ROAMS01E33 Escaping A Kalahari Dust Storm While Offroad In My Jimny (2019)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- In this, the third episode of the Botswana series, I continue my solo journey into the the Central Kalahari; where I share intimate game viewing experiences and bake my own bread. But the next days plans get cut short as I need to turn tails and run away from a massive impending dust storm!
With no guaranteed place to sleep, I hold thumbs that everything works out.

Came here for the suziki, stayed for the cinematography. Great video
Thats so awesome 👌🏻
Suzuki created a off-roading legend I love jimny
With 1.5L engine?
@@RRD97 lol
copy of jeep😂😁😂
@@RRD97 In the markets it's sold people don't want anything bigger, nor more complicated. That said, the car is overpriced by about 20% for what it is.
@@RRD97 amazing right? A 1.5L engine can off-road
You’ve got some faith in that little jimmy. Awesome car. You’re the reason I’m buying one thanks.
It is sponsored 😆
@@RRD97 u sure about that?
@@visibleconfusion9513 No, I just feel so.
He sold jimny
@@RRD97 Yes but the Jimny is a bloody brilliant car. We'll have it in by October next year if Maruti doesn't fuck things up again.
Now there are two things I must do with my life: get a Jimny and bake some bread.
hahaah! Go for it!
Yahhh men
Mate... Exactly what I was thinking haha. Step one - Get a Jimny :D (The easy part haha)
this is me :)
.....who needs billions of $$,...if you can enjoy this simple life with a dependable tough off-roader like this...money cannot by this happiness,...what a lucky guy you are....
You are bang on the money bud! I want to see if I can do a budget build sometime and see how much you really need to have a classic overland vehicle 👌🏻
You nailed it bro. Happiness is not about being rich. It's about being creative.
When is this guy working?
Not billions but still need around £50k for this car with this setup. Then some free time, also money. Money + Free time doesn't`always come together but depends what you do I suppose.
Exactly
as a 2019 jimny user, i got to tell you guys...this car is badass af
im in america i want one so bad. BUT i have a 2014 4runner limited 4x4 so im ok. but could use the jimnys mpg. lol
@@mrpink3630 i dont know that jimny is banned on europe
is it better tham land rover defender?(old) Or suzuki jimny 2019? For offroad in basic configuration.
just got a 2020 and loving it ...went from a speedy mini cooper S to the Jimny and no regrets
With the 1.5L engine?
Camping outside in the middle of the road
Lions: am i a joke to you
Who is still watching this episode
Just watched your episodes and one thing came to mind, you living my dream....Enjoy it!! Excellent!!
God has blessed only you 😍 this is fantastic and you a living a life like how u want best wishes from INDIA 🇮🇳❤♥
Well done to brave that alone. Thank you for being honest about how you feel after attempting certain things, often the looks and reality of how it feels are worlds apart.
LOL, honest? You really think he is alone?
Man I wish they sold this in Canada. That's a sweet set up.
ジムニーを「本当に使ってる」映像を初めて見た気がする。
It was not an adventure, it was running from it. It is good to run away for a new start rather than trying to be a hero and getting lost in futile adventures. Good Job
There are many takeaways from this amazing video, but I have to say, the bread came out amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this with us, you were alone then; you're not alone now.
A true off roader just requires a heart. Period!! Rest are all secondary
That guy got some stories to tell
This is the 1st video I watched. And I must say, I'm impressed with your production. Subscribed!
There's some beauty in going the distance with minimum resources and pushing yourself! It really is awesome!! It makes you trust in yourself and makes you value everything and everyone you have!
What an adventure! I remember my first time in Morocco with the old Jimny, doesn’t get any better. Congratulations
love that tiny car and the roof tent system~~ thank you!
Loved camping in the Central Kalahari back in 1993, it seems the facilities have been upgraded, happy times in a Hilux, but never got round to making bread.
Wow you probably learn more about yourself and your limits in this type of situation. A unique experience shared with us. Thanks. National Geographic should use your services !
Thanks Jamil! 👌🏻 it’s definitely a journey of myself more than anything
Jamié Malé true
Man. I would never be able to cook with such relaxed mind knowing there are lions roaming nearby
My thought as well😅
Good one ! You should have stuck the storm out in CKGR. One of the unique characteristics of the Kalahari is the build-up to and the actual thunder/dust/rain storm. Lay your hands on a book called 'Cry of the Kalahari' by Mark and Dehlia Owen - you were right there where they stayed for 7 years. Enjoy !
Epic; I’ll definitely look out for it!
thankyou so much for the amazing adventure with your JIMNY bro
"It's about how you deal with the problems that really makes life exiting" - I couldn't agree more. :-)
A truly excellent , interesting absorbing episode , im truly jealous , you are a very lucky man indeed
Love the colors and the design build on this thing. See more and more of them in Iceland now.
Mr Gemsbok at 10:13 is absolutely majestic. Great work.
