Aaand.... We're bombing ISIS in Lybia. He will need to turn around and go the other way.
Sure he's already looking for the next cargo ship back to Canada.
ugh I just read some of his posts.
In regards to Morocco:
Also, Im wondering where he's going to cross the Morocco-Algeria border at seeing as its closed and has been that way since the mid nineties.

It's been a while since I have driven in an undeveloped country, and it's a shock to be thrown back so deeply into "Make It Up Driving" as I like to call it. Turn signals, stop signs, red lights and lane markings mean absolutely nothing. Go when there is space. Jam in when there is not.

He thinks Morocco is undeveloped huh
Now he's talking about staying 3 months in Morrocco
Where did you see that?
Bad news bub, the closest thing you are going to get to a stop sign in most of these countries is a dude in a mask with an AK
Maybe he caught wind of that LandCruiser thread from a few pages back.

Ie when his visa probably runs out and he has to cross back in to Spain.

Morocco is extremely developed. The country has multiple Four Seasons resorts, FFS. Modern airports. Working plumbing. Trains that run and run on time. Ski resorts. Maybe in exceptionally remote tribal areas things get dicey but that is a very serious exception to the rule.

Unless they have walls separating the countries, a closed border on the highway isn't around a Jeep, bro

So far this guy doesn't scream "off road". The bumps might spill some of his spices.

Just reading the very first set of comments, we're about to follow this dudes online obituary. Without expanding all of the comments, it seems his replies are "It is what it is" and "I'll deal with it as the situations arise."
He boasts on his build thread about how he built his water system and other small things, but he doesn't have a clue in terms of his own security.
This is a well financed (albeit mostly on credit it seems) version of the Chris McCandless story.
ISIS stands for "It iS what It iS."

I'd echo what cmag said regarding his off road ventures so far. The area he is trying to cross has many walls, fences and armed guards. Plus it's no secret who he is and what he is trying to do. When you get into the more rural areas word travels fast that an American is around, especially one with a setup like he has. It won't be any secret where he is going cross and I wouldn't be surprised if people were waiting for him in Algeria.
What, no land mines? I'm disappointed here.
Running boards aren't even dirty.
I think we've all been bamboozled

I've been tellin' y'all for weeks this was a scam.
Is he dead yet?
I got more mud on my truck at Viva Big Bend in downtown Alpine last week.

No, because he still in Morocco. Sounds like he's starting to figure that out
Is he dirty yet?
i have had my jeep in more extreme conditions at barnwell mountain recreation area. this guy is a beating to follow. do something cool for god's sake
Spices and olives aren't your thing?
Dude is in for a real shock, from his blog post today...

Morocco is full of genuinely friendly and nice people that they aren't just after your money. You just aren't going to find them walking around a medina. It would be like walking onto a car lot then being appalled someone tried to sell you a car
It further shows the arrogance of this idiot. He's shocked strangers in Africa don't want to be his friend and talk about how the road chose him. If he ever gets out of the olive shop and on the road he's going to learn the hard way when some dudes stomach chooses him for dinner.

So you're telling me the guy who sold him olives wasn't actually his friend?!?
