“That would be life-threatening”: In Montana, Konny and Manu Reimann had to survive a small moment of shock. Otherwise, the US road trip had real highlights in store for the emigrants – including a real male friendship, a kayak trip on the Missouri and a cattle drive.

The Reimanns’ US road trip is slowly coming to an end. However, in Montana expected Manu and Equestrian in the recent episode of “Welcome to the Reimanns” (Kabel Eins) once again a real adventure. Instead of residing in their luxury mobile home at a campsite, the emigrant couple had decided to camp wild on one of the magnificent lakes in Montana, right next to the water.
“At the moment there are no end of trees and bushes here, but there was a sign,” Konny carefully guided the mobile home along a forest path – until he stopped at a garage. “Look, there’s someone doing gymnastics on the fence in front,” the 67-year-old spotted the alleged property owner in the distance, but carefully added: “Does he have a shotgun?” After all, the same rule applies in Montana as in the former Reimann homeland of Texas: you can defend your own property with your hand on the gun. “I wouldn’t drive here in the dark, that would be life-threatening,” said Konny.

Finally reunited with the cordless drill
But all doubts were unfounded. Instead, she welcomed owner Carl, who runs an on-site adventure camp, with open arms. Konny helped the US adventurer to build a raft in exchange for the hospitality – and after a three-week abstinence he was finally allowed to hold a cordless screwdriver in his hand again: “The feeling is good, the screws are good.”
The next day, the Reimanns went on a boat trip, which put the otherwise reserved Manu in a speed frenzy. At the farewell campfire with Carl in the evening, Konny explained the friendship to him: “We keep this place in our thoughts.” Carl replied, “You can come back anytime. It was an honor to have you here.”

Konny Reimann doesn’t care about his birthday: “Every year the same theater”
The Reimanns had previously left a farm in Wyoming, just as happy, but also with a “crying eye” (Konny). “Konny fits Wyoming like a bucket,” Manu assessed the situation. And indeed: During a cattle drive, her husband acted like a veritable cowboy on the back of a mare and thoroughly enjoyed the six-hour ride: “It’s cool to be riding through the prairie like that.” It was a “hard but happy life”, Konny assumed. And Manu was happy about the insights into a “completely different world”.
With so many impressive experiences, the Reimanns could finally get over the fact that a long-awaited meeting didn’t work out. “Traumschiff” actor Nick Wilder, whom the emigrants met while shooting a film in Hawaii, had to pass due to a corona infection. “It’s a pity, but we can’t change that,” said Konny with his usual Nordic composure. Manu and Konny enjoyed the planned kayak trip on the Missouri as a couple.
Meanwhile, Manu pushed ahead with the secret preparations for Konny’s birthday – even if he doesn’t care much about his day of honor: “Every year the same theater.” Manu didn’t really care, instead she tracked down a German confectioner in Washington who prepared Konny’s favorite cake (Black Forest cherry). But the much bigger surprise is still waiting for the celebrant: a spectacular flight in a double-decker aircraft. But that only shows in the new episode of “Welcome to the Reimanns”.
