In his tool jeep. And is he dead yet? Did a search and couldn't find anything

Appears he's not dead yet, and still a tool.

Man, he made it way further than any of us gave him credit for. He might still be a tool, but at this point, if he hasn't died, he might actually make it.

I haven't seen him do any "off roading" beyond what my Celica could handle.

I've seen half dead corollas and 20 passenger mini buses here in Cameroon take on tougher roads than that guy has taken his jeep on.

Agreed.

Was skeptical at first, but I give the guy credit, he's still at it. Dudes living the dream. Trying to make money doing what he wants to do,

I dont give him any hell because he wants to take it easy on his rig to try and make it around Africa. Its easy for me to sit here and want to see the guy jump a sand dune, but, its his ***** If it gets ****ed up hes out of a job and stuck in African ****hole. That said, i'd be driving that rig like ms. daisy in the back.

I'll eat my crow. The guy is a tool, but he's obviously very capable. And he's got huge brass balls.

Eastern Africa may have other thoughts about it.

I follow the guy loosely on twitter just to see if he's still alive. So far it seems like he has had a fairly smooth go of it outside of dealing with bribing government officials and supposedly being stuck somewhere without any gas in the entire country. Though I think the gas story was made up soley for clicks

Why is he zigzagging all over the damn place - isn't the idea supposed to be take a direct route & avoid copious border entry/exits?

I would guess he's #1 trying to find decent roads, #2 trying to see as many sights as possible.

I think now that he's traversed Western Africa, the trip through Eastern Africa should be much easier. At least in my mind its a much safer place with a better road system..albeit some places will still be difficult. I sure wish he was doing safari stuff while in East Africa. It would be much more interesting to see his daily kills.

He's also no longer hiding the fact that his girlfriend is with him.

1. I think he ended up skipping some of the more dangerous areas that were the reason for the death pool in the first place
2. He sold the trip as a solo one and he's not solo
3. **** that guy

A few weeks ago we stopped at the Mini-Mart for something and I saw a muzungu guy in shorts with white leather loafers talking on a cell phone. As we drove through the gas station we saw a white woman standing next to a pretty tricked out Land Cruiser with a HELP look on her face. We stopped to talk to her and learned they were German and had been taking what sounded like a similar route for about a year and a half. They'd just pulled into Lundazi and were looking for a clean guesthouse (not the Lundazi castle). We had company or we probably would have invited them to stay with us but we were able to point them in the right direction.

So the Road Chose me guy dumped his GF in Rwanda? Jeebus. Either he is heartless or she was Industrial Grade crazy or something.

It's unbelievable to me that her hashtags could be worse than his, but they are.

Probably both. I assume he'll make it as long as he skips somolia.

"But, baby. The road didn't choose you."

Also, it's gotta be a pretty big blow to know that your boyfriend decided that he'd rather drive through Rwanda by himself than be with you.

Thanks for checking in. Em and I have decided to go our separate ways. Living in a Jeep in Africa turns out to be really hard on a relationship!

So 'ol Dan was peeling out of a Rwandan stuckey's parking lot at 6 in the morning while Em was on the loo and dan was "getting the check." Probably stiffed her with the bill, too.

He seriously left her in Rwabda? That *******. There is no good reason whether she is crazy or not to leave a traveling companion in Africa.

I thought he was just a dewsh before, but now he is a dewsh *******. I keep waiting for him to get into real trouble.

Doesn't matter how bad your relationship is, you don't ditch a white woman alone in an African third world country unless you think she might actually kill you. That's a pretty ****ty thing to do and could get her killed, raped, kidnapped, etc.

You know if she is crazy or not in her right mind she could probably arrange for an attack or accident to happen to him with the locals if she was vengeful.

Isn't this the same ***** who was saying how Africa is safer than American cities or some such?

Maybe she's continuing with the Jeep your to track him down and deliver him to the locals.

looks like she didn't provide ass, grass, or gas. Sorry honey, your free ride stops in Rwanda. I hear they have a nice hotel here.

Funny. It went the opposite way for me.


After reading post, along with those horrendous hash tags, and perusing her IG account, I respect the guy for kicking her annoying hipster ass to the curb (or dirt, or whatever the hell Africa has)








seriously, hipsters are the ******* worst.
