LOST in CONGO and Trading a CROCODILE for a Bed

  • Sometimes adventures don’t go as planned… After being labeled as spies in the heart of the Democratic Republic of Congo, we fled on motorbikes to the border of the province. Along the way, we ran out of food, and had to buy what we could find from the locals. This is Pygmy Tribe territory, and many eat bush meat.
    We bought a crocodile before flooding our motorbikes a few kilometers later. The sun was setting, we were stuck, so we went the the nearest village with an offer… our crocodile for a night stay in their village. They accepted. I learned this tribe knew how to party. We chopped up the croc, showed each other some dance moves, and slept in straw huts over the Congo River. I can’t make this sh*t up.
    You can’t pay for travel moments like this. They land on your lap, and you make a choice… Let the experience lead you, trust that the world is kind, and open yourself up to the world. Or close yourself off, pity yourself, and curse your bad luck. It’s always your choice. 🐉

      Damn, that's exactly what I scrolled down to say. Everybody's gotta eat and you have to eat what's available. Like with the Pangolin - a person's motivation makes all the difference. Slaughtering them wholesale to basically make "snake oil" versus killing one to eat and survive another day.

    Hi man, I'm from the Congo(DRC). Great video. The main reason why you have been labeled as spies is because Obed is from the east of DRC where there is rebels who are mining illegally, killing people in the village in order to disperse them and forcing them to leave the villages, jungle due to fear. The other reason is also that in the DRC we are too protective about the pygmies as they are a minority, they never want to live in the urban city. They are very protective over their culture. They have good and deep knowledge of the jungle and wild life. They know which animals are in danger of extinction, they didn't want to speak to you as they saw you with the crocodile, they had to call the head of their small village to see, so he can be aware.

    6:23 the silent rushing wind and the encounter with the inquisitive butterfly brought a flashback of being on a bike climbing up the forested mountain in Ko Samui, Thailand on the way to a meditation center. It brought back that feeling of rushing green and fresh air blowing in my face and the vastness of the world. The complete and utter engagement with nature and a deep bliss. In another vid you said "Life is a participation sport, not a spectator sport", I needed to hear that, and it hid hard. Thank you Mike. 💕

      *What is the Gospel?*
      The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
      Ephesians 2:8-9
      For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
      Romans 10:9
      9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
      JESUS CHRIST can come anytime!
      REPENT OF YOUR SINS Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS

      It's because in western society, the consensus is if you're not famous, successful, extraordinary, wealthy, ect. then you're just inadequate by default, which plays a huge part in why so many people have depression here in America, even though the vast majority of us live in extreme comfort in comparison to poor people in 3rd world countries. They don't have much room to be sad about trivial things like we do because they're simply too focused on trying to survive like you said. And real survival too. They appreciate the smaller things in life like community and having a meal at night, things that many of us overlook and underappreciate on a daily basis. We directly and indirectly live to "keep up with the Jones's" so to speak. They're just living life.

    Watching from Kenya. I really appreciate your work. My heart however bleeds, wondering what happened to the DRC. A massive country, so much blessed with natural resources. So much potential, it could be the food basket of Africa, the economic vein of Africa, the breath and the sunshine that Africa desperately needs. And yet today, we see funded militias fighting deep from the jungles, we see France and other imperialists establishing mining companies in that country that has a few tarmac roads. Who will really save DRC? The mighty Congo River alone can produce hydroelectric power enough to light up the whole of Africa.

      *What is the Gospel?*
      The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
      Ephesians 2:8-9
      For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
      Romans 10:9
      9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
      JESUS CHRIST can come anytime!
      REPENT OF YOUR SINS Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS

This guy has a waaaaaaay different set of opportunities and lives a life where he gets to point to where he wants to go , or choose what he wants to do . Iv lived in African countries volunteering and I must say that the image of a romanticized Africa becomes different when you realize that they don’t get to choose whether or not living like them is an “adventure “ vs a way of life . Most people watching this don’t realize that many can’t choose to jump teams whenever they feel they want to . I like this guys content it’s great , just thought I would mention this .
