The most important thing is for friends from Indonesia and people from abroad to show friends how rich Indonesia is with the diverse tribes, natural riches and cultural riches that we see. different places, different customs, different ways of receiving. And thank God, one thing that can be felt most is that Indonesian hospitality occurs everywhere... when we come with good intentions, God willing, everything will produce something good. And the most important thing is the value or meaning of this journey, I think it will be a personal note for each person. Maybe there are people who can get it out, express it, or there are people who can feel it even though it can't be expressed in words. But I am sure, God willing, everyone will learn a meaningful lesson from this trip and will appreciate other people, their fellow travelers, and especially the local wisdom of Kalimantan. Coinciding with the anniversary of the 1996 Camel Trophy, we will take a trip down memory lane. Trace the 1996 camel trophy in Kalimantan. Starting from Balikpapan, East Kalimantan via Central Kalimantan and finishing in Pontianak, West Kalimantan. Day 1, April 18, Saturday 2026. Tonight we gather together here. The host was Mr. Burhan as the local host. We are hosted here for dinner together, the purpose of which is actually an ice breaker before we kick off eh start off e off tomorrow morning on Sunday the 19th we gather together to reintroduce each other the teams that will explore Kalimantan, there are the Alfa team, the Bravo team, the Charlie team and also the Delta team, continuing from here to KM53. Well, appreciate the existing camel trophy. We know that the camel trophy no longer exists. We also can't afford to make camel trophies. What we are doing is a tribute to camel trophy. And this tribute to camel trophy event is the only event in the world that recaptures the camel trophy track. Four camel trophy trails in Indonesia. Applause for Indonesia. The purpose of the briefing is to consolidate the lessons we learned the previous day, we try to review them and convey them, it is a safety reminder. Safety is very important. Likewise, our concern for the environment. The rest is technical. Technical problems can be solved together, can be handled together. Then, if there are certain hazards, there are certain areas that require attention regarding participant safety, we remind you about vehicle safety . we gather, we thank all that ee Allah has given us in the form of that dance. It is a form of our gratitude to the earth, to our entire environment so that whatever this journey takes place, it will be beneficial for the people around us, for our environment. We are preparing for the farewell ceremony. This morning we left here. Hey we split into two big groups because one car was still on the ship. So we agreed to return to board 1 and leave this morning. according to our plan, there are 24 cars that we will release from the Horizon Ultimate Airport this morning. After that, the other friends from the first group will go straight to the KM53 basecamp. Well, the second base, after they have filled up their logistics, refueled and all that, in the afternoon or evening they immediately follow the group behind the other board. Yes, sir. Success. Healthy spirit. Carry on. Today the Kalimantan Tribute group departed from Balikpapan heading to Karangau Harbor. At this port we will cross to Penajam and then from Penajam we will continue our journey to the KM 53 basecamp in Sotek. This spot is also a gathering point for the Bravo team vehicles . This Bravo Team experienced a delay in delivering vehicles to their ship, so when we started earlier, their cars had not arrived yet. So it looks like they will start their journey tonight from Balikpapan. we are at camp KM 53 in Sotek. This used to be, there was still a wood camp there. there in the place where people pull wood and this is legal, this is the HPH area Congratulations friends, you have passed special task 1, all the material except winching, which we haven't gone through yet. So surely everyone is asking, "So what are you going to do today?" Today, please note the journey from Balikpapan to KM 53, basecamp 53. What problems did the car have? Get it all done today here. Tonight we are still camping. If you read the run-down, it's true that we'll be camping here. Later everyone, friends, tomorrow morning we will leave for Mancong. But we will have a social service in Bongan. Well, the estimate for getting to the Bongan intersection is if our luck is good, it will take 1 day and one night or if the rain comes happily, maybe it will take us 2 days or 3 days to get there. So we just enjoy it and let Allah give us all the blessings, we just have to be grateful whatever the situation. Nobody was walking around, everyone was in tents. Hey, I want to keep asking, where is Mas Gembil? This is me a person who needs someone who is successful, a mother we need to know how healthy the winch is, friends? like that. So that when we want to enter difficult terrain, we know whether the position of our winch is actually not good or is in good condition? So if there is a route to choose, we will definitely choose the route that suits the condition of our vehicle. Today we are traveling to Simpang Bongan. Bongan intersection is the intersection where we go straight towards Mancong. to the left there is Kampung Daya. We want to do community service first. We want to do charity first in Kampung Daya. What's interesting is that when we first started from Balikpapan to Lemper Village, it really drained our energy to the point that we were overwhelmed. No, Zul. Overwhelmed. with yes, it was said that I wanted to give up but it was fun, that's what I think is the most ee tiring and of all the series, in my opinion, that track is the most interesting, sotek, km 53, well, it was indeed a series of obstacles that we were faced with quite interesting to the point where there were additional ones, right? I'm waiting for this... waiting for there to be another track like this, which is even more difficult. Well, it's like that, like a long mud walk. Many trees fell and there were also broken bridges, you know. Yes, Freelander repairs, it will be finished in 15 minutes . This is just one of the typical days in tribute eh activities, in this case, Kalimantan tribute we have one of the vehicles that broke down eh there's no spare part but everybody chips in trying to be creative and resolve the situation and as you notice no one left behind no matter how difficult you are in the middle of nowhere but no man is left behind. We