You’re welcome! I’m glad I could help.

It was ridiculously windy while I was filming the talking part too. The sound from the phone would’ve been ruined.

Thanks!

Great comment!

Like a Swiss army swing set… 🤣

If you get a freak nor’easter that dumps a foot of heavy, wet snow it’s probably a good idea to get some of that weight off though. 👍

You’re welcome! It’s always difficult to find information on off brand items like this. I’m glad you found it helpful.

I thought it would blend in better with the grey shirt.😆

Loving it so far!

Great, but it’s only been like 6 months. 🤣 I actually went with 10’ legs and that’s been working well. Never feels too small but 12’ would be a good option if you wanted a BIG swing set. It just might be a little harder for kids to generate speed.

Great comment! 😉

You’re welcome, thanks for watching! Like I always say, we’re “building backyard fun on a budget” trying to show how in just one little part of parenting, things don’t have to be as expensive as you think.

Definitely! Only doing bi weekly videos makes the RUclips calendar go quick too. Plus a lot of this year I’ve been just keeping up with making videos of things that were sent to me, which is a good problem to have. 👍

I’ll have to try letting it acclimate. Thanks for the comment!

When I was a kid we had this encyclopedia set and on one of the first few pages there was a photo of an albatross that in hindsight made it look way bigger than they actually are. As a result I have a deep seated fear of albatrosses. 🤣

@@FunsizedAdventures could be worse, we could have a giant man called Albert Ross who scares kids

And a bike. 🤣

@@FunsizedAdventures yessssss hahahaha

I’m just glad I finished this video so the older one could go to a new home. 🤣

Awe…☺️

It’s not mapped wetland which is good because I’ve put so much fill back there since this video was made. 🤣

Thanks!

Glad I could help! Update after a year of use: My son is almost 5 and rides with me still on longer rides. (Shorter ones he rides his balance bike) I usually don’t use the handlebars anymore as it’s just quicker to setup that way.

I haven’t had a chance to take the tire off to check. Hopefully this weekend and I’ll get back to you.

@@FunsizedAdventures I ended up getting the bike for my grandson, and no the rims are not tubeless compatible but not worth getting a tubeless wheelset upgrade anything over $275 . Rims are aluminum and 1.25in external width, decent width. The bike is not a lightweight, it's 30.6 lbs. That's the same weight as my large Polygon Vander T7 full suspension upgraded to Gx and a Pike fork. The fork and hubs are steal that adds most of the weight to the bike so I plan on getting a set of shimano hubs 135mm rear spacing for $80 see below link for example. Main reason for hub swap is to get a better top gear. 28 front 14 back is not very high top gearing, this will allow for a shimano cassette 11-32 better top speed and less weight. I believe the spokes will be able to be reused with the new hubs so that will keep the price down and I build wheels so no extra money there. Another place you can reduce weight for cheap is the saddle and seatpost. That kid's saddle is wider than my large adult mtb saddle. I've seen quality kid saddles for around $25 and with a lightweight seatpost together you can drop 140 grams. I'm not sure what the weight difference between hubs will be but I would think about 1/2 a lb. TPU tubes should drop about another 200grams. After all that the bike will be getting close to lightweight. As an example I know a guy that has a steal frame hardtail MTB 29er that is 25lbs. lwww.amazon.com/Shimano-11-Speed-6-Bolt-compatible-cassettes/dp/B006Z0RVQU

Thank you!

Thanks for the comment! While I knew all the little costs were adding up, it wasn’t until I added it all together to plan this video that I realized just how big that price tag was getting.

Thanks Mrs Smith!

🤣 I also let him practice while I just picked up the bow and started shooting.

All it would need is another run through the painter. I wonder if it’s a safety issue though. A double sided target might encourage people to shoot at both sides inadvertently placing them in the path of the others arrows…

@@FunsizedAdventures more fun then

@@brewswithviews🤣

Thanks!

The Amazon listing doesn’t state anything official. My 4 and a half year old rides on it all the time with no issues and like I show in the video I’ve tested it with my 11 year old. 🤣 I believe you’ll run into issues with their size before their weight. Also, having used it for a year here’s an update. The rubber straps that go over the feet have broken because my son loves to really wedge his feet in there. It still works great with just the foot pegs though. Also, the handlebars still work well but I often don’t use them and just have him hold my bars. It just makes the install quicker as I usually take it off when I’m riding alone.

The one I had as a kid was super uncomfortable too. And heavy.

I got them from Lowe’s. I just looked them up and they say they’re made by Adam’s Manufacturing and are currently $25 but most stores around here are out of stock as they usually only carry them seasonally. I hope that helps!

@@FunsizedAdventures awesome, thanks very much for that 👍👍

You’re welcome. I glad I could help!

Thanks

I’ve tried a few different things but oddly enough, I just don’t think I’m enough of a night person to stay up late enough to use the telescope much. Maybe this autumn when the sun sets earlier I’ll try some more. Thanks for the info though!

You are welcome! Glad I could help.

🤣 I much prefer this to any kind of face covering. 😷

Great comment!

😂 Great!

Thanks!

Thanks for the comment and the compliment. I hope you have a great time with your backyard zipline.

Great question! Slackline ziplines always have way more stretch to them than wire ziplines. That stretch is going to make it so once the rider’s weight is on it, it will exaggerate the slope more at the beginning but will also exaggerate the uphill slope at the end so you’ll pick up speed faster but then also lose it faster at the end. I have one set up now and I have it at the same amount of slope as my wire zipline and it works well. That stretch does make heavy riders, like me, bottom out in the middle. I hope that helps!

From the part that sits on your top tube to the bolt that goes below your down tube is only 7.5 inches. I have a feeling that a road bike frame would be bigger than that but you could always measure your frame to check. I hope that helps!

How can we make it -100?

I tried until my back was sore and just can’t seem to get it all the way around.

I purposely wore it for this one. It’s been a while since I’ve repped the Pfam5.

@@FunsizedAdventures I need to wear my Fun-sized shirt but it’s got a hole in the armpit. Due for another one lol

I need to incorporate Safety Dad some more soon. 🤣

@@FunsizedAdventures I’m thinking a Safety Dad movie.
