Bluesbrother928 Cars and Travel
Initially the channel was just an easy way of access for my few Porsche 928 videos. Sadly this time is gone.
Later I used it to share some Seychelles clips.
And in 2021 I spent some more time on Adobe Premiere (In Covid times - I have more than enough time at hand) and wanted to share some of our wonderful experiences from Namibia.
And finally I could now also finish some of my Nordkapp videos from 2019.
More is in the queue like Marocco, and some Mini JCW videos.

This just put a smile on my face! Dad had one when I was a kid that sounded identical.
I needed to sit down after back to back mountain toucan and toucan barbet. Planning a stay there 2025 . Cheers
Wieviel Diesel habt ihr gebraucht von Opuwo über Marienfluss und Hartmanntal bis Puros? Und gibt es in Puros sicher Diesel?
Das kann ich leider nicht exakt sagen. Der LC hat glaube ich einen 160 Liter Tank. In Puros haben wir 50 Liter bekommen. Viel mehr war nicht da. Hätten wir keinen Sprit bekommen hätten wir direkt nach Sesfontain fahren müssen. So hatten wir genug Reserve um durch den Hoarusib und die Giribes Plains fahren zu können. Diesel gab's seit Opuwo nur hier - und verlässlich ist das auch nicht (damals zumindestens)
Besten Dank für dieses sehr schöne und Video. Wir kennen einen Teil Eurer Strecke von vor ein paar Jahren. Die new road von Ruacana nach Epupa Falls ist natürlich viel leichter zu fahren als die alte Strasse. Aber die old road war doch schöner! Welche Teile der old road sind nach Eurer Erfahrung noch befahrbar?
Freut mich das es Dir gefällt. Wir haben nur einen kurzen Teil der old road versucht. Ich habe mich dann nicht wohl gefühlt weil zu nahe an den Dörfern. Und es macht einen Unterschied ob es die einzige Strasse ist wo man zwangsweise durchfährt, oder ob man augenscheinlich extra dort fährt. Aber wir haben dort am Fluss einen netten Typen getroffen der uns erzählte, das er vor hat eine campsite zu bauen. schön auch sowas zu sehen nicht nur "sweety sweety"
@@bluesbrother928 Besten Dank!
I don't understand why you felt you had to push on for a pretty picture. Why not camp where it was safe. You don't seem to understand desert camping
We decided to go on, because we felt unsure about the location. There were old signs for a campsite and we thought to support the people. But as we stop we saw a bunch of people with kids hurry through the riverbed to the place. We were not ready to spent the night with a "village experience". And we did not feel safe. So we drove on and found a perfect spot in a dry riverbed. But please let me know what your idea of desert camping is?

Super Video! Mit welcher Software hast du das erstellt, speziell die bewegenden Tracks und eingebetteten Videos?
Hi, Danke, das habe ich in AfterEffects gemacht. Ist aber relativ aufwändig wenn man nicht dauernd damit umgeht. Wobei die Tracks noch das leichteste sind...
@@bluesbrother928 Danke für die rasche Antwort. Ich hätte dich wegen Namibia am Forum angeschrieben, kannst du dort bitte mal reinschauen.
Hallo, habe jetzt erst die super videos entdeckt. Kann ich bitte die die gpx-Daten haben, der alte link ist ja schon abgelaufen
Nice vid. We will be going to Walvis Bay soon and we will be renting a 4x4 car Toyota Hilux. We are 3 male adults. May I know do we need to get a permit to enter towards Sandwich Harbour? Saw the photo with a hanging sign by the road "Namib Naukluft Park Sandwich Harbour Permit Required. We are only experience drivers on the road. We know the risk, so perhaps will stop short at the junction where it become treacherous. Or you reckon we will not see much?
Thank you, i am happy to share. You need a permit but am not sure if it is possible to get a private one. Every professional tour guide you will come across will stop and ask you if you have one. But be warned, check with your rental if they allow you to drive there, some cars have gps trackers nowadays. If it happens that you get stuck with no insurance.... and be sure to check the tide situation. Besides that: it is a real beautiful place, make sure to enjoy it!