work together, we put our hands together to help out each other. So, this is just another typical day in Kalimantan Tribute. Don't know how hard the work is, but others just comment comment comment. Commentators are necessary, right? God willing, we'll be rolling in 2 minutes. We're rolling in 2 minutes. Following Bang Fion's position On that path we have many obstacles, several hurdles. The path is a long muddy path, there is cooperation to build a broken bridge too. Yes, there is quite a lot of variation on that route. Not only mud but also demands our cooperation with the team. simple, not too heavy. But if we take it in a hurry, the recovery equipment is not ready, or we take it when crossing a bridge that we have to build ourselves, we don't take it properly. For example, when we install a bridge, assemble a bridge, we pass over it with traction, then the bridge we pass over will definitely be damaged and finally the front or rear wheels will go in. We are really tested not only by the vehicle's capabilities, but the team's capabilities must be truly solid and compact. You can see behind us, we've got a big obstacle. So, we have logs to bridge a gap to get over and we have to work as a team all of us. Every vehicle, every person comes together. We have to cut big pieces of wood. We have to move pieces of wood. When I say wood, I mean trunks of trees. We got to strap them together. And then we've got a team of an anchor point with the vehicle to ensure we have a safe spot for them to winch the vehicle over and then plenty of spotters to make sure the vehicle doesn't tip on either side or tip over. So teamwork makes the dream work. Without everybody participating, we're stuck here forever. Well, there was a slight obstacle earlier, the previous handicap was a wooden bridge. Yes Only the wood is rotten and the bridge is broken. So, the car of our friends in front tried to make a temporary bridge, but it seemed like it was still unstable and the bridge collapsed again, so they had to use a winch. Well, we just tried to tidy up the bridge again so that now it can run more smoothly. There is a negative obstacle on this bridge and the bridge is a bit fragile. So there are lots of wooden structures, then the one on the right is a bit landslide. So we were each backed up by one car from the leader. We are working hand in hand. No man left behind. once in our expedition this time I saw that the teamwork was very good. Teamwork between good participants like we have known for a long time is a good thing. Which way is left? Where was that? Well, this is the small one, lift it first. Okay, come on 1 2 3 the small one is strong enough, okay? It's a source of pride, an honor, a very positive euphoria, because we meet many friends from many countries. from the Netherlands, from Germany, from France, America, Malaysia, Bung Nash who is always happy. Then also from Japan, Yoshi, right. Well, here we also met friends from Sabang to Merauke. Participants came from Pekanbaru, West Sumatra, DKI and so on. Including me being able to meet Mr. Pon from East Kalimantan . It's truly amazing that we can play together, go on expeditions together with all kinds of togetherness. Off the rambutan tree. Om Matu monitor don't go up that wood yet. complicated first. I want to tie the wood first. Okay, help traction, help wheels., HELP WHEELS! what was it before Is? Area.. back area The area that was running earlier, do you want to use PTO? We thought the land was similar, almost similar to Sumatra, but it turned out to be very different and there had to be a special trick to overcome the existing obstacles, and then again, just two, two, can be in front and keep rolling. Okay, good. Keep looking good. Okay, hold on, hold on. Okay, clear all straps are removed. Emotions sometimes explode but are suddenly suppressed again by the excitement of the journey. I think that if my friends ask me where, where is the good thing, where is the favorite thing, for me they all like it... this trip is so classic, right? If you say we are carrying the Camel Trophy... we are proud. Let's get ready to roll forward. It's already 8:00 AM. Looking forward to the next briefing. Briefing. Briefing. Please move closer to the front. For now we will continue with the obstacles ahead. Cheerful, together, we maintain our unity for today. So thank you and the briefing will be carried out in the future. Driver or co- driver, please move closer to the front. Thank You. Maybe also friends in the audience. Good morning. Asalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Thank God, until today we have been able to move approximately 20 km from our starting point. We still have to move about 9 km. Maybe Mr. Sam is already ahead of us, ee, about 3 or 4 km. Thus, Om BK and his support colleagues are already on standby at the 88 intersection. Our target today is the 88 intersection. Hopefully, it can be achieved today so that all planned activities can proceed smoothly. Thank you guys. I like the track. There are those who pass through mud, there are those who pass through bridges that don't actually have bridges. We make new ones. Then we crossed the river. Then from the river we climbed quite high. So it's really amazing. One incredible, extraordinary and extraordinary journey. The first water we passed through, mud, it seemed normal, but it turned out to be a trap. It's nice to try crossing one first and then continue. Yes. Keep going, keep going. Winch! left left left continuously. Okay, sir. left right . Nature teaches us many things, doesn't it? Testing ourselves, our team, the whole thing on how we can consistently navigate through the onslaught. There are several TRTKs that are dusty, raining heavily, and there are no lights at night. The position is to look for a river, to bathe. Oh yes, when I was bitten by the big black ant, at that time my friends were in the area going down the hill, there was a bridge, turn right. Our train has a little problem because we have had many obstacles since the beginning yesterday and today, so we have always played with the clutch so what is the name of the lining clutch that has run out so we have been stuck here since what time Fik, it was 3:30 until now, ee, that afternoon, we as a team had decided to camp, we had already unloaded our things, we had already taken off our clothes, suddenly there was the sound of an engine coming from behind.. my heart was like oh, relieved, there are people, there are people.. suddenly ee the wait ee Om Fion e Datuk Denal Pampin and Om Windu came, wah, rescue us. Wow. So I think that's very