This border is the biggest obstacle to my journey. Here’s why… Running Africa #47

[@avalanchas336]

Gotta be honest the stripped edit with less in-van-banter and more running and driving is actually pretty engaging and refreshing

[@blaneslattery1050]

Hard agree - the in van questions from Stan were getting tired and very samey nice change this

[@VodkaSelekta]

I have come to accept the channel for what it is but more running footage rather than logistics would be cool. Sometimes it's hard to know what you're going through out there.

[@Nooticus]

Disagree about the logistics part. The logistics is the main reason I find this series so engaging. If Russ was doing this across the USA for example I wouldn’t be interested because the logistics are almost non-existent

haha. @@AustinCurtis

[@jackholmes225]

16:41 I thought Stan had fully shaved his head and turned ginger somehow.

[@michaelahopkins4798]

I have been SEARCHING for this comment!

[@Rafutah]

Yes I had to do a double take too LOL

[@joshengland4202]

Props to Gus, insane driving

[@DustyCustard]

Russ & Guus are great team together, really cool to see you helping each other out.

[@CallumWoodbridge]

From a fellow editor - pulling together all of this iPhone footage shot at different times across a continent all under a sheet at the side of the road with limited WiFi is an insane achievement. Well in lads, keep up the good work and the pints are on me if you're ever in Liverpool! (Also props to Russ running the whole thing I guess)

[@JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ]

The running is the easy bit!

[@tombroad1467]

Love seeing Gus’s personality come out more and more each video ❤️. Keep it up boys!

[@breqsteve7162]

I fully agree. He is getting less shy of the camera. Who knows, maybe he will start vlogging. Tof avontuur Gus.

[@SlaterGator]

Yous got a Hilux with highway tyres. Get some all terrains.

[@Nooticus]

Unbelievable editing schedule. Props to both of u editors. Mind blowing

[@gavinrush4995]

It’s high quality for sure!

[@CMP369]

Lads are back on the editing with a vengeance 👊😂

[@ste1l1]

I'm far more invested in the logistics of the missions now than the actual running haha 😂

[@alasdairmcdermott]

This is by far the best KZbin series I’ve ever encountered, massive props to everyone on the team

[@onlineo2263]

It is yet half way though and subs are only at 135,000. Surely this deserves 1m+ views per video. Time to try a perfect Ted 😂

[@knuckles-3386]

@@onlineo2263yes but neither of you are cute with blonde hair and blue eyes

[@jtotheb5440]

really love the vlogging, feels much closer. and russ and guus camping on top of a mountain in nigeria seems like such an amazing vibe

[@TopFroth]

Favourite episode yet boys! This editing format, the vlog style, and the dynamics between the boys are great! Keep it up! Sending love from Aus!

[@skumparn]

I dont understand why this series has not got more views. By far the best series on YT atm

[@robertcoulter7592]

"my names Russ Cook and I'm attempting to be the first person ever to run the length of Africa" - music to my ears every video. He'll do it too - go on lads! 🏃🏻‍♂️✌🏻

[@EatmyStardust]

That is SO BEAUTIFUL how Russ interacts with the children! Ohhhhhhh. Changing the world in his way. Leaving his mark. And wow what a mark. 💫

[@Jh9801]

Have loved really seeing Gusses personality shine the past few episodes

[@BH-ix7nq]

All of them?

[@EJproductionsxD]

This episode was absolutely insane. Wow.

[@jonnyashley6013]

Possibly my favorite episode so far

[@lukepalmer9697]

Likewise

[@tomdale2277]

Loving the increase in the amount of videos coming out now! Huge effort from the boys

[@NcMuggets]

You guys got crazy lucky with those roads. Some of them were so close to being completely impassable, like one more day of rainfall and there’d have been no chance.

[@MxCrab]

Holy shit, Stan is looking *good*,,,

[@juicebox8069]

Best episode yet. Mental stuff this, props to the editing team who are absolutely pumping out the videos too

[@MisterChappy]

love the format currently. the A & B story mixes things up really well. also love the amount of Russ cam

[@Dace-g7t]

Guss is the man

[@darkmann12]

Now there's gotta be a "pissed blood AGAIN" in the intro surely lol

[@tommy-g5k]

My heart dropped when gus drove over that road

[@EatmyStardust]

Russ said once that he doesn’t like cuddles. That really touched me. How sad. Being cuddled and loved is beautiful. My son said when he was about 11 and I was feeling irritated because he wanted SO MANY CUDDLES. NEEDED them …” who doesn’t like cuddling?! Its the best!” And I realised in that moment of his innocent, pure, true answer….that HUGS can heal the world. Just a loving cuddle/ touch can mean so much to the other. To feel loveable.

[@SWatchik]

The whole team are inspirations, from Stans haircutting skills, Guus' driving and just Russ being Russ

[@Nickelnine37]

Loved the little summary of Nigeria. Would love to see more of that, like to learn about the local culture languages people etc

[@DanielFinton]

Gus is an elite driver man

[@sethtbaguley]

Crushing the Vlog life Russ! The biggest life lesson I've taken from this series - You can't do it alone. The team success in the face of adversity is unreal and speaks to the need of others when we face tough times.

[@nicdebeer3593]

Stans accent really did change after the delerium

[@BadDubII]

This series is so good. Also shoutout to the people that helped yous out when stuck in the mud

[@bentory2002]

Ya boy looking mighty transparent at 19:55

[@emissaryofelohim1431]

Take the 5 minutes of time, to put extra care into the little things that are essential for the fulfillment of the vision,.. like pulling over and CLEANING THE WINDSHIELD! Bang Bang!

