Overlanding Challenges in Sandwich Harbour & Skeleton Bay // EP. 57

[@4x4adventure_pl]

This video encapsulates the heart and soul of overlanding - the thrill of conquering challenging terrains and the serenity of immersing oneself in the wilderness. The scenes of navigating through rugged landscapes and then finding refuge in the simplicity of camping evoke a profound connection to the natural world.

[@Thebluelandy]

Thank you so so much! This part of Namibia allows you to experience just that! It might not be the most comfortable and cozy but it will be one of the most special places we have visited. Would not like to visit this place in another way!

[@davegreenwood1663]

What an adventure you guys are having. The drone footage is world class work.Thanks always look forward to your weekly video.

[@Thebluelandy]

Thank you Dave again! It would have been a pity not to put it up, with such a landscape, we needed some perspective 😉 hope we can continue delivering 😎

[@nicholastoo858]

Beautiful, you’ve inspired me to take a holiday in Namibia.

[@Thebluelandy]

Amazing to hear this!!! Best compliment and a bit jealous! 😜 enjoy it to the max!

[@mastercha707]

As expected, this video showed a movie-like video and the mystery of nature!!

[@Thebluelandy]

Thank you so much for your comment! Lots of work to put it together,😊🙌

[@frankkusel4768]

Absolutely stunning photography!

[@Thebluelandy]

Thank you so much! The place was really worth it! 🤩

[@damianorizzi1621]

Video assolutamente eccezionale per narrazione, immagini e spirito di avventura. Tra i più belli e emozionanti mai visti...

[@Thebluelandy]

Grazie mille. È stata un'avventura folle accamparsi in questo luogo. Non il tuo campo ideale in spiaggia, ma uno che ricorderemo per sempre.

[@mohamadalok3238]

I was so amazed watching this … it gave the feeling that you let us be part of the beautiful journey you are having … always waiting for you … love you guys ❤

[@Thebluelandy]

Hey Mohamad, thanks you! It means a lot to us to hear that from you especially cause making such great content! We miss you! We'll be back!

[@olivermarschner]

Thanks for the memories. I grew up in WB in the 1980’s and visited Sandwich many time. I miss Namibia, much more fun than life in London

[@Thebluelandy]

Walvis Bay and in general this area of the Namib is spectacular and doesn't leave you indifferent. Oh yeah London is completely the opposite 😅Happy to bring memories back 😎

[@grahames9228]

All that sand and salt water will certainly accelerate corrosion. Epic trip though.

[@Thebluelandy]

Yeah! The car is looking pretty bad underneath after several weeks at the coast 😱😵 but it was worth it!

[@laurentnicolas1550]

Great video as usual... I'm sure you could have done it by reducing the tire pressure to 1 bar (or even 0.9 bar) and given the traffic in the area you weren't really alone. You just have to be careful not to turn too sharply so as not to unseat the tires. I have a Patrol that I took to the Algerian Sahara, it weighed 3.7 tons with the two of us in it, and we went all over the dunes.

[@Thebluelandy]

Thank you Laurent!! We try to don't go very low to avoid getting it out of the rim. That's worse than a couple of more minutes digging 😉 also a plus of not going so low all the time, our tires have now close to 80.000km! But yeah we get this comment all the time, that we drive with so much pressure

[@Thebluelandy]

And regarding the weight, we are 3 tons with a 1998 year TD5 engine, not mapped and after all these years it's not giving us 122hp, so dunes like that are not a real possibility.

[@jasonallicock3318]

It's been a long time since I last commented and commended you guys for the epic photography and off-road adventures which I am happy to be part of your journeys. You have made me seen parts of our globe which I'm dreaming of visiting. Stay safe and be careful on the roadways and trails. Best of wishes from Guyana. You should consider visiting us if you are ever on the Pan-American highway, we are bordered by Venezuela in the west, Brazil in the south, Suriname on the east and the majestic Atlantic on the north.

[@Thebluelandy]

We did visit some incredible places yeah, it is just crazy how much one can experience in a year, 😱 thank you so much for following along all this time. 🤗 We still don't know our plans for South America, depends how empty our bank accounts are in a couple of months 😅

[@goaloneTV]

Hey, great videos! We hope to get out to those parts after the Americas. We've only heard good things about Africa and your videos confirm the stories.

[@Thebluelandy]

Hey, Yeah we liked it in Africa, but I guess we show it but Africa is in some places are not always easy going. If you’re up for the challenge go for it! And if you have any questions you can always reach out on insta… By the way we’re heading to the Americas right now 😉

[@goaloneTV]

@@Thebluelandy Yeah we just did Canada / Central America, heading to Colombia next month. Are you starting in the North or South?

[@Thebluelandy]

@@goaloneTV hey!! We will start in Uruguay in September!

[@goaloneTV]

@@Thebluelandy Aha! Well maybe our paths will cross by chance, I'll try and keep an eye on your progress. Good luck!

[@Thebluelandy]

@@goaloneTV yeah!! We post always pretty delayed also in Instagram, it's better to write us a private message to check ! ☺️

[@TOYOTA.Overland]

An amazing piece of landscape, hope you enjoy it. The pictures from the drone are very beautiful. Pitty about the cloudy weather, I expected that here must be only sunny weather.

[@Thebluelandy]

This place is both, beautiful and rough. This coast is not the place to enjoy sunbathing at the beach. It is foggy ,cold, dead seals, etc. But when the fog leaves it is one of the few untouched places one can explore freely.

