FAQs - for those of you bright enough to read the description before commenting with the same boring questions ... :)
How old are you? - 28
Where do you live? - Surrey, UK
What hair product do you use? - VO5 Re-Work
What do you ask for at the hairdresser? - The 'Ben Brown'
What breed of dog is Alfie? - Tibetan Terrier
When did you start kayaking? - When I was 8 years old.
What size penny board do you ride? - I have both the Penny & the Nickel.
What do your tattoos mean? My star was just because I thought it looked good. My skull was my reward for winning the marathon world championships in 2010, my triangle on my hand reminds me to keep moving forward and make progress, and my turtle/Pura Vida tattoo on my leg is a reminder of my amazing time in Costa Rica :)
How do you make money? - UA-cam/Freelance film/photo & my clothing brand
Do you ship Work In Progress clothing world wide? - We ship to most countries.
What editing program do you use? - Premier Pro CC on Mac
Did you go to university? - Nope
Will you be going to the Olympics? - Hopefully if they introduce Marathon Kayaking into the Olympic program!
Can you tell me where you get your t-shirts printed? - The answer is in one of my vlogs...
What steady cam do you use? - A really cheap one from ebay.
Why aren't you training for kayaking anymore? - I see new opportunities everyday, I'm just grabbing them as they appear and keep working hard, right now that's UA-cam & Film. I'm happy I made the change!
How long do your vlogs take to edit? - They vary massively, sometimes 1 hour sometimes 6+
Still got questions? Check my 'Ask Ben' Video! - • ASK BEN!

P.s. I love my subscribers :) xx
Many things in this vlog made me happy:
1. How the South African slang is slowly creeping into the way you speak
2. Knowing I am not the only one who is obsessed with the ice-cream from Steers (their chips are amazing, too)
3. How you acknowledged the fact that you were tired and someone else needed to drive. (We have many deaths because of road accidents during the festive season in SA)
I can't wait to see the rest of the road trip! Be safe
:)
Dan and SP on the road trip is all sorts of good. They've got good vibes.
'Dan's still having a bit of a party' *points camera at tent* lmao
That Land Rover is just an absolute tank. It's just pure awesomeness.
Dan has a natural drunk high personality, I love him so much
You know it's a road trip vlog when the intro is him pouring coups of coffee from his travel kettle, exciting times ahead! I really need to stop commenting before the vlog finishes, or in this case 27 seconds in =l. peace xx
Thumbs up for Ben getting the windscreen washed at the petrol station! Now we have a nice clean view for the vlogs.
New outro / Yesterdays Vlog screen is radical... its the small things Ben, Cheers
I drove down Garden Route from Durban to Capetown beginning of this year!
I wish you guys all the fun in the world! Have an awesome time and enjoy the view and scenery, its just too dang amazing!!
Dan is my spirit animal.. I miss those wimpy stops on the long drives to the SA coast. Hope you all enjoying it. Maybe run into you all on my travels home in late Jan/Feb? xx
Living on the road is the best feeling.. Stoked for you guys! i've got a 1000km drive to look forward to on our road trip tomorrow..
Dan and SP are brilliant haha! These vlogs are going to be awesome with just you guys :)
Dan is such a lad! Soooo chilled
The lifestyle you live is so inspiring and amazing ♥︎
Amazing work Ben :) I love watching your vlogs! Its snowing where I am!!!
FUCKING LOVE THE ROADTRIP VLOGSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Love the quality of you Vlogs Ben
Gavin's accent is so cool!!
Dan is so funny haha I love his personality :) All of you guys seem so chilled and lovely people :)
Yea he is
chill is the way to live haha!
That ice cream shot was film making at its best.
Pumba looks amazing
Ben, you seem so happy when you are in Africa with your friends and Nicole! Have a great trip :)
When I stayed in ZA I've met two guys that were going to open a hostel in Mozambique & they were talking like it was 'paradise' there, so I am really curious about the next vlogs!
Lovin this. Pure inspiration to travel more. Maybe South Africa next?!
I hear that Milky Chance in the background! Going to their concert on my birthday...cant wait
What an epic road trip, love the vlogs, can't wait to finally start my round the world trip next month where I'll be travelling across SE Asia, Australia, NZ, USA and Canada. :D
What's the speed limit there, 1000 km in a day, crazy slow. I've done NYC to South Florida, in a suburban, 1200+ miles in less than 24 hours; chill for a day and turn around and head back. So in total, I drove almost 4000 km in two days of driving; all by myself, burning rubber!
Dan is my spirit animal
You definitely need to do a playlist of the songs in each vlog Ben! everytime the comments are full of "what's the name of the song at..."
Speaking of.... what is the black milk song, anyone know?
@@Tottenham9598 It's Detroit's New Dance Show
ROADTRIP BABY

Have a safe trip Ben!!
Road trips are always awesome. Subscribed.
Watching old vlogs and crikey, SP looks so so young with such a small beard. I forgot what he looks like without a massive beard.
You should make a road trip playlist !!

Loves to everybody!!!
Live the adventure I wish I could travel the world and see the amazing things you have safe journeys

Ben, 2 things 1 - Stoked you are coming to Durbs. 2 - Bambolea is only meant to be played on Wednesday...Scott Mills' (rules not mine)...
WoW never knew ben had a SpitFire tatt :o ! awesome
Since when did you get a new tattoo it looks cool and btw I am loving these road trip vlogs!! x
If you're talking about the red spitfire it isn't new ! It's like his first tattoo. But he doesn't like it and regrets it ;).
Love the spitfire tattoo Ben! how long you had that? never seen it.
I was just going to ask it, ı hove loved that too :) Yeah man when ?
He said he got it when he was young (like 18 or sth) and doesn't like it anymore. ☺️
ah fair enough, pretty cool though.
We have Steers in Kenya too, Yeeeey :)
Question: Are all service stations in S Africa full service or there are pumps that are full and others self? Is there a price difference btw the two? I haven't seen a full-service station in years here in the US. Safe travels!
Hey, they are all full-service. Or at least 99% percent are. Personally I've never seen a self-service one.
JayHfails Yea I havent seen any self-service either!
Steers is the bessssttttt!!! OMG the chicken burgers tho!
chicken burgers are my liiiifffee haha!

Eyh! What happened with Louis joining the road trip?
He'll be joining us at some stage!
Okay good, have a flipping awesome roadtrip! While I study for my math test tomorrow -.-
Just came from SP's instagram about Ben's 1000th vlog, apparently this is the first vlog SP appears in.
Nope, he's in the vlogs from early on. I think he mentioned in the instagram post that it was from this vlog that he was working with Ben.
+Felicia Cloete Yeah I thought I'd seen him in one before this a long time ago but must not have looked at the vlog number(s) back then, anyway my bad.

Passion Pit at 3:29
I noticed SP has his own camera, do you know what camera it is?? Also can you recommend a good DSLR for beginners?

You gotta check your oil bro... I know it's diesel but not suppose to be that loud!!
i doubt oil is going to help that engine anymore :D
what would Jagger do when confronted by the abyss
this might be a stupid question for some of you but i really don't know so .. can you use the tent while the car is moving?
Haha love that, but no you couldn't, you could try but probably dangerous :)
