Traditional living & the start of something BIG (Ep91 GrizzlyNbear Overland)

[@simmirawat841]

Tc guys.. you are doing great and happy life see you soon 👍😘

[@ticos08]

Good people in every part of the world ready to give you a little of what they have , ready to help you in whatever they can , thank God for that .

[@oftaps]

yous didn't like the milk aii😆

[@atamanatlas3098]

Love you guys, you are so humble and gracious, down to earth, no hint of even the smallest amount of “boganism” You guys are great Ambassadors for France and Australia respectively. So so different then the bogans that go to Bali and Bangkok. All Australian tourists should watch your vids and make you guys their role models. So much respect for various cultures and not even the slightest hint of criticism. If the world was full of people like you guys we could actually have world peace. I salute you.

[@leighdearle5965]

Wow thank you so much for the kind words it means a lot to us 😊 Although I thought that maybe because I was wearing Crocs and socks in that video that maybe I could be considered slightly bogan 😜

[@atamanatlas3098]

@@leighdearle5965 LOL No Leigh that's acceptable LOL It's the ugg boots and stubbies shorts combo that would be bogan LOL And no need to thank me it's truly my pleasure.

[@ArmenianLifewithMitch]

@Ataman Atlas. Nice sentiments...I wholeheartedly concur! Mitch

[@ArmenianLifewithMitch]

@@leighdearle5965 You guys are genuine...and that's what comes through so beautifully in your videos. You will look back on this adventure in years to come with a true sense of accomplishment and pride...plus you will become 'richer' from the encounters you've had with fellow brothers and sisters from different walks of life. What a humbling experience! Mitch

[@salmothymus]

exactly (re. Ataman Atlas) I stumbled on GrizzlyNbear channel 2-3 videos preceding this one (the accident and repair)...and just couldn't help but kept watching one after another....this one though really moved me....and yes, good gets good as a return....I'm subscribing !

[@edwardparlakyan6921]

Being surrounded by many gadgets, without which we cannot imagine our life today, we forget what nature is and how amazing it is. Nature gives man everything that he needs, but man is constantly moving away from it. Dear Lee and Steph me, my family and my friends wish you a good journey and many great people. P.S. great video, amazing places

[@leighdearle5965]

Very wise words my friend 😉 Thank you so much for the kind words. We think about you all often. Best wishes to your family 😘

[@edwardparlakyan6921]

Thank you my friends, you too!

[@The_Wandering_Woodster]

don't know what else to say......That was just wonderful

[@edbraconnier2105]

Again another great adventure.... You Tubes true Overlanders!!! Not Fauxverlanders :)

[@leighdearle5965]

Merci Ed we really appreciate it 😊

[@ArmenianLifewithMitch]

Brilliant!...maybe the best episode to date, but then I'll probably say that about your next one also:-D Your photography and editing as first class, but the way you immerse yourselves in village life is the best part. Reminds me of village life in Armenia...where the people are so friendly and kind. I'm pretty sure our Uaz Hunter would be right at home in Tajikistan also! All the best to you both...always stay safe and continue to love each other unconditionally. Regards from Mitch

[@leighdearle5965]

The Uaz would definitely fit right in. They are everywhere out there, mostly the Van version. The Bukhana I think is the model... Awesome vehicles or as our friend Nicolai calls them Super Jeeps 😉 Thank you for the kind words. Just wait for next week's special video, we are certain you're going to have a new favourite 😊

[@csiki2504]

[@willian.direction6740]

Thanks for the great video

[@holgermuller2987]

Ah... chicken out on the horse milk.... You should have taken a bottle (1.5ltr. Coca-Cola) with you, makes you strong !! No problem, go mate go....

[@DEVINdevdev]

Those self baked breads look so damn delicious, every-time-i-see-them

[@Celica465]

Hi, love you travel videos so much,,keep it up,,and wish you the very best ,,take care,, Cheers from Oman🇴🇲✌️

[@tnamalik]

Hi, my name is Tahir, I'm from Portugal, and I'm following you. You are a very adventurous couple. The places you visit are spectacular. But I have a criticism to make. I am a 4x4 lover, and from what I see your jeep is almost always broken. Land Rover is no good. You should Think having a Nissan Patrol or a Toyota Land Cruiser. That is a jeep of great strength and durability. All the 4x4 races I go, the first jeeps to break down are Land Rover. But good luck, and have fun.

