Come on guys ! We all love the content so let’s help Ed, Ryan and Chris with a bit of Patreon . Sign up ! 🙏👏
Thank you so much Alan! Your support is amazing and I can’t wait to meet you and see your amazing rig in Cape Town! Best regards Ed
Great series. Thank you for taking us with.
To coin a phrase (used many, many times)... "absolutely superb!"
Lions so perfect that it looks like they are purposely posing for pictures! Love them 🦁🙋🏼♀️🇺🇸
You guys are amazing, the more I try watching other off road camping guys, I find myself searching more of your videos even if I watch them over 50x, they still leave me amazed and loving them. My data bill hasn’t decreased since I discovered you guys three years back after buying camper trailer😀😀😀.
All of the best in the future Outlanding endeavour
I am 77, and did travel alot as well, so I enjoy your videos so much, hope you can still do it!!
Thanks Monica!
Thanks so much for a wonderful series…. Looking forward to next trip…..
Thanks Gavin!
South Africa is a flippin amazing place! Thanks for conveying this in your videos! Somkhanda looks like a dream, definitely on the bucket list!
Thank you mate!
What a trip!! 😊
can watch this all season .always superb capturing. Awesome
Wow Ed that was a magnificent series mate!!! You have a real talent for capturing the beauty of your unique country. Thank you very much fella;D
Thank you so much Vik!
Boet, you're making me feel so nostalgic about a place that I have never been too, I so want to go now. AWESOME AND AMAZING show. Thanks to Jay and Jason too for showcasing this place
Very cool episode Mate! Can't wait to go visit Somkhanda as well!
Thank you so much mate!
Absolutely love watching your videos. I was born in Zim and now live in Scotland. I went on Honeymoon in SA and can't wait to get back and show my young daughter all the fantastic animals and Beautiful scenery.
Can I ask what editing software do you, Ryan and Chris use? Keep up the incredible work 👍.
Love each episode!! My boy and I spend the whole Sunday afternoon watching - on the icamper review now 😂 boys wanna c everything and his suggesting a hut/rondawel tour / show and tel kinda 😉 and I'm happy to c SPION KOP view - on my bucket list being a HUGE LIVERPOOL supporter!!
Where is female lions and Nice experience to see you are exploring National parks Reserves and Exploring floura and fauna i experienced you're video looks very Nice presentation 👌👌👌👍👍👍 And Rhinoceros have no Horns
Nice vid as usual. I have been in Nelspruit multiple times and I didn't know about Jackelberry Ridge. Piet Retief is my home town. The Total with Mugg n Bean is fairly new and the service is great. It hasn't been very busy like the other old stations.
Thank you so much! Yeah Jackelberry is a win for sure!
About 15 or 20KM from Nelspruit to Barberton there is a hill called hilltop with multiple turns. Should be a downhill from Nelspruit to Barberton. How did the trailer perform with the sudden braking especially if you don't know the road? I ask this because you've mentioned that you've kept your 200 stock without all the bells and whistles of after market trailer brakes and all.
Great content! Cheers.
Thanks Jono!
Great video Edward. Looking at your trip numbers - about 8km/L given your fuel volume & distance. The editing hours divided into 18 hour days equates to 40 days. People might envy your lifestyle but would they be willing to put in the hours by a desk editing meticulously. By doing what you doing you not only awaken our own (neglected wanderlust), but serve as an ambassador for our amazing wildlife & natural heritage that can so easily be forgotten during Covid, life etc. Respect!
Thank you so much Sean! It is a lot of work but it’s completely worth it in the end! Thank you for the constant support and comments!
Great video of Somkhanda and its exciting wildlife Ed!
Thank you so much! It’s an incredible place 🙏
AWESOME Ed! You made my day! Again. Thank You! Always looking forward to your videos, coz they're the closest to being there in person. Bless You & Please STAY SAFE!
Thank you Hendri! Your kind words always make my day!
Awsome 👊👊
Loved this video! We are off to Somkhanda next weekend ! 👌🏼🏆🙌🏼
I hope you guys have an amazing time! Thank you for the kind words and support!
Awesome vid Ed 🙏🏽
So heart-breaking that dehorned rhinos are now the norm!
It really is hey Stephen 👎 we are really killing this planet 👎
Your videos are just incredible. I’m privileged to be able to watch them. Almost unfair to watch them for free.
Thank you so much for the kind words, I really appreciate it!
Really enjoyed watching your channel .. must watch..
Was born in Barberton 😁 lekker one ED 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you mate!
Bru, you nailed it.
The shots of the those lions chilling in the late afternoon light were epic.
So, damn good!
Natal, my old home province!
Lekker man..pass my town of Piet Retief...yes the best Total ever
Proudly SA!
Awesome vid Ed, they just keep getting better and better!
Well done Ed. Hope you watch for lion when you are jogging to set up the camera. Hope to see this reserve someday. Liked it all except for the revelation that it took 725 hours to edit. That's a killer.
Thank you! Haha yeah it is a killer for sure! Luckily where I was jogging there were no lions hahah!
it was truly an epic adventure... thanks for sharing
So good, thanks Ed for this series!! So stoked to see where you head to next! All the best!
Awesome video Ed!
Thanks bud!
Ed well done for really excellent footage on amazing trips..have experienced many of the places you have shared ...but wow! you are so talented to be able to capture what true overlanding is all about...
Thank you so much Trish! The kind words really mean a lot!
This is one of those channels where you subscribe after watching the first video and binge watch every other video
Thank you so much Jason! I’m glad you are enjoying the videos!
You are a legend Ed. Fantastic series! Enjoyed every single minute. Keep up the awesome work mate 👍🏻
Thank you so much mate! Your support means a lot and thank you for the kind words!
