- Remember to watch in 4k (after the Premiere) even on a 1080p screen to stop TH-cam destroying the quality of the GoPro footage.
I hope you enjoyed the video, I had a lot of fun in the edit messing around, especially the salt flat section.
As I mentioned in the outro, these videos can only happen at faster than glacier speed with your support. So if you'd like to see more videos and have them delivered faster, you can:
Send PayPal donations to ed.march@c90adventures.co.uk or use this link www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted...
Purchase t-shirts and hoodies through my shop at c90adventures.co.uk/shop
Or I have an Amazon wishlist for editing equipment if you're ridiculously wealthy and want to have less money. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls...
Or if you're skint, liking this video and making sure you're subscribed does A LOT too.
Oh and to answer a very frequent question: if you'd like to get a mini jeep for yourself, the one I'm driving is a genuine patented Coolster gk-6125a coolster.com/vehicles/gk-6125a/ Any others are copies and often don't even have suspension, or are rear engined so they don't turn corners 😬
And as I said, the next mini-jeep video reveals the stupidest thing I've ever done.
Cheers
Ed
I seriously need a Netflix show or something with multiple seasons man. The humor the narration the animations. Your channel is as good as anything on tv
Better than anything on tv you mean
@@6Twisted it's up there. I personally have some travel/adventure shows I think are just as good in their own way
Agreed just found these andbhave been bingeing them for two days
Yeah season 2 should be Alaska on an improvised snowmobil
@@ah8953 like what shows?
One of the things that I love most about travelogues is that they highlight how most people are basically decent and good and eager to assist anyone in need. Let's build a world full of smiles and helping hands.
I remember you on bikechatforums!
Netflix would make him trans or gay
But usually they are a little off the beaten path that’s where you find all the nice people.
Agreed
Well he isn't driving around in your big democrat filled cities full of rodent rats and human rats alike.
Came for the mini jeep, stayed for the adventure and humor
You should see his honda adventures
I'm genuinely surprised you didn't start the tumbleweeds on fire. Hot engine buried elbows deep in tumbleweeds usually will do that. Love the videos!
Big props to Mike. He and his family seemed pretty chill!
😊
@@mvanshaar You are a legend!
@@mvanshaaryou’re a legend mate! Good on you both for stopping and lending a hand and positive attitude, you’d fit right in here in Outback Australia!
@@mvanshaar really good stuff mate 👏
Good people no doubt!
As a man who has lived in Utah,watching you clear all those tumbleweeds had me on the edge of my seat that’s like prime rattlesnake real estate right there
The bombs probably cleared them out already.
Yeah, I was like "SNAKE SNAKE SNAKE SNAKE"
Hahah, I'm from Utah as well and was thinking the same thing
💯 I'm NOT from Utah yet screamig "SNAKES !!!" 😆
im from the UK, and like Ed, I was think "oh, there's alot of tumbleweeds", and nothing more lol.
I freakin' lost it when you "hit the bomb" 😂
Thanks! I truly enjoy watching your adventures. I hope this small donation finds you happy and well.
Ordnance Guy: "I can't tell you not to do it."
Ed: **accelerates**
I was out there working that job and we all laughed our azz off that morning we saw him camped out on the range 😂
EOD on mil ranges is a sweet (read scam) job. Arty guy here - it isnt that big a deal 🙄
I wouldn't usually watch videos like this but I've found myself invested in this adventure because it's so bizarre 💀
It’s so interesting and the basic editing makes it fell nostalgic
Are you high too?
I've never seen anything like this, and I've spent my life in West Central Oklahoma, and West Maui.
I also dont this types videos but i feel like adicted to this series i dont know whats happening but its happening
I’ve been everywhere man wasn’t capping in the studio
I love that these two stopped and helped you out of their day, so wholesome.
Thanks for sharing your awesome adventures with us!
Man on mini jeep casually drives through potential mine fields, you're both brave and lucky
It wasn’t a mine field. It was a bombing range.
MUCH MUCH bigger boom 💥
brave and lucky aren't the first two words that came to my mind. "stupid" and "crazy" were. sorry Ed but i feel you would agree.
