  1. Please tell me that this was to prove this woman’s strength and not how this guy actually got from place to place.

    Is the basket tied to her head?! Insane.

    • Yes, it’s called a “tump-line”. It actually helps stabilize and distribute heavy loads packed on the back. It’s in the older edition of the Boy Scout Manual.

      That said, the Brit still appears a royal jerk for riding on the back of that old woman.

    I guess they had a donkey shortage

  5. Is there ANY way that riding in that basket was more comfortable than just walking?
