Stan is amazing!

Yer Stan is a top lad, glue of the team

What exactly is the top 5, would love to watch more content like this

Russ Cook Sampson Boat co Foresty Forest Itchy Boots Delos Colin Furze Wintergatan Comment Etiquette I’ve been watching the other ones for years and years at this stage but only found Russ a month ago or so. looking forward to follow your adventures for many years to come.

100% agreed

same thoughts!

It won't be a world record.

@@voetbal12 Why not?

⁠​⁠@@sisdl15if you try to set a "Guinness world record" you have to contact them before hand and document everything with gps and dates and you can't stop for more than a certain amount of time. It's mainly for really long world records because it's easy to cheat. But you could argue that anything you are the first person to do you would hold the "world record" to.

Doing us fellow gingers proud.

Before it the hardest visa but now with the new president it's easy to get it

We want to make sure our country stays safe that's all mate.

it's once you get the hard thing that you experience the best joy but really it's more cause at every border there kind of war so We don't have much of choice

The hardest visa is Libyas

​@@Khatir.lhow's that working out for you?

I feel the same way!

Wow, you watched all videos after the project was completed? That's impressive! It's a lot. I was a few weeks behind most of the time, but during Lent I got months behind and then was less motivated to catch up once Russ had already finished the project.

Fully agree

The OnLY channel I came to YT to watch

Are the roads in that part not good? I hope he has a military escort as that area sounds potentially dodgy.

@@sisdl15 Literally not there. It’s on the map but hasn’t been built. The corridor gets used for truck traffic but it’s a choose your own adventure kind of thing. For bonus fun, Morocco sometimes launches airstrikes in the area, and the official mapped route clips the corners into Western Sahara.

This will be fun to watch 😁

Agreed

Thanks @@ginger4justice1994 . I saw their IG post confirming that night time running

There’s probably tons of reasons. Personal emergencies, disagreements, time resources etc. Keep in mind they’re not just filming a video down at the office, they’re in a different continent dedicating their whole livelihood to another man’s mission. Not everyone has the heart to do that for an extended period of time.

Camera man Stan has been basically ever present right?

@@andrewjolly319 with the exception of like a week off yea. I'm so glad for it because he's such a sound dude and I can't imagine the story without him (and I don't mean just the editing).

I’ve been wondering this too, it seems there must have been some kind of falling out with Jarred and Harry since they never talk about them rejoining the mission

@@fatdog_vx Nah, Jarryd has been coming and going throughout the mission. Bit of background - I follow the all the main support boys like Stan, Guus, Jarred etc. on Instagram and I'm almost certain that Jarred's Dad passed away a couple of months back so there's that. Not sure why harry's been in Mexico for the last 7-8 months though.

The goat is in sight🐐

Just been looking for flights around £230 quid for two days definitely thinking about it 🤣

I'm also joining the Party, so excited for the finish line

I don't think it was obtaining an Algerian visa that was the problem. I had no problem getting my Algerian visa a few years back. However, that border crossing is closed. And northern part of Mauritania is closed off for tourists. Also, you're supposed to apply for the Algerian visa from your home country. The border crossing was open for about a year or maybe two. But I think less than a dozen tourists groups passed through there. I don't think any tourist has crossed there form the south. I was in the third group of tourists crossing from the north. Basically, the problem is that Algeria makes it's money from oil and gas. Not from tourism. And since some tourists were kidnapped about 20 years ago, Algeria has basically decided that tourism just isn't worth the potential hassle and bad publicity.

I'm sorry to say that there is a LOT of trash in that area. So a small wrapper isn't going to be noticed. When I was there, we tried to have a camp fire to burn all of the plastic bottles we found. And there were a lot of them.

​@@Tjalve70one small wrapper is how it starts. 😢

@@louise7552 And vice versa. Picking up one small wrapper is how you start cleaning it up. No matter how much it is.

I always saw your flag in Atlas at first page, idk why as a kid I thought Algeria was in Eastern Europe. I was interested in geography and flags , Algeria is one of the first flags as I learned beside my country .Idk much except your Capital Algiers .Would love to visit . Love to Algerians from India .

that is already in the works from near the beginning. A few episodes back you saw Josh and the Austrian - they are running the documentary side of things.

@@_Wombat cool to know

I agree. It's going to be hard to know how it will be to run through the desert. Once he'd get to the border of Algeria, it's tarmac roads the rest of the way. But through the sand, it could be a problem both for Russ and the 2WD van. It's not at all impossible that the desert will delay him. But he IS the Hardest Geezer, so we'll see.
