Great to see you using the new set up, tweeking things and working out solutions. Field use is the only way to truly get your vehicle how you need 👍

Hi Andrew Always good to see what you are up to A good idea for the bedding in a custom balsak if you were in the army back then you will know what I am talking about The bed roll is quite a mission to roll up and secure,a ripstop sleeve with Velcro seal ,place both balsak and mattress on roof rack and secure 😁 I am fascinated how everything seem to be attached to the vehicle with these builds sometimes nice to have austent table and cook on a fire with beautiful hard wood coals Simple overlanding without the frills for me Cheers

Hi, is this a Yappie trying to wear a kikoi? I started to wear a kikoi when I was sent to boarding school in Kenya in 1947 as we wore it in lieu of pyjamas. The Kikoi has been part of my night dress ever since then serving me well in spite of all the jokes about it during twenty years of army service! Good presentation of your nomadic motoring life, may you carry on for many more adventures. Cheers mate Harera

A friend of mine did a trip to Botswana once with a bunch of mates. He had a case of 6 bottle's of whiskey in his car. On the Namibian side of the border, the border guards refused to let him take the booze across, so instead of letting them keep it all, he proceeded to smash the bottles on the ground...all six.😅

Schalk has a very nifty mossie-net / curtain stick on setup, which can roll away when not in use, and would probably even work over the gull-wing windows. He put them on my side windows and I used them daily to keep the mossies out while in Botswana / Caprivi.

Hi Andrew, I’ve been following you along all these years. I’m wondering why you don’t use motion sensing lights at the back or inside the troopy. It safes battery and reduces light pollution at night. The lights are easy to find „LED closet light motion sensor“ 👍

weird how many people trust on auto settings. when schooling journalists at camera work, i always teached to have a routine like takeoff checklists. especially if filming is not the main task to perform, other things then occupy the brain. that time being spend can be used on optimising an image instead of just getting it in. i would recommend to add a manual lens with sony adapter, or a small analog camera setup that throws one back to the basics.

Andrew, be aware those Firestryker extinguishers are not the best, you need to hold them too close to a fire, ok for controlled small fire but useless for a larger fire where a std extinguisher is preferred, you can do short bursts from a safe distance.

I know you love the troopy but I wish you would build something more relevant to most of the world. Your 105 build was cool but never used and the troopy is played out by all the KZbinrs. I know you don’t like towing but Alu Cab makes other products you could build something with. Maybe a Hilux, or maybe something else like the patriot camper trailer. Towing isn’t bad if you have the right vehicle and you don’t do any crazy off roading that you would have issues. Awesome content and we will always support you.