touching for me. But that's how it's connected, when it was pulled, wow, that was a memory that will probably be engraved in my mind forever. move forward. Pull the feeling of interest and increase it, keep speeding up, keep chasing ahead, we pull him uphill, give him upward momentum, he keeps adding more and more power, then okay, good, when we are pulled by the two cars at a speed that is not slow but at a rather fast speed. So it does require a lot of experience to make that kind of attraction. Omi is just passing through. Ready ready ready ready. Safe, safe, safe, friends, this is Bongan Village. This village is a location where we carry out activities together with the community here in Lemper Village, Deraya and ee Tanjung Soke there. ee our activity is not a donation activity, but this is a togetherness activity where we come here to play together as seen behind us there is also ee what is it called discussion, aspirations and all kinds of things with ee school children they can talk about anything, ask anything. Likewise with us. Because what we see here is equality that Indonesia is cool and there is no such thing as people inside and outside. I think everyone has the same rights. It's just a coincidence that they ee Access is still a bit difficult here. But anyway, I think this is what we should be grateful for, that with in a place with a location like this, their enthusiasm remains great for our children, we see that they are very enthusiastic about the activities when we come here. E and the most important thing is that they feel appreciated that this place is a place that is worthy and worth visiting. Oh, it's so nice to meet foreigners from Japan, America and from Malaysia and France. Yes, from France. Oh, I'm good. Thank you Kalimantan Tribute. Bye. Morning. We are now in an Indonesian school, meeting girls and boys from the school. It's a beautiful welcome from them, they love people, they love France, they love Indonesia. It's a pleasure to meet them. Thank you so much. I thought it wasn't alive yet. Mostly on road, dusty maybe, it's only about 50 to 60 km. Along the way, we only passed through villages, loose convoy but forming our own groups. This means that everything is under the control of the team commander. So the most challenging moment for Melehoy's team was when they were left behind in the forest. So when on the track it is already arranged Alfa, Bravo, Charlie. It turns out that Charlie was separated. So, Charlie's three cars in front were distracted by the Bravo group and several of the Delta group went to the front so Charlie got separated. One of our winches on Alexandra's car suffered fatal damage, the axle broke and we couldn't use it at all. Ee for that reason I decided to add one more night to be in the forest location with the condition of clean water that was starting to run low. This road is a bit Oh Be sure that if our hearts, our intentions are good, for the good of everyone, the one above will not be silent. That's it. It just depends on how we build good relationships and make this team cohesive. Because it's a shame, don't lose twice. We've run out of so much money, it's so difficult for us to not even make more friends, you know. So we do no behind, but there is a way for everything. Is n't it true that if you're in high school you have to go to Tanjung Isui for middle school? I don't know, maybe some of us will want this or something. Please go ahead please. Okay, that's our activity until 11.00 later. Well, at 11.00 we finished our activities there. At 15.00 we have a ceremony here, a guest reception ceremony. Even though we have already entered unofficially, we want to be accepted according to tradition and be well received here. Thank God. Where is Mr. Basri? Thank you very much Mr. Basri for providing this place for us to come to. The house that was built approximately 100 years ago is still well maintained today. the culture is still preserved, the nature is still preserved, and the environment is still preserved. Hey, what are the names of statues? Those statues that were carved by previous people. We were all welcomed with a traditional ceremony that afternoon. Eh, everyone lined up neatly there and was greeted by the traditional leader. There's not a line there, there's a string in the shape of a flower. He just said something like this, more or less "Those with good intentions, please come in, those with good intentions, those with bad intentions, please leave." Hmm. Guests from Kalimantan Tribute. Is it good news, bad news? I'm well. Please come in. Bad news comes home. I'm well!!! Symbolically, the traditional leader gave us clean white plates and we were led into the big house. We have just finished the welcoming ceremony and earlier we had a welcoming ceremony and then we continued with some dances. If we look at the dances presented earlier, they show the cultural life of the Dayak Benuaq people. So we saw earlier there was a rice dance like that, right? Then there's the thing about hunting chopsticks. We tried the chopsticks and friendship dance right away. So it is explained that we give fertilizer, it is given fertilizer and then we are also supposed to give fertilizer to the person giving the fertilizer. So, it's both cooling down as explained earlier by Mr. Chairman Mancong. Our aim in coming here is also to inspire our children so that they can study harder and be more enthusiastic in achieving their dreams. Lamin Mancong section towards Muara Teweh, on the last night at Lamin Mancong I saw several groups going ahead of the time determined to leave in the morning, we were traveling in four vehicles. One of our vehicles, Alexandra, had an accident and entered a fairly deep ditch. Cantol.. behind Cantol about 20 to 30 degrees. You can't go back, you can't go forward because it's already destroyed and it's into a ditch made of concrete. So our left body is completely destroyed. We were just following the map directions. Yes, maps. Maps. Yes, this map is that, if this can be done, this can be done but I'm afraid of getting lost because later all the palm oil plantations in there, the roads won't be all cement. There is no sand or stone. Okay. The possibility is passing. Oh. Okay. Not far. Not that long ago. Not far. Not far. we cross the equator, from east to west. Then, from the start of Balikpapan, we were presented with very extreme weather. East Kalimantan is back again full in Central Kalimantan. Sorry, Uncle. It's so hot that I have to take off my clothes, Uncle. Because I'm from Bandung, I always complain when it's hot in Jakarta. But Kalimantan is