About Us

Follow me and my sons (Jean & Lian) during our various adventures.

Anything from a weekend break away from the city buzz, overlanding throughout Africa, or even just trying to raise my two boys by cultivating a love for the outdoors. At the same time ensuring that they don’t kill each other on these adventures :-)

Although an adventure is dangerous and wild, it is a deep spiritual craving that is etched into one's soul.

Keep in touch

Earlier this week I found this letter strategicall

Earlier this week I found this letter strategically placed next to my laptop.

My initial impression was that this is some sort of prank, because boys and letters/reading/writing… It is an ongoing struggle, so to find one without any death threats was bizarre, to say the least! 🤔

I could not stop smiling for hours; we all had a good laugh about it, but I realised that I was also that young (a long time ago...) and saw the glitter all my friends received. I also tried all the possible angles and avenues with my parents to open their eyes to all the “wow things” (to me at that age) they were not seeing.

But, I had a tough dad and no one, much less a child, irrespective of the dance he was dancing, would dictate the pace, rhythm or path, other than my dad.

So reading this special note from my eldest and seeing some of my dad in myself and, in turn, some of myself in my son, you've got to love this thing we call Life and the evolution of generations.

Was good having a few cold ones with these guys around a fire in the Tankwa Karoo.

Travelled so many km's with them on the back of bakkies in the days of #willeklong across #southafrica.

Had so much laughs this evening with my oldest practicing welding.

Next round we'll get some tips from uncle @jacques_kamp_kommando and then he needs to plan his first project (something small).

First he will have to draw what he wants to build, buy his own materials (probably for dad's account) and when he is done paint it.

Repeat, repeat...

So awesome to have shared this experience with these two lads.

It felt like weeks ago since the boys and I spend some time alone in nature.

Boys being big fans of @brodiemoss they always admire how he travels with his best mate, his dog @strydamoss.

So I knew the day was coming when they ask that our dogs (Pepsi, Basjan & Antjie) join us on a weekend breakaway.

Keep an eye on our YouTube channel for this adventure, but all I can say it was busy in #TiggerTheCruiser with these 5 🤪.

I can't stop laughing!

Had such an awesome day on the range with all the dads and youngsters.

Hugo brought his .338 Win Mag and I knew I had to get Jean behind it 🤔.

Off course I told him it is a smaller caliber then the .227 he is use to 😜 so he went into it with full confidence. No flinch or trying to compensate for the recoil.

I think his reaction says it all 🤣.

NEW YouTube Video!

My boys (Jean & Lian) and I explore a bush camp in the Koue Bokkeveld region near Op-Die-Berg.

Although weather reports showed that we will have a wet and cold weekend, we were actually blessed with blue, sunny skies. The evenings were definitely chilly, but nothing an open fire and a hot meal in the tummy didn’t sort out.

This episode will give you a short glimpse of this special weekend with my boys.

Sunrise in the #kouebokkeveld.

6:30am the morning and after stepping on/breaking my tyre valve Jean and I had to change wheels in the dark.

A story that will definitely be told around a future campfire.
