Was this a bad idea? REMOTE forest in ZAMBIA 🇿🇲[S7-E89]

In this episode, I am leaving the town Zambezi in Zambia and start heading towards the capital of Zambia, Lusaka. That is too far to reach in one day so I try to get to Kaoma. There are two options: the shortcut, and the long way around. I opt for the shortcut - but was that a good idea?

    Hi Noraly, I have been depressed, unemployed, struggling Assyrian woman. I just binged the whole series from the start and am in tears - Your travels, unwavering strength & radiant positivity are so very inspiring. Thank you for giving me hope that one day I can smile as bright as you do ❤ much love from Detroit Michigan Edit: Ohhh wow I guess Noraly took away her like but did not expect anyone to care about what some random girl being vulnerable on the internet is going through. I am deeply moved and you’ve filled me with so much hope, made me feel loved. You are all so inspiring & all I can say is thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for being a wonderful community, thank you for sharing your struggles, offering gentle kindness, & showing me love. God Bless you beautiful people! You are amazing and I love you ❤

    Soft sand is so awful on a bike. Your determination was fantastic. But like on a boat on the ocean when the sea kicks up, there's no going back, no stopping, your only option is to simply carry on. I am from Africa, I have driven similar roads. But alone, on a motorcycle? You are truly one of a kind, a genuine hero.

    Noraly, you are double tough. I dump the ol’ DR 650 in deep sand a half dozen times, and I start to lose interest. Because picking up a fully laden bike is exhausting, and riding in deep sand is exhausting, and doing it over and over again is _really_ exhausting! Your fortitude, persistence and positive attitude set a fine example for us all. I hope Alaska is OK! 😃

    Your an experienced rider, you probably already thought about it. Instinct after a fall is to get back onto the saddle and go again. I find it helpful to wait a moment to get over the exertion of lifting the bike, and relax a few minutes to cool down before getting back on, allows the body to rest, and cool down, a mental and physical reset. Too often people rush to remount the bike and go, and the fatigue tends to multiply, rider over heats and crashes become more often, than if they had rested and cooled down to restart fresh.

    Goeie dag Noraly, I just watched and enjoyed your ( S7-E89) trip in Zambia and lowering your tyre pressure on a sandy track is a very good technique as this lengthens your tyre footprint giving a larger surface area on top of the sand so you will not sink in as much. Your chance of getting a puncture will also be reduced. Think of it this way, a fully blown up balloon can be easily punctured with a pin, a half blown up balloon is much harder to puncture with a pin because the rubber of the balloon is much more flexible. The same with a tyre, at lower tyre pressures the rubber is more flexible and the Tread can conform to the shape of the object you are driving over reducing the chance of a puncture.

    At 77 and with mild cancer, life can be dull at times but your videos are like regular pep pills and make 25 minutes zoom by in a delightful way. You inspire with bravery, cheerful optimism and sheer determination. You are a lesson in spirituality wrapped up in boots and a crash helmet. Bravo! You also provide a contemporary picture of the state of modern central Africa. As an ex-Rhodesian it brings back wonderful memories but frustration at the lack of improvement to so many African lives. Things look no better than when I travelled in Zambia shortly before independence.

    In "Zambia Shall Be Free" by Kenneth Kaunda, he recounted an incident of being waylaid by a lion, in one of his travels throughout the country to rousing the political consciousness of the people, in the 1950s/60s. Instead of surrendering effortlessly, he wrote that he scared off the menacing lion by raising up his bicycle shoulder high (as if to attack the lion with it). I read this book over years ago but I recalled this incident by your imagining that the narrow-muddy-grassy path you plied looked like a lions' ambush magnet. I admire your bravery in plying these lonesome bushy pathways, keep up the great adventure. Zambia so far reminds me of my Eastern Nigeria homeland, I can't wait to see the rest of your exploration of this country of West Africans-seeming people.

    Glad you made it to Kaoma - ten falls in one day must be a new record for you. Glad Alaska held up alright and that she didn't have any major breakdowns. Hope you get a good meal and a shower at your accommodations. Once again you are lucky - hard to say if the shortcut was a good idea but at least you made it through all your falls. Stay safe, stay well, get some rest, and be careful. Enjoy the journey and keep up your great attitude. You have to be sore after all of those falls but at least you had no injuries.
