Checking in from Bristol PA. I had no idea Fleetwing made vehicles like this. Thank you

Got me at “THE REAL MAD MAX” 😂

Toyota Hilux be like: "Wow grandpa u might be large & luxurious in the Congo, though I doubt u can survive the worse conditions at acceptable prices. :P

Just finished binge watching The Wild Thornberry's when this popped up in my feed! Loving the vintage ComVee!

They've done an excellent job with the reconstruction with new materials, but there's part of me which kind of wishes they could have just built an entire new buoy frame base, too, and had it for comparison to the stabilized, but preserved, original buoy in the condition it was in after recovery from the sand. When dealing with a large enough artifact like a museum ship some level of restoration and new metal is needed to keep them afloat and intact in their restored condition, but so much of this is new metal and the scale of the project is relatively small by museum ship standards that like I said I'd almost be able to have a replica available for viewing, and then next to it under cover and preserved with photos documenting the find, degradation, and recovery the remains of the historical buoy.

11:46 - Wait, wait wait, you mean Herbie floating on water WASN'T JUST MOVIE MAGIC?! BUGS USED TO FLOAT?! As a longtime lover of VW Bugs (thanks to the Herbie movies) this video is one of the most delightful things I have ever discovered, I'm so happy I stumbled upon your channel! What's especially fun is that my 2004 VW Bug (named Toothless after the dragon from the HTTYD movies) always does amazingly well in the snow, and this year I haven't even had extra weight in him and he's been cruising along as well as any big pickup truck on snowy roads! He's also a manual transmission, which definitely helps with driving in the winter. (also I love that there was a Mini in Antarctica too! My mom drives a Mini!) Anyway, thanks for the super fun video! 😁

Its basically an early 5th wheel rv and probably way cooler than a modern one

I just watched a video about the predecessor of these vehicles and here I am for this

My father worked on some of these luxury PBY conversions at the Lockheed Aircraft Services Co. at Ontario, Calif. in the early 1950's. He used to fly in them from Ontario to either San Diego Bay or to the Salton Sea during shakedown testing. 9:37 looks just like my mother back in the day. She's now 97 years old.

Perhaps my memory is playing tricks on me, but I remember reading [in the 1970s] about a similar rig made by Studebaker in the 1930s. That one had separate truck and trailer components. I imagine there were other "great white hunters" needing" portable accommodations in that decade.

Kind of reminds me of the Convee from "The Wild Thornberries".

When you say "car ferry" it sounds like you're saying "carfeddy" ... car fentanyl is a new thing.. and we call fentanyl "feddy" in the U.S.

wonder was the trailer built in Bristol township or the borough which was industrial on the Delaware river the township did late 50s have industry and part of Levittown but till Levittown it was mostly very fertile farms just north of Philadelphia

"Yot"!!!!🤔 Not even google knows that word.🤯 What does google know is how to pronounce the word "Yacht"!😒 ...js🙄

Nae Snow due to fake Global warming?

IH was truly one of the finest examples of American ingenuity in manufacturing. We have a 1950 international M tractor that had never had any major mechanical issues, and still starts and works every time.

Bunker wont stop you paying t.v license either 😂

Just when you think there's no more vintage strange transporters left Calum finds another one lol. Fantastic video coverage as always Calum this one was very interestingly cool.

6:24 old Apple logo and .exe format... could older Apple computers open exe files? Wine existed already for a few years when that rainbow logo was phased out... also, the loading is for "Jungle Yaucht.exe" and the animation is "Jungle Yacht.exe"... is this 2 second transition specifically for me to be confused? not to sound like complaining though, it is fun to find these small details, and it's a great video, I hope You will not run out of these interesting vehicles for a while, I love this series

Attilio Gatti in Italia è praticamente sconosciuto.

Bambu Lab A1 and X1C Great choice sir!

Something like that is in the Louwman Car Museum in the Netherlands

was this when belgian congo was still one of the most evil countries on earth or had they stopoped

He’s back with another wild vehicle heck yeah you love to see it.

The trailers look a lot like circus caravans I've seen from the 50s. A circus is exactly the kind of place ex military vehicles ended up. I wonder if that's what happened to them.

Pretty sure all that ceramic in the baths added at least 1.5 MFT of weight to the machine.

Mmm, yes, quite. One must always be keen on keeping the deadly pollen fevers at bay. What's that you say? My leg's missing? Mmm, yes. It appears a tiger got into the tent during the night.

Jungle Yacht.exe with an Apple symbol next to it lol Oh you, Calum

Of course we get the now standard “Quick thanks to today’s sponsor” that goes on for about ten minutes. What exactly is the point of paying for KZbin Premium?

How do you steer that beast?

International harvester would win sema and the farm/ag shows with a new take on this!!

I get a nauseating whiff of smug jealousy in this tale, the perspectives of contemporary writers...."these were more appropriate for the war effort than for some rich guy driving them around taking pictures"....assuaging their collective guilt from stealing someone's work and property for their own use. "The war effort". Ha. Bet they ended up as beds and baths for some lazy foreign generals!

Well, why not? who says roughing it has too be uncomfortable?

No Huuge ceiling fan like the one on the Sikorsky Helihome... thanks to air conditioning i guess!

Very very interesting i'v seen them before but love the bit of film of the tractor unit.

you know things are getting serious when historical footage of hitler in his car shows up

Amazing video as always! Feel like we're lacking so much creativity in vehicle design today...

To be clear only the land yachts belonged to Gatti, the rest of the support equipment vehicles belonged to International so the $75,000 confiscated from him was not true, dont know why International didnt send their support vehicles back

Sakhnoffsky spells like 'sah-NOV-ski', there is no "SH" sound in the beginning.

This feels so much like something out of Thunderbirds.

Anyone thinking Furry Freak Brothers?

Sad to see this wonderful story being unwatchable by the terrible amount of commercial messages!

Well done ty

Also, as a vehicle meant to cross large swatches of Africa, doesnt have enough armor plating, or responsive firepower to deal with the locals.

GODS DI, if we could have only taking some of the CRAZY soviets and brought them to america. Use their over the top outlandish sci-fi thinking, and our actually ability to do it. We could have made marvels... the russians sci-fi was great, but bare bones and utilitarian. But add that lavish old school USA flare? *chef kiss*

So what we got so far antarctic driving camper vehicle arctic driving camper vehicle helicopter camper seaplane camper now a jungle yacht, trailor camper vehicle what's next? a train wagon? a refurbished space shuttle?

Keep up the great work Calum. Love your videos
