    I recently discovered your channel just a few months back. I had to catch up with many of your past videos. What I love most about your type of Overlanding is how much it has taught me about our country and its beauty. Most overlanders do the obvious glamor places. Your passion for our landscapes, has really impacted my love for all the diversity in SA. You are a good teacher.

    I’m always blown away by the quality, description and details of all your videos, on your other channel too. They’re amazing! They’re seriously on par with a BBC wildlife documentary. Great to watch and the effort you put in is out of this world.

    The scenery in all of these videos is simply spectacular! It is always so nice to get to ride along and view it all with you, though not nearly as impressive as it must have been for you to be right there. I have said this to you before, but your filming and editing skills have become extremely professional grade IMO. 👏👏👏

    Hey Bud. We met at Walmer Park on Monday. Thanx for the work you do, it made us see and learn alot about our country. You should maybe give a paid tour(open one of the trip to the public that might prefer joining). I say paid - to compensate for your time/tour guide. Or a trip once a year.

    Its always nicer to pack a dry tent away, but its not always possible. When you get to your next stop, then open it all up to thaw out. Gets rid of that canvass smell

  • @adtmav1973
    @adtmav1973 Жыл бұрын

    Hey Matt! Greetings also from PE! 😁 Love your content. Quality pics & videos! Thank you! Not sure if this question has been asked before, but I'd like to know why you have your tent on the front of vehicle (more likely worse for wind resistance & fuel consumption) and not at the back of canopy? As your windscreen compresses air to go over the top, it hits the "brick shaped tent" with more force... And noticed that your back roof rack hardly have anything on and if you have something, it'll usually be less of wind resistance than the tent...? (Like trax, etc) Anyway - look forward to your next episode of Sani Pass! 😁🍻👊🏻

    Outdone yourself again Matt… loved the video… we spent a week at Hermits Wood when we still lived in KZN, and we really enjoyed it there. We would like to know if you use a 12 V electric blanket, and if you do, where did you find one as we haven’t been able to find one for a while now. Keep up the good work.
