    Well that's a great outcome. From what we can see, mostly superficial/cosmetic damage. Initially as it was lifted, it looked like also a broken/bent steering arm, but now I see that tyre off the rim, perhaps not. Looking forward to see what it needs and getting back moving itself and you around..

    Minus -50 degrees fahrenheit with windchill tomorrow afternoon. It's minus -10 fahrenheit here, now. You have to run your water, drip to a mild stream to keep it from freezing overnight. Wet Mountains, Colorado. When it gets this cold, below zero fahrenheit, I have to run a small stream not just dripping. It will still freeze even dripping.

    I have seen helicopters used in the Alps to fly in building materials and such, never to rescue a quad, but it is good to see. I hope that you can breath life back into the quad (beats walking from the village) and use it in your improvements at the house/cabin, hopefully with a little less drama.

    Great recovery, I think that they use the helicopters a lot for remote building sites as well. One of the other guy's I watch in Italy had his building supplies flown in. Expensive but I think the only thing that you could've done. I hope to see it up and running again soon. Thankfully you didn't go over with it. 🙏❤️🇿🇦

    See this is another difference between Martijn Doolard's journey and Matheus journey... Martijn doesn't speak italian so he's always been isolated not only by place but also by language. Matheus speaks great italian with nordic accent. He can befriend anyone in the area including older people.

    • @skeena59
      @skeena59 23 години тому +2

      Yes, this is true. Could never understand why you would not take the time and effort to the learn the basic language of the country you chose to live in. Martijn is obviously an intelligent person and likes to learn new things but in this regard he has resisted. Very unusual. “When in Rome, do as the Romans do”.

      ​@@skeena59as I know and heared in a few videos from Martijn he speaks a little bit Italian language. But he also said that languages are not his main strength. He understands more than he is talking.I think that's ok because he isn't such a long time over there yet. And Martijn is mostly hard working on his cabins by his own or with helpers coming from different countrys. So the main usual language is English. We will see and hear when he will speak in ltalian.
