Phụ đề (55)

0:00Go in. Gordon,

0:02>> yeah. Go, Greg.

0:04>> Part of electric life.

0:06>> Roger that. Nice one.

0:09When I first arrived here, I thought I

0:12am never going to get my head around the

0:14the geography of this place. It's

0:16generally flat. There are no sort of

0:20features on the horizon like a escarment

0:23or a hill. So your kind of point of

0:26reference is kind of well what what

0:28termite mounds are great features

0:30because they are all subtly different.

0:33Some of them are wildly different but

0:35there's one that looks like the the

0:38sorting hat from Harry Potter. So when I

0:40see that one I know exactly where where

0:42I am. We've created a a map custommade

0:46map. We've superimposed

0:48all of the tracks onto a satellite

0:51image. So each one of these dots and

0:53lines uh is is a a road. Little blue

0:58arrow. That's where I currently am. I

1:02can just set search for Lechway planes

1:04and then that gives me the exact

1:06coordinates. Very complicated, but it's

1:09quite straightforward at the same time.

1:10No, I'm not liking

1:13not liking this one.

1:18The danger with the muddy crossings

1:20versus the sandy crossings is that the

1:22wheels just get gummed up with with mud.

1:25I'm not going to do this. I'm going to

1:27back up. It's always about never

1:31never rushing anything and always

1:34thinking about what could potentially go

1:37wrong. There's I'd say there's more

1:39danger changing a tire out here than

1:41there is from a lion. There could be

1:45hippos. There could be crocodiles and if

1:47you're winging through the water, even

1:49if it's just a couple of feet deep.

1:51Water that's 2 ft deep can hide can't

1:54hide a hippo, but it can hide big

1:56crocodiles. When people think about

1:59coming to the Okavango Delta in a

2:00vehicle that doesn't have any doors or

2:02or windows, and there's so many

2:05predators here, you'd think, "Oh gosh,

2:06that's that must be terrifying. You must

2:09be kind of like moments when you're in

2:11real danger." The most dangerous thing

2:13out here is is me and my judgment. Or

2:17maybe the thing that keeps me safe out

2:19here is me and my judgment.
