I don't know why TH-cam decided to recommend me a video of a guy driving a mini jeep named Willy in the middle of nowhere, but I liked every bit of it.
This whole thing is insane: the plan, the jokes, the little song and the fact that you barely had water, fuel or electricity! I loved it! Don’t stop! You’re living the dream of many of us. Go places, be in danger, overcome the danger, survive, talk about it! Just brilliant!

Since your fuel valve was closed, your five gallon fuel tank started to pressurize as the heat came from the sun arising. The pressure more than likely caused your fuel line to pop off since it wasn’t fastened with a hose clamp.
@c90adventures I like to think that a prankster on an electric dirtbike came by and popped it off in the early hours of the morning. Does this theory make any sense at all? No. But I choose to believe it anyway.
True.. needs some sort of pressure release valve.. my 5gallon spare fuel tank has a valve on top that you can open and close.. yes it does evaporate after time but it's way better than this happening..
I wish I could be with folks from the UK for their first time coming to the rural expanses of North America. I would assume the vast openness is somewhat mindblowing...
I live in a small town in VT, my in-laws come over from Scotland and are treated like royalty! They love going to my “local” which is a stellar hole in the wall!
As a native Utahn, I think you're absolutely crazy for going on this one alone. 😂 I know I wouldn't want to be out in the west desert like that. I was wondering how it'd be with the military ranges out west and then at the end when you said you were told off for sleeping on bombs I went "yup, there it is" glad to know you're safe!
That’s rough man 18 miles an hour😮. In a normal car going 70 it takes 3.5 to 4 hrs to get to Moab from Salt Lake City and that’s going the fast way up Spanish fork canyon thru Price and Green River. Mad respect to you. (I’ve been a Utahn all my life)
I had one, it would do about 32mph but you had to pay attention. It was very darty from side to side at that speed. Almost like it needed a steering stabilizer.
Dear Ed. I'm glad that you are happy with your new adventures. I doesn't really matter if it has 2 or 4 wheels or where you're going, it's you and your awesomeness we all come to see here ❤️👍😎
As a native Utahn, this looks like an amazing and difficult trek.! I've been on so many of the roads you were on, or very near them... especially our west Desert. So rare to see someone who has been to Kelton for example. Thanks for sharing! Cheers!

True story, those exist, but only in California where all the enlightened ppl are now that petty theft and taking a shit on the sidewalk right next to you while trying to eat your lunch has been decriminalized 😕. Buuuut, in reality, most everyone in the states are really nice to everyone and are good ppl. Not all ppl, but most of them are for sure.
Not only is everyone in the video friendly, but the guy in the mini jeep is super positive and is consistently in high spirits! It makes a great video and really entertaining to watch.
19:42 is the last time Willy's windshield is ever seen intact. After this, it lost a section of the top left, which is really noticeable for the rest of its lifespan until Willy's repaired, where the windshield is lost completely. Just something I thought was interesting to note, because I was looking for the moment that it happened.
As one of the 2.3%, it boggles one's mind that so few girls are entertained by this brilliant storytelling. Loved the song, laughed A LOT. Can't wait for the next edit!
Ed, just wanted to say that I'm laughing out loud alone in my office more than a few times watching your brilliant episodes. Watching you be free as a bird feeds my soul in this life of responsibilities I have. Thank you!
I'm living vicariously through you. This trip makes me want to buy a mini jeep and get out more exploring. Truly an awesome experience your taking us on. Be safe
I live near DC and the money is too good for me to seriously consider leaving, but I have to admit I'm sorely tempted to fuck off to the middle of nowhere and just do fun stuff for the next few decades. At age 40, with a family to raise, life is serious all day every day with no breaks.
@MuMa & Peter S. Tobacco corp. Yeah, I was impressed by that too. On the more advanced (read expensive) DJI drones you can plot a course through the app so that's what he must've done. Pretty clever
Ed March! We were worried about you, hadn’t heard anything in a while. Then you randomly show up on a couple of episodes of Itchy Boots and make me jump out of my seat! Now, driving across Utah in a mini Jeep! Glad to see things are going well for you! Can’t wait to see this series
It's funny: with other channels I'd be judging this as an artificial cliffhanger. But this is Ed, I'm happy to wait another day, as I'm sure it'll be worth it. Thanks for the joyful videos you keep making, were waiting in happy anticipation for the next one!