F Authorities all day I like my ability to control my own thoughts. Good luck typing to remove my earned ability
@@bobv8219 There was no authorities in this video?
@@bobv8219 lol chill out, we just don't want random tourists to LITERALLY EXPLODE. You wont be able to do any free thinking after that...
Talk about a serendipitous encounter! The fact you ran into that specific family at that specific stage of your trip is just amazing!
Mike & his dad.. what legends & lucky timing..
I just CANNOT wait for the next episode. Its amazing how entertaining a man can be, with just a small jeep(sort of), a couple cameras and positive attitude. And he is welcomed by good old Americans with their warmth and generosity. This is pure gold!
Yep true
I've heard utah is a pretty decent place to be in terms of good people. Cant say I've heard the same about a lot of other places. There are many places I will specifically refuse to ever go simply because of how deranged and unacceptable most of the residents are. But again this isnt everywhere
@@James27Simko How would you know that most residents of a place are deranged and unacceptable if you’ve never been there?
@@stog9821 Word of mouth... google , you tube ,books, tv documentary's .
I hope this answered your ... question.
@@stog9821 this isnt 1970 anymore.
I have no idea how I ended up here, but I'm fully committed to seeing you through your journey! Thanks for the videos and cant' wait to see the rest of it.
Blundered into this via the algorithm a few years late; I’m not entirely sure what this is, but I’m completely here for it. ❤
I couldn't possible thank you enough for what you do man, it's incredible
That Jeep is a total Monster. Doing so many off-road miles with a broken axle and with over 40 degree C in the air. Just curious what you could do with that jeep if you had some more time on your hands. Looking forward to the next episode.
Amazing videos and content. Keep up the strong work. Love the people you meet, like Mike the Man!
R.I.P. Willy the Road Warrior.
considering these things are meant to be driven around by children for a couple of hours at a time, this one has done pretty well
@@ravenof1985 Absolutely. And in this time of fuel prices we're soon all bound to buy our own Willy. 😂
@ravenof1985 Also maybe I missed something, but seems like no oil changes or additives?
Hopefully he put a better engine in there too, would prob make life a lot easier lol
There's a big aftermarket for go karts so it could very easily be upgraded with better axles and a faster engine.
This series is so entertaining! Thanks for suffering through making it 😅
Vâng, video rất vui nhộn anh bạn
Thanks! Looking forward to episode 4. Good luck.
I love how this guy can keep a smile and laugh his way through the stress and pain of this ahahaha.
Ed, you really are a legend and worthy of all the support. Can't wait to see what's next!
Same
Same
I've enjoyed and appreciated many of your various adventures - Thanks!
i want these endeavors to be so profitable for you MrC90 that you'd have a team supporting you, an editor, a backup crew with spare parts, fresh cameras, and mechanics willing to double as unlicensed chiropractors. that would be quite something.
That Panoramic sky shot of the Salt Flats IS SOMETHING I HAVE NEVER SEEN! BEAUTIFUL....40 MILES? Truly a master of drone Photography
Wow, this is incredible! He filmed, edited all himself? It's literally quality of a cable show. Half hour goes so quickly, very entertaining, nice job!
Yeah. This guy is seriously talented.
Sick!! I’ve been checking for this every week. I’ve run out of your content. It’s so good. Your humor. Your thought process. Your Kindness. It’s all fantastic man!!
Came here to say exactly this!!! Wish he could just go full time adventuring and youtubin!!!! Love the content!!!
@@Reload_N_Shoot To be honest the amount of support I've been getting recently means I might soon be able to go full time.
@@c90adventures That'd be a dream for you and for all of us lol
Full time would be the best
I binged watched all your videos to your up there at the top of my favorite channels on TH-cam bro keep putting out content and good luck on all your adventures 🤙 watching from Oklahoma👍
Mike and Fam were such a cool extra part of the adventure:) What a nice guy.
Ed you are an inspiration of authenticity!!!
This is without a doubt the most entertaining series on TH-cam.