[@STYLEHUAHINONAIR]

very nice.

[@CG-99]

You should clarify for people that the Pamir Highway is not a motorway in any sense of the word!! I only know that because I have been there, most others would envisage a 3 lane highway with nice asphalt.

[@leighdearle5965]

People will find out of they keep watching the videos 😉 The Pamir itself is just a rough road partly bitumen, perfectly able to be travelled by any vehicle. We passed low clearance European camper vans and tiny 2wd sedans. The Bartang Valley road and Wakhan Valley road are a different story...

[@mrsbadblake]

There is not Kurdish country they are not Kurdish. They are Kırgız,tacik and others.

[@canadianoverlanders5039]

Awesome adventure guys! So today we ordered our own 4Wheel Camper "Swift" model for our Toyota Tacoma, we should have it by April next year. We wish we were tagging along!

[@leighdearle5965]

Great news 😊 Maybe we'll cross paths when we reach North American shores next year...

[@ArmenianLifewithMitch]

Happy trails from Armenia! Regards, Mitch

[@michaelcaton9358]

That road between Kyrghistan and Tadjikistan was probably the worst road of our trip. Its proper freaky with bridges out and water crossings adn the road just falling down at the sides. We had also had a couple of guys looking for bribes too, luckily only one of them was an offical. He got a bottle of something for his efforts and to leave us alone and not turn out all our kit. He was happy.

[@eisbar7354]

Hey Leigh, how did you pull up the next day after drinking the fermented horse chacha? Again thank you for sharing your epic journey.

[@leighdearle5965]

I only had a few cups and pulled up ok although it hits the belly fast and hard. Within a few minutes you can hear the stomach voicing complaint 😜

[@eisbar7354]

@@leighdearle5965 "a few cups" sheesh! I could hear your stomach complaining via youtube mate. hehe. Ease up on the Defender complaints!

[@karlyash]

I binge-watched all your videos. You never gave up no matter what. Absolutely toughest people I have seen. Your adventures are inspiring. I hope you fulfill your goals and we all get to see the world through your eyes. All the best and take care.

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

Thank you so much for your comment. 😍 We hope to keep inspiring for many more years.

[@Simonandisla]

Just breath taking and stunning country. Felt very humbled just watching so you guys must have been very emotional. Keep em coming and keep safe guys 👍👍😍

[@olethongsoom]

The young boy know when he see a pretty lady lol.

[@leighdearle5965]

He certainly does 😉 It's a tough question deciding on a favourite country... They are all so very different. If we do have to choose we usually agree on Turkey so far. Incredible rock climbing, friendly people, beautiful scenery with beaches to mountains, ancient history and architecture plus great food. It has it all 😊

[@olethongsoom]

@@leighdearle5965 I hear lots of good things about turkey...

[@mataperjalanan]

Superb journey.... Greeting from Indonesia

[@chaichalermkorariyawong9207]

Love you GrizzlyNbear .............

[@steinar.offroad]

If this isnt lifegoals then I dont know anymore! the 800D looks amazing! what kind of glass do you have on there? PS: If you fly the drones in really bright environments (without ND filters on the lens) you should boost the saturation a bit more because you will lose some of the saturation when the sensor sensitivity drops below optimal (which is usefull cause otherwise your image would just be overexposed!).

[@leighdearle5965]

Thanks heaps for the drone tips. I'm ok at flying the thing but definitely still a novice when it comes to any of the settings outside of auto mode 😜 I'll have to ask Steph about the Canon lens that's her department 😉

[@coopermk6mini344]

merci les amis, toujours super, bravo, bisous à vous deux...

Hello from Nebraska USA. Safe travels and have a blessed day.

[@chrisrea7347]

Great video and what memorable travels you are having. The people with the least seem to share all strangers. I also experienced this type of generosity in rural Bulgaria. Stay safe.

[@elrey8876]

Do you reckon that family in the yurt is spending half the year there and the rest back in some town, or do you think they'll live out their lives there at the end of that road?

[@leighdearle5965]

They are nomadic and will only live in that valley for half the year. The animals will be herded to a village at much lower altitude for the winter.

[@GustavoAmaral74]

howww!!!! That's a fantastic experience! I bet you will never forget this day… Congrats!!!

I think it would be a good idea to put location name on the title. "Traditional living & the start of something BIG" doesn't really make sense and most people skip to watch the video. If you put the country name, I m pretty sure it would make a big difference.
