Ep2 Punctured Tire in A Sand Storm! Just another Day in Namibia. ROAM Overlanding

Would it be Overlanding without some adversity? I dont think so. Todays episode begins back at the Fish River Canyon to soak in the sunrise scenery! We couldnt miss seeing it just one more time, before we head over to the Canyon Roadhouse for a quirky lunch stop! We didnt have a very long drive ahead of us, and the dirt road quickly turned to tar. The B4 Highway traverses some incredibly scenery, and Namibia really takes the cake when it comes to long straight roads! Our Campsite for the next 2 days would Klein Aus Vista's, a lovely little spot roughly 123Km's from Luderitz, so it would be the perfect base camp for the next few days. After an incredible evening watching the milkyway at work and a great nights sleep; we were charged up and ready for a massive day of adventure! Luderitz, and Dias point awaited us; and so much more lay ahead.

Nice one Adrian

[@Chris.starfleet]

Great content, great video.

[@joshleal9811]

Wow adrian. What a amazing adventure so far, drive on a sand storm and have a piece of metal on your tire ... all that is part of a good expedition. Love it. 🏆🏆🏆

[@RoamOverlanding]

Thanks Josh! The ups and downs is definitely what makes memories!

[@olwethubavuma9125]

Awesome video once again keep them coming,Namibian trip is also on my bucket list.....

[@shaunmoller2997]

Epic episode Adrian thanks

[@francoisrossouw1656]

Once again, it’s is so important to have a travel buddy!

[@kgosithembani5667]

That piece of metal was crazy unexpected

[@RoamOverlanding]

I know right!?

[@Malc664]

Very enjoyable episode to watch. Memories being created and the drama ones you remember the most. A wild day but I felt the releif of your team when the lovely lady served up the beers.

[@RoamOverlanding]

Those beers were possibly the best thing I’ve ever experience in my life… it was so good Roelfie and I had 3 😅

[@Malc664]

@@RoamOverlanding Haha good on ya, well desrved.

[@graydonreynolds3237]

I cannot believe how big / long that piece of metal was. Holy crud. The beers at the end looked great. Great video. Look forward to watching the next. Must be lekker being out there again.

[@RoamOverlanding]

It’s definitely good to be out again and having an adventure! Even when things go wrong it’s still great 😂

[@4weeksleave]

Massive piece of steel

[@jamesmazurstudios]

Cool trip. Keep your extra fuses in the same place as you keep an extra battery for your winch remote. All that little stuff always can’t be found when you need it the most.

[@RoamOverlanding]

Indeed!

[@michaeldande]

lovely

[@고라우트]

멋진 영상 잘봤습니다. 모래폭풍의 느낌을 알것같네요 good video thx

[@Lost.Reception]

WOW! What a huge metal part your tyre hit... shows how important a tyre monitoring system is!

[@kurtsassenberg2909]

Dune part 2 already ?? Hell Yeah !!

[@RoamOverlanding]

Hahah 😂😂

[@sakarihannula]

Many thanks for this video! Namibia scenery is so different from Finland, and I really wish I could some day see those views by myself while driving a 4x4...

[@RoamOverlanding]

I’m glad you enjoyed it! One day you must come and rent a 4x4 and overland here; lots of Europeans do it!

[@TobiasWeberRSA]

It wouldn't be a trip to Namibia without losing at least one tire.

[@RoamOverlanding]

hahah!

[@NickfrNamibia]

great video Adrian! pity about the flat, most cases these days it is a piece of metal, bolt or something. Nothing you can do to avoid that.cheers🍻

[@RoamOverlanding]

Yeah it is just one of those things that can happen anywhere to be honest! But it just happened to all be at the same time 😂

[@cochoslp]

Hello. Just around the minute 5:40 of your video, you mentioned how important is to absorbe the scenery and the beauty of the nature, and it is so true! Yesterday I did it here on the Baja California Mexicali Mexico desert with my Bonbraai set! Which I really thank you because the first time I saw that set was in one of your videos. Long time ago. So thanks amigo! I’m proud to say that this Bonbraai set is the only one existing in Mexico!! Saludos. Cheers!

[@RoamOverlanding]

That is amazing to hear!! I hope you enjoy it to the maximum!

[@cochoslp]

@@RoamOverlanding yeah man. Is fantastic. I actually taking the kids out in the bush to eat pizza right now. We will install the pit fire on the BonBraai. Cheers amigo. Hope you can visit Baja one time. I’ll show you around.