Amazing video, we loved the series, thank you. We haven't been to Spioenkop, but will.make a plan to go visit. Thanks for the introduction.
Thank you Jurgens!
Awesome video Ed! Always love your editing, music and just overall enthusiasm for Southern Africa, great job. I little bitter sweet to see this one come to an end, especially knowing you won't be at it full time anymore but just signed up as every little bit helps. Good luck and keep the videos coming as often as you can.
Thank you so much Joe! Thank you so much for signing up, it really makes a huge difference and means a lot so thank you!
What a privilege to have another video absolutely fantastic 👌
Thank you Amie!
The lions there looks in such a good condition. Amazing
Thanks for the review. We went to stay there end of May, and have booked again for July..!!..!! All thanks to you! Hidden gems of our beautiful country!!
nice video. Somkhanda looks like nice place to camp,
How did the new tires did with the off-road track to the top of the mountain ?
Thanks Frik! They were amazing, we were lazy and didn’t lower the pressures so climbed that hill when they were at 2.8 bar so they were very impressive! I will definitely be letting the pressures down next time though 🙏
What a trip, jealousl!
Nice one ed..i see u pilling in sum kilos...love wat you do bro.
Absolutely awesome man. I could feel the emotions at the end there. Keep doing what u do man, we l try help in whatever way we can. Cheers bud..

Thank you so much Victoria!
Hello Edward I’m an avid follower and subscriber of your channel and your overlanding buddies Ryan and Kristof. When are you touring Namibia?
Hey bud! Thanks for the support! Hopefully in 2022!
Majestic
Absolutely superb!
Thank you so much!
Wish I could get a diesel Ranger here in the States.
How miss this
this is nice Ed!... waiting for you in Botswana. it has been long
Thanks mate! Hopefully in 2 weeks time I will be in Moremi!
Great video as always. That hammer grill is a beast.
Thank you! Loving the Hamer Bumper 💪
Epic Edward!!
Thank you mate!
Great series Ed.
Welcome back 🙏 legend 🙌 👏
Thank you legend!
Epic like always!!!
Thank you mate!
Another great video Ed and part of an absolooootly awesome series.
I feel blessed to have had the privilege of sharing part of that journey with you and I'd like to thank you for all the effort and hard work you put into producing a great product. I know that for you it's a labour of love.
Looking forward to the next one.
As far as Patreon goes I will not be donating because I object to them taking 25% of all contributions. Please set up a PayPal account and it would be a pleasure to make a contribution.
Thanks again.
Thank you so much Paul! Really appreciate the support from day 1. The kind words are really motivating and mean a lot really! Wow I would really appreciate the support Paul! Yes that is definitely an issue on Patreon 👎
@@EdwardBath Please open a PayPal account - I think you will find people are more eager to help.
I like to watch people who have cycled around the world and many have stopped using Patreon and moved their donation accounts to PayPal.
@@pauldarbishire7226 I have opened a Pay Pal account thanks to you Paul🙏 seems like a better method for supporting creators 🙌
@@EdwardBath good move Ed. I'm a pensioner now but still love to adventure. The thought of giving 25% to a company for nothing other than creating a pathway for the public to support creators really angers me.
Have you put your account link on your CZcams channel?
Good luck and stay safe
@@EdwardBath interesting point about Patreon ... what’s the PayPal account details Ed ?
Wow this is epic
Thank you Petrus!
Wow as a noob to camping you guys are inspiring people like me to get out there and explore our beautiful country. I'm looking to get a RTT would you guys suggest I get on for my trailer or on my vehicle ?
Well done EB and Companions kind regards
Thank you Markus!
Excellent job again Ed. 👌
I need to get there when in SA (soon).
Thank you so much Alan! Really appreciate the constant support 🙏
Epic content Mate. 💪👌
Thank you so much mate!
Would like to see a rig/campsite walk around. Good video
Thanks Robert! Just waiting on a couple of changes and then the rig walk around will be uploaded 🙏
Hey Ed, greetings from Germany! Beautiful content, great work and lovely moments you shared with us. My grandparents also live in ZA and I really do not visit them often enough!
May I ask what you do for your living. I'm mean, 725h of editing besides familiy, friends, work and your girlfriend... this must be true passion :) keep it going, I think I can speak for all the viewers out here, we love it and it is quite an inspiration! Stay save and best regards (:
Hey Thomas! Thank you for the incredible comment 🙏 at the moment I’m putting everything into creating videos but unfortunately it’s not making enough money to be sustainable and I’ve run out of savings for future trips so will have to try and go back to the day job. I’ve started a Patreon account so that viewers can support me which is helping a little at this point 🙏 I will always try and create videos about Africa but like I said at this point it’s not sustainable
Awesome episode. So the big question is why fled over the border if we have everything here in SA. Wild camping, epic places and best views.
Thank you Jacques! Yes exactly, we have amazing places right on our doorstep!
It is unfortunate that Somkhanda is stopping tourism in favour of hunting. What a shame.
Just heard the news now, it’s terrible!
Tried booking today. No longer possible, it's been stopped. 😣😣
Terrible news Michal💔
Ed when are you coming back to Botswana?
Ed, what do you use to prevent malaria
Hi Joey! It’s always advice to get from you’re GP but the best thing is to prevent getting bitten in the first place with insect repellent 🙌
Hi, I love your video of this amazing country. I would love a soundtrack of the bush night. Can please consider one just to listen to in bed. Cheers enjoy every moment out there. Thanks for the journey.
Thank you so much George! I will film one and make it available to you, best regards!
@@EdwardBath Thank you
