On October 31, 2013, the co-founders of BRCK set out from Nairobi, Kenya for Sibiloi National Park on Lake Turkana to stress test the BRCK: a rugged internet connectivity device developed in Nairobi. The goal of the trip was to use BRCK's remote connectivity to live stream a full solar eclipse passing over the National Park on November 3rd. The team travelled for three days through some of the most remote and dangerous regions of Kenya using a Land Rover and three motorcycles to reach their destination.
