Exploring BAHIA: Hidden Reefs & A Custom Truck Build

Is it safe to walk the streets of Bahia, Brazil? 🇧🇷 We explore the coast, test a custom Osmo Action 5 wind mod, and visit a unique 4x4 truck build. We’re Marc and Vee, and today we’re taking it slow in the Bahia region. We started with a warning from locals about street safety, but decided to explore the local culture and South Atlantic coastline anyway. Along the way, we put our DIY 3D-printed wind protection for the Osmo Action 5 to the ultimate test in the windy coastal conditions. The journey takes us from the natural pools of the South Atlantic to a local industrial unit where Vee’s Auntie is converting a truck into a refrigerated mobile cheese market. We even find time to help with a quick DIY locking mechanism fix for the truck's steps. Stick around to see the incredible Jaua Reef—a natural harbour made of coral and limestone.