crazy hot, crazy with the heat of the train engine with us driving warmly. So sweating is always sweating. The longer it goes on, the more sour it smells. For me, it's the weather, because the air in our area is the same. The air is cool, I've never seen weather like this before. Like this. So wow that's scary. even using an extra fan, but the humidity in Kalimantan is extraordinary. So it's almost impossible I think there are participants who are close by who don't sweat I ring there's one moment got a bit overwhelmed with the heat and but the team came together gave me a little bit of rest and then after I got my breath back, we continued the most extreme is the weather and it was so hot in terms of one person, one sun until it was black so it became this sweet black. Well, then the most extreme thing is that our bees have a track like that. Automatically we got out of the car. This sting is called a lot of bee stings. Although yes, the ferocity of Medan is truly unpredictable. Eh, I myself, while we were in the forest, I was stung by a wasp maybe three times, not to mention the others. But that's it, we're just happy, we bathe in mud, we don't have time to shower, we just go straight to sleep. But happy everyone is happy. We arrived at Muara Teweh at about noon. Perfect before lunch time. We see a Padang restaurant on the left side of the road. Finally we eat there. Just got out of the car and then went in and wanted to order the man, who is about 50 years old. Immediately said, "This is the camel trophy, right?" Then we are confused about how to know. They used to pass by here, back in the day when I was still in high school, that's what he said. Then, yeah, while we were chatting, he also said that his car at that time was like this and it happened that Mr. Gembil's car was there if I'm not mistaken and his car was a Discovery. So yeah he pointed to the car, it was exactly this car that I saw at that time. Hey, I remember that time, they came like this in a crowd and then stopped at our restaurant here to eat Hey, they ate fried chicken at that time, there were foreigners. all. I was in high school in 96. I forgot how old it was. Class 1, or class 2, but I don't know how many cars there are. But the color is like this. I don't know. Yes That night I had the chance to go to the airport. They stayed overnight at the airport to set up a camp because they enjoyed looking at cars, they enjoyed seeing things like this. Arrived at Muara Teweh yesterday and we spent the night in hotel wallet. Why hotel wallet? Because it is a historical hotel for the camel trophy in Kalimantan 1996. Amazing. Extraordinary. Yes Eh, I think Muara Teweh is a pretty legendary place for the 96 camel trophy. Ee because after a few days they were on the journey and we experienced that it was a pretty tough journey even though they must have been tougher. After we left East Kalimantan, we entered Central Kalimantan, almost on the sixth or seventh day, if I'm not mistaken, we entered Muara Teweh. And why is Muara Teweh so legendary? Because Muara Teweh is an old city from the Dutch era. It was already famous for its plantations and was a remote area of the Dutch at that time. Then Muara Teweh is where they rest and they reload there. So, if we talk about hotels, there is the Wallet Hotel. Some of my friends stayed at the Wallet Hotel, and from several people who witnessed the Camel Trophy 96 event, their firm did stay there. And if we talk about airports in Muara Teweh, there are two airports now. There is an airport that is now in the middle of the city, yesterday we went in there and took photos together. That was the old airport and the airport was used as a supply point for the camel trophy helicopter. They also used Airfast at that time if I'm not mistaken. Then why is there someone on standby there? Because that's why it's become their logistics location. Their logistics place and the place where ee journalists exchange, journalists who enter. Usually they exchange it 3 to 4 days after that they exchange it like that. So Muara Teweh became his first base after Balikpapan. Greetings from the Kalimantan Tribute Offroad. From the Teweh estuary. Our goal was actually to find a base camp that was a former logging camp. that's the position in Bekanon. And to get there, we have to cross the Barito River which is very wide and if I'm not mistaken, it is located at Muara Untu after Puruk Cahu. Well, there we got on the pontoon. The pontoon is still made of wood and not all participants cross at the same point because there are several crossing points. And some of us also crossed it at different times because we actually arrived there at different times and at different points. Night conditions... I know because the Bravo team in front, especially Uncle Nchex, it seems like they turned onto a route they should n't have. That's what I remember. Then we also followed from behind. Behind him was also followed by Mr. Sam's team. Okay, finally two cars. My car and Omatu's car entered the proper lane. We think the path will be better than the initial path. It turned out that when we got down, it was raining a bit and when we got there we heard the radio communication and it turned out that the freelancer team was already in front of us . Looks like they're facing some difficulties on the road ahead. But it seemed that night Omatu and I had no choice, we just tried to get in because that was the official route that we accepted. Just entering the first descent, the car suddenly plunged to the right. Hey, it just so happened that my car was behind it and I couldn't ask the other cars for help. Finally we tried to evacuate the car, pull it back and finally thank God we could continue forward to Pundu. just pundu we need approximately 250 km. 250 is almost around 200 250 km and that is an offroad track. what's it like ? It's the same, go down, go up, turn left and right like that. Ee after that, maybe if we don't linger too long on the Tumbang Anoi ee Damang Batu and Tumbang Samba routes, we will enter the ee camel trophy route again at ee Parang Geang. From Pundu Parang Geeang enter Rantau Pulut. Rantau pulut exits at Lamandau, Kujan... it's a 2-day route, the route is a mix of palm oil plantations, ee HTI, we exit Lamanda, after that we go to Pakit Selaba. Okay, that's the story of the next 2, 3 or 4, 5 days. Offroad greetings Kalimantan Tribute. He. wedding Okay, good morning guys. Today we are in the yard of the Gunung Mas Police Station . Yesterday afternoon we came in here. Oh, thank God, the welcome from our friends at the Gunung Mas Police, Central