TIME TO CHANGE THE WORLD! • They say that when one door closes, another opens. You might not always understand why the first one got slammed in your face, but once you shake it off and start looking around, you will notice a host of different opportunities opening up in front of you. It takes a little persistence and courage, but the rewards of the adventure are well worth it!

You ask - we answer • It happens far too often that I walk into a store, pick up a hand-held spotlight and look at the specs – only to find that one says lumens, another says lux and the last reads something about candle power or candela. What are the key differences and what should I look out for when shopping for suitable lighting solutions for my set-up?

BRAIN POWER • Identify the adventure and 4x4 terminology in the word block. It can appear horizontally, vertically or diagonally and can be in any direction. Diaresis and circumflex are not used, and the words in brackets are part of the words or per explanation.

Gear & gadgets

Reinventing the wheel • Adequate and suitable storage is an integral part of overlanding, and the solution for many is the humble ammo box or wolf pack. However, there are a few issues with the ammo box, and – honestly – it needed a design evolution. Tentco rose to the challenge with its all-new Tentco Box, which we tried and tested.

THE BOLD and the BEAUTIFUL • A nip here and a tuck there have seen the Palisade gain a fresh and modern persona that makes it worthy of its status as Hyunday’s flagship SUV in South Africa.

Like a Bat out of HELL • Meat Loaf’s 1977 hit song could just as well have been written about the new Ford Ranger Raptor. ANTON WILLEMSE SNR insists that this is probably the craziest and most fun vehicle he has ever driven, and that it might be a while before we see anything similar on the roads.

You've been WARNED! • In Issue 25 we met JAN-HARM DU PLESSIS and his family as they shared their epic adventure retracing the route of the Dorslandtrekkers of the 1800s through Namibia. This was not a once-off adventure, though, and the four of them love nothing more than to explore the natural wonders of the African continent. They also have a weird fascination with road signs.

Have Landy, WILL TRAVEL • 100 days. That is how long it took the intrepid team on the Autobarn Chartwell to Chartwell (C2C) mission to cross 23 countries and 22 000km between Chartwell in South Africa and Chartwell in the United Kingdom. Although only three of the seven vehicles made it to the destination, their story is a riveting one.
