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.

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