The first feeder needs cleaned and sugar water changed for the beautiful hummingbirds. Thanks for sharing.
Bttf sound
Gorgeous! Would love it if you could add the names of the hummingbirds!
Would love to, but I would have to look them up myself 😆 but I am happy that you enjoyed the vid 😀
Lovely seeing my home place. Beautiful video, what I love most is the bumpy gravel roads and the change of scenery.
I am happy that I could give back a little. It is a very beautiful and special location. I also loved interacting withe the people.
genial
Hi. thanks for a great video. We are going up in October. 2 vehicles, towing trailers. Would you say this achievable. Any insights would be most helpful. Many thanks
Thanks! Towing? I think it depends on the waterlevel in the canyon. Under the conditions we were there it should be no problem. The passage at 5:32 maybe. If it rains heavily and more water flows it becomes a different story. Enjoy your trip.
I've enjoyed Uganda very much, thank you for sharing 🙏🏾 So different to Namibia, where I spent different holidays. Beautiful birdlife, wildlife. And a very warm hearted finish to mention all the people you met. Every single smile of them looks so authentic. Thanks again!
Thank you for taking your time to write this comment. Most of the people we met were funny, friendly and very forthcoming. I am glad you enjoyed the video. 👍
Спасибо!
Hello, I'm part of the production team of a UK TV show and we'd really like to possibly feature part of this video in one of our episodes. Is there anyway I can contact you to give you more information? Many thanks, Paula
Fantastic drone shots! Do you mind sharing the exact location of this lone tree at 7:10? Tried looking at Giribes Plains on Google Earth but was unsuccessful.
Thank you. It really was a trip I will never forget. I dont have the exact coordinates in the Moment, but it is in the area of the Fearless Pass.
@@bluesbrother928 Appreciate the answer! I actually found it. :) Is the road a lot of deep sand that's easy to get stuck in or will me and my Suzuki Jimny be fine? :D
@@sunsetmoose we had a heavy landcruiser bushcamper. Suzuki Jimny? I dont know. But maybe has the advantage that it is half the weight. It is partially sand (not deep), gravel, washboard, and a bit Rocky.
Hi , did you get to Sandwich Harbor by your own car or with a guide ? I plan to buy a permit to drive through the dunes in the SH area, but I'm not going to drive along the sea line... so I'm wondering if the route won't be too difficult to do it alone.... Regards Marek
Hi Marek, I took the tour with Turnstone tours. If you can get the permit you are legally ok to drive with your own car. If you plan to have a rental I doubt that your rental company allowes you to drive there. But even if all is ok, i would not recommend it. Dune driving is not as easy as it looks. If you have a heavy bushcamper - forget it. If you have a car with mud tyres - forget it. If you manage to get stuck it will be a long struggle to get free again. The sand is treacherous. Permit ? Rental ? Not a heavy car? Tyres ? Tyres aired down ? Experience ? Than you can try. Otherwise i'll recommend a Tour Operator. I managed to get stuck in sand on pelican point with the landcruiser bushcamper ~3 ton. Took me a few hours to get rolling again...
@@bluesbrother928 Hi indeed my LC will be quite heavy, considering the fuel and water is almost 350 kg or even above, instead of a trip to SH we will go to Namib Rand (this was not in the plan). Anyway, I'm not worried about the change of plans 😁 thank you sincerely for your advice👌 Br Marek
What song is that ?
yoh this was what I was looking for worst moments and the sandwich
My hartswêreld...
How long did you stay there after arriving? That is, the duration between arriving and returning. Thanks.
Our Guide - Rudy - told us: You have 30 minutes. To climb the dune, take pictures and then we have to hurry to drive back.
@@bluesbrother928 Thanks for your reply. That sounds a little tme for what I plan to do when there , taking some music videos and such.. Does that time increase for full day tours or the full day tour just increases number of destinations and retains little time at the sandwich harbor?
@@frankmaoro4287 you can only be there during low tide. So the time to spend depends of the general tide situation and the time slot you have at low tide. Its a restricted area. I dont think you can spent the night. But try turnstone tours...
