Howdie from ZA. I'm in absolute awe and envy after watching this. Cant start to explain the emotions. thank you so much for sharing these old videos. brings back so much of memories! hats off to the ladies for baking a cake on the fire. its a lost art among the modern ladies. Even a normal potato in the fire wrapped in foil. You are by far the best overlanding content creator I've seen thank you for what you give and teach. Hope to see an update on the SA troopy soon.

[@sharathraj7906]

Everyone in this video will be above 60 years except the kids and kids too will be above 40 years, what a memory for them to watch again their videos

[@lancerutherford3933]

But this was from 1996, not 1984

[@Sandy_Seats]

Don't let the big money boys fool you, THIS is overland. Andrew, this is the single best half hour of 4x4 content I have seen in YEARS

[@johanneswehrmann]

I adore these old school content which saw the light of day in an era where “likes and followers” did not exist or matter. 🙌🏼

[@mattluszczak8095]

Andrew this footage is gold. A lot of filming of the people that attended , the landies, conversation, the trip the outdoors.!

[@nmda9578]

I absolutely loved watching this. I would’ve been a little older than the age of the birthday girl when this was filmed. This reminded me of my family’s camping trips. I’m full of happy nostalgia right now. Thank you for sharing!

[@michaelharris1455]

I'm really enjoying these older movies, Andrew, they remind me of the films I saw as a youngster, that gave me the bug for adventure and expeditions. Thank you for sharing them.

[@craigbutler623]

Life goes by way too quickly. Awesome as always Andrew!

[@ozarksailor2714]

The defender is a natural movie star. The shape is just right.

[@mrdoodle8748]

Did the exact same journey solo in 1997, camped at The Eye in Kuruman, sadly no longer possible. Awesome scenery up that way. The Richtersveld is something else.

[@danielb8901]

Andrew and Gwen these are the best home movies I have ever seen. These movies make me feel happy and surely this is what overlanding is all about, family and friends travelling together having fun and enjoying each others company. Your so lucky having these movies to look back at old memories. Love the music to and fits so well with the movie.

[@douglasmarriner6571]

I had many great adventures in my one ten. It was my last Landrover, having previously had a couple os series 2a's and series 3. My favourite was my 2a shorty. Though I'm not sure that it would have been that suitable once I had a family to take along.

[@TheOverlandLegend]

Great thanks for sharing real life footage of times when life seemed a lot simpler

[@RoamingRooma]

Well done Andrew. I hope next gen kids will appreciate nature as same as you and me. Enjoyed very much watching this vid

[@CHAGrady]

You’re an inspiration Andrew. I wish I had the insight to film my family back in the day. 1994 I was 21. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@bobw9297]

LOL , makes me feel 24 again , the out fits , the gear and everybody smoked back in the day 😉

[@petepeterson4540]

I agree with you there the substance is still as good as today.

[@darrennorth929]

Check out how high that roof rack is above the roof on the red Land Rover. This video is so good. Old school.

[@tonydownunder5703]

I do hope you have a lot more of these old movies to share ?? Great stuff thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍👍

[@johanpretorius3759]

Stunning scenery and stunning travelling companions make for the most memorable trips.. This is excellent! We are planning a similar trip in September to the Richtersveld.. Will be my youngsters first " Safari" wild camping experience

[@yorkchris10]

The most memorable thing about Super 8, was when my maternal grandfather woudl reverse the projector on a film he had made of a dump truck dropping its load. This was before we would know anything about magnetism.

[@raymondallo9947]

OMG I fainted not a Toyota, lol. So glad to see the 110. To me it will forever remain the quintessential 4x4. My first experience was in a Series 2 when I was 4. Fastforward 60 odd years and I drive a Puma 110 and my daughter a TD5. Compliments for the vintage footage, just beautiful and looked all so innocent and carefree. That commercial had a great touch putting the spout in the tank intake instead of on the jerry can. Well done.

