[@davegreenwood1663]

Everyone should appreciate the hard work you and Kai put into making these videos.The research .Drone work.The music.And editing.Ect Ect.

[@Thebluelandy]

Thank you so much Dave! This one took me many days to edit :S I hope people can enjoyed them as much as we did experience these places. We also love to revive these moments through the video editing process!

[@dennishopemzumara5681]

What an amazing guy Kai is. A Mechanic, a surfer, a good driver, a good negotiator he almost flows in seamlessly into everything. And what a beautiful couple you two are. Beautiful voiceover, beautiful balance to everything, Irati. We are travelling with you. Please continue to enjoy this amazing priceless experience and radiate the beauty you are showing us even behind the scenes. We love you.

[@Thebluelandy]

I gotta say, yes Kai is absolutely resourceful! Without him, we both would not have made it this far! Thank you for the compliment! This video took me a long time to edit actually and reading your comment lighted up my day! We will continue making these videos, let's see if we can deliver 😉see you around!

[@johndiaz7240]

Kai you are quite the man , congratulations.

[@Thebluelandy]

Hey John, thanks for the nice words, but I’m just doing what I love. I guess it’s not hard to make anyone look good, when he/she is doing what they love

[@richardmoore7381]

Liminal moment when the ocean and the desert embrace. Loving your videos, and brings back happy memories of twenty years driving my TD5 90, think it’s about time I bought another…

[@richardmoore7381]

Picked up a green TD5 110 yesterday - 🙂 - first outing, Normandy next month

[@That_Guy_Outside]

This is award-winning work. Beautiful, inspiring, and adventurous. Bravo.

[@Thebluelandy]

WOW! thank you so much!! So happy that you enjoyed it. We loved capturing this place, it was such a rough but beautiful location. It took me time to put it together haha but it turned out to be great, so glad you appreciated!! :)

[@jonajames-x7c]

Awesome. 10/10 to the video person and editor (who I think is the same person 🙃) for showing Namibia how ir is. Spot on and safe travels. Pity we counldnt meet up for an evening.

[@Thebluelandy]

Thank you so much! This one was difficult to put together and edit! The video turned out good in my mind, but then Kai mentioned that it might be looking like too nice for the roughness of the place! Haha 😉next one has also amazing shots but we show more of the roughness of the coast!

[@laurentnicolas1550]

Great ! Your vids deserve many many more views !!!

[@Thebluelandy]

Thank you Laurent! It's difficult to reach our audience sometimes! 🤷

[@SoulTonicLife]

Nice! It’s difficult to capture Namibia in words but I think you made a valiant attempt. Looks like Namibia is creeping into your hearts 👍

[@Thebluelandy]

Thank you! Oh yeah there is definitely a place reserved for Namibia. And I’m sure we will be back!

[@badfinger61]

Another super episode! Namibia has lots of wide open spaces, rugged beauty, and few people. Perfect for exploring!

[@Thebluelandy]

Thank you so much again! And happy that you liked it! This one was a bit different, we stayed a bit longer and were able to experience the roughness of this place. And also captured it. That being said, we were so lucky with the weather the first days. Wait for the next video 👀

[@Badfinger7761]

Can’t wait to see your further adventures! 👍

[@stevestott1514]

Wild and free and oh so dangerously beautiful coast line . Thanks again for sharing your wonderful travel memories and adventures with us all your over landing friends . ( As a side note be very careful following drag marks the animals that took it my be near by and will attack out of hiding some times to protect there food .) wild animals are beautiful but can be very dangerous . Be safe 😁am loving your Africa journey very much . Cheers from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A. :) :) 🍻😁👍🏼.

[@Thebluelandy]

Exactly Steve!! It sounds contradictory,but that's why this place is so special, it can leave you breathless by the beauty but also miserable and feeling deeply scared due to the environment. 😵

[@user-te6wt3ig6v]

Another great video, great narration and a relaxing viewpoint. Once again thank you for showing everything that goes into traveling like this. Your vehicle is more than just a mode of travel, it's your home, your best friend/worst friend and your ticket to the unknown. Keep the videos coming 🤙🏾

[@Thebluelandy]

It is absolutely our home! We take care of it a lot, so we can continue using it for adventures 😎 there is so much that goes to travel fulltime, sometimes is difficult to show, but I think if you have followed us for a while and watched our videos ,you can get a pretty good idea of how is it. Thank you for the compliment and happy that you enjoyed this one! Hope we can continue delivering 💪

[@annifox8223]

a realy nice episode, with many beautiful pictures 🙂👌

[@Thebluelandy]

Danke ☺️

[@HermanLabuschagne]

Those are jackal tracks, not lion. The bigger ones might be hyena, can't see clearly. You're safe. :-) Thanks for sharing your incredible journey!

[@attieven3789]

Agree

[@Thebluelandy]

Thanks for reaching out, yeah in the meantime we learned to read tracks batter as we recorded we weren’t that sure, and we wanted to see lions too 😂

[@Straitjacket808]

Awesome video. Amazing area.

[@Thebluelandy]

It was absolutely stunning but super harsh! Most of the people barely stays around. And miss some of the good stuff! 😜

[@rohanchapman4159]

Amazing adventure you guys are having. I'm hooked on your video's

[@Thebluelandy]

Glad you like them! Thank you so much

[@12kerryman]

Very enjoyable

[@Thebluelandy]

Glad you think so! Thank you

[@grahames9228]

I bet it felt good getting back on the surfboard.

