The story The cinematography The vibes The music This is so awesome dude. I'm sitting here in awe at the beauty you're able to convey. This should be a Netflix doc
Wow, thank you! I'm really glad the film resonated with you on so many levels. The idea of it being a Netflix doc is wild-maybe one day! Thanks for the awesome support!
This is THE best video of overlanding in Namibia. I have watched soooo many. @Damian congrats bro, very inspiring and captivating. I am going to Namibia in December and will be visiting some of these locations. Make more of these videos pleeeease!
WOW!!! thankyou for sharing your magical journey and talent as a story tell and film maker with us all , there is something special about simple travel that is so grounding.
Namibia is amazing I’ve done the same tour 5 times ( with new Toyota) Your adventure is a dream of mine. I lead a group of friends with vintage jeeps monthly… this is a dream!
Huge fan of the history you pulled out of the story... amazing cinematography but all the editing in the world can't fake a real adventure... and that was an adventure.... well done!
Just an amazing video, your crew is awesome, thank you 🙏 so much for sharing. Be safe and keep making deep memories that connect with people you'll never meet.
What an awesome movie from the story line to the music and the incredible cinematography and don’t forget the real stars of the show the 4 jeep’s Well done you dit a better job than some of these so called UA-camrs that do traveling videos. Don’t stop please keep doing more.
Dang! I just sold my '48 Willys a couple of weeks ago. You are our kind of mad, bad, and dangerous to know fellow adventurers! I am part of a loose group of international like minded open truck expedition enthusiasts based out of the UK called Popski's Private Expeditions (no fees, no dues, no forms, just mates). We do deep desert WW2 research expeditions in the Sahara in the style and spirit of the Long Range Desert Group and Popski's Private Army. Our steeds of choice are a motley bunch of vintage-ish (compared to yours) Land Rover Series, Lightweights, and Defender trucks. Namibia is one of my favourite places and have enjoyed the vastness of Damaraland from the back of an open safari truck. It also one of the places our group is looking at exploring sometime in the future. I will forward this to them to show the stunning beauty and vastness of Namibia that is impossible to explain unless you've seen it. Most of us are former or retired military, or keen amateur military historians, our group would find much to discover there. I did not know about the two renegade geologists and am keen to research their experiences. If you would like to see what we get up to in the desert, I'll link to our video about searching for the Lost Patrol. Your video is beautifully shot and edited. My highest compliments to you, sir! Kind regards from the damp summer here in England! ua-cam.com/video/cOukXyuvzgc/v-deo.html
Thank you for the kind words! I’m really pleased the video captured Namibia’s beauty for you. I’m familiar with the Long Range Desert Group and the SAS Ghost Patrol, and it would be great to connect and exchange stories. I’d also love to check out your video about the Lost Patrol. Thanks for sharing!
@@damianpeyrot I hope you enjoy the video. It was created by one of our crew, Marty, who is Travelbag Photography. I'll drop you an email and we can swap details. My wife and I will be shipping our long nosed LR roadster to Capetown in '26 for a year long adventure through southern Africa. Give my regards to Houston! I moved to the UK from The Heights many years ago ;-)
@@ailo4x4 I just finished watching your documentary, and that was epic! Marty did a fantastic job putting such an elaborate story together. I loved everyone’s background, and how there was a set mission at the end of your aim, where our journey was more about just covering distance and connecting with the land. You’re more than welcome to shoot an email over to damian@storythreadstudios.co where we can chat further, and perhaps hop on a Zoom call sometime. Looking forward to connecting!
@@damianpeyrot I used the contact form on your website. Hopefully you will get my email address from it. My gmail just doesn't recognize your email address for some reason :-0
WOW!! This was Amazing. Everything is well done, the cinematography, music. Editing. Well done and in older jeeps makes it even better 😊. Namibia has been a bucket list trip. This just moved it up the list.
Thank you for this amazing film! My two greatest passions other than performing acoustic music are vintage 4x4's and 6x6's and wild Africa. My first unsupervised driving experience was in a cj2A 1948 at St. Lucia Estuary at the tender age of 11. I've wanted one ever since. I've never been to Namibia or Botswan and my dream is to drive the Tropic of Capricorn in a Jeep from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean.
Thanks for the kind word Craig! That sounds like an epic adventure doing coast to coast in Southern Africa. I’m looking forward to following that adventure once it comes to fruition!
Wow and amazing overlanding video. Namibia my home country and done all the routes you did and know many more. Have a CJ2A and live in the same neighbourhood than Dave. Please let me know when you go again.
