    Good day Mr Ryan. I m enjoying your episodes in Botswana Serowe town. I loved it. Is there any way in which car engines can be protected from this deep water crossings? Or this idea is not yet in car manufacturers and the like? But anyway this was great and i also loved that part of lions roaring in your camp, how was the experience

    • @4x4ventures_southafrica
      @4x4ventures_southafrica 17 годин тому

      Yeh it was a crazy experience having lions in camp, for sure. The best bit of advice, stay away from water crossings. Any motor is subject to drowning. There are ways of kitting out a motor to protect it from water, but, it’s not something we do for fear of starving motors of air. Stay away from water, I was lucky

    HI, I think a swag can work in a normal fenced camp site. In the wild I think if you put in on a stretcher and next to a vehicle you should be quite good and not on the open should a herd of animals come running though your camp site . Nice video and nice places you have been to.

    Howzit Ryan I have a fridge freezer like yours , if there is not sufficient power to run it the compressor will not operate , it’s quite normal and the unit should be ok once you rectified your battery set up . By now you would know what the cause was ? One way to find out if the compressor is faulty is plug the Dometic into mains power 220volts .

    • @4x4ventures_southafrica
      @4x4ventures_southafrica 20 годин тому

      Yeh so we did the above mentioned, plugging into mains, but the problem persisted. We found out that the compressor had blown as a result of not poor air circulation. The dometic is a great fridge, don’t get me wrong. The only slight issue is the ventilation is at the bottom, and it will battle in a closed environment if the air is not circulated, as per what happens in a tray and canopy. Thank you though for your suggestions legend 👌

    Hey Ryan .. good to see you boys out and about again .. the Swag … ok I live in Australia where they are quite common and popular , I have borrowed my nephew’s one a few times.. the only benefit is they are quick to erect . The down side is they are very bulky and heavy for their size , then if you want it off the ground then you have to get an off ground stretcher frame purpose made for a swag .. and that comes with another heavy bulky add on . They are nice in winter as they are warm . But in rain I have serious doubts if they are going to keep you dry . Personally I would find a very well made practical two or one man canvas tent . The new canvas made now is a lot lighter than the older tents from years ago . The swag can open up if you get hot at night , they are enclosed with mozzie fly screen net .. but wildlife like lion etc would take advantage of that and it would be not safe being so low down and exposed . Swags are not for everyone and certainly not in Africa in the wild bush with predators around ! Stay well !

    Hi Ryan . I love the episodes. Reese can get a swag from Ironman 4x4 . It's very sturdy and awesome quality... but i agree with you i wouldn't feel safe. But i also believe predators see a ground tent and a swag as a "bush" or a big rock. I don't think they have picked up that there would be a human snack inside a tent. They just don't hunt like that . But an elephant might step on you by accident. So if i would use a swag, i would pitch it next to a vehicle.

    • @4x4ventures_southafrica
      @4x4ventures_southafrica 5 днів тому

      Thank you legend. So my concern with a swag is getting in and out of one at a compromised position, on ones side. In the early hours of the morning I think one would be more vulnerable to a leopard attack, no matter closeness to vehicle. It is an interesting idea though. Rhys has seen the swags as you mentioned, but I think he has his eyes set on something else from dometic. Thanks again and I appreciate your comment 🙌

      Thank you Shaun for your awesome message. We both appreciate it mate. So the thing is camera always softens everything. Angles are never steep and sand never looks that thick, but, it is very thick in some parts. Glad you enjoyed the adventure mate, and thank you again for your kind words. Legend 🙌

    This conversation will be helpful for me too as i have been looking into buying a swag from Ironman but i have been skeptical, haven't seen one in person here in Bots! But i feel is the same as canvas ground tent but very small as if is a sleep bag 😂😂

      It’s a tough one if you make it so. For me, personally I wouldn’t tempt a swag, but for others they are keen. Without having tested one, or spoken to anyone who have slept in the proper wild with one I cannot advise you legend. I’m sure it will be fine, but can you imagine sleeping in one at Mabua, Kgalagadi and the lions come into camp. Shit, not for me mate. Good luck 👌

    Another great watch Ryan and Reece. Stayed elsewhere in Khwai before but now Magotho is definitely on my wish list.

      Thank you and enjoy Magotho. Bit of advice, if you can, book out of season as apparently the campsites get very full. Enjoy

    Fantastic video. Dont know how 8 missed it when it was released. Insane to see so many elephant kills. I actually filmed the elephant calf kill by Serondela in Chobe early in the morning. Very sad and hard to watch.

      Awesome guys. Thanks for watching. Never pleasant to witness elephants being killed but a privilege to witness.

    Fag the swag, I built a bush camp in Manyeleti and slept in the open for 6 months, no fire arms either. People over think wildlife security 😊

      Not sure I agree. Wildlife/predatory attacks do happen and have happened. 6months nothing, next day it can go wrong. Not to over think, but rather advise on the side of caution. Thanks though