[@4xoverland]

In 40 years I've owned 19 4x4s. There are 5 Land Rovers, 2 Mercedes and the rest Land Cruisers. I moved to Land Cruisers because I was tired of the effort needed to prepare my Land Rovers for expeditions. On the trip in this video, both press Defenders were on loan from Land Rover, one lost its air-con and the other all 4 shocks, which we had to replace at our cost. My own One-Ten had severe steering box issues and the gearbox had starting to make loud noises, which needed rebuilding the same year with only 60K kms on the clock. This doesn't happen with Land Cruisers. It just doesn't! And this is why I drive them. I currently own one Land Rover and two Land Cruisers.

[@raymondallo9947]

@@4xoverland Sure, but equally the Defenders have improved a bit since you owned one. It does not matter. There is a passion and support in the Defender community which I think is amazing. I have not encountered that in any other car brands. And the Land Rover Defender community is wider spread around the world. I appreciate you love your Land Cruiser. You are passionate about that car.

[@4xoverland]

good discussion. The love of Land Cruisers worldwide must top a similar love for Defender by a factor of 20 or more. You are probably not aware of it, because its not part of your world. The difference is this: A Land Rover fan rarely has any interest in anything but the brand. They tend to fixate on it. My recent Range Rover series got me a ton of new subscribers most of whom left when I restarted posting Land Cruiser content. Many, if not most Land Rover owners considers Toyotas as lifeless, and without soul. I know this. Because 30+ years ago, this was me. Then after a period with Land Cruisers I learned that there is a following every bit as passionate. But around the campfire, Land Rover owners tend to talk of little else, but their cars, what they want to fix or add to it. Land Cruiser owners talk far more about places they want to go. I remember reading many, many articles in 4WD magazines. On Land Rover trips, articles were typically 90% about the vehicles, but with Land Cruiser trips, talk about the cars rarely exceeded 10%. And this is because Land Rovers tend to make themselves part of the story. Land Cruisers not so much. I've driven both on extended expeditions. And so I have first hand experience.

[@raymondallo9947]

@@4xoverland I am not aware what happens in Land Cruiser world as it is not my world. I assume you talk about the whole Land Cruiser family regarding your factor 20, where is I am more comparing the Troopy world to the Defender world. Anyway it does not matter. My father in-law (rest his soul) was a Toyota man and no good word for Defenders until I had to rescue him one time in his Land Cruiser Sahara. He never owned one, but only went on the military experience his brother had with Defenders. The old chestnut you go out with 3 and come back with 2. Family... sigh, all in good jest. I guess LR owners tend to talk more about their cars as they have more issues then Toyotas. I am not one of them. I like a nice little talk about the car, but get bored quickly. I owned many luxury SUVs (BMW, AUDI,VW), but the Defender always had a special place with me since South Africa when I was a 4/5 yr old boy. My Defender is my daily driver. We almost bought an Ineos Grenadier too. And as much as I love the car there are many other things I find more important then the Defender. And I guess like you if you are on trip and sit around the fire, the last thing I want to talk about is the car.

[@beast6able]

Looking back on the whole camping times,they were a lot more carefree. You prepared and went.

[@istp1967]

This has made cry; but because of all the good memories 😂

[@OTRWA]

Awesome... it's nostalgic with some form of soul... some digital filters may produce similar results today...but as you say...great story telling all the same... Cheers for sharing.

[@r1017397]

Thanks for taking us on this journey Andrew!!!!!! When you start your Africa touring, have you contemplated retracing some bits of this trip???

[@4xoverland]

I have already retraced them, in fact, three times.

[@boediwiyarno2914]

The Old Land Rover Defender is still a good looking car until today.

[@barnesy8523]

Love it love it heart and soul. The 110 just adds to the adventure of it all. Past memories are so telling. Awesome

[@mattluszczak8095]

Yeeehaaaa Andrew.. what memories. Thanks for sharing! Makes us think of our own adentures.. one my dad titled expedition 2000...

[@reichlha1968]

What a remarkable life

[@nelsyoung833]

Lovely content and lovely song by ccwr as well. Keep it up!

[@badrka4641]

Thank you for sharing these lovely memories with us 🚙🏞️🏜️🏔️⛰️

[@Jasmine-cn4wc]

What a blessing watching the video! loved the feeling of getting hit by a wave of nostalgia and taking a trip down the memory lane.

