The editing of this episode was unreal - literally a full documentary edited in 3 days - unreal stuff Stan. If this doesn’t make Netflix or Similar want to jump on the documentary wagon then I don’t know what will! If this is what you can get off one event…think of the whole trip. Great works guys

[@tommyrichards1589]

"I told him I didn't have one and he bought it. Sweet!" Never change Russ

[@binkybombastic6200]

You all make such a good team, it’s unbelievable. Russ - thinking quickly and immediately figuring out what goes on in the robber‘s heads, Jarred - although having the experience in Martial Arts deciding not to try to stop them in any way and then Harry - being so courageous and saying No to getting out of the van but at the same time deciding to give away those important things with the intention to save themselves. You couldn’t have done it any better. You had to give them the stuff, otherwise you never know if they would have been satisfied and have done something worse. And not to forget Stan - taking in the news so calmly and then making this documentary out of it! Brilliant!! The editing, beautiful!

THE GAME IS THE GAME Way to tell a full story about your situation and make it abundantly clear how great your experience has been in Angola minus this situation. You're right. We never know whats pushes somebody to that extent to need to rob someone. It sucks but you boys will be back soon ABSOLUTELY SMASHING TARMAC

[@FrostedBacon]

You guys have such a great attitude and understanding of why this situation happened and it's very admirable that you're all still saying again and again how you still love Angola and the people. Hope you can get back to stomping on the tarmac soon and finish the mission!

[@Blandge]

It was statistically the most likely to happen in either South Africa or Angola as they have the highest crime index of countries in Africa. It was honestly just a matter of time. Publishing their route and location, highly publicized, driving an extremely recognizable vehicle. They aren't even 1/4 of the way through the journey, and this is the second attempted robbing so far (along with the time Russ almost got robbed running after dark), and it will most likely happen again multiple times. They just need to be prepared for it, and they'll probably be fine.

I've been following you for a while now, a good time before this journey started, we've talked a bit on IG too! I just want to say that I am continuously inspired by just how ridiculous this undertaking is and how far you've come so far. I have been meaning to do it for a while, but after seeing this I told myself NO MORE hesitating and I have finally signed up to your Patreon. I'm not in a position to run across Africa, but I would hate to be so supportive in the comments and then not feel like I'd contributed even a tiny amount. Now I can say I've helped just a little bit. Keep making history Russ. Setbacks pave the way for comebacks. Without a goal, you can't score.