With as much bouncing around as you were experiencing, and as dry as it was in the desert, I REALLY hope you unstrapped your fuel tanks and placed them on the concrete while you filled them! I learned this the hard way when overlanding in an ATV/side-by-side. We had main and aux tanks strapped down to floor of the cargo area or wherever we could along the chassis and role cage (much like you) and between the hot dry weather, the constant shaking/bouncing around and the vinyl materials that were used to make the fuel container, the injection molded plastic body panels of the ATV, along with all the synthetic nylon/rayon of the backpacks, tents, riding clothes, etc, we were essentially a giant static electricity generator! And we had built up QUITE a lot of static charge along our journey! We started filling up the tanks, and when my riding mate when to put the fuel nozzle into the 3rd (and largest) empty fuel jug, a huge amount of static electricity jumped from the neck of the gas can to the metal fuel pump nozzle, and the giant, hot, cloud of fuel vapor that has formed inside the empty 5 gal gas can ignited! It blew the entire gas can to SHREDS, and it ignited the fuel that was dripping out the end of the nozzle and had flew everywhere and landed on the ATV, all over our backpacks, my buddies riding clothes there he was wearing, etc! He was engulfed in flames! Luckily he was wearing his riding clothes, which offered a small amount of protection from the open flames, and his helmet protected his head! And a local 4x4 guy had a big extinguisher inside his truck and he had it wide open and turned onto my buddy in seconds! And when he was satisfied that my buddy was out he he turned it on our ATV, so we suffered minimal damage thank God! Lesson learned! Always fill your fuel cans on the ground, not while inside a vehicle or sitting in a bed of a truck!
Zip ties are a must on a long trip like that bro, would have fixed your chain guard problem and your analysis on the ground clearance being 10 inches was funny as hell 😂.
As a former Steel Fixer, I recommend a spool of high tensile tie wire, it's cheap, plentiful, won't melt and extremely strong as well a single 1kg bundle you'll have enough to make a small cabin. Multiple strands twisted are strong enough to tow vehicles offroad.
Nutter. Absolutely brilliant. A few years ago I drove coast to coast across America. My 12,500 miles had a bit more humanity around as I was driving but they were still long, but awesome, days.
Only found this channel an hour ago and it is rapidly becoming one of my favourites! Very much looking forward to watching the back catalogue. Thanks Ed, and good luck!
The saga of him coming to the realization that he can just turn the water bottle upside down so it doesn't leak out of the pinhole was truly a tale for the ages
I gotta say, this is a lot better than I expected. Liked and subbed. As someone from Moab, I approve of this man's undeniably moronic yet somehow very relaxed and fun quest.
So one “Idiot in pain” sets a premier. They say misery likes company so you keeping us waiting keeps us in pain too. Well played Mr March, well played. Often solo, never alone!
😂😂😂😂 that gas pump handle sealed it for me!!! I did not realize we were talking the Jeep on a road trip!! I thought the map was for show. 😂😂😂😂 I can’t!!!!!!! The song!!!!! Love it!!!! I’m glad your safe!! Where to next ❤❤❤❤ WILLIE!!!! You know how to bring us back to the comments!! 😂😂😂
It's actually pretty impressive that it can reach 25 mph, with the stock engine. I wonder if you could tune the engine to get more power and speed.. 8 hp isn't too bad for something small. It would probably be super fun with a 125cc 2 stroke motocross engine.
I was just going to say the same! The whole trip from Alaska to Argentina sometimes had criminally low views seeing how much time and effort went into them.
I don’t know how I’ve missed your journey for the past decade but I’m glad this Utah trip helped me find you. Now I’ve watched the whole Alaska to Argentina trip and ordered your previous trip and can’t wait to watch it! Can’t wait to see the rest of the trip!
I thought I was a bit of an adventurer myself, but after watching ALL of your videos, I can't hold a candle to you, kind sir. This is my favuorite channel and you will be my first (and probably the only) TH-camr to whom I will gladly contribute. Best wishes from Slowenia.
one of the 2.3% of girls here! I haven't laughed this much in a long long time. These recent videos are great. Your humor, your ingenuity, and sense of adventure is incredibly inspiring. Take care, I look forward to the next installment ^^!