[@hermanuswallis4810]

Hermanus from Centurion South Africa love it

[@laurencemunro]

Been to deHoop six months ago, looks almost the same!! Park roads is a bit better, but the minig roads to get to Sendelingsdrif is shocking. I love the simplicity of the bush tech, obviously what was available back in the day, and the fuel price - the good ol days. Aptitude makes good memories

[@sharathraj7906]

Very nice ad at last 😅

[@kevinrichards8119]

Good stuff Andrew.Best wishes from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@claudiocisternas2920]

I was just a kid in 1984, barely knew anyhting about other countries and cultures, but these videos make me feel so nostalgic about a world that will never be the same. By the way, best CCR song by far!

[@runesteinsnnkristoffersen5641]

Good to see , but where have all the years gone 🙄 BUT , some of us are still in OneTen / Defender - mode after 40-year👍😊

[@rahsomali]

This is cool to watch.

[@RogerCampillo]

So wonderful. I can’t imagine how do feel when rewatching this memories. Wonderful

[@VasileT]

Andrew, you lived a long and fulfilling life, this is such a nice video. The ad at the end is gold!

[@alwynvanwyk1851]

Evolution does exist. 😂😂😂 Even Defenders are replaced by Pretenders... Nice memory run, Andrew... The Richtersfeld hasn't changed, except for some new ablutions and camps... Good place "to go and find yourself"....

[@einarsteinsson]

Brilliant! Thanks!

[@erikcele1604]

Thanks for this 3 woderfull series you have given out, it looked amazing back in the days! Congrats to 40 years overlanding and lets injoy 40 more with your amazing talent sir! Well Done. Wish you all the best for this year and all you have to give us on your Chanel! Kind regards Erik

[@dave7180ify]

I watched a documentary on the last overland from Singapore to London based on the original 1955 London to Singapore, the team used the original Land Rover defender from the first expedition, it was definitely worth a watching.

[@Fergus_Afrique]

This video was for me, very nostalgic, I enjoyed it so much. Thanks

[@mavericmorph5358]

Reminds me of the road trips we had when I was young. Keep up the great work.

[@adenwellsmith6908]

Very Kenny Everett! :-)

[@taurota1554]

Outstanding and awesome as always.Thanks for sharing down your memory lane and taking us along.

[@ghostwheelinshadow]

Back in the days when Land Rover made aspirational off road vehicles 😢

[@jackp-j1041]

WOW, A Welsh song!

[@captbob1494]

Cool man

[@rbouncier669]

Wonderful, thanks for sharing this. Simpler times. So much of this “overlanding” thing has just become gear oriented, we used to just say we going on a camping road trip. Then as now, your trips don’t involve vehicles with stupidity high lifts and cartoon size tires, which in America it seems we need to go to Starbucks.

[@4wd4mentalhealth58]

That's piece of music that you used with the footage at the beach and again later in the video sounds almost exactly like Going Home by Mark Knopler. I'm wondering if it's a cover or if it's the original.

[@4xoverland]

Its the original from my favourite movie, Local Hero.

[@njingaradebe9652]

Did the 110 have lockers?

[@4xoverland]

no. Two of them were press cars, and the One Ten was mine. None of us had lockers.

[@Stevenk770]

How did you edit vhs tapes back then?

[@4xoverland]

Being a professional film editor, I transferred all the footage to Sony U-Matic, edited it, then mastered it on 8mm video tape, and much later digitized it. So these are 4 generations down from the original footage.

[@wilburburger6155]

R1,91 for fuel! Only place nowadays where you find such cheap fuel is in Angola. However I am not sure about the quality of the fuel.

[@alexkirsten7818]

Not barbecue, but braai

[@keith6360]

Of course your stories were interesting then despite the quality, you had land rovers! Breakdowns made for great stories. PS. hope you'd get another classic defender and classic G and do it with modern accessories. Apply all the knowledge you've gained in the last 4 decades with ,odern shocks, tires, drawer systems, etc The 70 series has been long in the tooth already.

[@rawper23]

It’s 110, not One Ten 😂