[@Thebluelandy]

Indeed it did! Can’t get enough of it

[@paulg16]

Hi guys, I found your videos on youtube a while ago and now going though the ones we missed from the start. Great content and you make a good team for sure. One question, I think the bluelandy has a 50mm lift, is that right? That could be why your bushings are failing after 40k. I had tte same issues on a 50mm lift so fitted castor correction arms front and back on my 110 overlander. All premature bushing problems went away and the handeling and steering of the vehicle was unbelievably better and ive not looked back since. So worth it. Safe travels to you both.

[@Thebluelandy]

Hey Paul, thank you for the nice words, appreciate the feedback! I think it’s little below 50mm lift I just the 130 springs. I was thinking to get the corrected push rods and radius arms. But with all the weight we’re carrying we basically have no lift and we’re on stock hight. Still going to think about it. Thank you

[@hjumavideo]

Very nice insight in travelling in Africa. Well done

[@Thebluelandy]

Thank you so much! That's an amazing compliment 👏 our intention is to stay true to the place and show our views and experience at the same time. Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@joachimfritz2406]

Erlaubt mir, euch einen Tipp zu geben: beim Fahren haltet die Daumen auf dem Lenkradkranz und nie in Lenkradkranz. Wie leicht bricht der Daumen, wenn das Lenkrad umschlägt, weil ihr mit einem Vorderrad auf ein Hindernis oder in eine plötzliche Vertiefung geraten seid. Sonst bin ich als "alter" Offroader ganz begeistert von eurer Reise und der Qualität euer Filmausrüstung. Viel Glück und Take Care n

[@Thebluelandy]

Hey Joachim, vielen Dank! da versuchen wir drauf zu achten. Klappt nicht immer aber danke für den tip!

[@rahalati]

Thanks for sharing. @ 5:11 you are holding Diff oil bottle which is in a bread plastic bag! I am curious to know where you got this bread bag! Usually this kind of bread is found in Aarab countries, the company is Lusine bread

[@Thebluelandy]

You have an amazing eye!! We got it from Jordan if I remember well. I love your comment, thank you tons for it, it brought really good memories :)

[@Schla-Gulp]

Kann man eigentlich viel an eurem Auto selber reparieren und was sind die Ersatzteile die ihr alles so dabei habt ? Oder genauer gefragt, was geht häufiger kaputt ?

[@Thebluelandy]

Ja, wenn man sich ein bisschen auskennt kann man so gut wie alles selbst machen. Was geht häufig kaputt? Nix bisher 😅 doch die Türknöpfe nerven etwas 😂. Ersatzteile hab ich schon das ein oder andere. Zb ein Service Kit(Filter), Keilriemen und Kugellager für den Riementrieb. Kabel, Kabelbinder, Sicherungen, Antriebsflansch (für narbe), Radlager und Bremsbeläge… und noch ein Paar schön mehr. Können wir aber mal ein Video drüber machen.

[@spraymaster]

Keep the rope that connects the leash to your surfboard shorter. Otherwise the rope will damage your board if it hangs over the edge of the tail.

[@Thebluelandy]

Thanks for the hint! Going to keep it short

[@spraymaster]

@@Thebluelandy All the best for the rest of your journey. Would you consider doing such a trip if you had kids, or would you say that this is too dangerous? I would love to go from Austria to South Africa along the Atlantic coast of Africa, surfing in every country (if I had the budget) together with my family and learn about the culture and traditions of each country.

[@Thebluelandy]

Hey sorry for the late reply. that’s a good question, I liked Africa but it can be stressful. if you are not used to culture and the amount of people, Especially in central Africa. I guess west Africa is there even more extrem than the east route. I believe kids add another layer responsibility which can be channeling. It is possible, we never really felt in danger, only in lion territory 😅 I think I’ll visit the upper part until Senegal and the lower part until Angola in the future but skip the middle. Yes, you can do it but be aware what yourself and your family into 😅 maybe start with a trip until Senegal to see if it’s something for you.

[@rrdayalan]

KYE = SUPERMAN (Vlogger, Driver, Surfer, Mechanic, Environmentalist) what else is inside you....

[@Thebluelandy]

Thank you so much, but I gotta say it's easy to look good if you only do what you like and what you're good at. 😅😜

[@justinstark3504]

You need to go to Skeleton Bay in Namibia EPIC surfing spot , check it out on KZbin

[@Thebluelandy]

Yeah! Check the next video (coming out on Sunday) ;)

[@hjumavideo]

Of you two whose more patient and calm, I guess you both get tested a lot by nature. You must write a book

[@Thebluelandy]

A trip like this teaches you tons! Specially to put things in perspective and don't he too serious about things. It is weird to say it, because it sounds cliche but it kind of makes you see the world and your place in it differently. About a book, I don't think we would have the time and motivation right now 😝 hope you enjoy our videos though 😜

[@awievanrooyen2295]

See I told you..... drive that stupid car and you end up spending half your trip on keeping a pig on the road...next time surf Guns, Pelican point, Vineta, Thick Lip, Stink Piel and more....😅

[@Thebluelandy]

Haha, yeah the car needs attention from time to time but it’s not so bad! I prefer that then spending half my budget on a Toyota 😅. I’ll be back in Namibia, going to check those waves, thanks. I believe we checked guns but it was not on.
