Right. They don't have any control, this guy seems like a yahoo, and if it ends horribly- which it very well could, then not only are you facing terrible publicity, but you may even have his family come at you for liability. Much less risk to let this dbag just do it on his own.

They are most likely berber. Dan if you're reading this, that's pretty ****ty of you. Are you on a voyeuristic poverty tour now?

Dan if you are reading this you seem like a ******bag.
I don't give that title away lightly either. I can understand a hashtag or two, but 25 is excessive. Also taking the photo of children, posting it online, and then alerting the whole world they are poor is crappy.
That would be akin to someone posting on social media with your picture calling out your lameo trip so far. Most of our comments are contained to the thread with little interference with your social media postings.
I hope your postings improve as you haven't seen Africa yet and how truly poor some of those people are. I hope you check the chip on your shoulder soon, as you are traveling the continent on credit and hopefully will be humbled soon.

Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess

Would be worth many more stars than it's got if this were a higher trafficked board
Whoever told him better not be in the pool and trying to interact the test subject.
Did anyone else notice that he ignores question about Emily and he responded to all the other comments on that thread except that one?
He should be fine until he hits Senegal. That's when things can get real
Also according to facebook and his last story on his website he has sold the jeep for 7 camels.
quote:
I also traded the Jeep for some local transportation.
Does that count as seven horsepower?
Thats definitely Merzouga.

gag me. "look at how poor they are #itsajeepthing #travelphotography"
nothing wrong with the photo, but the copy/paste hashtags do not need to be on every single photo. his specific choice of hastags just makes it voyeuristic to me.
I have pictures of me with locals in Mali, but i didn't tell thousands of people "look at these poor people #redbullgivesyouwings" or some crap.
I think if he would have said "traveling off road has led me to experience new and interesting cultures #itsajeepthing" it wouldn't have rubbed me the wrong way.

The other officer is sitting in the cruiser smoking a Marlboro Red, not doing much of anything. This must be the boss. Huge reflective aviators cover most of his red round cheeks. I'm disappointed when his cheshire grin reveals not a hint of gold.
What amazing eyesight to be able to identify the brand from so far away.

I must pay a fine, I'm told. Everything will be OK. Not to worry. Don't be afraid. No problem.

I must pay right now. Here. On the side of the road, to these two characters.
The obvious bribe.
With the most concerned look I can possibly muster I gravely nod, accepting my fate.
My voice trembles as I surprise myself with my acting abilities.
"I don't have any money".
"Can I pay with VISA?".
They both grin from ear to ear and the mood lightens up.
"You can go", says the boss. "Pay attention next time".
As I hop back in the Jeep it dawns on me I wasn't the only one playing the game.
He said that in perfect English.

I know it's wrong and all, but I really just want to throat punch this guy.

Dan, hurry to sub-Saharan Africa! The police are eagerly waiting to protect you!
Yall are falling for his trap!
What gets more views?
1. Nice guy on the adventure of a life time?
2. Pretentious ***** who everyone, maybe not publicly, wants to see roughed up some how.
It's the classic move of reality TV. Have a character on the show that the public hates and they will tune in every week hoping he gets booted off the show so they can then say man I hate that guy! You think women would watch the bachelorette every week if they were all nice Christian guys? NO WAY!
The more angry comments that are left the more viewers he gets. The more viewers he gets the more money he can make. STOP HELPING OUR FRIEND DAN. Just keep this thread going and quietly watch from a distance rather than attract him web traffic.

I get what you're saying, but I don't think he's going to be making any money on this one. Pretentious crap like he's pulled the last couple of days will likely annoy and dissuade potential sponsors and supporters.

Hey Dan, it's all fun and games until someone gets hacked to death with a machete.

I googled "death in the Sahara"
Shocking
After he posted about leaving Morroco for the Sahara (entering western Sahara I presume) it made me think of the "Lady be Good" and "Fligh of the Phoenix".
Prompted me to do the Google - amazed at the you tube videos of human trafficking and death
All while our Dan #ing his grand adventure and lol poorz
Maybe he'll cross paths with a Nigerian trafficker one day.....