[@RoamOverlanding]

hahah awesome! Its definitely on my list to visit!

[@Bubbles12345-cat]

10:33 You left the little red tent behind!

[@RoamOverlanding]

Hahah don’t worry we came back to that campsite 😂

[@Bubbles12345-cat]

@@RoamOverlanding 😊👋👍

[@charlestrum]

Great video once more, quick question, why do you think your compressor's fuse blew?

[@RoamOverlanding]

thanks Charles! So it happens when I havent let the car start up properly before witching the compressor on... I probably done even need to fuse it because it was its own circuit breaker built in; but I fuse it for the safety because the wire is run from the front battery all the way to the back

[@jameslovestokyo]

What's that little coffee grinder we glimpse @8:31? Looks ace.

[@RoamOverlanding]

It’s a rad little thing by a Canadian company called VSSL that the Jackery South Africa’s guys are going to be bringing in! Super high quality!

[@dirkholl2512]

Great video, I long to travel there again. Who’s tent stayed behind at the 10:35 mark 😅

[@RoamOverlanding]

Hahah my uncles tent; but we were coming back to that camp later that day 👌🏻

[@iwanjohnson7474]

Wow... all the screens. Space X?

[@RoamOverlanding]

hahah AllI need now is the Ineos Granadier with all its awesome aircraft style switches on the roof of the vehicles! But im just testing two different GPS units :D

[@mzuribikes2499]

If you pinch the spring from a click pen you will have an emergency fuse.

[@RoamOverlanding]

I wonder how many amps it would hold

[@KradenkoZA]

We did pretty much exactly the same route as you did so far in 2013. Me in my Jimny! Question: Was the road still so terribly corrugated to the Diaz point? Felt like my Jimny was going to fall apart! As far as I know, that is a replica cross at the Diaz point. The original was removed by the Germans and is currently in a museum in Germany. Good trip so far!

[@RoamOverlanding]

Thats so cool! Haha! The road to Diaz point wasnt memorable as a bad one, but the vehicles may have just soaked it up. The road to Sesriem Canyon was the absolute worst!

[@horeamarinescu1016]

You forgot the red tent behind when you left for Luderitz.

[@RoamOverlanding]

haha no we left it set up at the camp; because we planned to return to camp that evening

[@ryanroux1156]

Awesome Video Adrian. Which tire pressure pressure monitor are you using?

[@RoamOverlanding]

It’s the Ngauge system

[@tristanhall5971]

Would you share a breakdown of all the tech in your dash? Know the Overlander and In Reach Mini from past videos, assume another is a phone and your radio is upgraded but to what? Also there is another screen I think on the right of the dash?

[@RoamOverlanding]

The other gps on the right is the Garmin Tread that I have been testing out and trying to compare to the Overlander 👌🏻 then my phone has the Ngauge 4x4 app on it to monitor my tires

[@ndirangugichuki6260]

Can we get a vehicle rundown for both 4×4's ?

[@darrellw.matodes6898]

Just a Note....Do NOT sit with your legs extended under the vehicle while changing a tyre. If that vehicle slips the jack for any reason and lands on your legs...you have a big problem. I say this as a old bush nut and with the unfortunate experience of seeing that happen Twice...in my many years.

[@dlepuno]

Will you ever sell your hilux

[@RoamOverlanding]

Maybe one day

[@kenarmo]

What was the name of 2nd place you stayed near Luderitz looks nice

[@RoamOverlanding]

Hey Kenneth; that was just the reception area of Klein Aus Vista's and the part where they have chalets!

[@israeltigabu5923]

Hi, I'm a new subscriber, I love your content. I want to know if I can import my Jeep Wrangler from USA to Namibia to do some Overlanding. Can I import a left hand drive car to Namibia for temporary use? Thank you,

[@RoamOverlanding]

I’m pretty sure you can; but just double check. Otherwise there are so many vehicles you can rent this side of the world, all fully equipped for much less than shipping your vehicle 👌🏻

Do you have a rear locker?

[@RoamOverlanding]

Yes from factory they Hilux comes with a rear locker

What is the cost of the Canopy and Sleeper? Kindly advise link of supplier if possible

[@RoamOverlanding]

Hi there! The canopy is from BushTech Aluminium Canopies; and the Tent is the Eezi Awn Blade. You can get in touch with [e-mail] for a quote on a canopy; and for the tent they can probably source it for you too from EeziAwn
