Jonty at the 21:14 mark is an absolute genius. Simultaneously lifting and pulling at the same time using a winch and a high-lift jack. What a brilliant idea!
It was so clever that i used this clip on a recovery DVD I produced in about 1998. We just could not break the suction under the RR caused by the cloying mud. We discussed a solution, and Jonty said, "Why not use the hiLift on the cable so we can lift and pull at the same time?"
I love how the range rover visibly rises while they are unloading it on the one camp site! I love that area of the world as well, and its always a great pleasure to go back there.
Excellent stuff Andrew. Thank you for sharing. A dose of nostalgia taking me back to my Series 3 Station Wagon days, 'when girls were girls and men were men'. Isn't it just amazing how we managed to get through that stuff back then without lifts, power chips, power conversions and ice makers. Great seeing some of the kit I had forgotten about! Well done to you guys.
Well done Andrew, good old days This reminds me back in 2009 failed attempt to Vic high country with mates and families on a rental van. Did not had adequate equipment or knowledge back then. We camped near a lake and decided one day will be back with correct equipment and knowledge. Since ran 5x massive trips to all states except WA.
Brings to mind an old phrase from my father, and a quote from T. Roosevelt. Pop's; Experience is what you get, when you don't get what you wanted. 😄 T.R.: Adventure is best in anticipation, or reflection, lest it be too comfortable to be deserving of the name. Great video, Andrew, thank you.
Bring back the old days. The boys getting the vehicle out of the mud and the girls making sandwiches 👍 Brings back memories for me. I’m ready loving these old movies 🎥 👍👍👍👍👍👍 Thanks for sharing Andrew
Good stuff Andrew. Reminds me of my trip from Switzerland to South Africa from 1972 to 1974 in a short-wheel base Austin Gipsy. Nothing electronic, if it broke you could fix it somehow...! Love your shows, keep it going and God bless.
Before Max Trax.🙃Had this happen quite often back in 1980's in 'black soil' in northern Queensland.You had to lift the floor pan up out of it before extraction.
Very nice like the last video.....what an adventure that was ...everyone was so calm....do you still know the folks you were with? Maybe try and recreate this trip in a contrast and similar video....thanks again ❤
Treacherous! Alike this Pan, India has the Rann of Kutchh in State Gujarat almost 325 kms at its longest. The slime/mud/earth when wet is hell. Horses or camels are used to traverse through it.
Bogged? Only in my Toyota's....not since I started driving the GQ...recovered too many since..now I try steer clear of the usual mobs...I value my time, but most others don't. Edited! Thanks for sharing your early footage
Interesting to see how your accent was so much more “South African” back then. No surprise obviously. Really great video. So interesting to see. Do you stay in touch with your friends from SA?
To answer the question the video's title asks, I got 5 US M1A1 Abrams tanks stuck in one day. If you'd like to hear the story please ask. Enjoyed the video.
The number plate is South African. At that time SA had 4 provinces each with own registration plates. The T at the end of the plate stood for Transvaal province.
7 people, self sufficient for 7 days. Including fuel, water, food, tents, bedding, tables, chairs, drinks, clothes, spares and tools. This is all needed. ALL OF IT.

These home videos are so good. Such a wonderful time capsule for overlanding.
Thanks for sharing with us
Absolutely nostalgic. Andrew @ Africa = where the best videos are made. Thanks for sharing.

How much I've enjoyed this story. To many more, ASPW ❤
This is so great to see Andrew! Thanks for making it available to us.

Thank you. Definitely an adventure.
Love the nostalgic view of trips long past, but which helped form who we are today!
Well done Andrew! Keep them coming....
Wow the dedication and commitment for what you do is incredible! Hats off sir!
I remember Jonty from the baboons story🇧🇼 (used to bother you guys at a lodge in the delta) . Finally I have put the face to the name
We just return from the Pan. I had a nice smile looking at this. Thanks!
Andrew probably won of the best you have ever done 💯 back when camping was camping no 12 volt fridge no worries 👍
Well done Andrew, good old days

Great video, Andrew, thank you.
Excellent memories, keep them coming!
Fantastic preservation of memories from wayback. Brought back my own memories of crossing pans in Botswana, and of course there is tha watch again
Priceless memories. 🙌🏼
Did I see Kenny Everett in this vid? Great vid as always, Suzi and I were doing Cameron Corner in our Suzuki Sierra around this time.
Awesome content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

I just noticed how he is holding the compass. Never knew the large ring was for your finger, and resting it on the backs of your fingers.
The furthest I've done,was a quick jaunt to Morocco, always drove to spain for 8 years on the trot.I do miss it.😮
Great memories
Nice this is adventure on its best! Well Done long time ago! ! ❤
Greetings from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 ❤️
Aish, when FUN crosses the proverbial line 🙄😂🙌
Love it
Superb. As usual. I want out.
Howzit boet. Outstanding footage and presentation as usual 🙌

Excellent 😊
Your buddy on this trip looks a lot like Harry from Fire to Fork
Very nice like the last video.....what an adventure that was ...everyone was so calm....do you still know the folks you were with? Maybe try and recreate this trip in a contrast and similar video....thanks again ❤
they were all very close friends and did several trips together, including in next week's episode.

Not a failed attempt. I see it more like a change of plans on the go 👍
Nice helmets. Were you taking the pith??? 😂
Interesting to see how your accent was so much more “South African” back then. No surprise obviously.
Really great video. So interesting to see. Do you stay in touch with your friends from SA?
we do stay in touch. We had a braai with them early 2023 when we were in SA.
@@overland-workshop my wife is from Jeffrey’s bay. Nothing quite like a good braai with friends
Good to hear you’ve stayed in touch

Is the Range Rover registered in the UK, looks like a very familiar number plate! Van the Man, good choice!
The number plate is South African. At that time SA had 4 provinces each with own registration plates. The T at the end of the plate stood for Transvaal province.
Congratulations 🎉 Mr White
Life's an adventure! Range Rover too heavy🤙🏽🍻
25:17 how much stuff do you need to carry???? seriously...
