    You all make such a good team, it’s unbelievable. Russ - thinking quickly and immediately figuring out what goes on in the robber‘s heads, Jarred - although having the experience in Martial Arts deciding not to try to stop them in any way and then Harry - being so courageous and saying No to getting out of the van but at the same time deciding to give away those important things with the intention to save themselves. You couldn’t have done it any better. You had to give them the stuff, otherwise you never know if they would have been satisfied and have done something worse.
    And not to forget Stan - taking in the news so calmly and then making this documentary out of it! Brilliant!! The editing, beautiful!

    • @Blandge
      @Blandge Před 11 měsíci +9

      It was statistically the most likely to happen in either South Africa or Angola as they have the highest crime index of countries in Africa.
      It was honestly just a matter of time. Publishing their route and location, highly publicized, driving an extremely recognizable vehicle.
      They aren't even 1/4 of the way through the journey, and this is the second attempted robbing so far (along with the time Russ almost got robbed running after dark), and it will most likely happen again multiple times.
      They just need to be prepared for it, and they'll probably be fine.

I have been meaning to do it for a while, but after seeing this I told myself NO MORE hesitating and I have finally signed up to your Patreon. I'm not in a position to run across Africa, but I would hate to be so supportive in the comments and then not feel like I'd contributed even a tiny amount. Now I can say I've helped just a little bit.

    Mad respect for your perspective on the robbery and your ongoing love for the Angolan people. You four are LEGENDS. Heroes on MANY levels.
