[@travelingsista]

Yes indeed! 🙏🏾

[@miagardner1504]

OMG y'all are sooo cute ☺ a forest cuddle. I enjoyed it. I hope you & Freddy will be blessed in all your endeavors🙏♥

[@VLeaders]

Freddy :Remember you're in thier habitat so to hear them having conversations with other friends is a natural thing." Beautifully stated. I loved that!

[@virtuousceolady6091]

I love yall energy together. It was so cute when Freddie said the next time you come to the forest you have to get yourself together. It's the animals' habitat. The look on your face was so adorable. That's that love honey, when he can tell you what to do, respectfully, and you gone head and comply cuz you know he's right. 😜

[@opalfruitcake]

Loved the vid, you are reaping blessings galore! May i ask? Are there trees planted inplace of those felled so deforestation is mitigated? Thanks x

[@ExistNNature]

Wood business is much needed. Y'all compliment each other.

[@dominiqueferguson2480]

Sis, this footage is documentary-worthy...yaaas!! Soooooo, your husband killed not one but two lions, eh?! LOL! He is too much! Nextflix or Amazon needs to hire y'all, seriously :) Thank you for sharing you and your husband's entrepreneurial journey. It's beautiful. I enjoyed every minute.

This is beautiful Kat 🧡 I wish I too was in Tanzania. I'd have come along for the journey! Enjoy camping!

[@jatonkilinc7498]

Congrats and great footage❤️! Btw, loved the convo the morning after. If you ever catch Freddie killing a lion be sure to CAPTURE that lol. I’m sure everyone would love to see that.

[@Sammagoose]

I love it when the two of you do video's together, this one is my favorite.

[@Joemrema]

Travelling Sista I love your videos, I but was just little concerned 😟 about cutting down the trees, I just thought it would have been great 👍 if you planted 2 trees for every tree you cut down. If you keep cutting down soon won't have trees to cut down. Also the animals that live in bushes won't have a home . I'm not against cutting down trees but if you plant new one I think it okey. FOR A EVERY TREE YOU CUT PLANT 2, for the animals and wildlife that live there.

[@reginaldwest4155]

Thinking the same.

[@lisalee5541]

(Disclaimer: I'm also NOT aganist timber Businesses)...but I agree with this comment and I'm genuinely intrigued, what obligations do you guys have as a company to compensate for the trees that you cut down and is there a limit to the amount of wood that you can harvest at any given period in that particular area. What measures are in place to ensure the forest is restored? Otherwise i really enjoy your content too. Apologies if I asked about this prematurely, but I would have loved to know your role/views on deforestation from the perspective of a timber company.

[@Joemrema]

@@lisalee5541 The fact that the video wasn't very clear, they will be alot of people looking at this video and seeing the opportunity too for business. Imagine having 100 people doing the same thing at the same time you can imagine the damage that will be done after 1 year of cutting down trees 🌳.

[@Rakonre]

The morning after is my favorite of all. Freddy killed how many lions??? 😂😂😂. That's what I tell my friends here in the States. I sometimes add tigers too 😂😂😂 and they still believe me

[@Sauka5]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I killed two elephants yesterday

[@effson20]

I loved the video. It almost felt as if I was there physically. I don't think I could have slept in a forest. I would have been so scared. You handled it like a professional girl 💪🏾. You guys had me laughing towards the end. Thanks for sharing with us. Peace, Love, and Guidance. 💕

[@asnathmosha9595]

Wow this whole video was amazing!! Do they replant after harvesting the trees? I always pray that we replenish what we take from mother nature. The wood is beautiful and I admire all of the hard work it entails. You and your husband are beautiful inside and out and you are a perfect couple! Thank you for filming this adventure and sharing!!

[@kyriosmalaka2312]

@16:55 I wonder if this tree is related to the one found on the Arabian Peninsula used to harvest the resin known as Dragon's Blood? The climate there is very arid, and that tree looks like it comes from an alien planet, but the "blood" looks almost identical. It would be interesting to find out. Maybe you're throwing money away without realizing it.

[@stevenbrown5332]

[@puntosxm]

Are the trees being replanted? Wouldn’t want to destroy one of the things that make Africa Africa.

What region is this?

[@desertblade1874]

Our house in Zanzibar rooftop is from Mninga wood, even though the house is more than 20 years old the roof and the main door is in perfect solid condition 😌 There's a saying: you're fool if you're rich enough but don't use Mninga in building your home

[@travelingsista]

I looove Mninga. It’s my favorite honestly. The color and the grain are just 😻😻😻

[@mariru8621]

Are the trees being replaced, the long drive shows alot of trees hv bn fallen......desertification

[@HavanansiData]

Timber business is a controllable business. Many regulations. They must be having all the permits, and some harvest planted ones

[@JewelsOnTheRun]

YASSSSSS 😍

[@nothingpoetic8618]

Nah mean?! 😂

[@deeafrica4782]

The wood looks beautiful. It's too bad they don't have pullies to lift the wood.

[@marydavis7978]

Africans are hard worker's! I admire them!😉😉😉😉

[@steveblow3394]

You are not an everyday content creator but each comes with a lesson. Today’s lesson is the communal way and symbiotic ways Africans naturally coexist. I was going to suggest why not gat a crane to do the lifting of the logs to the truck which might be cost effective and that in the long run but the connections your family and these guys build could lead to something s greater. When I was a kid, if someone gives birth and there would be a naming ceremony, the ladies in the community will come together to cook the meals for the ceremony. It is a thing of the past now and that’s why we are losing our africanness

Sad to see this very unsafe working procedure , basic ppe not used ! Freddie and sister you better invest in lifting gears as it won't cost much and yo would have higher productivity.

[@patriciarambert9261]

These over privileged westerners always got something to say about work safety in the third world. You destabilized the economies in these parts and people are still tryna recover. Still tryna get up from under a hundred years behind by primitive methods. You care about safety so much? Send them safety gear. You can afford it with the amount of resources stolen from them. Or else shut up and acknowledge the real challenges of the developing world

[@marydavis7978]

[@georgekymany2719]

I'm not been rude but i hope when y'all cut down 1 tree you plant 2 trees. Otherwise it will sound like survival via deforestation.

[@angnje2052]

In Kenya you carelessly harvest trees, you go to prison. Simple

[@HavanansiData]

Even in Tanzania, forestry and timber is a controllable business. Lots of permits are involved. Some harvest planted trees. Visit Njombe, people have huge tree farms