Because the wind was blowing so much he couldn’t smell me and my car,
So I had a good 5-10minute of him standing and trying to figure out what I was! 😂 but he was a real beaut!
Phew i felt your fear and tension. Glad you decided to leave. You can always go back again because if it rained heavily and you got bogged it would be a mission getting out solo. Loved your fresh bread and noticed the baked beans on the fire. 👍 best meal. Awaiting anxiously for the next episode. Stay safe and enjoy the awesome trip through the pans. Hope you get to see the milky way in all its glory
Thanks my brother!! Unfortunately it was so cloudy the whole time; I never go to see the milky way! But I did sleep under the stars the one night 👌🏻
system tent 4:44 is just incredible, lovely water system looks very useful. what a car and trip.. love to watch more !
No such thing as bad weather - just bad planning when you go 4x4 👌🏻
Those dust storms are not so bad at all. The come and go. Next time you HAVE to stay.
I think next time I will try be more brave and stay! 😂
Central Kalahari still on my wish list, fantastic series in a fantastic car
it was my moms dream to see what you see snd experience
may god protect you on your travels
Finally a video that proves YES JIMNY GOT IT WHAT NEEDS TO BE THERE IN A PROPER OFF-ROADING car..
Great video! Botswana is a wonderful place with it's own surprises from time to time!
Your vehicle and it's setup made it a very nice overlander - well done.
Looking forward to your next video on the Makgadikgadi pans!
Oh damn! The next episode should be a real beaut! I can’t wait to start working on it 👍🏻
Preparing and baking this awesome bread in the wild is really something👍👍
For the making off you know already my opinion: you are a PRO 👏
❤️ your comments always make my day Dominque, thanks for always tuning in and supporting the channel!
Your comments always make my day Dominque, thanks for always tuning in and supporting the channel!
Awesome genuine vid with emotion to it!
I have recently moved to Europe from NZ and have been contemplating buying a 4x4 and just driving to Mongolia/Georgia etc and where ever the road takes me, thanks for the Inspiration.
This is how a Jimny is meant to be moved! Hell yeah! :D
Great channel! Awesome footage and editing skills, well done! Im looking forward to what is to come!
I don't know why but this is the car we all want as a dream car 😂
Wowwwwwwwww!! I got goosebumps all the way.. Thanks for sharing your awesome experience.
really impressive! what a wonderful experience! your Jimmny is so cool!!!
Looks totally idyllic my friend.
Your home-baked bread looked delicious too considering your kitchen situation.
As a new subscriber I'm looking forward to following your adventures.
Stay safe and have fun.
👍😎👍
That's without doubt the baddest Jimny I've ever seen 👍
Ur videos has that rawness that i look for when going out in the nature.. Coz nature is beautiful but it demands respect else there is nothing that would save u. Its amazing how real ur videos are. And i love the jimny. Waiting for it to launch in India hopefully soon
It is finally launched.
@@e-nvy yeah it is🙂
One of the raddest channels I've discovered in a while! Well done mate!
Thanks boet!
Best episode yet. Incredible.
correct decision you are out of that kalahari desert...the storm heavy rain is a nightmare...happy you are safe with the correct instinct...nice video...greetings from Sarawak Malaysian Borneo tropical rainforest..🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
I have to admit, your videos have got me to think about getting a Jimny. Keep up the cool stuff, i really appreciate you taking us with you 👍😃
Viewers from all around the world mate, from Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks for joining in and watching Jimbo! 👌🏻
Just one word... Epic! Thanks for the awesome content! Keep it up
This was such a cool trip to take the jimny on. Suzuki should use this video to advertise the coolness of the trooper of a truck.
Respect, man.
My heart longing for a Jimny... Total love..!
They just keep getting better 🤩
That's the best kind of life,travel & enjoy.
This is Epic. I was doing my trips in a little campervan but I'm certain a Jimny is the next vehicle.
Bake a gourmet bread in the middle of no way. You are the man. 💪🏼
Great to look at your Jimny...Reliable and I am so into it now...😍
Jesus man, close down this channel and open a bakery,
Haha 😂
If @Burnham76 , If you can't do something yourself then at least don't discourage others what they do !!!!! Free advice
@@lakiluci474 Burnham is saying that his bread turned out really good, not insulting him
@@bassrabbit4418 alright man , thanks .
True
WOW. One of the best videos if ever seen on youtube. Its such high quality videos that keep youtube up. Not those thrash videos of Simon desue or pewdiepie, Its those sympathy guys like you.
THANK YOU
Thank you!
Amazing video and my heart felt wishes from India.. you are proving the fact how to be self sufficient and sustainable being a sole traveller.
So nice of you
Love the set up! the new Jimny has a lot of potential. Great video
such a big dream to do a solo Bots trip... Hope to catch you on the road sometime!
I'm Japanese!I envy a country like you! I'd love to run in Jimney!! Amazing!
