When I was a kid (late 1960’s) I was going through my father’s shop and came across a strange hose. My father said it was used to fill car tires. Apparently you pulled a spark plug and screwed in one end of the hose, cranked the car and used the pressure from the car piston to inflate the tire.
Great solution for petrol engines, you could maybe get the same result from an old diesel with enough blow by!
Air conditioning pumps work as well.
I have one of these myself, made by Schrader. Because carburettors rely on vacuum to draw fuel in, with the pump in the spark plug hole it can't draw fuel through, especially with the ball valve inside the pump acting as a one-way valve, so no fuel vapours can get into the tyre. They're very fast too!
I can confirm Andrew the mobile network in rural Norfolk (uk) is practically non- existent 😂 sometimes better off sending a pigeon with a note!
I agree about the cell coverage in the UK. It’s deteriorated massively too since 2013. You now can’t rely on signal being there in many medium sized towns and even parts of London. I now carry a Starlink dish in the back of my Land Cruiser so I can get mobile data in the UK!
When you replace a high IQ population with a low IQ population the infrastructure soon falters. South Africa is a prime example. Cell coverage is the least concern.
Love it, keep going Andrew!
The 1hz sounds wonderful through the microphone ( inside the cabin ) adds theatre , Your older productions were soo natural .. your old friends bring a richness the deserves mention.
Awesome and outstanding as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Amazing shots Andrew, thanks for doing what you do so well ❤
I had such a good laugh after attentively listening for the lion call😂
I'm glad to hear its not just me who thinks the UK has absolutely terrible cellphone coverage. I've been living here a couple of years now and can't believe how frequently I find myself without signal in a moderately populated area.
Awesome to follow the trip so far. Especially seeing some familiar places!
I lived in Ghanzi for almost 3 years - close to a year of which was at that lodge you stayed in, I know those springbokkies well!
That's just a simple/cheap regulator under the bonnet on the air compressor.
It would be easy to plumb up an air line to the rear of the vehicle, with a second regulator and another quick connect.
You could inflate front tyres to one preset pressure and then take your hose to the back, plug it in to the other regulator, and inflate rear tyres to a different preset pressure.
So cool to cut back to when you were there twenty years earlier, great video 👍
Loved the flashback to 24 years ago.
Great work, Andrew. More commercial than other series, but I suppose it is necessary. Look forward to the next episode.
Now in 2024 the uk seems to have less cell phone coveage than in 2013. All the effort has gone into making faster 4g and 5g internet but the coverage is very patchy
Another great video thanks
I enjoyed this thoroughly....Best wishes always from Wales 🏴
Keep up the good work
I am enjoying the journey and cannot wait to do it with the Beer Troopy. I'll buy you a beer at the Okavango Brewery in Maun 🙂
Milwaukee 18v compressor is brilliant. Inflated 16 tyres each 15 psi on one 4 amp battery. Set the pressure you want and walk away. Game over.
If you want a tire inflator that is very fast and has presets, I suggest you might have a look at the Milwaukee m18 inflator. It is surprisingly fast and very accurate. It is one of the best purchases I have ever made. Then, since you would now have the battery required, you could get a top-notch cordless impact wrench that will use the same battery. Just a suggestion based on my own experience. I'm a long-time fan, Andrew. Thanks for the years of stories and adventures that I will most likely never get to experience for myself. My all-time favorite is still the way you tell the nuisance baboons in camp story. I've probably listened to that story 50 times by now. Legendary tale. Those menaces will surely think twice if they ever see you again.
@@jeffh7021 I’ll second this! We use our Milwaukee tools in our automotive shop. I have this model air compressor. It has filled my 33” tires time and again. Also in our shop. Very pleased.
@adams2984 I'm still in awe every single time I use it. Kudos to Milwaukee on that one. They nailed it.
I love that idea and will check it out. I really enjoy using Milwaukee tools.
they sound like a game changer.Pity i just spent hundreds on putting in a ARB one! :(
@pauls4708 They make an excellent product as well. If I was doing a build and didn't know of or already have the Milwaukee, I would most likely install an ARB system as well.
We have some stations here in Sweden with a preset pressure, set it at some number and it will beep when it reaches that setting, very helpful and convinient way of pumping your tires...
your voice hasn't changed
I remember this petrol station from the G wagon video
Central Tire Inflators, air cti does inflate tires to preset pressures on the fly. (aussie cti) (air cti)
I bet the lion was behind you looking at you with binoculars😂
You could identify/fix the rattle?
Re tyre pressures - Makita (and no doubt others) make 18V or 40V inflation tools which let you set "presets" and also means you can use it independent of the engine running.
Morrflate offers a compressor with a 4 hose system that you set the pressure and it automatically fills to your set pressure
With ANY of these dual/quad inflation "systems", you MUST have the vehicle on level ground and with nothing (eg: stone) under any tyre.
If you don't follow this rule, the tyres will NOT be inflated to the same pressure.
Michelin also has a nice one with presets i am using it with no issues
👏👏
How young you looked 25 years ago. That was a lovely G wagen.
Great adventure, Andrew, as always. This series seems to be more commercially focused? We realise you need to fund it. We wish you well with it.
Dunno, dude. I’m enjoying this far more than watching him build vehicle one thousand in Oz.
Haha my onboard air compressor stopped just like this and it was also because my exact same breaker blew.