Kalimantan Regional Police, was extraordinary. Thank you to Bang Leo, the Chief of Police, the Deputy Chief of Police, and all the staff who are here today and since yesterday we have been treated to food, entertainment and all kinds of delicious places. Today we will go to Tumbang Anoi, eh, a historical place, eh, the point there where the Tumbang Anoi agreement was made in 1894. We will go there. This route is the same as the camel trophy route, but the camel trophy doesn't enter the Tumbang Anoi, we raise it a little. We entered Tumbang Anoi and then we returned to the route to Tumbang Samba, because we saw that there was extraordinary potential there. There is an extraordinary history about Tumbang Anoi in 1894 which opened the way for all expeditions to take place from 1896 onwards. So once again thank you, friends, Gunung Mas Police, Central Kalimantan Police, Bang Leo and all his friends. Hey, thank God, all the participants have joined again after we were separated for several days . Today we all join. Bismillah. Thank God, God willing, we will leave again at 09.00 this time to go to Tumbang Anoi so we wish us a safe view. And then Bukau Hill can't be found on that trail in Malaysia. Only in Kalimantan I think you can find hills like that. But what is really hard is when you go from the east into the middle into the west, completely in Central Kalimantan, the climbing is crazy. Days and days through paved roads highways highways and offroad. And I mean even on road here in Indonesia is some of the roughest offroading I've ever done. Zaire was tortured there but he was able to. Yes. So my favorite part was the one when we drove during uh the red dirt areas to go through the palm plantage and come to this hauling road. This was one of the original camel uh tracks and I like this very much with these wooden bridges with the dirt and sometimes a little bit of mud. That was real nice and also impressive from the surroundings. If you look from this palm area, the Tumbang Anoe has its own uniqueness where the place was a historical place in 1894. There was an agreement Tumbang Anoy Tumbang Anoy Village on the banks of the Kahayan River. This is the third village at the very end of the Kahayan River. This village is very monumental because before the Tumbang Anoi agreement in 1894, conditions between the Dayak people were not always harmonious. So there is conflict, there is opposition. One of them is headhunting. In the past, our great-grandfather, Pak Damang Batu, was able to gather people from all over Kalimantan, all over the land of Borneo, to gather with each tribal chief to make a peace agreement. So, what they discussed in the meeting were decisions about how Dayak people live in a civilized manner. the rules are set there. Rules about how he was born, how he got married, how he died, what if he cheated, and so on. Only one of the most important is to stop e slavery. That was what happened before 1894. Because in the past, it was said that we could buy slaves and work at the place of the person who bought them. [ mantra] SD Tumbang Anoi This is really cool, ee, the event we mean is the event that we did there where we mingled directly and all of that was spontaneous, both from the participants and also from the children, including the teachers. So it's amazing that we really interact sincerely, sincerely. We can feel all the joy of the children. Likewise, vice versa. From my side, I can say I came with really high expectations, but uh it was more than fulfilled. This was a fantastic experience and not only my expectations were fulfilled, it was like finding a new family. The group was growing together and that's to me the most important part. For example, if there is an arrow on the right, it means we enter on the right side. If there is a left arrow, our path is on the left side. But still look at the position of other vehicles in front. If they signal to the left, it means we will take the position on their left side. So there was an accident, Uncle Bule's car caught fire. My soulmate, how come I was alone at that time, while I was following the tribute from the Sumatra survey, from the first survey, the second, eh, after that, I followed Borneo, followed Sulawesi and this is the fourth, this is what happened, right? At that time, they entered the Tumbang Anoi - Damang Batu route, it was already afternoon, it was already 17.00. Actually, they entered there and at that time it was raining.. the rain was drizzling, even though it was drizzling, it made it slippery so that right in the Bukit Keramat 2 area, the vehicle overturned but leaned because there was a fairly large water flow at that time. Well, after that the car is standing up, try to start it. The car started, but it turned out there was petrol spilling from the reserve tank under the seat. Well, at that time, the passenger who was driving and the co-driver were shocked and jumped out of the car and the handbrake wasn't locked properly. The car rolled in a state of fire. Well, keep going down. Because at that time the position was downhill, crashing into the cliff of the road embankment. There is also a garden in front of it. The car was upside down on its side right on the edge of the road and there was fuel and all sorts of things. so yeah it happened. Oh well, I can't do anything about the fire incident yesterday. I've tried my best to put out the fire. But yeah, that's enough, I don't have APAR anymore. It's finished. I could only watch as Broken White burned before my very eyes. Thank God no one was injured at that time. There is no harm to anyone else either. it didn't block the road, it didn't damage the garden, but the car did catch fire and I think I'm very grateful to my foreign friends at that time, there was Bembeng, there was Angrid, and there were also several friends who were also riding in tandem with the car at that time. They were still able to save one item that we think is the most valuable, yes, because it is our inscription to be handed over to the Equator Museum. And thank God the item was clean and not damaged at all. We successfully handed it over to the Pontianak city government to be placed in the Equator Monument Museum. We 've filled up with petrol, we'll fill up with fuel. We also know that the gas station is quite far from here, there are 16 kilos. But it's okay. As we were told when we arrived here, we have 24 hours to prepare everything . Well, why do we have to sweep everything? As an event director, I need to know whether it is really clean or not. We deliberately took the last position so that we could gather