[@RoamOverlanding]

Sure thing! :)

[@tassosngr]

@@RoamOverlanding i agree totally with the above comment. Don't get me wrong i love the channel i ve been a subscriber from the beginning, but the video felt like it was all driving or just you standing and talking, i mean its video don't describe just do things. This is just my opinion, i mean i enjoy other KZbinrs camping videos that there is 0 talking during the whole video i don't say you should do that... But there were times that this journey way a little boring.. and i say this for you to improve don't get me wrong.

[@RoamOverlanding]

I want to too, this was my first trip in a long time and I definitely felt rusty on the filming side and planning for the filming 👍🏻

Wild camping are quite an experience especially when you are switching campsites in the dark- only the views justify your presence, make you forget and forgive the misery you had over the windy cold and sleep less nights at camp.

Does the Hilux has front lockers? I dont see any slip there. Thanks for share your trip!

Nah, no front locker, but it does have A traction control thing I think

[@dylansalt1]

The Hilux has front traction control in 4 wheel drive - it disengages when activating the rear diff lock

[@theorrockpodcast]

Enjoyed this. You did miss some amazing spots. I did notice some footage from the climb up to tiffindel. If you are still in the area don't miss Wartrail

[@krischi8324]

Nice video, thanks! May I ask what kind of Brand are Table and Chairs?

Thanks Christian, the Table is Bushtech Canopies table for their canopy, and the chairs are frontrunner expander chairs (but I am on the search for something a bit more comfortable)

Hi, what compressor are you currently using and where did you purchase it. Thanks 👊

Currently running the ARB single high output compressor and love it, it’s tiny and pumps like a beast for its size! I got it from 4x4 Megaworld 👍🏻

[@kevinmatjeke8181]

Mooi!

[@christophersaul]

This reminds me of a Saffer colleague’s comment to me when he asked me why I liked living in the UAE and I’d answered, like a typical Brit, ‘the weather and the countryside’. He raised his eyebrows and said ‘there are other places if you like that stuff’. Granted, we have some lovely places here - desert and mountains all close by - but you guys are spoilt in comparison.

[@RoamOverlanding]

We really are spoilt! Thanks for tuning in :)

[@niclabuschagne6033]

Hey! How much of these types of trails or some alike can you tackle with the Hilux 2x4? I would like to go to campsites that require some form of offroading to get there and be able to camp in the wild as well as locations with chalets. Thanks!

[@RoamOverlanding]

You could do this whole trip in 2x4 👌🏻

[@stevia13]

Apologies - sure you've been asked a million times. What are the little pop up camp chairs you are using. Thank you :-)

[@RoamOverlanding]

Hey buddy! They are the Fromtrunner Expander chairs.

[@jeep6242]

I don't know, that suspension looks pretty soft and bouncy. Hope it's adjustable. Could be wrong but I am in the middle of my own suspension dynamics saga so I am particularly sensitive over such things.

[@RoamOverlanding]

it feels great on the road; I think for a vehicle as heavily kitted as mine, the Fox 2.5's would be better than the 2.0 because of the Dual speed control, so I could make it firmer on the long travel to help control the body roll a bit. But considering the weight, she is eating up the dirt!

[@groenewaldpg]

Great video. What brand of chairs are those you pulled out at the end.

[@RoamOverlanding]

Hey George, thanks bud! They are the Frontrunner Expander chair, however I am on the hunt for something more comfy

[@groenewaldpg]

@@RoamOverlanding glad you mentioned that , was considering them. Did you have a look at the ARB/OME Compact Director’s chair.

[@RoamOverlanding]

@@groenewaldpg currently thinking of a Kaufman chair that I used the other day. So damn comfortable and handles a big guy like me with ease. Will definitely take up some more space in the bakkie, but I have too much right now anyways 😂

Great episode, shame it was so windy and Covid prevented you from completing the original trail. What are the camp chairs you used? They looked compact and comfortable?

Thanks Henry! The chairs are Frontrunner expander chairs; they are compact indeed, but not the most comfortable

What happened to that bokkie that used to cruise with you on these trips?

[@RoamOverlanding]

We went separate ways before lockdown

[@Chris.starfleet]

Dude, Adrian, dude ... please make your videos an hour long (If you think that it would increase your editing work ... no, it shouldn't). Include all the B-roll footage and bloopers and everything. For example. After settling at a camp site, start with the spiral around it showing us your whole setup for the evening and then spiral outwards around the camp site so that we can get a sense of also being there. We want to experience a sense of 3D virtual reality. Even something as mundane as walking on gravel around your camp site is ASMR!!! Like someone else said ... you are living our dreams. We can't always do it ... so you are doing it for us! Just as with Andrew St. Pierre White's videos ... I'm watching the videos twice to stretch it out a bit.

[@RoamOverlanding]

hahah Chris! I wish buddy! We will get there one day, but the work load for an hour long video is huge! Not just in the editing, but the filming of it too. I think every now and then a trip will come along where its possible, but lets see how things go in the future. I am very glad to see your enthusiasm about the films though! Thanks for the support!

I think this is more of a shakedown trip still with the restrictions and such. So I would not totally judge it yet. But yeah magic isn't there at the moment. I bailed on Primal Outdoors when he got that ridiculous Hyundai. Talk about a commercial. That whole thing was ridiculous.

[@RoamOverlanding]

Im not sure how you think these shows happen without advertising? Turn on your TV and watch how many commercials you are going to see there. If you think this episode of just advertising, and you don't appreciate the work and effort that goes into making these shows, then quite frankly, I don't might if you don't watch them. Do you not think I deserve to be compensated for my work? I do.

Roam Overlanding hi i never have been replied by the owner of any page ever. Firstly thanks for reading the comments and taking the time to communicate. Much respect for that 🙂 and coming to the point, well its like maybe i notice this part more than u want a viewer to. And that makes the rest of it less enjoyable. Idk. Or maybe the other guy is right it’s just a shakedown trip and i should wait a bit more patiently. Keep the good work coming. Cheers! P.S. yes i do appreciate the work and effort u make and i know how much it takes. I couldn’t do it after making just 1 video! So yes, i admire ur work

[@dylansalt1]

To get any type of high grade footage shown here - firstly requires quite an investment in camera gear, secondly to film the footage requires quite a few “takes” & stopping, walking etc which will add a few hours onto everyday -then that footage (if shot in log format ) has to be brought into an editing program, edited, graded, sound tracks added - it really is hours & hours of work & effort

Builds a rig for month to get the content in, lucky he has sponsors to spent all this money... .. 2 days in... Campsite with hot showers etc... Rig isn't the only thing that should be ready for thr journey. Like your videos but this doesn't really scream overlander that you can take serious.

[@RoamOverlanding]

So you’re not an Overlander if you appreciate a hot shower? 😂 most of the Overlanders I know have their own hot water geysers in their vehicles. At the end of the day I am out and traveling, and did 5000km across South Africa on this trip. I don’t need you to tell me if I’m an Overlander or not 😂
