The Next Journey

1986 and on a road far from home, and the Range Rover breaks down. And cannot be fixed.

Let me try to answer that for you . . . ● Because I don’t know how. ● If you’re talking about this mythical thing called 48V, it’s too complex and expensive. Once valid, these are no longer sound reasons. Enter the EGON DC-Hub 48V. We are in the final stages of testing and will soon release the EGON Dc-Hub 48V. And like all Egon power distributor boards that massively simplify DC installations, the 48V hub also tames the complex issues of installation, 48V alternators, reliability, redundancy and perhaps best of all, the ability for the ordinary bush mechanic to understand it. A world-first.  Yes! That’s what we are claiming. As AI has suggested we put this, “This is not evolution. Its revolution.”

Owning a 4x4 in Africa sounds like a dream—but it comes with real logistical challenges. In this vlog, I open up about the complexities of running and maintaining my LandCruiser Troopy on the African continent. After owning five Troopies across Africa and Australia, I’m asking an honest question: Is it time to let this one go? This isn’t just about one vehicle—it’s about the realities of long-term overlanding in Africa. I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments. 🎙 Andrew St Pierre White 🌐 Learn more at: https://www.4xoverland.com/high-mileage-landcruiser-build-africa/ #4x4offroad #4x4life #overlanding #overlandlife #landcruiser #offroad4x4 #overland #offroading #adventure #toyota

Sometimes, help comes from the most unexpected places. In this deeply personal story, I recount a moment at Oliver Tambo International Airport, Johannesburg, where a stranger—someone I will never forget—stepped in at a critical moment. It’s a story of human kindness, vulnerability, and quiet heroism. This is why I tell stories. Because sometimes the smallest acts carry the deepest weight.

They tried to cheat me. They thought I was just another contractor they could walk over—like so many others. This is the story of Extreme 16—a 4x4 dealership project in South Africa, complete with a test track, big money promises, and even bigger egos. But behind the glossy vision were a group of developers who left subcontractors unpaid and tried to do the same to me. Only this time… they failed. Because I had one thing they needed. And I used it. 🎧 Listen to The Next Journey with ASPW Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/29xZEsDMuj5460PqaNwjJD  Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-next-journey/id1704125356  🌐 More stories, films & reflections: www.aspwexperience.com

Another story from the book Torn Trousers. How I chased a heard of elephant, in the dead of the blackest night, out of our camp to prevent damage that they would surely cause while foraging through the bush. Looking back, I must of been out of my mind.

The story of a YouTuber being sued for defamation of character for a largely negative product review is gathering unprecedented momentum.
