Half Safe: The Amphibious Jeep that circled the globe.
🕑 Added 2023-03-18 20:16:57 +0000 UTCIn this episode I delve into the fascinating yet largely unknown story of Ben Carlin and his Amphibious creation; Half Safe.
We all have wild dreams that we never expect to come to fruition, crazy schemes that in reality would probably end in tears or get us killed.
Well, Ben Carlin decided to actually put on of his ideas into action, he built an amphibious jeep/camper and literally went around the world in it.

Wow what a story! So well put together Cj, thanks very much. Even now with more modern technology that trip seems unthinkable. Amazing what sheer determination can do! Really looking forward to the next one.

What a story. There will always be adventurers - it’s just getting harder now to find new things to conquer. Of course he had to be an Australian!!

Sorry, I'll carry on! Now these boats are the same as Amber and you can live on them and travel around! I mean why? There is one thing having a drunken plan. I once spent three hours with three mates planning the perfect bank job and murder! Don't blame me, it was the Newcastle Brown and Cider that did it! I mean why spend all that cash and time "inventing" something that had already been invented? But well done you for the research and work involved in bringing this story to the screen. Good editing and a good storyline. You're getting good at this. Thank you and well done

I don't know whether you know but someone has already thought of a sea going home. It's called a "boat". The larger ones are called "ships". Believe it or not the latter ones can weigh as much as half a million tonnes and carry everything from iron ore or oil.
