FIXING PUMBA!

[@alwaysuseless]

Wow, this was up for 2 minutes, & full HD was available! I would have been so frustrated if I'd had to drive back & forth like that to get parts & then have a part missing, then the wrong part, & then the right part not available until the next day. But you were cool. I wonder if you were so cool because you were on camera? After all, you don't want to lose it in front of a quarter of a million subscribers! But no, you just took it in stride & captured a beautiful shot of an incredible number of kite skiers out on the waves while you were at it! I'm surprised they don't get their lines entangled! Looking forward to more adventures now that Pumba may behave herself for a while. ㋡

[@Futsalfreekicker]

It's in HD because he had it scheduled to upload but KZbin made it private so he had to make it public...

[@alwaysuseless]

***** *but KZbin... Thanks! That explains it!

[@tasty2choc]

i'm wondering, why didn't he drop his car at LR in the first place? ..getting car parts yourself and bringing them to the contracted workshop seems very odd.

[@alwaysuseless]

tasty2choc Indeed, his driving back & forth between the two was strange. I've never done that. Perhaps he would have saved time & money IF he'd been able to deliver **all the correct parts** the first time.

[@msbeyoutiful17]

I've been watching your vlogs for about a month now & I get so happy when I see that they're up. I will go a few days without watching but then go back and catch up on all the ones I missed just because I enjoy you and your adventures so much. I'm so happy that you're enjoying life and experiencing so many cool things because you deserve it. Keep doing what you're doing & I'm sure you will go far. Have a great day!

[@kaykayash8985]

Ben I love that you are such a laid back chilled out guy! You have such a positive attitude to everything you do

[@AntoineFrt]

December 30, 2013...the day I subscribed to this channel. After looking at vlogs from a few days ago, I was unsure whether or not to subscribe (you were vlogging from your iPhone...thanks African Internet!). A year has past and I don't regret it at all. I've seen how beautiful Cape Town is, followed you in Costa Rica where the forest were stunning but at times, your emotions showed you were struggling. London, Alberta, Toronto, New York, Chicago..this is starting to sound like a Pit Bull song, isn't it! Can't wait for 2015! Ski trip up to Canada, roadtrips across Africa, and certainly more. Looking forward to following you, Nicole, Dan, Ingrid, and the one and only, SP Matt. Take care, Ben!

[@nickdanforth]

Repairs always sucked when we were living in a camper van, but always worth it! Wouldn't trade those adventures for anything in the world. Stay stoked, mate!

[@TJANDMAC]

Ben ! I wonder if the guy you bought the Rover off is watching and thinking, "glad I sold that thing"...

[@benbrown]

I doubt it haha, even with all this work it was still a bargain.

[@TJANDMAC]

Good point !

[@antareszapata6931]

I love the choice of music for this vlog. Really goes well with the scenery. Keep it coming Ben 😍😍

[@itsmebrandaman]

I'm in Europe travelling with friends and I still get to see my home everyday. Right down to the pick n pay I shop at, and the beach I go to everyday! Happy new year all.👊

[@saoudag]

Just recently started watching these vlogs and they make me miss SA so much. Just wanted to wish Ben a belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! One of the most fascinating youtubers. Always anticipating your next vlog Ben! - well wishes from Saudi Arabia!

[@hihelloemma9026]

I have such vlog envy of South Africa! One day I hope I can visit but awesome vlogs this year Ben! So excited for the new year and what it brings you and all of us watching xx

[@jordanbennett4963]

Ben is an inspiration to live life to the fullest and make the most of every opportunity!

[@JustMurrayTV]

You and louis got me into vlogging and I'm so glad I'm finally travelling at the same time! Vlogging in Cambodia right now and constantly watching your video's for inspiration man, keep up the creativity and positivity

[@alvinwcy]

hope pumba is alright. i'm having heaps of problems with my vehicles too! also got the topo design backpack. thanks for the tip!

[@heatk]

Poor Pumba. Going through so much. Thanks for another awesome video. ☺️👍✨

[@jackleahy7133]

Lovely video Ben, Love watching you're vlogs!

[@DopeInc7]

Ben! Been watching your Vlogs forever now and just wanted to say thank you! For inspiring me and many others with you positive attitude and desire to make the most of life. Okay Bye!

[@ShaunHuxley]

Loving the Vlogs Ben, so jealous that you can have a BBQ in December and be outside nearly all day!

[@PhoenixLibra83]

YOU are everything, THIS vlog was everything! Ther music was soooooooo good, so calming, this was just awesome to watch.

[@MatthewMollet]

The best vlogs 👍

[@ElvynBliss]

Completely agreed! Please come over to my videos and tell me what I am doing wrong :D maybe you like it too :)

[@CarrenaBoone]

Yay I've been waiting for your vlog today! I've been binge watching your videos all day.

[@amissyr]

hope pumba will be sorted out soon! can't wait for tomorrow's vlog!

[@juk61]

music was on point, benny boiii! x

[@laurareidy3603]

Nicole looks so lovely in that dress! So summery too!

[@joshuapangilinan41]

Ben you inspire me to become an awesome photographer and vlogger!!!

[@TorontoKing23]

Yes another vlog!! Thanks Ben

[@elliotjwills509]

No offence Ben but... this has to be my favourite vlog of all time, even beating the Canada Visual Vibes! Also, Nicole you looked very pretty in that dress, natural beauty! Ben and Nichole I hope you guys have a AWESOME new year, and let the 2015 vlogs begin!😄

[@DerekKauf]

Benny if the Red Bull kite surfing thing comes back this year I HAVE to see it. Blew my mind last year!

[@nielsonbeing]

Nicole looked so pretty in that dress! Love it!

