Left Everything Behind for Africa — Here’s Why

I lost my accommodation in London nearly four years ago, a sudden shift that put me directly on the streets for three long years. But thanks to this incredible community, YouTube finally monetized my content at the end of last year. Since then, I’ve been documenting what it’s truly like to live, survive, and travel on a bicycle. Now, I am at the port in Almería, Spain, waiting to board the ferry to begin the African leg of this journey—the Midnight Express Saga. In this video, I’m breaking down the raw reality of my situation, answering the questions I get asked the most, and doing a complete gear layout. From my custom tarp shelter setup and cooking gear to the essential tools keeping my bike moving, this is everything I own to survive a life of long-distance human-powered travel. No scripts, just the real logistical challenges of moving from the UK, through France and Spain, and onto a brand new continent. If you want to catch up on how I got here, check out the full playlists: • Day One of Homeless Winter Survival (UK Series) • The French Connection Series (Calais to Montpellier) • The Spanish Saga (Down to Almería) Thank you all for the incredible support on this journey. Keeping my bike and gear in tip-top shape through catastrophic failures wouldn't be possible without your help. ] PATREON COMMUNITY: [https://www.patreon.com/thatkiwifella...] CHAPTERS: 0:00 Leaving Europe for Africa: The Almería Port 1:13 The Truth About How I Became Homeless in London 3:36 Why I Don't Use an E-Bike or a Trailer 5:16 Raw Gear Layout: Survival & Bushcraft Essentials 7:16 Cooking Setup & Emergency Food Rations 9:04 Stealth Power: My 60W Solar Panel Setup 10:49 Mosquito Defense & Outdoor Medicine 12:30 Packing the Bike: Keeping Under 15 Kilos 13:45 Boarding the Ferry: Next Stop, Africa Raw urban survival, bushcraft, and off-grid living in the UK & France.
