I'm not to proud to say that I shed a tear when he said "I'll see you in America.". We're so happy to help support these videos. They have been so very entertaining and helpful. Thank you Andrew.
You have really outdone yourself with this series Andrew. Beautifully made, I greatly appreciate the way you encompass us, the audience as if we are there overlanding with you. Your passion and honest excitement for your work shine through with each episode and its so refreshing so see your enthusiasm which Is not manufactured out of massive sponsorship and endorsements which are splashed all over the usual adventure channels. Look forward to each and every video. Welcome to Australia.
Excellent videos, you two gentlemen are just that, gentlemen, and intelligent and articulate, thanks for sharing your skills, and your great stories. Never get tired of watching.
The tribute to Jan Joubert was related with passion. And a telephone out in the middle of nowhere with no shelter above it. That wouldn't work in the UK:) I think the Men of Stone are wonderful too. Yes a sensitive artist indeed. I think the fact that you don't know where they are located makes there discovery even more astounding! Sandy
Having a bit of a Groundhog Day vibe going on around day 16 and 17 I see. 4:27 then 11:15 and then 13:01. Kidding aside, absolutely brilliant, as always. Really looking forward to... well, everything you make.
Well done Andrew, great series.Best place on the planet as far as I am concerned.

I met Jan Joubert once, years ago, in Purros. I recognised his vehicle from photographs, and I'd seen his name in the guest register at the campsite. I didn't speak much with him, but he was a deeply courteous man with a deep love of his country. His death was tragic and needless. He is missed.
What an episode !!! I know Nam quite well, but learnt a lot from this episode. Your work is just getting better - no mediocraty at all. Sure you will make the Aussie outback just as interesting in the very near future.
What an amazing series!! Andrew it's over the top incredible videography as well as your's & Paul's narration. Better than television, even tho yes I know your shows are televised. Thanks so much for sharing this series with us!
dear andrew, i want to thank you, for your lovely lovely videos, all the details, and the way you present it, it's a pleasent watch. i wish you best health and the energy to creat more great videos. cheers.
Reading a little about the Lone Men statues and how lots people are questing to locate them all. I sincerely hope whomever finds them can keep the locations a secret. Take some photos, but leave the mystery. We have so few these days.
Andrew , that was One of the best series I’ve watched for some time. When finances are better I will be giving to your Patreon site. I’m giving to Ronny , and have no spare at present time.Trying to do some 4 wheeling myself. Love your work and a big thanks has to go out to Gavin at SummitX for putting me onto your posts.
That was a great series Andrew, I've watched each episode at least twice. I thought the lonely men were great pieces of "modern" art, and pleased I saw them. Whilst not the same, artists have created large works along the Oodnadatta track in South Australia which lays claim to having the worlds largest art installation, and Marree Man by person or persons unknown, is said to be the world's largest piece of art.
Thank you Andrew and Paul. What a wonderful series. Shame you boys can't make more videos together. Your on screen chemistry is intoxicating. The coffee placed down track on the previous video was sooo funny. Would you please provide the name of the green dome tent? Thanks again boys, thoroughly entertaining... Cheers from NSW Australia...
Andrew, yet another amazing film! I hope one day to go on a trip like this. Your channel deserves much more recognition than it currently has but at the same time I hope it stays small as to not create too much tourism lol. A bit of topic, but what are your opinions on the american Toyota Tacoma and the Toyota 4runner? Have you any experience with these vehicles?
The lonely men are like the ultimate Easter egg hunt. I hope nobody ever maps out their locations. I cannot imagine what it took to make those in the middle of absolutely nowhere!
Andrew, what is the range of that lovely Toyota 79 Series? Does the outfitter install a larger tank or does Toyota do a good job from the start with a good sized stock tank? I am SO glad I subscribed.
The comment about the Garmin acting strange, may have also contributed to the Drone not acquiring Satellites. Maybe the Satellites were being jammed, or Check on Sun Spot activity during your time there. Both would be a reason for your issues.
Andrew what are your thoughts on American overlanding UA-cam videos versus content created by people in other countries such as yourself? I feel US videos (I live in Kansas) are more concerned with the image of and persona projected by, the idea of overland travel. Whereas videos produced by you, Ronny, or other large international channels, seem to focus more on actually getting out there and taking a trip. Basically, local guys are caught up in what to get, and you show how and why to go.
I try for a mix of adventure, and the gear, and trying to share what I know. The audience is mixed. Some prefer the travel, others just want vehicle and gear reviews. I try for a happy mix.
What advice can you give to an experienced 4-wheeler who'd love to travel Africa but is widowed and cannot find a traveling companion. I'm 73 but haven't lost my sense of adventure and really don't mind being alone. Is solo travel at my age advisable? Everyone can chime in.
It's always best to go with at least another person when going so rural. 2 vehicles is even better. If just one vehicle you better have a satellite phone with you. Even if you are very experienced, traveling alone can go very very wrong quickly.
there is an american expression, for when a place is truly so remote, so far off the map that it is not even worth mapping or remarking because it is out of range of anything that anyone would care to name. these places are known as "Bumfuck, X", as in "Bumfuck, Arkansas", or "Bumfuck, Wyoming", or "Bumfuck, Egypt" for really really remote places, as though the location is so remote as to not even relate to maps or time or space. and at 9:41 Mr. ASPW pronounces what CAN ONLY BE that expression's place of origin. IT CANNOT BE A COINCIDENCE. at long last, we know where "Bumfuck" is, and that place is in Namibia!
There are a very few people that live there, but I imagine its a very hard life. Not much hunting any more as most of the game has disappeared. They mostly farm cattle and goats, but there is very little grazing, especially in the north.
Hi Andrew, been watching your videos for a while now on UA-cam. Question, whats your earn like on UA-cam compared with Patreon. Of course Patreon is more direct, but do you earn a reasonable amount from UA-cam ads? I do feel you offer enough value to sign up on Patreon, which I have done. But still curious.
we found a couple of these lonely stone men, I wonder where all of them are, but it would be a life long quest to find all of them without having their location at all haha :D
No. Hunting is strictly controlled, and one not only needs permits for the weapons, but permits for the area in which the hunting is taking place. For the most part, hunting in Namibia is not permitted in any area with the exception of private game reserves. And carrying weapons across borders is complex. Long may it stay that way.
Another great series Andrew... Looking forward to the next!!! You can check out a bunch of the stone men on this FB page. facebook.com/HOTH.Accommodation.Kaokoland/photos/a.142309396148512.1073741828.142199296159522/213380725708045/?type=3
First aid kit should be somewhere else, not at the back of a drawer! Glass jars to keep sugar and tea in...ok, not the paper and cardboard that it comes in?
..you should thank the people of Namibia for allowing you to enjoy their lands...your videos are great overlanding adventures with occasional menion of the indigenous people..Jan Joubert's passing was a senseless murder that is engendered by past racial grievances and ignorance...why don't you do a vid on the thousands of Namibians that were murdered and starved by the Germans when they mistakenly thought they owned those lands? This was the first significant program of racial genocide that is completely ignored.
I'm not to proud to say that I shed a tear when he said "I'll see you in America.". We're so happy to help support these videos. They have been so very entertaining and helpful. Thank you Andrew.
I'm rewatching this series, Mr White I think this one of my favorites.
I really loved the Namibia series. Wow.
Cool to hear about Jan Joubert. Thanks for that, Andrew