The child in me would totally do this, the old man in my back feels so bad for you. Excellent video brother, you have gained a subscriber simply due to your positive outlook through all of the pain and suffering you endured to bring smiles to our faces.
Dude watching this I was literally on the edge of my seat. Gas leak, dead battery, almost falling off, keeping a straight line on a narrow path with shotty handling, broken chain guard, riding on E. This shit was better than a 2 hour big budget movie!!
Your videos make US giggle ED. I'm watching at 4am as I want to finish it before heading out to work. Brother, stay reasonably unsafe and keep doing what we couldn't.
Ed March riding willy in the desert until his back breaks, what more could you want? To be serious though this is one of the best videos on the channel yet. You drove on a straight road through a barren wasteland devoid of life and somehow turned it into 30 minutes of hilarious and interesting content. I can't wait for the next part!
I have the attention span of a very small child who's had a sugar overdose. I watched this from start to finish...! Love it. Reach out to some of these companies that sell the portable power stations, they are small enough to strap on the back of the Jeep. The 1000W 35Ah ones would last you the whole trip I reckon.
This is awesome! I have one of these myself, and even driving on the local streets is scary enough. I can’t imagine taking it through a desert. Your dedication is unbelievable.
this whole journey feels like something from the start of the last century, back in the days when the first automobiles were becoming more mainstream and they wanted to see what these new machines could do.
So glad i came across your channel due to the youtube algorithm. Watched your whole trip from Alaska to Argentina and was amazed. It finally made me realized what I wanted to do. I'm 29 and I haven't lived at all. I have my eyes on a honda trail 125. So hopefully I'll be licensed and start driving In The spring. I don't think I'll ever be able to take trips as long as yours due to work, but as a guy living in northern michigan I could go in either direction(excluding the lakes for course) so thank you Ed for your humor and making me realize what I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing. Can't wait for more episodes. Take care man and safe travels!
What you are undertaking is in the spirit of a true adventure, using only basic equipment. Really enjoying your video clips. Stay safe and have lots of fun. 😀
I'm thoroughly impressed by the mini jeep and was on the fence about buying one until i saw this. It's a mostly flat, 17 miles from the tractor supply store to my house and I'm thinking that it will be a trial by fire for it's maiden voyage. I will definitely bring a memory foam cushion and a real gas can for the trek.

@@matthewcullen1298 anywhere that isn’t a big city is a go to in America.
Not only is everyone in the video friendly, but the guy in the mini jeep is super positive and is consistently in high spirits! It makes a great video and really entertaining to watch.
Does anybody else periodically check the comments just to make sure Ed hasn't been missing too long?
No rush on new vids. Glad you're safe friend.
Yep all the time 😂
19:42 is the last time Willy's windshield is ever seen intact. After this, it lost a section of the top left, which is really noticeable for the rest of its lifespan until Willy's repaired, where the windshield is lost completely. Just something I thought was interesting to note, because I was looking for the moment that it happened.
Prob cracked from vibrating
As one of the 2.3%, it boggles one's mind that so few girls are entertained by this brilliant storytelling. Loved the song, laughed A LOT. Can't wait for the next edit!
It boggles me as well that there are so few girls. Makes me quite sad so few girls enjoy car-related things.
Joining in on the rare double x chromosome team
Ditto😂
@@beachwalk5178 well that's the whole gang here then. all 3 of em
Vanessa darlin, wanna come to rural West Texas and be a cowgirl
It's incredible how he used those drones while driving and showing his adventure on the road
Ed, just wanted to say that I'm laughing out loud alone in my office more than a few times watching your brilliant episodes. Watching you be free as a bird feeds my soul in this life of responsibilities I have. Thank you!
Women may live longer than men, but we sure as hell have a lot of fun in our short lives! Best video I’ve ever seen.
I'm living vicariously through you. This trip makes me want to buy a mini jeep and get out more exploring. Truly an awesome experience your taking us on. Be safe
I think better buy a SXS
@@NabiL_Lam can you tell me more about that?
@@mazingerzeta777 side by side like can am maverick x3 is designed to handle tough terrains and they can go almost everywhere
I live near DC and the money is too good for me to seriously consider leaving, but I have to admit I'm sorely tempted to fuck off to the middle of nowhere and just do fun stuff for the next few decades. At age 40, with a family to raise, life is serious all day every day with no breaks.