Check out itchy boots. She did an insane journey on a Honda rally
@nicholas5623 her channel is good but Edds is fantastic. Mad dogs and Englishmen mad dogs and Englishmen
Thanks for everything you do. You really put a smile on my face mate keep up the awesome work and enjoy
That 10 pounds will go a long way ,kinda maybe like 2km or something
@@pamelaleveton909 😂😂😂😂. Your evil
@@pamelaleveton909 We eagerly await your far larger donation
@@munktayl0rd nah he should be good for that 2km
I've checked back nearly every day for part 4. The wait has been awful, but the content is so good that I keep coming back to check. Keep up the good work!
So sorry for the delay. I've had a lot on in my life recently. But the next video should be up in the next few days. Finally managed to trim 14.5 hours of footage to 35 minutes.
@@c90adventures Keep up the amazing work 😁!
@@c90adventures awesome to hear
Seeing the clouds shadow on the flats is amazing.... I live in the Appalachian mountains and there's no places around me that you can see such great distances or have a place so flat that it looks almost never ending. I truly enjoy your videos man.
Thanks!
The engine wasn't dying, it was running lean. Thats why you had overheating and thats why it didn't wanna idle. Its carburetted so all you need to do is unscrew the throttle and slide the tiny clip that sits on the needle down one slot and under the carb there is a tiny screw, you just screw that out about half a turn and that will make your mixture more rich and give you back performance. Of course im saying this after the fact, but now you know for the future.
damn we need Ed to see this!!!
If only he knew that would save the trip!🤣🤣🤣😍
Interesting. I wonder if that will be discovered at the start of the next episode, or if he ends up replacing the entire engine?
Key is to realize that and do it BEFORE the rings are nothing but a distant memory... lol
I thought most new engines these days do not have an adjustment screw due to EPA, got to drill out the jet? I was also wondering if he had air filter issues. In that terrain you probably want to clean the filter and change the oil every stop.
This journey is amazing beyond words man, I am seriously envious of every second of this
Love the series man. Watched it all. Hopefully this will pay for a burrito on the road
Broke my heart to see Willy's motor cough its last breath....Cannot wait for the next chapter to see how life is brought back to 'the little Jeep that could......possibly......maybe make it to Moab'
Ed, Ewan and Charley need an adventure together!
you forgot Rachel
He doesn’t belong in America
@@Workin_roadtrip Stop being racist man
Had to pause the video due to laughter. That great advice about cutting TOWARDS your genitals had me in stitches. LOL
These videos make me want to build that Baja Bug I’ve always dreamt of lol
i love watching stuff like this when things break down. not because of the suffering, but because i get to see the ingeniousity of the person fixing it.
This adventure is one of those, "I hated every minute of it, but it was the best fun I ever had" stories. I hope to do something like this one day, but maybe with a full vehicle lol
We call that type 2 fun. It's only fun afterwards.
My favorite one of those was the time I got lost between like seven or eight different towns on a BMX bike.
Tired as hell, but I saw some cool shit.
Man I keep checking every couple of hours for part 4
Big props to you, Ed! What a journey
I wish I was as brave as Ed, to just go out there and live life without the fears of "what if" keeping him from doing things. What a true legend.
This makes the world a better place for sure thankyou 👍
This series has made my evening. Thank you!
I don’t useally comment on videos but the sure level of commitment this guy shows makes me applaud
This is truly epic, it's less about the endurance of the machine now but the endurance of the man. This series reminds me of shows like "long way around" or when you read about those early motoring adventurers in the early 20th century crossing the globe. Outstanding stuff.
it's like the long way round, if they drove a piece of shit, instead of an excellent piece of german engineering lol
While your luck with vehicles hasn't evolved much, your editing ability and content is for sure!This feels like a 1M+ channel in the making. You're doing great and I am so glad I stumbled upon your adventures this summer.
Whoa I just realised he's not a 1M channel still? Whoa
@@kiradotee whoaaa whoaaaaa whoaaa “hank hill voice”
Little tips with the rope plug kit. Do it with air in the tyre. It's much easier. And give the plug a twist once it's in.
They make a nice ball on the inside to stop them coming back through. Also less excess to cut off.