all our friends . We will meet later at the landing. We hope that maybe later because we haven't had breakfast or our stomachs are still empty, hopefully in the yard there will be some people starting to cook, stalls and all sorts of things. While we wait for those who have passed to reach the platform or some other point to be able to approach us. Why do we have to get together? We will gather together, especially the owners, drivers, and co-drivers, to chat. We will enter the Rantau Pulut route or we will take the black route. That's what we'll talk about later. Uncle Nchex, I'd like to have a slightly different style this morning because we're sweeping. We are sweeping, as soon as we see some vehicles, let me know.. I will be in the back marker position, I will be okay on the left, Yon on the right, I will stop. I'll tell them I'll grab them to pull forward. So not too loud so we can see who our friends are who are still on this path to the platform. Okay thanks. We had a morning briefing at the black road intersection at that time. There, the event director had already decided that he had decided that all participants would have to go through the black route until maybe continuing down to Palangkarya and entering Pontianak, right? Finally, at the morning briefing, Om Dedi Utama, as the initiator, said that it was permitted for several cars with terms and conditions applying. But I feel like this is your choice, bro. This means that we are asking the committee whether we who decide to enter can be given permission, bro? to the proper route that is on the GPX, which is what I know is the legendary route for the Camel Trophy back in 1996 . Even though we know that the route is no longer original. I represent Delta. The decision to enter or not is that I have to know first whether we have the real route that was carried out in '96 or not? The survey we conducted with Rian along the route showed many changes because this is not a national road, nor is it a provincial road, so it will not change. Inside this path is a garden path, has gardens and HTI. And the dynamics are very high, as we experienced in Simpang Kalteng, that's one plantation, the plantation owners, when they change it, they have a CPO factory inside, the main road changes like that . So that's all I can say. But if we say we have the real path, most of that path has changed. But if you swipe left, swipe right, yes. But shifting just 100 m has many consequences. Because when talking about palm oil plantations, they definitely only have one or two doors that people can enter and exit. They rarely have a connection to the village or anywhere else. With that time in mind, Om Fion finally allowed me to be the event director because of his concern for everyone's safety. Some vehicles that want to enter are allowed to enter but I will re-scrutinize them. This means that today's decision is for friends who do not enter, we enter the black line and continue there. Then for friends who will enter, we are on standby, here we are re-scrutineering. I checked everything thoroughly. But if there are less than three cars, I won't let them in . the point is to enter and finally there will be seven cars that will enter one stuck... the point is seven enter and seven exit, if in the middle of the journey there will be a problem, one car will immediately look for an evacuation route and exit from that route. These six vehicles entered, all six had to leave, none were left behind. repairing all kinds of obstacles inside. Face it together. No one suddenly ran away first, no one suddenly stayed behind, just repairs. No. I want all six meetings to move together. From the narrative in front of me, the premise is that I feel that this path will be very difficult, but it turns out that it is because, coincidentally, I can say that our seniors also chose the black path rather than that path. But now I just want to know, don't hesitate to come in and check, please do. Among us, there are eight out of 10, so eight. Yes, if you look at it from the start, but I'm not there to try, I actually feel challenged, yes, I want to try, whether I like it or not, what's clear is that we've agreed because after the short morning briefing with Uncle Fion, Uncle Dedi and my friends also talked about it, we have to set a strategy, Uncle Dedi happened to be in front and I was the sweeper behind. Thankfully, it turned out that the route had a really great view. we passed through the forests with seven vehicles to the route that we entered yesterday, which was in Pundu . Well, at Pundu intersection of the courtyard. After that, we went out to the Pundu area . Pundu area. Ah, if we get rain inside, that's a different story. It's not certain that we can go out in 3 days, but thank God we can do it in 2 days. Thank God, I was able to do it in 2 days. Why? There are lots of high red earth climbs, right? When it rains, the high red soil slope is definitely a different story. Crossing the river again with a pontoon at night in the village of Sukamandang . Because that night we had to spend the night in the Sukamandang area, we were still on schedule, yes, it was still the second one, ee I felt from there and we continued until we reached Uncle JP's place, I think if it rained and all the cars went in there, maybe my estimate because even the road there was normal was 2 days and 1 night, the next night I arrived at Uncle JP's basecamp. I think the event director's decision that morning was quite, quite right. Because if all the cars go in there, I think I'll estimate and given the rain, it will probably take 3 =-4 days before they can get out. That's it. We just entered the dirt track. in Waringi City. The weather conditions now are light rain, it will be really heavy at night. That's why it's a bit slippery But hopefully it will bring blessings. Greetings and greetings are always extended to our lord the Great Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam. I was invited to the hills as far as the eye could see. Last year when I came here, they had just been planted and were still small. Now it's visible. Good morning. Asalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. May the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be with you too. Thank God we have arrived in Pakit Selaba. Everyone was full, entertained, and had gathered again, except for Yopi behind us, still at Bun's base. Then there is Adhie Melehoy, if I'm not mistaken, it has passed Tayan too. Okay, guys. In the next 2 or 3 days we will chase Tayan. Tayan was our last base for the final regrouping. So if we are now on the 4th, 5th, 6th,... 