WINTER CAMPING in Africa

[@GetOutGO]

Something a little different... Let me know if you want to see more videos like this!

[@renierdutoit1]

Loved the video👍👍👍 I would love to see some more!

[@GetOutGO]

@@renierdutoit1 Thanks Renier!

[@clivegreenall309]

Always enjoy your videos and would love to see more like this. Thank You.

[@GetOutGO]

@Clive Greenall 💯 thanks!

[@joseph4481]

Fantastic video, I have watched most of your videos and I like this "story" orientated video.

[@braamsnyman]

The cinematography is fantastic! I won't call it videography because that would be an understatement.

[@GetOutGO]

Thank you, much appreciated!

[@kikzazz]

Winter is actually the best time of the year to go camping. Love it!

[@GetOutGO]

I love camping anytime 😀

[@CasperLabuschagne]

On the highveld, the winter days are excellent though the nights can be an ordeal once the temperature drops to below zero. Take a set of thick woolen hicking socks and woolen gloves and wear them if you are cold in your sleeping bag. Sitting close to a blazing fire on an icy night in winter while wrapped in a warm blanket is an experience on it's own - Old Brown sherry is never as appreciated as on times like this. We used to have a set of washable blankets solely for use when going on numerous hunting trips during winter. The actual hunting would take place at first light and by the time the sun rises the carcasses are hanging and there is a humongous quantity of fresh liver and onion frying in a skottel for breakfast.

Just hearing the animals in the background lifts me from the Scottish Highlands to the grasslands in Tembe national park. From Red and Sika deer, Otters, badgers and pine martins here in the Highlands, to the incredible wealth of species in a Southern Africa habitat, I am privileged enough in my role as a conservation adviser to have experienced both. Your videos just remind me of the sheer joy of waking up in the bush and hearing it’s diversity, even before you see it. Magical experiences, and if you ever find yourselves here - well, I’m sure I can find a few spots for you that will breath just a little of our Scottish fairy dust on your trip.

[@GetOutGO]

Glad you're enjoying the vids! Will definitely give you a shout if I'm ever in the Highlands! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@ChrisPitt123]

very cool Chris, you visuals of the ellie at the end coupled with the music is masterful. Man its difficult to sit at my desk and work!

[@GetOutGO]

Thanks Chris!

[@BlaiseSamoy]

Too cold, too hot, too windy, too wet, too dry, too late,... some people will always find an excuse to stay on the couch. Great video, Christoff. I love it. Yes, more videos like this would be nice.

[@GetOutGO]

Thanks Blaise, much appreciated!

[@greatsouthernoverland]

Oh Christof that was great fella! Thank you:D I still have not got my UEV 440/Companion people are asking ridiculous money for them at the moment here in Aust, but it will happen. For me it was amazing to see your camper in action, they are brilliant. Lets see more like this if you enjoy making this format. Cheers Chris

[@GetOutGO]

Thanks Vik! They’re awesome campers, fingers crossed!

[@greatsouthernoverland]

@@GetOutGO Thank you mate

[@sarelalberts8890]

Thanks for sharing Christof. Nice to see that you and Mamma are both enjoying it .I differ a bit about the words "Time to pack up and go back to civilization ". Is it really civilization ?

[@GetOutGO]

Thanks Sarel! Yup, civilization hasn’t been civil for a very long time…

[@braamsnyman]

I'm with you on this point Sarel :-)

[@elizabethmunroe3676]

I'm really late to this video, but it was good to see you and your wife enjoying a different time of year, and a more relaxing pace. I love to see the wildlife -- giraffe are a favorite of mine -- and prep for some different meals. Winter is coming here in northern Alberta, but it is entirely different from yours.

[@markmcculloch2570]

Nicely made. Sound level good. People can't normally get that right. Really enjoyed. Fellow camper. S.A

[@GetOutGO]

Thank you!

[@michaelgarlickmovies]

On a day when the world seems on the brink of catastrophe - it is good to see one of your videos again. They take humanity back to its earliest foundations, under the stars in Africa where we all came from regardless of what shade our skin may be these days. An African guide in northern Kruger said to me (and I am white of northern European descent) "You are African, we are all African". He was right of course.

[@GetOutGO]

Thanks Michael, glad you enjoyed it! I think we’re so unhappy because we are fundamentally disconnected from Nature and each other. We need to be out there and learn each other’s stories. Also proud to be African!

[@stuartmather-pike7618]

So simple and basic, just downright beautiful, I am packing now!

[@GetOutGO]

Thanks Stuart!

[@dereshpillay930]

Thanks Charline!

Thanks!

[@schalkcompaan1273]

Hi Christoff. I was following you channel and was quite surprised when I saw the Caravan camping. Everybody always have their own choice and for their own reasons but your choice of Caravan and the reasons would be interesting for choosing that specific brand/type. My wife and I do a lot of travelling and use our Caravan (different brand)in places where few would agree or attempt to go. I don't comment on over landers and their approach to adventure yet some of the are very outspoken on people that can't go on rooftop tents etc. But I still enjoy their adventurous and minimalistic approach and pack the minimum. Except for sleeping in the Land Cruiser we can live out of it.