Damian, I just watched your overlanding trip through Namibia, and I have to say, it was truly captivating! The way you and your friends embarked on this adventure in those original Willys Jeeps, embracing the simplicity of it all, was so refreshing. Your storytelling, the way you captured the challenges and joys of the journey, and the perfect music choices kept me glued to the screen from start to finish. It felt like I was right there with you, experiencing the unique beauty and spirit of overlanding in its purest form. Thank you for sharing this incredible journey with us-it's truly inspiring! We’re about to head out on a trip through the Namaqua 4x4 Eco Trail and part of the Richtersveld, and your video has made us exponentially more excited about what lies ahead!
@@oadventuresinafrica Thank you so much for your thoughtful words! Making an impact on like-minded people is exactly why we make these films, and it truly fulfills me knowing you’ve connected so much with our journey. Feel free to reach out at damian@storythreadstudios.co and share some of your stories from the Richtersveld. Wishing you an amazing adventure ahead!
amazing movie. Mind blowing cinematics, music, shots , everything. It would be shame to call it just a youtube video. Its a movie meant to be enjoyed in big theatre:)
Amazing cinematography. Congratz and will share it with our fellow jeepers, sadly ours are not vintage, but never know if one stumbles on another Jeep.
Wow Damian! You crushed the video and story. Absolutely amazing. Well done. You're video has given me a desire to go and experience Namibia like you have.
Really well done Damian, loved that! A great adventure. I am part of the Popski's Private Expeditions group Cole mentioned previously...he gave your film a two thumbs up and suggested we all have a watch. I will share your film on our channel as well, since anyone who already likes what we do is going to love what you guys got up to. The PPE has at least one more Tunisia expedition to do to finish our WW2 history search, but then we have been looking abroad for future adventures...Namibia now looks like a real contender! So, well done to the crews and hope to see more Jeeping adventures!
It means so much to have the support from like-minded overlanders like you guys. Thank you for sharing this film. I watched Marty’s film about your journey through Tunisia searching for the Lost Patrol-what a fantastic story! I loved the mission and seeing those old Landys trundling through the desert. I’m sure you guys will love Namibia; there’s so much to explore here, from the landscapes to the old history of South West Africa. I’m looking forward to following your journey!
As a fellow Jeep owner and a videographer, this was insanely well put together. Crazy good sfx/audio I can only dream of. The intro shots gave me Battlefield 1 vibes 😂 Subscribed!
This is an incredibly well documented journey that you guys went on. Well done Damian!! I thoroughly enjoyed this. You had me engrossed from start to end!!!
Henno & Hermann hideout - Henno Martin wrote the book "Wenn es Krieg gibt, gehen wir in die Wüste" in German (Englisch issue? - if there will be a war we'llgo into the desert). Henno Martin died on Jan. 7th 1998 in Göttingen where he lived since 1965.
UPDATE OCTOBER 2024: At timestamps 06:57 and 08:16, the soundtrack Burning Bridges by Mike Curb Congregation has been removed by UA-cam as a result of a copyright dispute. This is very unfortunate as the song added so much character to this portion of our adventure. Hopefully everyone is still able to enjoy the story despite this hiccup.
There is nowhere you need to be that you cant reach with a stock old jeep. My jeep is from 1989 and might even have less features, you simple sacrifice comfort. (love burning bridges)
Great story! It's a pity about the copyright dispute. My only question is, what's with the aspect ratio? Otherwise, again, great story, beautiful shots! Keep on keeping on!!
@@UnAverageSteve Thanks for the comment! I shot this on a Sony A7siii with a 24-70mm f/2.8 GM lens. The drone footage was on a Mavic Air 2S. Everything was shot in a flat picture profile so I had more range colour grading in post. Let me know if you have anymore questions!
Im building out my 1949 Willys truck to go on adventures too. You guys have Carburetor issues? Im leaning on Holley EFI swap yet i see like you are so remote & a electrical error cant be fixed.
One of, if not the best travel video I have seen on UA-cam. Fantastic material: amazing videography, talented story telling and overall satisfying entertainment. Keep it alive!
@@JourneyShifter I don’t take that lightly! Thanks for watching this film, I like to think this is a product of raw uncut passion from the team. Hope you stick around for the next one!
Wow! Not only was that a really cool journey, but it was incredibly well shot and edited.
Thanks for the comment! That means a whole lot coming from your channel.