@@overland-workshop Yeah, It feels like I'm travelling with 😊
Excellent videos, you two gentlemen are just that, gentlemen, and intelligent and articulate, thanks for sharing your skills, and your great stories. Never get tired of watching.
I really enjoyed watching this series. It really makes me want to visit Africa one day.
ASPW... probably your best production ever! I love the story about the lone men. Very nice!
The tribute to Jan Joubert was related with passion. And a telephone out in the middle of nowhere with no shelter above it. That wouldn't work in the UK:) I think the Men of Stone are wonderful too.

Its not a telephone :-)

The opening sequence and score for this series is excellent! Fantastic editing.
Another marvellous series Mr. White!!! Looking forward to the wrap up. Thank you.
What an episode !!! I know Nam quite well, but learnt a lot from this episode. Your work is just getting better - no mediocraty at all. Sure you will make the Aussie outback just as interesting in the very near future.
I think this was a great contribution to tourism to both Botswana and Namibia I love your work keep it up
What an amazing series!! Andrew it's over the top incredible videography as well as your's & Paul's narration. Better than television, even tho yes I know your shows are televised. Thanks so much for sharing this series with us!
dear andrew, i want to thank you, for your lovely lovely videos, all the details, and the way you present it, it's a pleasent watch.
i wish you best health and the energy to creat more great videos.
cheers.
Andrew and Marsh, you have done an Amazing production, as a Long time 4WD driver in EAC.
Wha'?! That tree is alive?! Wow. Fantastic views of Namibia.
Which tree?
thank you for creating this series.
Excellent series Andrew looking foreword to the next.
Reading a little about the Lone Men statues and how lots people are questing to locate them all. I sincerely hope whomever finds them can keep the locations a secret. Take some photos, but leave the mystery. We have so few these days.

