Running The Length of Africa with NO SUPPORT VAN | #2

[@gregogreg3900]

Came here from geowizards dribbling Britain. This man is insane absolute warrior

[@maxpadfield]

Incredible

[@Nooticus]

Same. Insane

[@nf8721]

Shout out to GeoWIzard for telling his viewers about you. I'll follow the whole journey for sure

[@Daniel-Davies-Gonstead-Student]

Welcome to the party lads, it's a banger for sure!

[@williamdean377]

also from geowizard

[@607]

It's taking some time to catch up, but I'll get there!

[@TheAustinKendall]

Tom sent me here as well, I'm glad I heard about it.

[@garethgibson6508]

Ditto, enjoying it so was far

[@joshgolo]

The best thing about the way you are producing this is all the behind the scenes is being shown up front so we feel part of the crew. Its fucking criminal how under the radar you are right now. Good luck Russ and team!

[@Barnet310]

Change the titles to day 1, day 7 etc will be sooo much easier for new people to follow along

[@JoeFirth99]

Each video contains more than one day’s worth of footage

[@Evan2768]

@@JoeFirth99 they can still put whatever day the video started on

[@Lucy-ny4gs]

episode 1, 2, 3, etc might work better

[@Xebtria]

@@Evan2768 or combine it. "Episode 1 - day 1 to 3" "episode 2 - day 4 to 6", something like this. with noteworthy special occasions, like "10% of the route, 25% of the route" or "crossing the equator" some stuff like that.

[@GoldShockAttack]

Linking to the next part in the endcard will be crucial too in case one of these randomly blows up

[@hanswoast7]

3:50 That transition is finest of cinematographic beauty I have seen.

[@aspen9102]

Loving the series and the project but... for something as amazing as someone running an entire continent... filming the dude actually running seems almost an after thought, we learn more about the van and the rest of the guys than the person running the main show. That last day had amazing visuals of him running and it lasted just a few seconds for an entire days worth of run lol.

[@TomJamesOfficial]

Epic video as usual. Maybe you can add more in depth graphics that show the route you're taking each day on a map. I can see it on Strava but it would be good to see it on a 10 second graphic on the videos also.

[@RDJ2]

What's his name on Strava? I can't find it.

[@TomJamesOfficial]

@@RDJ2 Search: Russ Cook

[@jonathancaldwell8897]

Mate - I think they are giving enough content for essentially free / pay what you like.

[@HP-ow2up]

@@jonathancaldwell8897 Tom's only trying to help make the videos and the project mate. its not a criticism but a good tip to get more views, subs, money for the project

[@Louis]

Loving this series lads!!!!

[@kyleroczniak]

Still the best thing going on on the planet right now. I can see in the videos that the team are experimenting more and more with each video and it’s paying off, it’s shot and edited insanely well. Not to even mention the insane feat of the actual running, I cannot fathom it.

[@tobygoodman9134]

I truly cant comprehend running 55k in 1 go, let alone doing it day after day. Inspirational dude. I ran a half marathon once and it was horrendous. You really are the hardest geezer.

[@ipraath6018]

Unbelievable stuff Russ. I would try and add nore graphics or detail on exactly where you are and how far along you've done in the day. Feel like I never know how much you've exactly done. Keep laying them bricks

[@softchocolatemousse4708]

I don't really comment often but this definitely deserves at least some "algorithm boost". Can't believe how few people know about this, the project is awesome and it's HUGE I hope you'll get the attention you deserve soon, hopefully some funding as well... Russ is really amazing with how he keeps up the running every effin day Also the fact you're able to edit and upload the videos while on the road is absolutely bonkers to me! Keep it up guys! Sending support from Czech Republic

[@Daniel-Davies-Gonstead-Student]

100% keep boosting that algorithm!

[@davidavid555]

Keep it up guys! I'd love to see more footage of the countryside you're passing through to get a better idea of the terrain. Might give it a bit of a travel doc feel

[@timiss17]

Yeah and some maps would be great to actually see the route

[@ps3tiktaks]

Just don’t stop what your doing lads. This is the perfect storm to blow up on KZbin. Doing my bit and engaging with the video 😂

[@trealin4730]

They need to promote the series more

[@spearshak3r980]

"...every day we finish is a W." This is precisely the mindset required to keep on truckin´. Outstanding stuff. Soon the honeymoon period will be replaced with sheer grit and indescribable resilience. Thank you for being a mere human. The inspiration set hence forth is truly epic!

[@PeacemanBZ]

I have been a GeoWizard subscriber since 2019 and just subbed to your channel as well! Your Africa mission is amazing! Not only the distance but also crossing so many difficult countries and climate zones. What a tough challenge! I can see that you got a massive view and sub boost from the GeoWizard shoutout - like almost 10k additional subs and 100k more views across the channel in one day. That's very well deserved. I think you will break 100k subs during this adventure and get the much needed financial support for this. I wish you all the best!

[@Nooticus]

This episode was edited much better than the previous in my opinion, the addition of the map scenes were great so we can see where he’s got to. The only thing that needs to be added are labels of the main towns on the map. I have a feeling this will blow up soon… it HAS to… 🙏

[@nathonso_edits]

Some suggestions to make the videos even better: -For the map updates include a more zoomed out view so we can see the scale of how far you've run -Include what day of the challenge you're on in the video title -Get Russ a go pro strapped to his chest so he can record some sections with updates on the run

[@MiniBlob75]

Incredible work, keep it up guys. This series is gonna be MASSIVE!

