Camping in the Wild | Ground Squirrels | Episode 2

[@mozmamavicki]

Loved, loved, loved the first three installments... can't wait for the rest! James and Kirsten, you are so talented! Thanks for sharing!

[@robynreed1578]

Just had to watch this again! Best wildlife film ever. Topsy and Helen, Timmy and Harold are entirely fabulous: even though “Mater threatens to stop their pocket money!”

[@sharanyajane108]

LOL, Topsy and Helen..and "crazed toddlers on speed"....I can't lol

[@Parlour100]

Been there, with the destruction of groceries and sundry supplies. We camp in the Rocky Mountains, and more than once it's been interesting to see the inside of our trailer after travelling down little used logging roads with potholes the size of elephant excavations, but with rocks. We have now learned, after many painful lessons, to invest in and bungie strap everything! But on the coffee press....my sincere sympathies, coming from a coffee addict. I can face grizzlies and cougars, but NOT the destruction or harming of my coffee pot. I would have had a meltdown.

[@karenmartley797]

Hello beautiful people James and Kirsten..Thank you so much for sharing. Looove it! xx

[@lindafromcalifornia1155]

The video and editing along with the choice of music is great. Thank you James and Kirsten. Kirsten you have such a way with those squirrels. Looking forward to Episode 3.

[@gigicostlow4414]

Never have ground squirrels been so amusing to watch. Your commentary was great! Sorry about the coffee pot and mixed up food disaster. A few things I learned from past camping experiences. Use a stainless campfire percolator coffee pot. Doesn't break and useful for boiling water. Put packaged goods (coffee, cocoa, sugar, etc) in plastic containers with tight fitting lids. Eco friendly cause you use them over and over. I even had one for toilet paper. Keep all cleaning supplies in a different spot away from all food, clothes, and paper goods. That stuff always finds a way to ooze out when least expected. I've seen worse outhouses. Thanks James and Kirsten. So loving your adventure. Can't wait until part 3.

[@schwartingclaire]

Loving everything about this, except the length! Ten minutes is too short!!

[@donnapbrice]

I am loving every minute of this.😁 Thanks James and Kirsten for sharing this with us all. Can't wait for the next installment!👏👏😊

[@JamesHendry]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@donnapbrice]

@@JamesHendrytwo of the secrets to a long and happy marriage are communication and a sense of humour. You and Kirsten will be golden 💞

[@JamesHendry]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@desertrose2059]

James and Kirsten, superb! I hope you put these into a package for TV syndication. It would be smashing!

[@rbeard7580]

I've watched a lot of videos on KZbin of other folk's trips to southern Africa. I've never come across anything as interesting & entertaining as this. Or done with such high professional standards. My wife and I look forward to future episodes.

[@JamesHendry]

Thanks for your kind words!

[@Pamlandy2]

Ugh, shame!! But, the biggest loss for me would have been the chocolate! :(

[@sharanyajane108]

LOL, classic James Hendry style! Seriously you need your own show....seriously!

[@michellemorningstar880]

OMG Just Epic James Love Squirrels i would be playing with them so adorable what an epic video this was can.t wait for 3 woohoo thanks so much

[@ghfan-Brandi]

I am loving your videos. Thanks for sharing them. I already miss you on drive. You and Kirsten enjoy your time off but get back on drive soon.

[@lisaa7991]

More more MORE! Absolutely delightful, you two. The ground squirrels are adorable! Can’t wait for the next episode!

[@1974lionsfan]

I almost spit out my drink at the nigerian bribe comment 😂 omg james you sir are hilarious

[@lorena4371]

I enjoyed watching the squirrel antics. But handss down were the birds! You captured the birds amazingly! I loved the photography! Thank you James for sharing your video.

[@gabrieljimenez9762]

I don't think I had ever seen that bird species before. Breathtaking.

[@LeeThomson24]

Gabriel Jimenez I think those were Secretary birds.

[@artpeace610]

Knowledge + Laughter × Soap - Walnuts = Awesomeness. Absolutely loved it!

[@rbeard7580]

I viewed that concoction as the possible makings of a pretty good toilet cleaning solution.

[@RLaraMoore]

The Hendry's have invented a new very spicy laundry detergent! 😁

[@JamesHendry]

@Ed Grant exactly!

[@michellebarron7672]

Could have used that accidental concoction to clean the longdrop!

[@callumevans7113]

Nice to see the concrete table at Lesholoago has been fixed!!

[@robertbarger6244]

James and Kirsten: Thank you so much for sharing not only your Wedding, but your Honeymoon! My wife: Anita; and myself are enjoying these so much and look forward to your next adventure of "Your Honeymoon" video's. They make us laugh and we love them

[@JW424]

Squirrel footage is amazing. The accommodations give me anxiety. 😂

[@MC-bm2ph]

There really is nothing better than this! So entertaining. I laughed so hard at the narrative. James thank you and Kirsten for such a wonderful adventure. I cannot wait for the third installment.