(Tyre fitter in Australia 19yrs)
I cannot believe you’re still smiling and laughing through all this, i wouldn’t have been able to keep my cool, let alone laugh it off and just keep going. Real props to you for your dedication to this adventure
I would have gone around all the stupid gates/roads...AND NOT lost any gas OR anything else (like that water...) in the process...This dummy made it hard all by himself!!!
@Brent Farvors breaking US law (trespassing) especially to a US army only zone would be pretty moronic as an international.
@@henrypringle6047 Not really...ESPECIALLY WHEN (as in THIS CASE...), it's obvious the barrier violates FEDERAL LAW on BLM lands...The WHOLE POINT of "BLM", was to make western graze lands open to ALL through human/animal traffic...
@@henrypringle6047 UNLESS around the "infamous" Groom Lake, the very most they could do is the same as you or me; Ask him to leave any private property...In order to Trespass(AGAIN; EXCEPT for "top secret" areas...), they must ASK YOU to LEAVE...Making the crime of "trespassing", a secondary encounter/charge...ANNND, NO. It's not ME saying this; You can ask ANY LAWYER!!! P.S. Our countries CONSTITITION was explicitly BASED on the concept of FREE TRAVEL; Literally a major cause of the Revolutionary war...UNLESS a highly "top secret area" (WITH SECURITY), they can take their gate, and shove it where the sun don't shine!!! Dude's a COWARD, and REALLY LAME!!! "Whatever you say, Massa...?" It's comments like yours that illustrate PERFECTLY, how much YOU ARE A SLAVE!!! Honestly, you( and your ilk), MAKE ME LITERALLY VOMIT!!!! I KNOW it's time for YOUR next boosta!!!
@@henrypringle6047 for real. At that point, the phrase "cock meat sandwich" comes to mind...
[SPOILERS FOR THIS EPISODE]
Really glad that there was someone else around when Willy eventually kicked the bucket, but still, what a machine! I'm surprised it even got that far, and I applaud your endurance to do these runs. Really excited for the next episode! Cheers!
Yep, just goe's to prove the thing's made in china are inferior!...it may look good but the quality is not up to par by a long shot!...that thing was just not made for that kind of abuse!...fun to watch him though
Driving till the wheels fall off and then buy the closest thing to replace it
This is worthy of Netflix
Looking forward to the next one. Your videos are one of my favorites. Keep on truckin.... err jeepin!
You’ve said in the past that you sometimes struggle to keep the motivation to continue doing your TH-cam/video editing portion of your life. I don’t know you of course or how you feel about making content really, but, for what it’s worth, you objectively make my life better through the entertainment and enjoyment of your work. Thank you Ed, Merry Christmas :)
This video made me laugh so many times tonight!
Legends say he is still trying to get to moab
The Show Must Go On!
Watching your previous content through a huge binge streaming has been amazing, your content is simply marvelous with its humor and light heartedness. It recently has been making me tune in every few days for so to see if you have produced another masterpiece. Safe travels, and ride on my man!
Love You man, these videos really help me through tough times. All the best, and remember to take it easy on yourself!
Can't wait to see what's next.
What a nice family helping you. Also cool journey. I'm from north idaho.
This is endlessly entertaining. Fingers crossed for that schuberth deal
“But it’s fine, because I have such soft suspension, that I’ll just glide over combs and not set them off,” BOOM! 😂you’re sense of humor is fantastic. I love this series, and love what you’re doing. Keep it up!
Now that is a series to binge watch
Thank you for this, hell of a journey.
Your Videos are really entertaining, thanks for all the effort you put in! All the best from Germany!
da stimme ich dir zu =)
100e
Mit so einem Ding durch Deutschland 😅
Viewer from new Zealand here. I didn't know tumbleweeds were real. I never see them where I'm from. I thought they were just a thing in cartoons 😂 until I did research.
FYI: aside from laying a memory foam cushion down, you can put a fan powered seat cooler on top of it for a much more comfortable ride. Air is forced through a ribbed seat cover that pushes up from the bottom and forward from the backrest. I doubt that the jeep comes with a 12 volt plug so you would have to wire it yourself. Maybe position an additional battery in back with a solar trickle charger mounted on the crossbar.
