I don't know how you do it every week, the quality of these videos is amazing. A large team of writers, videographers and editors with the budget of a major production company couldn't do a better job.

Hi Lea. Greetings from Oz. Carrying spare petrol is always a problem, especially on corrugated outback tracks. Everything shakes off ! A soft fuel bladder works well and is easily stored when empty. Magic adventure into the desert. Thanks for taking us along.

@ramdas363 2 жыл бұрын

I get that they're into biking but this isn't actually a problem, just drive a car. There is a reason you don't see locals ride motorbikes in the heat with the dust flying everywhere and the condition of the roads. Nothing against their trip and I think their videos are very well made, but just saying. Cars are more suited for the desert than bikes.

Hey Lea and travel partner, nice drone shots on the sand ridge in your signature red dress💃 the vastness of the desert was impressive, Isaiah 35 speak about when desert will be a productive Paradise" The wilderness and the parched land will exult, And the desert plain will be joyful and blossom as the saffron, For waters will burst forth in the wilderness, And streams in the desert plain." Looking forward to next Thursday 🙏

@Got2Go 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much - I have to admit that the sign scared me a bit! I would have felt more confident without it 😂😂😂

@ghassanalfarra8935 2 жыл бұрын

@@Got2Go the sign really is substantial, sadly many people in the past,including whole families have perished in the empty quarter due to carelessness or lack of knowledge, it's enough to wander a few meters from the paved road, get stuck in the sand, then death of dehydration and/or sunstroke steps in within hours .. all is nice, romatic and magical just watching on a mobile phone/tablet screen, but being out there in the flesh enduring +60c temps during the day, and sub-zero temps at night is a totally different experience and surely not for the foolish nor ignorant to venture in unprepared Stay safe fellow riders!
