When this project does end, I wish we could get a wind-down series, how does Russ and the gang recover from this mad journey and readjust to normal life, or what everyone gets up to. Even each filming themselves then spliced together as updates. Maybe I just don't want it to ever end!

so ive come to realize that this is essentially the core four group that will be remembered. stan, guus, jamie, and of course russ. but there's been various folks to come and go, and even jarred and harry were awesome, so was james. they're definitely all part of a huge experience of worthy of praise. but this current group seems to gel so much together. they all get along well it seems and really bounce off each other. this isn't to take away from anything the others have done on the trip, but the interactions and experiences with this current group i feel are the most memorable.

@Tjalve70 5 ай бұрын

@@Viniter Based on the last seconds of this video, it does seem that way, yes. Re-reading your comment at 3:10, I think you are a bit too pessimistic. When I drove there in an overloaded Land Cruiser, we didn't really have much problems. Well, we wouldn't have, if we hadn't pulled a trailer. So 4x4s should really not have any trouble getting there. And a 2WD that is quite high, and with an experienced sand driver, should also be able to do it without too much trouble. But a 2WD van, with a driver who is not experienced in sand driving, I would say that would only be possible with a LOT of help from the 4x4. And even then it might not be possible.