@@bluesbrother928 Thanks for your insight amd recommendation. I was not planning for a night but just thought of sth like an hour even if it on the sand dunes amd not near the concern. I will incorporate what you have told me in my plans. Thanks once again.
Hallo Bluesbrother, super Tour, hab mir fast alle Filme angeschaut - tolle Arbeit. Wäre es möglich die Strecke als GPX Datei zu bekommen? Liebe Grüsse Sigi
@@bluesbrother928 Super, vielen Dank. Bei uns geht es in 2 Wochen los. Namibia und Botswana
@@siegfriedgonser7752 gerne, habt eine tolle Zeit.
Grottenschlecht
Magst mir auch sagen warum?
Well done. Greetings from Poland 🖐️
Thank you, this was our first trip to this region in 2019. Followed by the more extreme trip in 2021. I hope you have fun with the preperations for your trip.
@@bluesbrother928 We have a lot of fun when we are planning our trip to Namibia in May/June. The plan is 99% ready, no south region (Fish River Canyon) and no far north (Epupa) and the rest is similar to your 2021 escapade. Land Cruiser V8 double cab, aluminum cab already booked. Marek
@@lenovoibmr50e LC v8 👍 have a great time, keep me updated 😉
Amazing takes, m gracias.
Nice photos and vids, music got a bit old.
Ohne Worte 👍🏾
Fantastisch - richtig, richtig schön dort! Vom "Fearless pass" und den "Giribes Plains" hab ich vorher noch nie etwas gehört, danke für die tolle Inspiration 👍🏾

Servus ihr Verrückten 😃 - tolles Video, Dankeschön für diese großartigen Eindrücke! Diese Strecke - seid ihr vom Marienfluss gekommen, vorbei am Abzweig van Zyl's und an der Rooidrom geradeaus? Lieber Gruß, Henning
Hallo, Danke :-) , Wir sind westlich durchs Marienflusstal rausgefahren bis zum Abzweig auf Höhe S17° 34.649' E12° 28.680', dort gehts dann nordwestlich hinauf und an der alten Mine vorbei... VanZyls Pass Abzweig ist auf der östlichen Seite von Mt. Ondau. Tolle Strecke aber mit dem Bushcamper grenzwertig ...
Wie immer sehr schöne Musikauswahl. Bitte immer die Interpreten in den Shownotes angeben. Danke.
Yes, typical Ecuador, green, cloudy, and rainy. Nice birds!
Thank you. ...and very friendly people, we would love to come again.
hi there ! I watched all your videos, really great job !!! I am planning a holiday ( 16 days ) in Namibia in May/June. I would also like to rent the same LandCruser model from Bushlore car hire. Can you advise if this model (same as yours) is a good choice? Did the car perform well in the field? Are the guys from the rental company worth recommending? Br Marek
Hi Marek, The CruCam from Bushlore is based on the LC Series 79. The cars at Bushlore's are max. 3 years old. Ours had ~50k km on the clock and it was in perfect condition. But be aware the LC is basically an old car. The engine is a non turboed 6 cyl. 4 liter Diesel engine with 140PS. This sounds enough but the Crucam is quite heavy. Fluids alone are around 250kg diesel and water. On some steeper gravel roads at Kunene we had to go down to first gear. So it is not quite a sprinter. But! After a day or two I got used to it. And then I loved the engine sound and the natural aspirated engine characteristic. It has lot of torque at idle rpm. The single cab also is something you have to get used to it. There are not so much places to put stuff in the cockpit. But again - after some time we got used to it. Where it really shines is: the double fridge setup and electric design with solar and 3 batteries. We set one fridge to freezing for the meat and the other one to cooling for vegetables and beer :-). It has a built in inverter for charging your camera/drone/laptop batteries. Plenty of storage space inside the camper. Very conviniently arranged. And the popup roof top tent accessible from the inside. If you skip the porta potty (which we did) lots of place for firewood etc. Bushlore in Windhoek were perfect. Good communications, nice, friendly, they took time for the handover of the car. Even showed me in detail how to use the hilift - without getting injured! Would I rent the Crucam again? Yes absolutly ! For me the perfect compromise.
