel instead of hurling insults which make you look like an asshole...

      Quintas First you complement Roland on the video then you call him a wannabee. There is a reason we keep places quiet, often on request of the owners. It's to keep certain secrets and little gems just that. When the hords descend they change the character of places. Don't be a doos. If you find little gems keep them thus.

      Hey Bradley, likewise man, was awesome meeting you, hope you enjoyed the new episode! You should join on one of the tours this year for sure. The switch used to be my spots and lightbar switch, but those have moved now somewhere else. Instead of having a hole I've just left it there now...😂🤣

      @@MyLifeinAfrica Ok, I thought that might be the case.
      A bit too conspicuous to put a kill switch there. (Might be able to use it as a cut off to your 12v setup in case of emergency. 🤷‍♂️)
      Those switches that fit in the dash where the blanks are, are very nice.
      So far I am really enjoying the video.
