Juba's Journey
Another local overland show that I have watched a few of on YouTube. A couple travel around Southern Africa in a Land Rover Defender for 8 months. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_8L5n ... lGY9QDw9cg

If you in a rush you can drive anywhere in a cloud of dust and see nothing. Taking it easy and slower you enjoy life a lot more.

He's done more off the beaten track driving than most of us in the club. Why should it matter what he's driving?

Chill Paul, we’re only having a little innocent dig at him while we are quarantined at home

Juba's Journey:
OK, Ive watched the first few episodes, from them packing up & leaving Cape Town to the start of their trip.
Then on to all the Botswana episodes. The next episode is the entry into Nam, I'll try watch those later.
What I like is he is not a 'Commercial' Youtuber, like, say, Roam Overlanding. He is just a guy sharing a trip.
So he is a lot like Steve Nuns in that regard.
He is a Ginger with a Jesus hairstyle, often has his shirt off - so he is clearly not pandering to the audience.
He doesn't sugar coat his presentation.
He & his girlfriend are very likeable & he has a nice, relaxed, efficient presentation style.
He makes ASPW & Roam look positively irritating & wordy by comparison.
He does overuse the Selfie-stick a bit, but he does it quiet well, his sound quality is very poor, you struggle to hear over the wind buffering.
I think he needs a Mike Sponge or whatever they use to cut that wind noise down. There are parts think he should have over-dubbed during the production stage.
I'm enjoining it, it's a guy sharing his trip, not a guy chasing Like's & Subscribers...

Thanks for your review Manny. I agree with you in almost all your observations. I've enjoyed what I've watched so far.