This is the greatest adventure I think I’ve ever seen. Your editing and shooting styles are brilliant
Absolutely. A lot of hard work went into getting all those different camera angle and drone shots.
Have you seen his other videos?? They're quite good, especially the ones through Canada.
@MuMa & Peter S. Tobacco corp. Yeah, I was impressed by that too. On the more advanced (read expensive) DJI drones you can plot a course through the app so that's what he must've done. Pretty clever
@MuMa & Peter S. Tobacco corp. No problem at all dude :)
Awesome stuff. You make me smile and laugh out loud lots! So thats worth at least a couple of diners. Greetings from the Netherlands.
why does this have no replies you are a very nice guy
Keep him moving. First time seeing his videos for me. Fun stuff.
your a nice guy
jesus christ that's a ton of money
Dude this video is incredible, ima bout to binge the entire series. Instantly subscribed this is one of the best videos I have ever seen.
Ed March! We were worried about you, hadn’t heard anything in a while. Then you randomly show up on a couple of episodes of Itchy Boots and make me jump out of my seat! Now, driving across Utah in a mini Jeep! Glad to see things are going well for you! Can’t wait to see this series
love itchy boots
Caught him on itchy boots too.
I feel a connection as met her in Diani when she was in Kenya.
I knew there was a TH-cam youniverse when they met.
I really hope everyone watching appreciates just how much effort goes into the filming, especially the dronework. Awesome channel
It's funny: with other channels I'd be judging this as an artificial cliffhanger.
But this is Ed, I'm happy to wait another day, as I'm sure it'll be worth it. Thanks for the joyful videos you keep making, were waiting in happy anticipation for the next one!
Yeah this is just a genuine cockup haha
i said the exact same thing to my friend that i introduced to the channel. i told him "you gotta just give him time, its worth it."
@@c90adventures im sure you could definitely use the time off to recover from this shitfest anyways
edit: very cool shitfest
Hahahaha kekker bezig Bram ;P
Ed is a cliffhanger himself, it's natural. :b
With as much bouncing around as you were experiencing, and as dry as it was in the desert, I REALLY hope you unstrapped your fuel tanks and placed them on the concrete while you filled them!
I learned this the hard way when overlanding in an ATV/side-by-side. We had main and aux tanks strapped down to floor of the cargo area or wherever we could along the chassis and role cage (much like you) and between the hot dry weather, the constant shaking/bouncing around and the vinyl materials that were used to make the fuel container, the injection molded plastic body panels of the ATV, along with all the synthetic nylon/rayon of the backpacks, tents, riding clothes, etc, we were essentially a giant static electricity generator! And we had built up QUITE a lot of static charge along our journey!
We started filling up the tanks, and when my riding mate when to put the fuel nozzle into the 3rd (and largest) empty fuel jug, a huge amount of static electricity jumped from the neck of the gas can to the metal fuel pump nozzle, and the giant, hot, cloud of fuel vapor that has formed inside the empty 5 gal gas can ignited!
It blew the entire gas can to SHREDS, and it ignited the fuel that was dripping out the end of the nozzle and had flew everywhere and landed on the ATV, all over our backpacks, my buddies riding clothes there he was wearing, etc!
He was engulfed in flames!
Luckily he was wearing his riding clothes, which offered a small amount of protection from the open flames, and his helmet protected his head! And a local 4x4 guy had a big extinguisher inside his truck and he had it wide open and turned onto my buddy in seconds!
And when he was satisfied that my buddy was out he he turned it on our ATV, so we suffered minimal damage thank God!
Lesson learned! Always fill your fuel cans on the ground, not while inside a vehicle or sitting in a bed of a truck!
Zip ties are a must on a long trip like that bro, would have fixed your chain guard problem and your analysis on the ground clearance being 10 inches was funny as hell 😂.
Everyone should carry zipties in every rig. I throw at least 5-10 in everything. I would carry much more in my old Toyota I'd take offroad lol.
I came here to to make the same comment re zip ties.
