Go in. Gordon,
0:02
>> yeah. Go, Greg.
0:04
>> Part of electric life.
0:06
>> Roger that. Nice one.

When I first arrived here, I thought I
0:12
am never going to get my head around the
0:14
the geography of this place. It's
0:16
generally flat. There are no sort of
0:20
features on the horizon like a escarment
0:23
or a hill. So your kind of point of
0:26
reference is kind of well what what
0:28
termite mounds are great features
0:30
because they are all subtly different.
0:33
Some of them are wildly different but
0:35
there's one that looks like the the
0:38
sorting hat from Harry Potter. So when I
0:40
see that one I know exactly where where
0:42
I am. We've created a a map custommade
0:46
map. We've superimposed
0:48
all of the tracks onto a satellite
0:51
image. So each one of these dots and
0:53
lines uh is is a a road. Little blue
0:58
arrow. That's where I currently am. I
1:02
can just set search for Lechway planes
1:04
and then that gives me the exact
1:06
coordinates. Very complicated, but it's
1:09
quite straightforward at the same time.
1:10
No, I'm not liking
1:13
not liking this one.
1:18
The danger with the muddy crossings
1:20
versus the sandy crossings is that the
1:22
wheels just get gummed up with with mud.
1:25
I'm not going to do this. I'm going to
1:27
back up. It's always about never
1:31
never rushing anything and always
1:34
thinking about what could potentially go
1:37
wrong. There's I'd say there's more
1:39
danger changing a tire out here than
1:41
there is from a lion. There could be
1:45
hippos. There could be crocodiles and if
1:47
you're winging through the water, even
1:49
if it's just a couple of feet deep.
1:51
Water that's 2 ft deep can hide can't
1:54
hide a hippo, but it can hide big
1:56
crocodiles. When people think about
1:59
coming to the Okavango Delta in a
2:00
vehicle that doesn't have any doors or
2:02
or windows, and there's so many
2:05
predators here, you'd think, "Oh gosh,
2:06
that's that must be terrifying. You must
2:09
be kind of like moments when you're in
2:11
real danger." The most dangerous thing
2:13
out here is is me and my judgment. Or
2:17
maybe the thing that keeps me safe out
2:19
here is me and my judgment.