Having traveled tens of thousands of miles criss crossing the country in all seasons while driving a TJ with no AC, I felt this video. Those testing grounds are expansive, and rattlesnakes are plenty! Well done and looking forward to the next chapter.
The prospecting family saved the day. It's amazing that you met them shortly before the engine died. Great content. Thank you so much for taking us along on this epic adventure!!
Angel on his shoulder. Coincidence is a myth.
@@AussieLiam93 Aren't angels a myth?
@@AussieLiam93 cringe
This has been amazing to watch - cant wait to see more.
Dire straits. A man of class as well.
lol, as i sit here and wait for the premier i read the description, and see "And as I said, the next mini-jeep video reveals the stupidest thing I've ever done".
So now i'm on edge for this video AND the next one!
Dude, you have no idea! You'll never guess what I did *evil laugh*
You should definitely do a collab with Grind Hard Plumbing Co! Build you a faster, better riding, more dependable mini jeep.
8:48😂😂😂😂😂😂 15:13😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for the laughs its been nonstop since finding these videos
Thank God Mike and his family was there to help you. I can just imagine you breaking down midway through the saltflats with no phone reception or food/water
There's a point where pushing adventure ends and wrong decisions begins.
That old man is faster I thought a old man is slow 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
As a British person, I really appreciated and enjoyed your suffering with a sense of humour and a touch of sarcasm.. I laughed out loud on a few occasions watching this!! Great video..
I’ve never been this invested in a series on TH-cam. This has got to be some of the best content on here currently
After following you for years and years, I feel its my time to chip in a little! Buy yourself something nice. Like a cheap cooling system from China or something!
Oh, and Merry Christmas Ed :-)
You’re one funny man i got to say i am at the lowest point of my life but man you made me live this life more
Ed, I have been watching your videos for probably 10 years or as long as I can remember, and your content and channel just keeps getting better. cheers.
Awww thanks dude. And all I've ever done is just be me, and make the videos I want to make. So it's nice to see me remain true to my principles and entertain so many people.
Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun, and also in minefields, and also in a toy car. This is absolutely the best thing on TH-cam.
Thank you man for your videos they are extremely professional and very funny on the same time. TH-cam eventually is going to be one of the biggest in the community. For me you are extremely close to the top gear series production level and funny, of course for what a one TH-camr can do. When you become a big TH-camr I hope you are not going to forget us 😉
humor and enthusiasm is unmatched 😂
The like to view ratio on this video is insane. Truly a testament to how awesome this man and his journeys are.
The 600 dislikes is way too much
The entertainment value of Ed being miserable is too good 😆
Binge watching all of these tonight - Proper cracking up
This was funny to wach! I loved it!
THIS IS THE MOMENT WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR, I love this series too much
👍❤️
I salute you sir. This was worth the wait. Thank you for entertaining us with this batshit insane plan.
I would say more "Idiot" than "moron". Production value is solid
Yo, use the tire plugs with a little bit of air in the tire and it's way easier. Trying to plug a flat tire while it flexes sucks lol
Edit: Oh, also smearing the plug with some rubber cement before you put it in makes for a more reliable fix.
Edit 2: Since I'm here, might as well mention that cooling down the already overheated engine block with water (especially for an air cooled engine) is not nice to it. You're cooling primarily the block when you pour water on it, which slightly shrinks and pinches the still-hot pistons. Then, when the block feels cooler, the engine is started back up, but the hot pistons and rings don't have enough clearance in the cool cylinders and it slowly eats either the piston, rings or cylinder wall. The safest way to cool an overheated engine is to just wait.
Yes, him pouring water on his engine probably is the cause of his severe engine issues
Yeah that’s great advice. It’s amazing that it was so durable to those extreme temperature changes.
Thanks! I know you needed a new motor to finish this trip. I used to have a Chinese go kart and I’m surprised your jeep has made it as far as it has.
Caught the channel from part 1 of the jeep trip and ended up binge watching the north/South America series. What a ride! I appreciate you logging all this, it’s allowed me to think more creatively about what I’m doing and planning for this coming year. Take care!
randomly popped up in my recommendations. I got invested. Now its one of the best series I have ever watched here❤