Them and duct tap
As a former Steel Fixer, I recommend a spool of high tensile tie wire, it's cheap, plentiful, won't melt and extremely strong as well a single 1kg bundle you'll have enough to make a small cabin. Multiple strands twisted are strong enough to tow vehicles offroad.
@@Sion_RevanI’ve heard from first hand account that many things in the armed forces are rigged with tie wire.
A round of applause for the most hilarious adventurer in America 😂😂😂😂
It’s a Brit of course he’s hilarious 😆
@@kraenk12 that is not a given
@@kraenk12 that’s something Brits are known for?
Nutter. Absolutely brilliant. A few years ago I drove coast to coast across America. My 12,500 miles had a bit more humanity around as I was driving but they were still long, but awesome, days.
How long did 12500 miles take
“So being a guy, this thing is about…. 10 inches!” I fucking cackled at this. Haha cheers mate, thanks for the footage.
I did too and I, literally, had to sub @ that point
I feel like this could be made into some kind of yearly event
A 7 Hour Dr. in a mini Jeep WOW
You mean....should👀👀
Imagine taking that grocery shopping
It could be an awesome event. Might have to modify the suspension a bit... lol
Now u gonna get a bunch of TikTok kids trying this😂
Only found this channel an hour ago and it is rapidly becoming one of my favourites! Very much looking forward to watching the back catalogue. Thanks Ed, and good luck!
I love the soft pitches for manufacturer gear donations. You should get a letter posted and have everyone send it to the manufacturers!
This guy deserves more attention❤
The saga of him coming to the realization that he can just turn the water bottle upside down so it doesn't leak out of the pinhole was truly a tale for the ages
This is so awesome! You're the living proof there are still real adventurers around!
Honestly the pop up tent folding ability was very impressive
All of Utah and the western part of Colorado have the friendliest people. That's why I've chosen to live here.
I gotta say, this is a lot better than I expected. Liked and subbed. As someone from Moab, I approve of this man's undeniably moronic yet somehow very relaxed and fun quest.
So one “Idiot in pain” sets a premier. They say misery likes company so you keeping us waiting keeps us in pain too. Well played Mr March, well played. Often solo, never alone!
I'm glad there are people out there who will figure out if the mini jeep will make it to Moab.
Right? He was sent from God😳
😂😂😂😂 that gas pump handle sealed it for me!!! I did not realize we were talking the Jeep on a road trip!! I thought the map was for show. 😂😂😂😂 I can’t!!!!!!! The song!!!!! Love it!!!! I’m glad your safe!! Where to next ❤❤❤❤ WILLIE!!!! You know how to bring us back to the comments!! 😂😂😂
It's actually pretty impressive that it can reach 25 mph, with the stock engine. I wonder if you could tune the engine to get more power and speed.. 8 hp isn't too bad for something small. It would probably be super fun with a 125cc 2 stroke motocross engine.
Epic adventure as always. Ed's pain isn't wasted, it's a worthy sacrifice for his fans.
It's awesome to see ed finally getting the views he deserves
I was just going to say the same! The whole trip from Alaska to Argentina sometimes had criminally low views seeing how much time and effort went into them.
and the 2nd part getting more views than the first?
It pains me he doesn’t get ad money despite having 4 million views already.
@@kraenk12 its been 6 or 7 weeks since the last one bit long of a gap
Give that man a record deal for those freestyle skills 😂 sweet. It's all about the journey
Top shelf, Ed. We watched the premiere and loved it. ❤ Great shots. Great editing.
JEREMY!!!! *calms down* Thank you.
I don’t know how I’ve missed your journey for the past decade but I’m glad this Utah trip helped me find you. Now I’ve watched the whole Alaska to Argentina trip and ordered your previous trip and can’t wait to watch it! Can’t wait to see the rest of the trip!
I thought I was a bit of an adventurer myself, but after watching ALL of your videos, I can't hold a candle to you, kind sir. This is my favuorite channel and you will be my first (and probably the only) TH-camr to whom I will gladly contribute. Best wishes from Slowenia.
Right from the very start I knew there would be problems along the way...but that's part of the adventure...the uncertainties..
Salute to you sir❤
I lived in and traveled much of Utah. You winged this incredibly well. Can't wait for the next segment!
