the way that particular series was set up, pretty much any6thing would have survived and ran. it was dropped dead square on all wheels, so worst case it would have burst tyres or broken some leaf springs. leaving it in the sea, it had no ECU and wasnt running so no engine or electronics damage, crashing into a tree was done so it missed the radiator etc if the impact was misjudged and too hard, even setting fire to it, the fire was confined mostly to the seats to prevent the ignition wiring being burnt through etc. even the wrecking ball only hit the bed, from memory, or its likely the cab would have crushed or been unable to open the doors. set up like that they could have used pretty much any Diesel vehicle from the pre electronics era

NGL, I agree with Jeremy about the shotgun part. Maybe you can give the polar bear one, MAYBE two warning shots. But if that doesn't deter it, I wouldn't expect two more to make any difference, other than leave you with only 1 round to hit an angry moving target exactly at the right spot.
@blarfroer8066
@blarfroer8066 5 месяцев назад
I guess a special forces guy probably has a better chance of hitting that bear than Clarkson does. I still agree though. If one warning shot doesn't deter it, you should probably consider it a real attack and act accordingly.
@vipe650r
@vipe650r 5 месяцев назад
And an angry, moving target the size of a car. I am NOT betting my life on that single shot bringing it down. Absolutely not.
@lloydevans2900
@lloydevans2900 5 месяцев назад
What slightly confuses me is why you would pick a shotgun in the first place as a deterrent against polar bear attack, let alone for actually killing it if you absolutely needed to. I mean, it is one of the largest species of bear, if not the largest: Adult males weighing 550 Kg on average (adult females are usually about half that, unless they are pregnant), though they can on rare occasions reach almost double - the largest specimen ever recorded was apparently just over 1000 Kg. They also have thick fur, thick and tough skin, plus a subcutaneous fat layer at least 10 cm thick. Plus they can run at 20 to 25 mph - so if a polar bear starts chasing you, unless you can run at Olympic sprinter type speeds, it is going to catch you. Given all that, you're going to need a rather powerful gun to have much chance of stopping a polar bear which is determined to chase you down and rip your face off. Some kind of large calibre rifle firing high velocity armour-piercing ammunition would seem to be in order. Something more akin to an "elephant gun", of the type which were at one time used by big game hunters. This could be considered overkill, but if you're somewhere approaching the north pole, thousands of miles away from the nearest hospital or any kind of backup, why would you not want to leave as little to chance as possible?
@blarfroer8066
@blarfroer8066 5 месяцев назад
@lloydevans2900 Canadian gun law, probably. Also, elephant guns are unwieldy and take training to fire accurately. I doubt that any of the guys present at the shoot would've been able to hit a moving bear with any type of gun.
@irradiatedice98
@irradiatedice98 5 месяцев назад

I can’t believe they cut the G&T part! It was one of the funniest parts of that episode, and seemed for them like one of those simply joyous less-scripted moments.

"Modified to take jet fuel" ...You mean... You just put jet fuel in it..? Jet fuel and diesel and nearly identical save for some extra ingredients for high altitudes.. We used to pour the jet fuel from fuel filter changes into our forklifts rather than send it for disposal

"Will it start?" In this particular case is the dumbest possible question one could ask. It's a Toyota Hilux, there's essentially nothing you can do to a Hilux to make it unable to start short of depriving it of air or fuel. Great video as always.

I'm guessing that most viewers don't realize that "jet fuel" (aviation turbine fuel, commonly known as ATF or "avtur") and diesel fuel are essentially the same, so diesel engines can all run on jet fuel and gas turbine engines ("jets") can run on diesel. Jet A1 is the most commonly used specification worldwide. JP-8 is basically the same thing but with more additives (for corrosion inhibition and to lower freezing point) and is the standard fuel of the US military... including all ground vehicles.