Totally agree with you on the garmin being worse than nothing. My garmin Montana is boarderline hazardous!
really enjoyed that episode a lot thanks mate

Swazi flag on the blue drum phone, inspiring
The lonely men are really neat and interesting! Great series Andrew!
I can fully understand how lonely those stone men must feel. I can relate...
think of coming to Khartoum sudan you will find great welcome and we have landcruisers and a lot of places to see
Fantastic!!!
excellent series. Can't wait to do my own drive.
That was exceptional! Thanks
Absolutely amazing.
Action is more than required
travelled through rooidrom pass two weeks ago and just as you come down the pass there is the running stone man
Great series!
awesome series Andrew! Thanks!
Thank you Andrew and Paul.
What a wonderful series.
Shame you boys can't make more videos together. Your on screen chemistry is intoxicating.
The coffee placed down track on the previous video was sooo funny.
Would you please provide the name of the green dome tent?
Thanks again boys, thoroughly entertaining...
Cheers from NSW Australia...
Looks like Tentco dome tent. Tentco is a South African company. Very popular here in South Africa.
After getting in touch with Safari Drive, I'm weighing options.
Andrew, yet another amazing film! I hope one day to go on a trip like this. Your channel deserves much more recognition than it currently has but at the same time I hope it stays small as to not create too much tourism lol. A bit of topic, but what are your opinions on the american Toyota Tacoma and the Toyota 4runner? Have you any experience with these vehicles?
Just got yourself a nambian subscriber
welcome!
Good series! Curious, those large padded bags inside the drawers, what brand are they? I apologize if I missed it during the videos... Thanks!
Amazing
great work. US will be great. What vehicle are you looking at using?
Nice series! I do not know if I missed it, but how much did this trip cost? If I would have done it for example.
I didn't know about the demise of Jan Joubert. I have his book; was my bible when I did my first overland trip in Southern Africa in 2001.
Love the series Thank you. What did the full trip cost including the vehicle hire. Regards Rae
The lonely men are like the ultimate Easter egg hunt. I hope nobody ever maps out their locations. I cannot imagine what it took to make those in the middle of absolutely nowhere!
Will the Troopy be Australia only? Any plans on taking it to Africa some day?
I would love to build a Land Cruiser in Africa also, if finances permit it. But I probably won't take this one to Africa.
See you in May. You should invite Paul to come as well.
Andrew, what is the range of that lovely Toyota 79 Series? Does the outfitter install a larger tank or does Toyota do a good job from the start with a good sized stock tank? I am SO glad I subscribed.
This truck has an OE 130L tank.

Andrew, What did you think of the 4.2NA performance? How was it's mileage thru the trip?

why no more G wagon?
I don't see propellors on the drone ....
It seems that they do go a liiiitle bit dilly, as the series progresses
nice

at long last, we know where "Bumfuck" is, and that place is in Namibia!
i looked at a map and referenced places he's mentioned, i think he's saying "Palmwag".
Is it possible to live there off the land?
There are a very few people that live there, but I imagine its a very hard life. Not much hunting any more as most of the game has disappeared. They mostly farm cattle and goats, but there is very little grazing, especially in the north.
first
Verry good video

Patreon enables me to make more videos. UA-cam pays for coffee.
we found a couple of these lonely stone men,
I wonder where all of them are, but it would be a life long quest to find all of them without having their location at all
haha :D
I'm afraid the monument for Jan is shot a few times ...
Do you carry any firearms for hunting etc?
No. Hunting is strictly controlled, and one not only needs permits for the weapons, but permits for the area in which the hunting is taking place. For the most part, hunting in Namibia is not permitted in any area with the exception of private game reserves. And carrying weapons across borders is complex. Long may it stay that way.
Anyone else noticed that rock/lion at 18:07?
Interesting. Reddrum...murdder...coincidence I think not!
superb! plz come to nz!
What happens if you’re color blind and trying to navigate?🤔
Another great series Andrew... Looking forward to the next!!! You can check out a bunch of the stone men on this FB page. facebook.com/HOTH.Accommodation.Kaokoland/photos/a.142309396148512.1073741828.142199296159522/213380725708045/?type=3
First aid kit should be somewhere else, not at the back of a drawer! Glass jars to keep sugar and tea in...ok, not the paper and cardboard that it comes in?
My experience glass jars are disaster waiting to happen. Plus they weigh too much. Weight is a big issue when packing an overland vehicle
whatever you do ..do not touch that button !!...
..you should thank the people of Namibia for allowing you to enjoy their lands...your videos are great overlanding adventures with occasional menion of the indigenous people..Jan Joubert's passing was a senseless murder that is engendered by past racial grievances and ignorance...why don't you do a vid on the thousands of Namibians that were murdered and starved by the Germans when they mistakenly thought they owned those lands? This was the first significant program of racial genocide that is completely ignored.
The world's history is full of terrible events. It is also filled with wonderful, memorable and admirable events. I would rather focus on those.