First off all thanks for reply So your answer and opinion convinces me, that's the answer I expected 👍 I am not looking for a speed demon but a reliable car with all the amenities needed to travel through the wilderness of Namibia. All the best for New year's! Best regards Marek
@@lenovoibmr50e i am happy that my vids inspired you. You will have a great time, it is a nice country, if you are into meat and braai, i can recommend Klein schlachterei in Windhoek, you can order meat upfront and have it delivered frozen and vaccumed directly to Bushlore. Have a good time!!
@@bluesbrother928 I am a vegetarian, but I really appreciate your advice 😉
hi again ;-) I kindly ask for one more thing.... What camera did you use while driving the car, these shots are very cool 👏 How the camera was attached, it seems to be inside the car. Right? I'm thinking about mounting the camera (go pro hero 10) somewhere on the roof or on the bumper (magnetic holder, high holding force) I like your shots so much that I wanted to come up with a similar way of filming during our trip😄 Br Marek
Thank you for sharing this! Looking forward to visiting Refugio Paz de las Aves very soon! (And I think your photos look great! Your "setups" are just fine!)
Me too...(Booze brings out the nitpickers LOL)
What is the name of BGM?
Cantoma - Alive 👍
@@bluesbrother928 THANKS A LOT
Love this and love Angel and his whole family. I was down there in Feb 2022 for three nights, stayed at the lodge, and had the time of my life. Love your video especially . . . I didn't shoot much video. But I did make a video (mostly slide show) that I would love you to view and get a "thumbs up" from you if you like it . . . kzread.info/dash/bejne/rGiJu5p6eZa2Zbw.html
Excellent video- I get a good sense of the place. By the way, the one after the cock-of-the-rock is not a rare ant pitta, but a dark-backed wood quail
Thanks Daniel, you are right. I messed it up. But the dark backed wood quail is also hard to be found outside Refugio Paz de las Aves. I hope that there will be more places like this in the future to save nature and wildlife.
Did you never get a flat tire?
We made a total of about 12000km in two tours. Fortunatly we had not one puncture. After a rough day the tyres got a little cool down with a splash of beer 😄, maybe that helped.
@@bluesbrother928 I'm going to try my luck starting on the 26 th of this month!
@@otaviskii you will have a great time there! To be on the safe side in kaokoveld, have two spare tyres. And make yoursekf familiar withe jack.
Спасибо. Колибри очень красивые маленькие птицы.. ) 🌿
Thank you Sofya, Birds are so beautiful creatures. Greetings to you! Take care!
Beautiful video !!!
Thank you Steven, it's a magnificent place. The birds are at your fingertips, so you just have to point the camera and shoot. I hope they can keep the place.
THERE ARE BIRDS THAT I HAVE NOT SEEN IN OTHERS VIDEOS....WHERE IS THIS LOCATED.
Ecuador - 20 minutes from Mindo
Some good birds, but the photography set-ups are very poor. You need to get some advice about how to do this well.
Phil, i appreciate your feedback. We had a total of 3 hours then and I tried to make the most out of it. Could you be a bit more specific? Always happy to improve.
@@bluesbrother928 the toucan at 8:27 is worth the price of admission. +10 on that one.
Спасибо
Nice
Yeh!total great channel,take care!))
Liebe Bluesbrothers - sieht fantastisch aus und ist endlich mal eine gute Übersicht bezüglich der Fahrstrecke. Währe es wohl möglich, die Strecke von euch als GPX Datei zu erhalten? Herzlich P
Danke, gerne kann ich die gpx Daten zur Verfügung stellen.
@@bluesbrother928 fantastisch-könntest du sie bitte mir auf „pro at fotograf punkt ch“ zukommen lassen! Herzlichen Dank und liebe Grüsse!
Hallo Philipp, Sorry ich habe Deine Antwort verpasst, Ich habe den Track hochgeladen - ist bis 17.3 verfügbar. c.gmx.net/@328059369369373579/POBRfaqRSPat0pzJL_JmqA
incredible how you film , you capture the essence of the place
