[jrajeeb]

how about every one shut da hell up and just enjoy the video? for god's sake why does every thing drift to a stupid endless political argument? GROW UP people!

[arabvouge]

@jrajeeb because we are living it! and u cant block reality!

[Dbskelton]

Rebecca, this was a great video! Will watch for more of your video and print journalism. Too bad so many of these posts are not really comments on your video but rather not very kind rants which should really take place in another arena. Come on, people, let's love one another!

[ensserdo]

im libyan and we dont hate canadians or americans they are just normal people like us and they are welcome whenever they want . enjoy ur time guys.

[vgmaster9]

If adventure racing would become an Olympic sport, then she could compete there.

[AkakusMan]

For more videos, photography and info about the Libyan Challenge, check out the race website. See you in 2010? :-)

[AkakusMan]

Nice video and a great result!

[morchid]

i don't undertund we come to watch video about sport or about hatennes and fight of religions and politics ?!!!!!!!

[JamesKM1ll]

I don't support what our government does. Ignorant fool.

[rookieasif]

nice story, another race called des sables, breaks all limits, it takes place in desert as well.

[juzores]

aww libya my homeland . i love her so much. i wish my goverment was better than that to deserve that beautiful land

[WKaliberr]

yes you make me feel yeah yeah

[workingclasssociety]

how do these people afford to do this?

[EnchantingNature]

They are reporters, my guess is they have the money and the time.

[patago71]

Yeah I know. I was thinking the same thing. Anything you want to do or anywhere you want to go requires money, especially if it is on the other side of the world. There must be some sort of sponsorship to do this documentary.

[Ezzedeen01]

Americans polluting Muslim lands.

Not surprised!

[JamesKM1ll]

This is the type of ignorance that is despised between any human being. Your separating Muslims and Americans, when, in actuality, we have Muslims as well. The next time you complain about that, think about it.

[AngryLibyan]

Americans are welcome but Shitaliano big NO

[Nabiljamil35]

I'm Muslim and let me tell you that no one is polluting our land but hateful ignorant  fundamentalist like you.

[Ezzedeen01]

No, the only pollution of our lands is coming from DU or depleted Uranium which was used during the 2 Iraq wars and kindly purchased using your money.

Little child murdering SHIT

[Nabiljamil35]

Did you know that your canadian government support a hateful jewish group called Jewish Defence League (JDL). That group is even banned in US. Go educate yourself or maybe kill yourself, because your tax money goes to support Israeli settlement.

[Ezzedeen01]

Actually i did know that.

But i have NO choice, because i HAVE NO COUNTRY.

You on the other hand, DO HAVE A COUNTRY, and are a traitor

[Nabiljamil35]

Yes I do have a country and it's US. I don't live in libya because the fascist dictatorship in libya have killed more libyan then the US ever did.

You are the traitor. Living in Canada while your own people are dying in Gaza and west bank. It's cowards like you who spend their useless life attacking people with fake name and information instead of being with their own people fighting. Get a life loser.

[Ezzedeen01]

I am not a traitor, a traitor is one who works against their own country. Which you are doing. I can't be a traitor because i have no country. And i have sent everything i have to Gaza

I have no choice to live in Canada. My parents are immigrants, my dad left Akka when he was 6 years old.

I can't afford to go Toronto much less Gaza.

You are the coward, you can live in Libya, and contribute to its economy but you are afraid.

[Nabiljamil35]

Ezzedeen01, your post on my wall explain what kind of person you are. I know my religion well and I'm very aware of what The US Government does in middle east. There is nothing negative about this video that justify your hateful comments in here. It really show how losers like you spend their time attacking people instead of doing something productive with their sorry ass life. You are the one who needs to pull the trigger on his forehead, but what is the point, It's probably empty anyway.

[Ezzedeen01]

Èdoing something productive in my life sending $500 to Gaza during the war, in which American weapons were used, bought using the money you gave to the American government.

Bring it on you little child murderer.

American "Muslim" MY ASS.

[Nabiljamil35]

ahhh so you are not even libyan and your live in Canada "Muslim Canadian". I forgot how much Canada loves Arabs and helps palestinians. I say take your hateful comment to a videos that deal with Palestine and please stay away from a country that is not even yours.

[Ezzedeen01]

I NEVER said Canada loves Arabs or Palestinians or Muslims.

I agree, Libya is not even mine.

But you would rather live in the United States to make a quick buck knowing how many hundreds of thousands it has killed, than stay in "your" country and not make as much money

TRAITOR

[Nabiljamil35]

You should used that money to free your own country from the fascist dictatorship that been ruling for ever.

[OhNoItsGojira]

Awesome story.

[keh878]

Such an amazing accomplishment. It is truly inspiring that you both ran and completed this race while documenting it along the way. Congratulations to the whole American team.

[davidinfo13]

love adventure sports ...

[jrockforsure]

whatever!

[brick4sale]

Women have incredible endurance.

[teemuruskeepaa]

She actually explained she's doing a documentary

[FinalFan0]

Nothing personal, I'm just a big guy. Big guys need to consume 6,000 calories per day just to stay moving. Let along hiking 200km's through a desert. :)

[jonathan1stewart]

Great effort. Thanks for documenting this event, set in the beautiful Sahara desert. I like the music too, Touareg blues. Excellent!

[CreativeLeigh]

Congrats to the other participants as well!

[CreativeLeigh]

What an incredible journey. This is amazing and inspiring. Rebecca, you are passionate and you have the ability to inspire so many people! Congrats on this accomplishment and I look forward to the next story you share as I live vicariously through you. Remember: Keep shining and the world will shine with you!

[RuiFranciscoVieira]

I want to do that.....I want to liveeeeeeee

[kimintexas]

Wow, you go girl!

[Gravityh]

Nice work out there in the Libyan Desert. I had a great time out there competing in this event and thank you Rebecca for making this possible and keeping this project moving ahead. Congrats to my American team members for completing the race and for the motivation to take on this challenge outside of your normal endurance pursuits. Also thanks to our sponsors Hammer Nutrition and Green-Layer clothing. They were a great addition to supporting the whole team. On to our next adventure!

[thetime]

nice video

[FinalFan0]

7,000 calories of food... damn if I am going to run 200km's I think I need a lot more than just 7,000 calories...
