How do you square the "three ton death machine" with the whole "recreationally gallivanting across Africa in a Jeep and blogging about it for internet points" thing? Your words say a car usage should be minimized. Your actions say another thing. It comes across a lot like taking your private jet to a climate summit. I'm genuinely curious how you reconcile this apparent conflict.
- jtvjan 4y agoI think that there is less traffic in Africa, and therefore, there is less chance of a dangerous collision.
- woodruffw 4y agoThere are two answers to this: 1. The person you're responding to is clearly aware of the responsibility required when driving a large car (their comment says this explicitly); 2. An outbacking trip through Africa is not meaningfully comparable to daily automotive commuting. It's probably safe to assume that the GP practiced outsized caution, given the logistical and legal complexity of such a trip.