[@jamestrant4409]

Love the bit at 17:44 where you're talking about how tough this challenge is. Youve made it seem so easy its hard to comprehend how difficult it is! Also agree it would be great to see more of the landscape so we can see the wilderness youre running through

[@benstevenson1507]

Great content lads. This series has serious potential and think the end result will be essential viewing. Liking the idea of more content per week and also showing the reality of the challenge of staying in a van with three other blokes for 8 months. Think the series is as much about the travel/journey of all the team as it is Russ’s incredible feat. Great work from all the team so far.

[@samv967]

Good luck on this adventure! Daft little request - Can you number the episodes so I know to watch in order please

[@michaelarbisi]

Unreal work. This channel needs more recognition so your budget increases quickly so you can get a new van.

[@BestShootingLock]

We need to get this trending big time. He deserves a redbull sponsorship

[@JoritHillendahl]

Man, i always loved your personality, for example from the Geowizard-ball-dribbling-across-britain-series, and now seeing your stuff in good quality and well cut is a whole new level, gonna enjoy this series a lot!

[@froghornleghorn]

Not even watched it yet but been keeping up with it on twitter and I already know it's absolutely epic. Keep smashing it man, it's going to be a monumental effort to complete it but what you've already achieved is incredible!

[@Xebtria]

I would have never expected to like a series like this this much. but boy am I hooked. it's a weird feeling because I love following it from the start as it happens basically (minus one week that is), but it's also kinda sad that I cannot bingewatch this because, well it hasn't happened completely yet :D amazing thing

[@bertiekirkwood1797]

willing you on, lads, and especially wishing you get more views and funding! joined the patreon today because honestly this story is inspirational

[@Klibbitz]

This will absolutely, unequivocally, make history. I’m just glad to be here with you all, watching and supporting FROM THE BEGINNING 🔥🔥🔥

[@GLK_Reviews]

Keep going!!! All of the team’s hard work is greatly noticed!! We’re rooting for you 💪🏻

[@fraseresmond9494]

Transition at 3:53 has done me in

[@tjbullis1491]

man i hope you guys and this series gets the recognition it deserves. to actually do something of this scale is insane.

[@botchycougar700]

most underrated series on youtube, keep stompin x

[@CurtisHowkins]

Bro these are criminally underrated. Just a matter of time before these blow up 💣 💥

[@Daniel-Davies-Gonstead-Student]

Stan, mate, absolutely phenomenal job of the editing! This is some seriously top notch cinematography and storytelling. Keep it up lads, you're making history!

[@uuquuuquu5235]

Found out about you from the Geowizard videos and took an interest in your series. Only to also see you being interviewed by Sky Sports this morning. Mad props to you for getting the recognition you deserve and here's hoping this feat makes a difference to the world.

[@molt3n412]

Smashing it mate, on the road and on youtube...you were on 30k subs yesterday and now 38k today!

This editing is next level, surprised its not got more views or even a TV show 😅

[@danielkidman969]

Absolute legend. Just need the algorithm to get this blown up as it deserves to be

Surely this is going to blow up before he finishes this. Russ, the team and the production quality is awesome. Keep it going boys! You've got this.

Seriously this should have more views.

[@J4NOObs]

amazing project Im sure more and more people are going to start watching throughout the journey

[@mrSam3ooo]

On one hand this would have been ideal as a big production with a pro camera crew and nice cinematography, on the other hand I love the DIY old school KZbin spirit of it all. I'm here for the ride

[@cameramanstan]

Shooting a feature documentary too!

[@mrSam3ooo]

@@cameramanstan Ah sick! I was wondering, how "live" is the mission? Do you upload each episode asap or are you already a lot further ahead irl than where you are in the latest ep?

Awesome adventure lads! Would love to see more of the run and terrain itself

[@oxsevenrecruitment]

Go on lad!! We were talking about this in the office today - lots of fans here!

[@chandir7752]

That clip at the end of episode 9 should be the intro or outro of every video. Best of luck for the rest of the run, you've smashed it so far 380k in a week is very solid!

[@korvmojs]

Great series! Would be nice to have some more detail like what the plan is for the day, distance wise etc. And maybe some more description why you do some things

[@AlBundy319]

I love the idea and excited of this journey! Can you please consider to adjust the editing though? As sometimes there is *bleep* for the curse words, on some videos there isn't. Perhaps just go with the cursing then, I don't think anybody would be bothered. Would be nice to see the actual journey as in the running, planning the daily run, the view, and less time on the car and the support group in general. Also, sometimes conversations are very loud, sometimes it's barely audible, I have to adjust the volume multiple times on each video. Take no offense please, it's just suggestions, I would love to see this journey to become an incredible series, a long lasting and intrigue for multiple views.

[@GrandDawggy]

The crew, the hardest geezer, the editing. All 🔥

[@rugzakkerreizen]

Wow! Great editing. I feel like it’s getting more and more views. This is such an awesome idea, but you guys are so crazy to actually do it. Good luck and I’ll follow you along the journey!