[@karenwasielewski3486]

Lol, I agree. The squirrel's were hysterical. It brightened my day.

[@RoxanneMc]

Love it! Absolutely hilarious. Cannot wait to watch the next episode.

[@shendaraalshedir1933]

I miss the Woolworths stores l grew up with, they've not been in Ottawa for several years now. But!- there are lots of other places selling speckled candy eggs if you ever come to Ottawa, lol- l like them too. Really enjoyed episode 2 & how you named all the ground squirrels-- l wonder if you will do a Steve Irwin & name your kids after Animals, ha!ha!- "Hosana Hendry"?? 😉🐆 You guys are great, so glad you invited us all along for the ride!- Thanks ❤️ James & Kirsty!! 🤗🐾🌈🇨🇦

[@Pamlandy2]

Wonderful, James! I'll have to go back and watch Episode 1 and can't wait for Episode 3! :) :)

[@rangiyoung5039]

Crikey James and Kirsten Hendry oooh so kool..squirrels loos a new brand of shampoo great adventure. U FELLAS 👍💞💋

[@JamesHendry]

Thanks 👍

[@6Fiona6_P_6]

Pity about the disaster with the coffee thing-a-ming-a. And the hint of soap in stuff. Ah but at least it was clean in a manner...... Very cute and adorable Squirrels. And I kinda feel for the one on " bedding duty " her poor jaw must've ached something bad that night. After all that somewhat jaw breaking work.... Oh and I hope that Cricket really survived...... And now after teasing us all, we've got to wait for part three. I shall try my best to be patient ( but it's so hard sometimes)........💚⚛️☮️🐾

[@David-Angela]

2 great videos James. Such fun to watch, and you make it so interesting. Love your puns!! Always said at the right moment!! I hope part 3 will be with us soon. Again many thanks to you and your lovely wife :)

[@jgraham940]

Outrageously hilarious! And very pretty footage. Thank you.

[@genevieveandrews4433]

James and Kirsten this is such awesome! Looking forward to the next one ❤️

[@annettelane659]

Fantastic shots of the squirrels, very interesting to watch. The sunset was amazing too. Lovely video, thank you James and Kirsten. 👍

[@carolv8450]

I think everyone loves to watch squirrels!

[@theresajones2266]

I watch Wild Earth every day since the pandemic and James is my favorite!!

[@1Witcomb]

Looking forward to Episode 3...... A brilliant way to have a honeymoon. I'm sure when Kirsten was a little girl dreaming of her future husband and how they'd share their lives, it was exactly this. Well perhaps not EXACTLY............. Well done guys and congratulations.

[@Markease26]

I love his humor!

[@mars54mars54]

absolutely awesome! I love ground squirrels, you got fantastic shots of them 💛

[@gabrieljimenez9762]

1:37- those socks are to die for! Ever the fashionista James!. RIP coffee plunger.

[@kobzdt]

Heart failure averted albeit JUST after seeing that broken coffee plunger (and the longdrop but plunger worse)! Great shooting, editing and as always commentary! 👍

[@atlantajuls7141]

Fantastic slo-mo video. The birds were amazing!

[@deborahmercer1897]

I am not at all surprised by the entertainment and educational value of your delightful videos as I always greatly enjoyed your Safari Live/ Wild Earth presenter episodes. Love this series of Me, My Wife and Wildlife production! The two of you make a fantastic production team. Kudos! Great photography, music and antics!

[@gexgeko6520]

Anyone else, love to see a live feed? Well done Sir!

[@paulalim1476]

You need a metal French press!! I can’t tell how many glass ones that I’ve gone thru just in my kitchen. They are available in copper and stainless.. practically indestructible.🙂

[@lisag5670]

Love the music when the bird was running in the beginning. Awesome video James & Kristen! You guys are too cute together 🥰

[@JamesHendry]

Thanks so much!!

[@PrassRa]

Oh this was amazing!! James Kristen you did well. Fantastic shooting and editing. Very entertaining. Waiting for more to come. And the music is just perfect!

[@missmouse2526]

Speckled Eggs are the best. You cannot convince me otherwise. Also we miss you on Wild Earth, no one else says bebe's and eggies and it makes my heart sore

[@laurachristmas5974]

"More easily bribed than a Nigerian policeman".....love it. Antics of the Ground Squirrels, Slender Mongoose and Meerkats kept me happily entertained for endless hours each day when we went. Well done both of you. Thoroughly entertaining, interesting and unique in approach. Look forward to many more Me, My Wife and the Wildlife productions over the coming years

[@neilsouthern321]

Lovely video looking forward to the next

[@janinealderete2633]

Absolutely brilliant James and Kirsten!