I don’t know if it’s the same for you, but in my case the engine compartment was so heat soaked and at around 36 psi the breaker got so hot it popped . I let it cool and it was fine. I’m not sure if this is an issue with these types of breakers under the hood or not 🤷🏻♂️
I was wondering how Jeremy was doing. Some of the best trips are the ones that just go all squiffy and all you can do is rudder yourself against the chaos.
Genuine question. Is there a reason you leave your vehicle running every time you stop? Diesel thing? Safety thing? Etc… ?
Hi Andrew have a look at MORRflate portable air compressor
Heh, cats of all sizes seem to know when you are trying to photograph or otherwise record them.
Love it, Andrew. A question please, and I do not mean to be impertinent: do you edit/enhance your still photos at all?
What to do in Maun?🤔 5 days? Andrew you must be in your element 😂 is there not something called the Okavango delta? 🤔 and don’t forget the surroundings areas like the Moremi game reserve? Maybe worth a little visit. Tough choice, I wish I had your problem😂
Yes but . . . All campsites need to be booked. Many more than a year in advance! Now can you see the problem?
Well…
Torries just got kicked out of office 😂… after 14 years of lining their pockets and wrecking the country …
looks like there are 4 or 5 days worth of eating of the meal talking about your trip conumdrum!
I live 10 miles in each direction from 2 of the largest cities on the south coast of England. NO signal....
Can you giv me reference to pump and regulator used in your africa build? Enjoy your shows❤
I’m currently in Droitwich and have an excellent 5G signal.
Well done. I'm in Botswana in a remote village and I have a 4G signal. Which one is more impressive?
@@4xoverland Well in absolute terms, it appears that my signal is better than yours! Or does Umbongo-on-the-Wold, or wherever you are, get special privilege in this comparison?
Video should be titled Ranty man makes meal of inflating tires
There is far more to Malawi than the lake, how about Mulanji.
I live 5 miles from the Vodaphone HQ and can't get a signal
Do you prefer solo or group camping trips? I have a desire to camp solo but so many fears...
Those re-settable circuit breakers are very unreliable, I'm surprised you allowed them to install it, get rid of it and install a MEGA fuse if you want reliability
I must try to see if you have listed which binos you are carrying with you.
I have Leitz binos at home. Had them for 35 years. But I don't take them overseas with me. These are Unknown-name brand ones. cheap but quite good.
2 bar is 29 psi. 2.8 bar is 40.6 psi. 3.5 bar is 50.7 psi. Thanks google
Please put a Thanks button for our donations
I can't do that. TH-cam designs their page. Not me. But thanks!
Hi Andrew -sorry to be late to the party. About “set-n-forget” inflation systems, TH-camr POPO_PATTY recently posted a video titled “Off-Road Air Compressor Review: Airing out the facts”. It’s a fairly comprehensive comparison and analysis of several air compressors, including a couple with electronic controls that allow for compressor shut off at selectable pressures. I recommend watching the entire video. Hope it helps…
I just found that video and am watching it now! thanks
Is that chicken still alive though ?

The 'sunk cost' fallacy...
Have you ever run into issues wearing that watch while traveling in Africa?
I’ve got the same watch for I think the same amount of time he has had his (early 90’s), and I get nervous now sometimes in the US. Have you seen the video where he talks pretty much solely about his journey with the Submariner. Kind of interesting and I could relate to his feelings about it.
@@donleamon8653 I'm gonna go check that out, thanks
@@BoatNectar- th-cam.com/video/3UHBHLzM6Cg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=n3vPuLL4gIpLxuYN interesting vid
Hey Andrew, please tell us what attachments you use to connect tablets and phones to the windscreen if you haven't already somewhere else......thanks
RAM mounts. SmallRig also make a good one, that my friend uses with great success.
Amazing you are the best I watch in them countries. But just average in Aus.
I wish I understood what this means... But then it isn't really written in English...
@@tonyjay6457I think he means or at least the way I understand it is, his International videos/trips are great but his content he makes in Australia atleast lately are not as good, maybe because most are just builds at the moment
@@J-P88 Spot on, so many people in Aus do better TH-cam Vids, but ASPW is Awesome or the best IMO in the african countries
Agreed he has never really cracked in Australia , too much compétition and to be honest not much to see .
@@georgeszurbach444 I would like to see him in the Kimberley or Kakadu, plenty of out of the way coast line in northern WA as well
Andrew shows his true colours by not saying thank you to the ladies at the service station. So self focused.
How sure u r? By seeing only what he want to show the recorded video...
Please look in to the carnivore diet or atleast keto or low carb diets and add 10 years of overlanding to your life.
UK Bashing 🤔🤔good way to lose subscribers
Thats all you got from this video?
@@4xoverland I always watch them start to end even the sales pitch but remember you have an international audience. I was going to buy some of your art but the UK bashing has made me now not bother.
Cheer up, snowflake. Don't ever spend time in Ireland if you don't want "UK bashing"!
I love the UK, but what's with all the terrible dental work? And the bad food? Taxi drivers? Sheesh! But I am also disturbed by this bashing. Bashing is wrong. When will they start driving on the correct side of the road? Stop bashing, Andrew. Thanks mate.
I made a video about remote travelling in Botswana and all you took away was the cell system in Botswana is better than it is in the UK, one of the world's most developed countries, means that it hit a nerve. Terrible, isn't it? Botswana has 2.6 million people. I was in the least populated part of the country, and I had signal and so did the people who live there. As for losing subscribers . . . if you are that sensitive, then this is the wrong channel for you.
