Henk, cut those silly battery clamps off the compressor wire, fit a red Brad harrison, then fit a red Brad Harrison outlet point on the front of the vehicle.

That way you dont need to open the bonnet to inflate.

I have Brad Harrisons on the front and rear.

Helps, especially when inflating the trailer.

Thanks Manny!

That is actually a great idea!

I already have the BH at the back for towing a trailer. Might just as well use it. Will also, like you mention, bring it close to the trailer.

Where did you put/hide the one in the front?

Indeflate is the best way.
I was one of the first to use one.
Great product.

The 4 pipe one is a bit stupid though...
I agree with you.

Not the cheapest, but makes life so much easier. Helps a lot with inflating as well.

The one big advantage of the Indeflate, is you don't have to crouch next to your tyre while deflating.
You can deflate while standing.
These guys who prefer other deflaters clearly enjoy crouching next to each tyre - like peasants...

This true. Gives you the opportunity to see how the others do it. :lol:

I like your idea, should have added it as another method. :lol:

Thanks for the feedback on the video and glad that you do enjoy it.

Timing is a challenge, deciding what to show and what not.

My latest video is now up on YouTube. In this video I try to focus a bit on people who has never been on a trail, but want to test their 4x4. Things they can consider. Hopefully I was able to raise valid points.

Ok, a video that is a bit different. I also had to make a Kruger Park video, like many others do. I did however try to capture they camping life as well.

The link to the video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMdlZ86J1qQ&t=887s

Now, a question that some might ask, why on earth put a Kruger video between the 4x4 videos. My reason for this is that you buy a vehicle and then you have a lifestyle around it, sometimes it is also not only about the the vehicle, but the destination it takes you to. I want to encourage people to use your vehicle to its full potential, and maybe, just maybe, I can get someone who only drives his 4x4 in game parks to take it out on a trail. That will be awesome to me.

I think, as a Youtuber, you need to cover the full spectrum of the Outdoor Lifestyle.
I've watched dozens of 4x4 YouTube videos and have little interest in seeing another.

If you look at the 4x4 Action Group - we cater for the "Off Road User" be they 4x4'ers, Off Road Campers, Overlanders etc....

You need a broad appeal...