[@lavitasecondojimny6690]

Hy Bluelandy, beautiful video, beautiful landscape and beautiful 110. Ciao e grazie for this video 🇮🇹. La vita secondo Jimny

[@Thebluelandy]

Thank so much!! We enjoyed this area a lot even if it was sometimes tough to stay due to the weather conditions 😵 Grazie!!

[@Badfinger7761]

Very nice episode. Bluelandy takes on the dunes of Namibia and wins! 💪 Excellent work guys!

[@Thebluelandy]

Thank you so much! Yeah 💪💪💪 bluelandy for the win !

[@That_Guy_Outside]

WONDERFUL - thank you!

[@Thebluelandy]

Thank YOU for taking the time to comment. Happy to share hints of this beautiful planet 🤗

[@stevestott1514]

Wow another awesome adventure video from you two . The wild and rough coast line there is wildly beautiful . And the drone shots sure help by showing the grander of it all . And all the wild life that makes that wild coastal area there home . Cheers from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A. :) :) 🌍🐕🍻👍🏼😁

[@Thebluelandy]

Hey Steve, this place is so untouched, even though is just next to a very busy port. It was shocking to see so much wildlife and be able to camp just there. It was really tough though, wind, fog, cold. Not your nice, sunny idea of camping at the beach. But all this made it memorable!!

[@stevestott1514]

[@Sunnysa123]

My birth place, this is the most beautiful place on earth ❤❤

[@Thebluelandy]

It is stunning! Please take care of it, so it stays as wild as it is ❤

[@hunyuanzhuang78]

Tyre pressure is everything (almost ;-) )

[@Thebluelandy]

Haha True, now looking back I would probably go a bit lower in quite a few situations but we always made it out 😅

[@jeancpt]

Walvis Bay was a major South African military port. It was part of South Africa for 84 years until sovereignty was handed back to Namibia in 1994.

[@Thebluelandy]

Thank you for the extra info! Really appreciated it 🙌

[@sebk5232]

How difficult was it to get permission for the drone?

[@Andy-Gibb]

Most times their are no laws regarding drones in South Africa , Namibia that I have found and I have lived here for 54 years. Saying that common sense laws are good to adhere to like no filming military bases or sensitive areas and also near airports and other government installations. Their may be some local requirements around towns but in the open there is no laws for or against.

[@Thebluelandy]

We go with the explanation in the comment above, from Andy, 😁

[@WorldExperience-jq7fx]

@@Thebluelandy So, you didn't get any permission to film in Namibia? And the other countries you've passed? I'm going to Africa next year and I really want to carry a drone but I've read that it's difficult to film there....hoping it's not! You guys are fantastic!

[@josephsaunders7301]

We hope that you will get to the Kruger National Park in South Africa

[@Thebluelandy]

Hey Joseph, Unfortunately we didn’t make it to the east of South Africa. We wanted to surf and then the clock was ticking for our shipping.

[@winter-survivor]

27:09 the vehicle is equipped with special plates that you can put in front of the tires, so you can unstuck the car in two minutes. I don't understand why didn't they use that at 19:00 😳

[@Thebluelandy]

We were too lazy to do it! Haha we use them when we know digging alone will not take us anywhere, you can watch many episodes from the Middle East where we used them constantly. Once used they bend a bit and to put them back in place at the side of the car we need to drive on top to flatten them out again. We were lazy and wanted to avoid this 😎🤣 digging took more time than expected, sometimes happens 😜

[@winter-survivor]

[@goku.lc80]

Is shaving in stressful situations some kind of therapy for Kai? 😂

[@Thebluelandy]

Hahaha it was more like, I am bored 🥱 so I use the time for something I normally don't like to do. We expected hours of driving in Sandwich Harbour but didn't happen, as we were not able to continue on the tall dunes...so we filled the time with lunch and 🪒!

[@johnngari4626]

You really take risks

[@Thebluelandy]

Hey John, I mean it's risky to step in front of your door... Yes, I don't think it was too risky in this case. We checked the tides and had plenty of time to go there and back. And there quite a few cars around which can help you to rescue the car in case something happens... We don't want to damage the car, but we also don't want to turn around as soon as is gets a bit challenging. Otherwise we would not need such a 4x4 😅

[@johnngari4626]

Keine Winde und keinen Sandanker ? Im Flutbereich keine gute Idee ,das kann ein Totalschaden werden ! Viel Glück !👍

[@Thebluelandy]

Hey Heiko, leider oder vllt zum Glück ist man auf einer Weltreise sehr limitiert was das mitbringen von Spielzeug angeht. Bisher sind wir in Wüsten und am Strand immer ohne Sandanker und Winde ausgekommen und konnten uns immer selbst befreien. So wie die meisten anderen Reisenden. Wir hatten Zeit da das Wasser zurück gegangen ist. Von daher denke ich nicht das wir unnötige Risiken eingegangen sind. In der allergrößten Not, wenn Luftdruck und Sandbleche versagen kann ich immer noch mein Reserverad vergraben und mit den HiLift als Winde benutzen. Vielen Dank für den Kommentar, und viel Spaß mit den Videos ☺️

[@heikowalter8239]

@@Thebluelandy Ihr könnt selbstverständlich machen was ihr wollt ,aber wenn Zeitdruck entsteht, durch auflaufendes Wasser ,sind Experimente mit dem Jack nichts für schwache Nerven und wenn das Wasser erstmal die Räder umspült, gräbt sich der Wagen förmlich ein .Dann hat sogar eine Unimog Winde Probleme euch da raus zu ziehen .Ist nur ein nett gemeinter Hinweis ,es wäre sehr schade um den schönen Landy ! Passt auf euch auf und riskiert nicht zu viel !👍