[@bmart1211]

its inspiring how you always look at the glass half full, and not half empty

[@MatthewMollet]

Happy new year ben and all the brownies reading this... Smash 2015!

[@VipulDusad]

Wishing you a very Happy New Year ***** . Thanks for taking us on this beautiful journey of yours. :)

[@sethstankich6781]

Ben you should do a hat collection video!

[@andywylde]

Wonderful to wake up and watch these videos. SA looks gorgeous, now excuse me whilst I go and scrape the ice off my car...

[@saralara9329]

Not sure how it works in SA, but in the US, the repair shop takes care of ordering your parts and making sure you get the right ones. I can see that being very frustrating driving back and forth to the shop! I suppose its all part of the experience, you will know Pumba really well at the end of this! Love your adventures, keep it up!

[@jimbobjones3391]

Sara Lara Same in SA usually but often you can make a deal with workshops and supply the parts yourself, thereby avoiding a hefty markup

[@sarahfonteijn7353]

I love Nicole's dress! Anybody knows where it's from?

[@rbruce63]

I'm glad you had your Defender fixed! The SA vistas and film are outstanding! SA deserves Kodak Portra to retain all the pastel colors that are abundant! Cheers from Costa Rica, we are more of an Kodak Ektar country or Fujichrome Velvia! ;-)

[@mkohagan]

2:14 Woman in the car next to Ben is looking at him vlogging like "wtf" hahaha, best facial expression

[@mentallychallenged8732]

BEN I LOVE ALL YOUR CONTENT ❤️

[@arcticpilots5476]

10:30 pm here in Hawaii, sucks having to wait up for these Vlogs but it's totally worth it.

[@benbrown]

I appreciate you watching my vlogs but it will still be here tomorrow! Sleep is important!

[@arcticpilots5476]

sleep is for the weak! haha i really dont mind.

[@kacjakubik3311]

Ben where are you heading for the 1 week road trip! And do another London meet up when you come back to England😀 and remember to work hard and be nice to people and try not to get lost or killed! Love you bro, Alrightttt!

[@alvinwcy]

[@elliotjwills509]

Also Benny being a Aussie... I found out you LOVE milo! Mate "I know your not the only one" (quoting sam smithy🙈)

[@BrettHarvey]

Ben , I love the vlogs.... finding so much new lekker music from your vids.. spotify and soundcloud lists ! :)

[@L1Ben]

The barefoot thing kind of caught me off guard - I would get thrown out of a grocery store here in the good ol' US of A. South Africa is quickly becoming one of the places I need to visit. Looks amazing.

[@Mabezzz]

Bastille on the radio at 2.38 !! :))

[@SmileyAdventures]

Wow it's late here in America lol but good thing I can't sleep because of my excitement for my future booked trips and looked for your blog randomly and BAM!

[@Jordanpayne96]

[@SmileyAdventures]

I miss the UK lol my body clock was all messed up when I visited London

[@alvinwcy]

[@Joecardamuro]

I flipping love this channel...so inspirational..changed my life..anyway..where did you get those shawttts ? 👀

[@joshuanesbit]

I hope he gets back on the road ASAP!

[@SuperBritney3]

Who the hell dislikes Ben's vlog?

[@JacoxNovak]

Like how Ben didn't lose it. I'd lose it after second lap of servicing and stuff, that's exactly how stable I want to be, not angry from everything like I am now :D

[@ellenw1235]

The man in the car next to him at 2:19 😂

[@MidniteSnacker]

Pumba is a 1997?!?!?!?! I thought she was atleast a 2010. Wow, I love your off roader more than ever now! She's a beast!

[@WattoPlays]

please do a playlist on spotify!!!

[@InToDaily]

how much did you pay for the defender if you dont mind me asking and are you planning on bringing it back to the uk

[@nicholasudeman4702]

Best you tuber to date and he stays in my country. Ben brown for mayor

[@myrtolefk]

Haha I was thinking the same about the shorts yesterday but I like them anyway.. :) Also could you like roughly tell us what you have planned for 2015? Like the places you're going to? It's okay if you don't though :) Love your vlogs!xx

[@ellenfan34]

you're awesome Ben and so inspirational :)

[@scuzzoo]

Why do you go to the shop without any shoes?

[@colinsguitar]

Now. I love all of you, very very much. Every single time i watch one of these vlogs and someone mentions surfing and swimming i am terrified that you're going to get eaten by sharks. I love sharks, but there is no way i'd share water with them. You guys are very brave.

[@jacobzochowski7286]

Hey Ben, I am really really really really curious about moving to Cape Town.. What are some cool places to look for homes? Any specific town names? What is the area called you were at in this blog cooking the food?

[@Ali-bm4nh]

American Brownies have it hard lol still can't wait to indulge this vlog.

[@alwaysuseless]

Ali Mohamud Hmm, I believe you find it hard, but I'm an American Brownie, and I don't know why you say that.

[@Ali-bm4nh]

alwaysuseless Timing. East coast.

[@alwaysuseless]

Ali Mohamud Move to California. We're saving you a space!

[@Ali-bm4nh]

alwaysuseless I'd love to leave this cold ughhh

[@MidniteSnacker]

Ali Mohamud I'm a Canadian brownie haha. I just watch them when I have time. Following Ben on Snapchat is super fun thought :)

[@lambrosgrindey6629]

I giggled with happiness when I realized the music was Odesza XD

[@dontforgetrandy]

You were listening to Years & Years!👌

[@DjTak3On3]

Even more respect gained for you Mr Brown, Coco pops a wise choice !!:)

[@Adilbhati]

[@FinnianGarvey98]

[@cameronjohnmacdonald293]

I am upgrading my internet service just to watch Ben's face in HD. :P

[@wasim3733]

[@patrickaxe6656]

[@tristanpenson2601]

[@allswingsconsidered]