6 pm we will have entered Tayan. So we will be going along 300, almost 450 km, we will be flying camp. And as a note, we did not enter Bukit Batu Daya. We didn't enter Bukit Batu Daya. Why? Because there is a plantation project there. So I think ee we avoid other problems. So if friends want to take a photo of Bukit Batu Daya, Rian thinks that it can probably be seen from the main road. But I think there will be someone who can represent me later. The point is, we have to be careful about the journey we have been on for 16 days. Now is the time for us to be on guard. Don't let unimportant things happen. Although there are important things, there is something more important, namely the safety and well-being of all of us. Agreed, right? Agreed. Okay. Left, follow my path behind, okay? This is me gasping the terin things and all sorts of friends can be again with Rian. That's Rian in the vehicle. Yes, now we've arrived at what village, bro? Terusan Village. Terusan Village. Our target is to catch up with the tail in ee already positioned in Tumbang Titi. According to information from local residents, the normal journey time is approximately 6 hours. Well, we will try later to keep pushing forward until here, how can we rest later, if we can still continue, we will keep pushing until we fall down, the wound is a bit wider, the red marks are there. his. So we gave antibiotics, we gave antibiotics on the morning of the 7th. We moved to Singkawang, we went to Pasir Panjang Beach. Remember, no one should go to Gosong Beach. We didn't go to Gosong Beach. He. H So it was raining heavily and my wipers were dead. Well, when the wiper died, that's what became the story, who knows where the idea came from, suddenly the wiper was combined with rubber. Finally, on the way while it was raining, while walking and also sitting in the back while moving the wiper. The was hot and also cold when it was raining. But that's part of the journey with uh muds and uh driving with no wipers because it failed. That was a good souvenir. It was in the car when we first entered the ground that someone said on the radio, "It's raining, it's raining. Let's go in for a bit of extreme fun." This is just the first land entry after asphalt. And it turns out that nature might welcome it too. And it turned out to be true that from the clouds it became heavy rain. After that we found a handicap bridge that only had wood on one side. It's impossible for us and the expanse is quite large. There's no way we're going to cut down any more trees or anything like that . There is a side of the bridge that we think we can still cross, even though in the middle there is a piece of wood, a large piece of wood that we probably won't be able to lift. Yes, the position is very difficult. Also, the winch's capacity is limited due to its weight and handicap, so we help with additional cars from behind us to help evacuate from here. in front of us the obstacle is quite heavy because the car is facing an extraordinarily large block. Well, now we try to lift three cars, four cars, even we want to know the first obstacle. Hopefully we'll finish it so we can continue. Pull first, pull first, pull first. yeah [ music] Watch out watch out left Mr. Johan at that time, Mr. Johan, yes, wanted his car, there was a little trouble. I also had vehicle trouble because I saw that the track ahead was quite difficult and quite long. I don't know what happened when I had already crossed the river and reached the ridge, the clutch plate broke. We decided to come back again. So the decision was that Pak Johan had to go back. The consequence of him having to turn back is that we have to cross him with a worn out clutch plate in the same river with the same handicap. We'll come back and help again. Including the team from behind who haven't crossed yet. My KT21 car can still run without a clutch, engage gear, start and go about 65 km. Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry. We're going to Mr. Johan's first, okay? Pak Latief monitors everywhere. again this car has a problem so the ACE pump for the car's stabilizer oil pump burned because the position of the shock for the stabilizer was leaking. So the oil kept coming out and we didn't notice.. finally the pump failed and caught fire.. today we will go to Bukit Batu Daya. This Batu Daya Hill is a very special place. Why is it so special? Because in the Camel trophy video there are still image clips that also say that they passed Batu Daya Hill. So that our journey is valid. We are on the original 1996 camel trophy track. The convoy passed under the shadow of Gunung Batu Daya, a 2000 foot high volcanic limestone plug which rises dramatically from the flat landscape. A significant moment, it meant they were getting close to their destination. The plan was that we would have a convoy passing through Batu Daya Hill and take pictures like what the 1996 Camel Trophy did. [music ] [ music] Eh, why did we only hold a special task at the 2026 Kalimantan Tribute? One is actually more about our limited time for the EE implementation in the previous year. Then secondly, we want this special task not to be competition material, but more to make ourselves aware that we cannot do it alone. in the game task ee all the games, all ee the rules are the rules ee togetherness and we talk about no man left behind all sorts of things that we do there so that ee everyone feels that in that part of the activity everyone has a role whether the person is in the car, the person outside, whether it is a car with ee big power or a car with ee all the handicaps all play a role and ee everyone ee must do something, do the special task together and finally what is formed is ee teamwork where their target is to complete eh challenge or special task that we have that some are faster ee some are slower ee some get penalized and all sorts of things are part of the dynamics of the activity and thank God ee competition is definitely there. But the most encouraging thing is that the competition has become an exciting game. I think that's what we feel. That's why we don't mention that it's something that we really have to do, we make this part of the activity. Almost the same actually as throughout the journey is the real special task. so that in the final series of the Kalimantan Tribute, ee, it turns out that the game also became a factor ee, ee, where the bonding between all the participants, even ee, between the groups, also became very close. From the beginning we thought that ee initially had feelings of hurt. Why is it that four times the