#20 More Than Water To Worry About... (In Namibia)

Three river crossings in one day is always exciting!
But as we get nearer and nearer to our first real taste of civilisation in over a month, I also had other impending things to deal with... life is easier in the bush!
This is the story of a year long LD stay in Namibia..... with you in the passenger seat!
Please let me know what you think in the comments section, I'm always interested to know who enjoys my films, and where your from!
My ability to edit these films is entirely dependent on your kind assistance.

Leopards: there’s just been an attack in Kgalagadi with a leopard trying to get into a roof top tent. Climbed the ladder and ripped at the side netting 😬😬😬😬😬

[@roamingyak]

Sadly I'm not surprised - a lot of people leaving water for animals at the campsites and some probably feeding as well, so they get used to coming around... www.express.co.uk/news/world/1880635/leopard-attack-south-africa-tent-camping latestsightings.com/single-post/update-on-the-leopard-that-attacked-a-camper-in-kgalagadi

Such fantastic high quality story telling! How is this not getting 2 million views per episode??!

[@roamingyak]

Good question mate!! 🤣

[@henrygreen19]

And once again you kept your word, delivering another great episode in your quest 'to do some shopping' ! Fully enjoyed and appreciate your candid manner in painting the 'real' picture at your end. We who follows you rarely bear in mind that you are totally and completely all by yourself - we rarely being aware that by presenting to us you actually use it as a means of having some sort of human contact. Great job and great episodes. Safe travels and looking forward to the next one. Best for now.

[@grahamshaw1343]

Great chilled storytelling. Keep living your best life. An inspiration.

[@roamingyak]

Oh! Thank you Graham, I'm really glad your enjoying it!

[@monnawapye1995]

Bit of a cliffhanger there!

[@roamingyak]

Stay tuned! 😂😀

[@donbar6480]

Good show

[@roamingyak]

Glad you enjoyed it! Doing my best!

[@adam_and_ollie]

The scenery keeps getting better and better with each episode!

[@roamingyak]

As does the quality of my comments section!

[@roamingyak]

I hope you enjoy this one as much as I loved your comments on the last one! Keep them coming please!

[@stuartrollings602]

Howdy RY! Quite the storyteller you are! Well the realistic side of solo adventure is dramatically playing out with you isn’t it? The journey makes the reality of what living in the wild can and will do to anyone! So glad the only leopard is riding on your dashboard..if that was an elephant trumpet at the end of your last episode then we may be in for some interesting action! Thanks for the share , much admiration for your efforts! 🤠🇺🇸🇨🇱🥃

[@roamingyak]

This travel, and the editing afterwards leads to quite a solitary life... perhaps best summed up by this song from a man that I'm sure most Texans also love: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4C5eaGNrqmgmtk So enthusiastic comments from the very few people who watch my films are +greatly+ appreciated. Without any kind of human feedback or financial reward, there is little point in continuing, so huge 'thanks mate!' to you!!!! 😃😃🎸

[@stuartrollings602]

@@roamingyak what a great man and song! Baie Dankie!

[@nikokisting6189]

Thanks, Darren, for taking us along on your very unique travels. Kaokoland is very beautiful and very special. Worked there for a few months some years ago and just loved it! All of the best, from a Namibian admirer. 🙏💖🌍

[@roamingyak]

Really glad you enjoyed it Niko, and thanks very very very much for leaving a comment, its the only feedback i get from the many days of work it takes to make each episode. It's always interested and exciting to hear who is enjoying each one...

[@deriusnorris4463]

Brilliant. Thanks for the content.

[@roamingyak]

Your welcome mate!

[@martinqualters608]

I would like to ask all your subscribers to play every video you upload multiple times. Just play it in the background after you've watched it.....lets get this guy some more subs, your getting quality content for free, it's the least we can do, and comment and share and smash that like button.

[@roamingyak]

Thanks mate 🤗 The best things to do to help any channel are: - to watch the videos right to the end. If every viewer watched 100% of a channels video's, then YT knows if they promote it, people will likely stay on the YT for its full length so they can serve Ad's. If people usually only watch 20% of your videos, then its a big risk for YT to promote it. Seems they give a new video some exposure for 24 hours, but if this statistic is low, they drop it from promotion. - share the channel on social media etc so its promotion is not reliant on the YT engine to promote it Likes and kind comments certainly help as well!! Ultimately I'll need to be mostly funded by Patreons and YT Channel Memberships, lets see how many I can get by the end of the year!

[@martinqualters608]

Mate I watch your content multiple times in full and I always let the adverts run in full for the reasons you said. I would also like to encourage conversations in your comments.

[@roamingyak]

I don't think there is a greater compliment that can be given than 'willing to watch adverts in full' to help your channel!!! Thanks for suffering through them for me😀😀😀@@martinqualters608

[@martinqualters608]

You're a fantastic film maker Darrin, but you'll never make it as a singer bud.....harsh but true. Great episode mate.

[@roamingyak]

I'm the Kiwi Elvis, the Namibian Barry White, or at least top five on youtube Landy desert blues singers!?? 😂😂🤣🤣

[@martinqualters608]

Namibian Barry White, made me laugh out loud.... that never happens with me, cos I'm a miserable old git, haha

[@deriusnorris4463]

Lol😂 ​@@roamingyak

[@nikokisting6189]

When you're in Windhoek again, please give me a call.

[@roamingyak]

Windhoek in Namibia? Isn't that in Africa?!?! I'd never go to Africa! Far too interesting and beautiful and fun 😃😍😄😀

[@arnethorkildsen1812]

Great video!

[@roamingyak]

Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed it 😀

[@arnethorkildsen1812]

Do you ever use your awning 😂

[@roamingyak]

Not too often to be honest... it is too hard to put up and down when you are one person...
