Exciting news ? 24 kg. is quite a bit.

So now fixed to live in Africa !

Congratulations with the move - hope it brings what you are looking for.

New plate on the 110 !!

Please, please keep the videos and stories coming. Still not sure how you make the videos different from the other ones that are around but all sort of feel the same.

Love them.

So happy you are back to publishing your experiences. Due to your example I’ve lost 6 kg since you showed the skinny Darrin. Another 8 or so would look better on me!
Thanks and welcome back.

Thanks very much mate!
I am struggling for views & Patreons etc tbh, so not sure how long I can continue, but lets see where we end up...

Sadly I've had an extremely difficult relationship with YouTube to date:
Initial episodes banned under their covid policy ('glorifying your response to the pandemic'), denied monetisation for 2 years due to this until legally challenged and seemingly 'throttled/detuned' in different weird ways ever since, who knows, it is hard to tell.

Sorry to hear about your issues with u-lube. I've stopped watching their content, because of the political advertisements that you can't skip over. I definitely enjoyed your videos, and watched then evolve.

Maybe move to Africa or use a VPN?
Most countries in Africa show no adverts on YT... so it's more fun to watch from there!

Please find below my latest episode - a collection of interesting clips giving a great taste of what will be Series 6.
This one has a lot of green rainy season fun in Namibia and Zambia - wet muddy driving and many wildlife shots with vivid green backgrounds and a lot of baby animals which are something special to see.

I'm putting together these preview episodes of all future series as I'm half busy sorting out my new life in Africa this month and am finding it hard to concentrate on developing fuller episodes - but also to see if they garner any support or views before I commit to spending 2 years working 6 days a week on editing my way through them.
They don't have the very best shots, much context & background or a narrated storyline. But I do work hard to make them interesting and engaging to watch...

Do they spike your interest? Should I spend years editing all the footage keeping in mind my filming equipment and abilities get much better over time?

I'd be there in a minute, with my Victoria (my defender)...but getting my wife to even visit would take an act of congress...live there...would take the efforts of a higher power yet...lol.

Enjoyed your last video, and there's nothing wrong with a whiskey and coke occasionally, unless of course it's before breakfast...but then again some morning just require such things.

Yes please spend years editing and get them up ASAP. I enjoy the natural history and your interactions with the few people you encounter in the bush or during Landy maintenance and repairs. Having spent lots of time in the SW US deserts and in those of NW MX I am intrigued with the similarities to those of Africa. Solitude is a great developer of thoughtfulness.