I see this and remember good times in my 69 FJ40 in the early 80's. As soon as it got to the US it would go mad or be an old Tracker. Jimny would kick ads in Hawaii or Eastern WA!
Great video, enjoying your series of the Jimny i love so...
I must say, when I travel the world one day I know I must traverse Africa and definitely SA!
Definitely!
Awesome awesome, series , I love your editing and voice overs, you are a natural at this 🙌🏼👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Thanks brother! 🤟🏻 glad you enjoyed it!
He needs to win an Emmy or something. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Glad to see that you are putting that Suzuki to good use.
Some people can pack a whole house into those little 4x4
Keep Grinding 🔥 Really Loved It, Love From Goa,India ❤️
Thank you! Will do!
Absolutely spectacular episode...cinematography, music, storytelling...all on point, plus just such an amazing area to begin with. I've had good luck refueling with a siphon but you're making me think it wouldn't hurt to keep a funnel packed as well. :-) Stellar work, can't wait for the next one!
I think the Siphon works great when you dont have a dust storm blowing you around! :P But the clip on jerry nozzle would have been perfect.
You r gonna hit the stars 😅
Keep updates warm from the middle of know where places 😍😄
Botswana Tourism owes you a huge thank you...
Our pleasure!
This is what I dreamt of. 😮 what an adventure.
It just keeps getting better man!! Love the work! Keep it up
With a good car, a bit bravery and self reliance Botswana is doable for a Solo Trip, thanks again for the videography, it really brought out the Valness (parchness) of the environment, the beauty of the place
Thanks Themba!
This is not a solo trip
@@RRD97 it's doable in a good vehicle.
@@nqumthemba It's not about the ride it's about the rider.
Man I came here for Jimny, but I realized I found an awesome adventure channel! Your storytelling is great, and your voice is made for it! Keep up the good job!
Awesome! Thank you! Welcome!
Привет из Санкт-Петербурга! Отличное путешествие!
This is fantastic mind blowing experience i am also crazie about it..... stay my determination shows a good pathway for achieve it
Awesome footage, great experience. Congrats on having such an exciting adventure.
Thanks Andrew! Once this lockdown breaks, it can all begin again! 😂
even in 2024, this video is a GEM!
I thought it was a defender until i saw its a zuk and i clicked fast!
You're always welcome to Cyprus, to make some amazing off-road trips here, it would be an honour to me
One day! I really want to do traveling overseas more
Just wait for Turkey to cross the boarder, see what the jimny is like in a war zone
@@johnennis4586 Turkey will never cross the boarder, humiliation is not what they want, they always play safe, they cannot mess up with the Greeks 🇬🇷
I think many japanes owners didn't use full power. so I want to say this is the real Suzuki jimmny!!!!!
Inspiring! You just went for it, unlike most people who make excuses, and lived out your dream! Well done.
Another awesome episode. Loving your work Boet. Inspiring stuff
Hope all is good is there a way how i can ask you some questions about the jimny because I'm strugeling to sort it out from where i am
Beautifull place "daar innie ou Kalahari".Yip,i miss travelling those parts.Have been tourguiding SouthernAfrica for almost 14 years until Dec 2009.Namib&Kalahari my favourite routes, eish how i miss it right now.Landrover defender 90 series was my favourite during those photography tours.Suzuki "vattiekakie"takes no shit.I know the SJ too well.These Dinky toy 4x4 take no shit.Sad,because i am a dialyses patiant for two years now,i can only dream of camping ever again,hence someone donates me a kidney.Greetings to bush friends from a Namibian lost in Germany's urban jungle.
Impressed with your words the way you put in makes it more realistic. watching from India.
well done. you made the right decision, instead of trying to be stupid for a UA-cam spectacle. Maturity beyond your years.
Great looking car, excellent choices in your upgrades
I love your content, it’s so genuine and real - thanks for sharing and inspiring.
❤️❤️
You have water, food, gasoline, air, spare tire, tools, a tent, your health, a road, and an almost air-proof vehicle. It is hard for me to imagine that you are concerned about the clouds coming in. It does look like you have out-fitted the vehicle pretty well, although the Zuki looks like it could use stiffer springs in the back.
The concern is mainly just about the road conditions if it were to rain or storm; I had run out of extra fuel, and food by that point so I had to leave regardless.
Sugoi ！😊👍I have had a lot of fun again since I met your channel.✨
Wow such a great episode. It's quite an adventure
First time viewer and quite impressed. You are lucky to be experiencing such an amazing adventure. Subscribed!
Thanks for tuning in! 👌🏻 and if you want a really nice way to view the videos and adventures in order you can head to roamoverlanding.com/videos I recently rebuilt the whole website so it would be easier to people to see the videos 👌🏻
Nice video and very wise decision to return before the storm hits.
Best wishes from India
Searched for anything to do with the Jimny. Found your channel. Awesome!