I’ve done some silly adventures, but this is next level torture. Cannot wait till the next episode 😂
one of the 2.3% of girls here! I haven't laughed this much in a long long time. These recent videos are great. Your humor, your ingenuity, and sense of adventure is incredibly inspiring. Take care, I look forward to the next installment ^^!
Because of this video, I had to subscribe and download all the remaining videos ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
If this isn't the epitome of a hold my beer moment, I don't know what is.
Brilliant video by the way.
The child in me would totally do this, the old man in my back feels so bad for you. Excellent video brother, you have gained a subscriber simply due to your positive outlook through all of the pain and suffering you endured to bring smiles to our faces.
Dude watching this I was literally on the edge of my seat.
Gas leak, dead battery, almost falling off, keeping a straight line on a narrow path with shotty handling, broken chain guard, riding on E.
This shit was better than a 2 hour big budget movie!!
Great Trip! The only thing I would add....when the chain guard falls off, a Bungee Cord works wonders! Or some Duct Tape!
Your videos make US giggle ED. I'm watching at 4am as I want to finish it before heading out to work. Brother, stay reasonably unsafe and keep doing what we couldn't.
Ed March riding willy in the desert until his back breaks, what more could you want?
To be serious though this is one of the best videos on the channel yet. You drove on a straight road through a barren wasteland devoid of life and somehow turned it into 30 minutes of hilarious and interesting content. I can't wait for the next part!
And would Noraly drive down from Alaska, to his rescue...
I have the attention span of a very small child who's had a sugar overdose. I watched this from start to finish...! Love it.
Reach out to some of these companies that sell the portable power stations, they are small enough to strap on the back of the Jeep. The 1000W 35Ah ones would last you the whole trip I reckon.
I’m glad he threw in the Father Ted clip. That was my favorite show watch when I was stationed at Mildenhall.
Thanks for taking the time to film and narrate this so well! Great series!
Thank you very much. I do these trips for my own enjoyment, but I take the extra time to film and edit it for you guys, and 2.3% girls.
❤
This is awesome! I have one of these myself, and even driving on the local streets is scary enough. I can’t imagine taking it through a desert. Your dedication is unbelievable.
Was yours 4 grand too bro?
@@sippinlosses It was around that. Insurance is also pretty cheap. It’s around $25 a year.
Gives me The Long Drive vibes with all the random broken parts and the vehicle overflowing with random stuff in the middle of the desert
same
The long drive is the best way to recreate this from your computer
Those NOCO boost jumpstarters are gold for this sort of adventurtainment. Very compact.
WHERE IS EPISODE 3?!??! I NEED IT NOW!!
Keep up the great work!
@FITNESSOVER45where did you find that at id like to know more
Me too, what's going on?
@old man strength driving on tribal land is legal
No he didn’t, he’s going to release the 3rd video on Christmas.
@fitnessover45. I will be deleting your comments, I do not tolerate lies like that.
A bloke is just out there living. What a champion. Great video ✌🏻
This journey was straight like something out of GTA, and that’s what impresses me. The fact that you managed to pull this of is just incredible!!!
He explored the edge of the map
@@commiekiller fr
GTA? How? It’s real life.
@@stupidhead9117 I’m saying it looked like it
this whole journey feels like something from the start of the last century, back in the days when the first automobiles were becoming more mainstream and they wanted to see what these new machines could do.
So glad i came across your channel due to the youtube algorithm. Watched your whole trip from Alaska to Argentina and was amazed. It finally made me realized what I wanted to do. I'm 29 and I haven't lived at all. I have my eyes on a honda trail 125. So hopefully I'll be licensed and start driving In The spring. I don't think I'll ever be able to take trips as long as yours due to work, but as a guy living in northern michigan I could go in either direction(excluding the lakes for course) so thank you Ed for your humor and making me realize what I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing. Can't wait for more episodes. Take care man and safe travels!
What you are undertaking is in the spirit of a true adventure, using only basic equipment. Really enjoying your video clips. Stay safe and have lots of fun. 😀
Those kind people gave you a gift that kept giving.. stay safe and blessed out there brotha
I'm thoroughly impressed by the mini jeep and was on the fence about buying one until i saw this. It's a mostly flat, 17 miles from the tractor supply store to my house and I'm thinking that it will be a trial by fire for it's maiden voyage. I will definitely bring a memory foam cushion and a real gas can for the trek.