[@ZIPTRAVELS]

It’s so relaxing watching this video. Great content

[@GetOutGO]

Thank you!

[@rezajoseph3339]

really enjoyed this one Chris - wife and I now seriously needing to get away - nothing like a great fire and some hot chocolate .

[@GetOutGO]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@fdumisa]

Chris, this was absolutely beautiful, loved it! I feel like squeezing in one weekend before this winter is over!

[@GetOutGO]

Thanks Felihle!

[@alanjones511]

Nice one Chris !👍👌 No predators at all in that area to worry about when hiking ? Sausage looked great 😊 👍

[@GetOutGO]

Thanks Alan! Only the occasional leopard, but I’ve never seen one here. Thanks 😊

[@mphomolefe3340]

lol... the presentation of that pap and vors... lol great video..... :)

[@robertharold2503]

Great video..one of the best. While the campsite reviews are interesting I find these more in depth camping trip videos entertaining and informative(since I’m not in SA). Good job 👍🏻

[@GetOutGO]

Thanks Robert!

[@cobusrautenbach8804]

We just love our winter camps. Just did one at Dullstroom then the end of July we hitting Lyndenburg area. Looking forward to see how others prepare and pack for winter camps.

[@MayurPatelZA]

Can you recommend a good camp site in the dullies area?

[@deonpretorius8893]

Good video. Thanks!

[@michaelhaley6512]

Thanks Chris! Great video! Enjoyed the quieter, peaceful flavor it had to it. We here in Botswana are praying for all of our overlanding friends in SA as you guys deal with the riots and such. Stay well!!

Thanks Michael, much appreciated!

Thanks Paul, great meeting you as well!

[@CasperLabuschagne]

The pap & wors needs spinach as a side dish. Try putting a little oil in a pot, add the wors once it is heated up and cover the pot. Turn the wors over a few times but don't add water since it will toughen the skin of the wors. Remove the boerewors when done and add in chopped onion and a heaped spoon of mild curry powder to fry a few minutes in the fat from the wors. Now add a chopped tomato and again fry for a few minutes. A freshly chopped chilie added with the chopped tomato is optional but highly recommended. Add enough chopped spinach to just about fill the pot and about a cup of water (adjust water as required) plus a crushed chicken stock cube for flavour and put the lid back on. Chop the boerewors into bite sized chunks. The spinach only needs five to ten minutes to reduce after the water has boiled when the mixture can be stirred and a few heaped spoons of brown onion soup powder added to thicken the mixture together with the chopped boerewors along with the contents of a tin of baked beans. Keep the pot covered. After boiling for a few minutes, the best ever gravy to be served on pap is ready. This sounds complicated but takes twenty minutes and requires only one pot in addition to the pot for the pap. Add salt to taste though salt should not be required due to the chicken stock cube. The only way this can go wrong is by over-cooking it or by adding water right at the start.

[@GetOutGO]

Wow, thanks Casper, will definitely try it!

Lekker video thanks! - this has inspired us to try a camp trip in August in the Waterberg area

Hi Chris. Loved it as always. Looks like Matamba but the off the grid site was a bit different. Where was it? Sorry if I missed it. PS. We love winter camping but my wife prefer it if she can switch on the electric blanket to heat the bed. Which is why I have an inverter. Keep them coming. Groete. Hannes

[@GetOutGO]

Thanks Hannes! Yes it’s their overflow site, they were fully booked. Heated blanket is great in those minus temps 🙂

Thanks Chris. Can I assume that there's no predators here and also will my ground tent be suited for these wild camps

[@GetOutGO]

No predators at Matamba so no worries!

[@OriYentl333]

Hi, thank you for the great content - just curious in winter is it also too cold to use the iKamper? Looking to purchase a RTT for my SUZUKI Jimny but deciding between that and the Front Runner you had previously. Leaning to the Front Runner due to weight but know you mentioned upgrading to the iKamper is a consideration because the Front Runner does not have much insulation, right?

[@GetOutGO]

The Ikamper’s insulation is great 👍 If you’re in the Northern hemisphere you can also get the inner for even more insulation

[@cobusrautenbach8804]

Great video Chris. What solar panels do you use? Looking forward to your next one.

[@GetOutGO]

Thanks Cobus! They’re Flexopower Mojave’s flexopower.co.za

[@cobusrautenbach8804]

Thanks Chris. I also have the same. Do you experience any cracking. My 150watt panel is forming cracks where the support leg is attach.

[@GetOutGO]

I would speak to the guys at Flexopower hey, let them have a look at it

If you don’t monetize your videos (place ads in them), KZbin does it for you and then you have no control over how many there are and where in the video they go. I have the minimum ads (pre and post, no-mid roll).