[@bradley7487]

Looking good Stan you don't look like Harry Potter at rock bottom anymore

[@fischer-felix]

Can we just talk about the fact that Jamie and Stan sound exactly the same? Sometimes I can't even tell apart who's takling 😂😅

[@oneofmanyjames-es1643]

I'm still on the fence as to whether Russ has a warehouse full of editor clones

[@fischer-felix]

@@oneofmanyjames-es1643 plot twist: the whole boat thing is just a distraction for them to fly in a new Stan

[@RyanRyan-Ryan]

16:41 thought that was stan until he actually appeared on screen lol

[@Z1vel]

Been following from the start and that was the most engaging episode ever. The roads are intense and the editing was superb

[@LiveTheDash]

Those roads are NUTS! Enjoyed the new style vid though 👏

[@marshayame]

My jaw dropped at least 5 times when I saw some of the "road" conditions

[@louise7552]

Still no snake encountered 😢. Who would have thought that possible 🤔 But people at the save the Wildlife Sanctuary, ANGELS. ❤❤❤

[@RobertGillespie]

that episode was epic! those roads are crazy! if u even can call them roads lol

[@EJproductionsxD]

Omg at 16:45 I thought that was Stan having gone completely bald

[@nudel9296]

Its really cute to see a friendshio form between Russ and Guus

[@graham8854]

This show just gets better and better. Going well boys!

[@jeffspointofview]

The episodes are coming in thick & fast, I like it.

[@tijldeclerck7772]

This whole journey is insane. Amazing to follow you guys along the route.

[@jegerjon1991]

Guss amazing driving man, those roads were insane haha holy shit 😂

[@jamieguthrie1760]

Is Harry coming back at any point? Would be nice to see him featuring again!

[@yorkshireguy6671]

I definitely prefer this style of video with more logistics and running 🏃‍♂️ 💪 you are smashing it!

[@TheMightyMidge21]

One of the few accounts where I won’t skip the ads! The positivity and calm from everyone is class

[@simonfield5996]

Vlogging style is sooooo much better than normal vids

[@TECHSAVI_1]

Finall i saw my village ❤❤❤❤

[@MyBikeIsAwesome]

Watching those roads gave me so much stress

[@voetbal12]

1:11 - Russ has been saying it everyday, and finally has the chance to visit it and goes right past it. "Beng-Beng"

[@jimmarshall5453]

I'm amazed you would attempt this without a big winch on both the front and rear.

[@laurenemily1766]

Absolute rocket of an episode! Love this format guys

[@jonask912]

Mind blowing editing, mind blowing content!! Thank you so much, keep it up!

[@EuropesNinja]

The videos are coming so fast!!! You guys are unstoppable!!

Can you guys get an affiliate link for Perfect Ted? Love the series, and would love to support it indirectly

[@jonsavage4254]

Gus is a proper legend

[@jwest8330]

1:12 there is a place called beng-beng, like what? =D

[@fergusbray3329]

"It was nice to know we weren't completely insane." 😂😂

[@TheNails3]

Guus' driving was really impressive, wow

[@Codsworth_]

Maybe my favourite episode yet!

[@jessicarusso360]

love more of the point of view. either way this is the best stuff on youtube.... cant wait for your next adventure and I am not even finished with this series.

Yet another top notch episode in the best series on youtube rn!

you easily deserve 10x subscribers

[@spickymaster]

loved this week! Nice to see more of guss, impressive!!!!

[@McKayLove]

those roads are insane! you guys really need to invest in a winch and some knobby tires to stuck-proof the 4x4

[@hanswoast7]

You are all nuts. And I love it.

[@Reptex_cs]

Mate you are made of a different material. When I first met you on Geowizards channel I was skeptical, but now you and I are best friends and there's nothing you can do about it👊

[@hunterwyeth]

Stan with the glow-up 😉 looking fresh

[@tomdale2277]

This was a great episode, the mixture of vlogging bits from both "Storylines" was awesome! Man i hope the van doesn't fall in the ocean...

[@bensmith9719]

Love the Geez&Gus combo. Keep it up lads

[@garethhowley5643]

Great vibe in this video prob my fav episode so far

[@andr3asala]

This new frequency of uploads is FIRE!!!!

[@Biggestfoot9000]

if you guys still are driving with rear wheel drive only you can put weight over your back axel to significantly increase the traction when you run into a sketchy mudpit. big up to u guys keep up the good work

[@youme1414]

Thank you, sirs.

[@syrus3k]

I love this so much.

[@owenbrown929]

Get some slides or planks of wood with string for those river crossings I reckon save u from dem sharp rocks and eels

[@FergusPateman]

Actually really like the vlog-style videos.. the contrast is nice for now. Those roads .....

[@Nooticus]

Honestly massive massive props to Laura from the wildlife sanctary for giving the team the tip-off about this obscure border crossing. If they hadn't have found it, the entire mission wouldn't have been possible safely and without going on a boat (which Russ considers a failure of the mission). Also, these roads were 'MASH-UP BOI' as Russ would say. Fucking insane they made it through this. Barring any major incidents, I think the rest of the mission is going to feel easy compared to these roads. Absolute legends, cannot beleive this shit is actually happening!

[@bv3bv334]

Brilliant, brilliant docu you boys are producing here. Keep plodding, Russ. Iron Man!

[@Ringstaartmakiaardpeer]

Refreshing episode, too much conversations in the van last couple of episodes. Keep it up!

[@daniellord8668]

Great vid this one lads. Thoroughly enjoyed the new format.