Camel Trophy was held in Indonesia, there were no Indonesians participating? But finally we know, finally we know after communication and ee information that we got from ee friends who were once the organizers, oh it turns out there are rules that are not made up rules, but indeed between the organizers and vehicle providers at that time ee especially the organizers and vehicle providers only in places where they have distributors ee agents. So yes, we don't need to be hurt. we only see that but at least there are four places that still exist in Indonesia and that is what inspires us actually. Our friend Om Saiful reminded us that 2020 is the 40th anniversary of the Camel trophy. Then Uncle Tandon also said, "Come on, bro, let's make it again." Chatting with Bang Fion and then what? Like come on, bro, let's just make it. Why not? like that. We Land Rover kids are just holding a Land Rover event for what? It's not just about making a tribute, a tribute to a legendary event that we're all proud of, that sounds like a lot of fun. Moreover, in Indonesia, it was made up to four times. The first thing that came out when we were discussing was fear. I'm afraid that our event will be like betraying the original camel trophy. At first, this was something that was quite scary, wasn't it? But it makes you ask yourself whether it's possible or not? And there is ee we got information that the organization where the chemotropism training took place, especially after the first 5 years in England, was indeed a really solid organization, yes. And the people are also real people who have experience and have been trained for these things. Well, in Indonesia we don't have that. What we could do at that time was to hold several meetings, such as briefings, online, using Zoom. In our Zoom meeting, we will learn what the Camel trophy is like. So from the reference, it happened that at that time we were in the internet era, finally we almost got all the data, even though it was bit by bit, with Tandon inside and having connections outside and it also turned out that they were participants and also the ee committee in the Camel trophy. Finally we have complete e all references and in this case maybe a little knowledge of how to organize and so on. I just remembered that I have a good friend . He was also a participant in the Camel Trophy, although he didn't participate in the Indonesian one. He followed Madagascar but he also so what's his name? Official for Camel trophy and other Camel trophies. After that, I told Bang Fong, "Bang, this has a friend of mine named Toshi, what is he like and so on." Finally, okay, let's chat and if necessary, let's make him a mentor. Is what we're going to do e going to be similar to the Camel trophy? Because our goal is not to become a Camel trophy. We will never be able to. But we want to know how to make this event feel as close as possible to the Camel trophy in terms of personnel from our friends who are members of SandGlow Indonesia, we have the same dream. In fact, I'm sure all of our fellow Land Rover fans know that the Camel trophy event is an event of extraordinary value. The height is a role model because we know that ee it's not about being great or not being great or not talking about this being the most legendary, but there are many lessons that we can learn there and the most important thing for us is actually that eh Indonesia has visited the camel trophy four times and they are very interested. There are some interesting things. There are countless experiences of invaluable value. Everything is very valuable, everything is priceless . What is really felt is the bonding between the participants. That's the most important thing, yeah. For me personally, seeing the sincerity of my family, wife and children supports me in carrying out this activity. Even though they don't do much, I think the most amazing thing is when they support me even if it's just with prayers, especially my wife. I think it has been the biggest moral support and I have never felt alone in this activity. In every problem, I always have a friend. At Sandglow Indonesia I have a brother, a sister who always reminds me. I know I'm an emotional person and the guys in my senior class at Sandglow Indonesia reprimanded me and I like I like being reprimanded. ee means there is someone who reminds me.. even though there are many groups, for example, not ee, there are many participants, 40, 40 vehicles, 30 and so on, then they are divided into groups A, B, C or whatever they are called, but in the end we are still one and we are more like brothers because there is still one disagreement, there is disagreement, there are loud shouts and so on. But this only happened at that time. Then as soon as the day changed, the atmosphere changed again. I see it more and more every day I reflect, seeing or thinking about what I have experienced with these friends, it's not just traveling or expedition or re-tracking, it's not that. Apart from that, we also want to have fun, as Bang Fion said, we want to find happiness the hard way. Wow, that's amazing. The path that the Camel trophy organizers chose was after we dug deeper. If in the past they only talked about man and machine, it turns out that we experience more than just man and machine, there are many things, the most extraordinary of which is internal human relations and our relationships with everyone along the journey. In my opinion, this event is more about the people. It's a transformation process from each of us as participants. I am sure that people have changed since started participating in this activity until finally today. I experienced that. I'm sure that maybe the other friends will be able to remember before we joined the event and after we joined the event, especially those who have joined four times, we will definitely feel the same way. For me, it's clear that I really feel that there is something inside me that has clearly changed. I am so grateful to have been through this event four times. An emotional event, an event that teaches a lot of valuable experiences. And the most important thing for me and maybe for many people too is this achievement in life.

A journey deep into Kalimantan, following remote tracks, crossing rivers, climbing through the rainforest, and pushing far beyond the usual routes. From the dense jungles of Borneo to remote communities, forgotten trails and vast wilderness, this expedition took us across the Equator and through the heart of Kalimantan — facing mud, rivers, breakdowns, unpredictable weather, and everything the island had waiting for us.