[@janinealderete2633]

Except the loo and broken coffee plunger!🤬

[@MeaghanEdwards]

Too funny! Excited to see the next edition.

[@alz64101]

Absolutely love this. You truly are a genius. Can you please do them longer than 10 minutes. I think some major TV company should snap you and the Mrs up for a fabulous wildlife show ❤

[@JamesHendry]

We would love to make them longer but we needed to film more and not make them boring! Next season...

[@carolv8450]

Alz J TV would change his channel . It is nice how it is.

[@AtyPical1313]

"Crazed toddlers on speed" LOL Thank you for making laugh!

[@ftmml7995]

Will never look at the poor old ground squirrel in the same light. You have turned something normally boring into fascinating and really opening my mind that wildlife more than just the predators.

[@carlab4154]

Entertaining, once again! Thanks for sharing 👏🏻👍🏻

[@landshark73]

So now there's a Harold the ground squirrel and Harold the Grebe. I guess that's going to be your go to name for all animals.

[@JamesHendry]

Harold the leopard...

[@riabb8725]

Idea for first born?

[@debraabell4756]

Laughed until I cried.

[@snazzyzepp1755]

Thanks, for the CC- looking forward to your next episode! The flight of the secretary birds is awesome!

[@traveltweettravel7053]

Another excellent episode - we love watching ground squirrels and your footage captures them so beautifully. So many hilarious snippets ... cannot wait for the next instalment. :-)

[@JamesHendry]

Thank you

[@makeupgirl069]

Did I get 10 minutes, felt like 10 seconds. Love these and you both are wonderful on screen. Hoping you get a full blown @travelchannel series! Wishing you my best!

[@annahasty7191]

Thank you for sharing your journey. I have had a similar situation with dish soap and I sympathize. Eagerly awaiting episode three. 😀

[@kayslowey-sly2138]

Love it! So entertaining. Thank you!

[@shemomo1]

Oh my gosh I just LOVE this!!!!

[@robynreed1578]

Absolutely loved this! Hugely entertaining, stunningly beautiful images of nature, and you are SO funny, James Hendry!

[@steffymarx]

Soooo good! Can't wait for the next one!

[@carriek4038]

Can’t wait to see what’s next!

[@thankyouforthemusic4881]

Damn you James Hendry. I had my travel plans set five years ahead. I was planning on going to New Orleans, Nashville, Machu Picchu and then South Africa. Now it so happened that we went to South Africa first, like WTF?? Now I am obsessed with Africa. I´ve learned so much from you @JamesRAHendry and the rest of the team @wildearthofficial. I can not even list all of the things I´ve learned. That would be to embarrising. Musth? Pseudo-penis? Cheetah or Leopard? All the birds? Oh my word? Being towed? And this KZbin series of yours is so much fun. Thank you for all the fun and all of the education.

[@Sunny-kn6th]

ThankYouForTheMusic isn’t it great!

[@johnredhd]

I love secretary birds. Fantastic footage!

[@judye62]

Encore!!!! Fun times!!! Amusing couple, The Hendrys are.

[@gretchenallen6116]

Delightful! I need so much more of this! ‘Toddlers on speed’ 😂😂😂 Cracks me up. Any parent can relate.

[@JamesHendry]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@gailmurf9365]

Perfect, right down to the music. I now love ground squirrels. Well done James and Kirsten.

[@gabzgamesxxx409]

7:26 I can’t don’t Laughing 😂😂 The human Ankles😂😂😂

[@marthat4258]

Loved the video James and Kirsten. Now you just have to make them a little longer. Would love it if you kept this up beyond the honeymoon!

[@llGracell]

Loved it!! Can't wait for future episodes!

[@michellestoltz2292]

Love this, great to watch and share in nature and banter🦁

[@JamesHendry]

[@africassky]

Little hint, rusks and ginger nut biscuits are also a favourite of these squirrels

[@JamesHendry]

We were worried about type 2 diabetes in the squirrel population!

[@mariannevoight3611]

That was excellent ... and very funny commentary ... looking forward to E3

[@viviennelambie5645]

[@goralki]

The quickest 10 min I think I have ever had. Sooo good, cant wait for next one

[@patriciapreziosi2819]

I love watching these! Such beautiful landscapes!

[@craftystash8667]

Another fun visit with the Hendry family.. The " long drop" isn't so bad...try just a hole in the ground.. many countries I've been in, only a hole.. maybe a toilet seat on the hole 😬..

[@susanlenk9284]

What a an adventure! Looking forward to the next installment! Hope you trip to Durban today has been less eventful (smiles)
