GroundWork 8 cu. ft. Dump Cart - ESSENTIAL MOD & Review

These yard carts are awesome and much easier to move a lot of weight with than a wheelbarrow. I saw that it advertised hand towing as well as ATV towing and thought that sounds great! Here's a quick review and an essential modification to keep your yard cart in better shape than mine! Use pressure-treated 2x4s for the railing and pressure-treated 1x2s for the vertical supports. Parts list: 4x C...

Aquaquest 10 x 13 ft Guide Tarp & OneWind Ridgeline - Overview
Просмотров 4653 месяца назад
I needed a group shelter for canoe and kayak camping. Packability is important, so I decided to spend the coin on a Aquaquest tarp. 40D Silnylon with plentiful attachment points, high quality stitching and seam taping. 10ft by 13ft. And a low Impact coloration. Exactly what I was after. The guyline tensioners and OneWind ridgeline really add to the overall ease of setup. I highly recommend them...
2005 KTM 640 Adventure R - Overview
Просмотров 2,1 тыс.5 месяцев назад
Barn find at 4400 miles and 20yrs old. Last revision of the legendary LC4 ADV bike. 340lbs, 55hp, big ass dirt bike. Note: If buying an LC4 based bike, avoid models with black engine covers. The ones with grey, shown in the video, have upgraded high-flow cylinder heads. This increases oil flow to parts of the engine prone to failure in the earlier (black engine cover) LC4 models.

2002 Big Bear 400 4x4 Green. I needed a SMALL, 4x4, work-capable ATV. I was set on either a Honda or Yamaha. An old Big Bear 400 popped up on marketplace with 441 miles on it. Listed for $2100 with a plow, it was solely used for plowing a small driveway and annual hunting trips. I negotiated to $1800 and truly got a creampuff condition ATV.

1977 Grumman 17 Double Ender Canoe - Overview

If you look up Grumman Canoes you will find "Marathon Boats." Sadly these are no longer made to anywhere near the same quality as Grumman did back in the 50/60s/70s. This model has the deep keel, standard 3 rib support, and two seat layout. The previous owner never touched it and let black mold grow all over it. The decals suffered the same neglect and flaked off long ago. I wanted something to...

Kelty Backroads Shelter - Review/Walkaround

Awesome addition for camping, removable and more versatile than the attached awnings I have found. Takes a few mins to set up and take down though. With proper guylines and pegs it is a BOMBER awning for downpours and storms. Heads up poles are fiberglass, so that’s where they cut costs.

Hi good morning sir. Please I saw you RUclips channel about the Yamaha big bear Bick I will like to ask if I will get the complete engine to buy
Bought 1997 Honda Foreman 400 4x4 this summer put the same tires on it like them so far do great in mud see how they do in snow
@@williampennington5307 They should fuck shit up pretty hard. Mine do.
Looks like it's in perfect condition. I'm in the marked for one myself, but good ones are pretty hard to find and many spare parts are not available anymore. Looking specifically for an early model with low mileage. Need it for next season, so I'm not quite in a hurry yet.
Yes, it was barely ridden. It has just over 10,000 miles and plenty of scratches now. I wish you good luck with your search. These are rare birds, let alone in good condition. These were made during the all-time glory days of KTM and are still hard to touch even with modern-day bikes.
@@rippinrogers I believe there's nothing like it "out of the box" out there on the market. It's a true adventure bike. Incredibly light, 30L of fuel, 625cc, solid suspension and rally fairings. Only alternative to this motorcycle would be to modify a dirt bike.
One WIND, One WIND NOT WHINED😊
@@travelingtiv makes more sense
@rippinrogers haha true! Good one
I have a ‘07 great machines Watch your fuel line ,mine went bad ,carb float stuck open- fuel in crankcase and air box what a mess Replacing carb a oil should be good to go Should replace fuel line every year
@@mrj10101 Hmmm no issues on my fuel line and it's an OEM 2002 fuel line
I owned a big bear 400 about 10 years ago. I’ve been kicking myself ever since for selling it. I just recently picked up a 03 that is in excellent condition and I’m really excited about decking it out to suit my needs. I have a couple questions if you don’t mind. How did you mount that storage box up front and where did you buy your skid plates from? Thank you and great video!
@ ricochet makes the skid plates. Underneath the Apache case there are U bolts holding it to the rack. Lot of people will just use self tapping screws and screw it right into the rack, others will have a quick release system.
@ thank you!
Is this a footshift or what and what if e start dosent work is there a pull cord or kicked starter
@@Mtb-for-life406 Yes it's a foot shifter. It has a pull start backup for the E-start.
@rippinrogers sweet it's a sweet bike man
@ Thanks. I love that machine.
@rippinrogers I have a 97 polaris scrambler 400 2 stoke she's rowdy but I'm trying to get a bike like urs in rough condition to rebuild and play with
Thank you - sturdy compact tent
Northrop Grunman (merged in the 90s) exists today as one of the largest weapons manufacturers in the world.
@@NickleJ yessir god bless the 🇺🇸
Excellent video, thanks! Did you peg the inner tent out first at the foot end, then peg the fly separately? This is an option in the Hilleberg videos for pitching, I have started doing it in my Nallo 3, improves interior length and floor tension.
@@fathampeak I did not but I've never had an issue with the floor length or tension in the nammatj 3GT I've used extensively. I'll try it out next time I pitch 👍
Looks complicated.
@@michaelogden5093 About as simple as it gets haha. Everything is tied for you on the OneWind
How did you get the green. Cant find that color
From a Klr650 owner point of view, that's one beautiful bike 👌
@@rustytanks thanks big dog.
we bought this grill but we are having trouble getting the green propane tank to attach to it. is there some trick to get it to thread?
No should thread in easy, check tank threads for dents or misalignment.

just bought one and noticed you put the steak on the griddle section in the middle. I was thinking it'd cook with more flame-taste on the open parts along the edges. Maybe not though:)
Thanks for the video. Ive been wondering how those saddle bags would fit the Tdub
Dangerous to use rocks for ballest .use water in jugs
No danger with those rocks PAL.
Thank you for choosing our gear. Looking good!
Decent bike but the tires don't handle gravel that well. Get on a lot of gravel and wipe out like i did a few times. 🧕
Yea, swapped em out for Knobby Knics and it fucks hard now in all terrain.
Just bought this same sled for $300...Runs well too
Total steal! Nice.
How do you keep the grates from rusting?
They’re cast iron, season well and they’ll be non stick and never rust.
Ah good ol Metalocalypse 👌
Too bad it's a Bull shit Polaris
It’s a 600 XC
Sweet and concise video. Thanks for posting.
fascinating
Great content, looks delicious! Perfect medium rare.
▪️ Have you seen that cargo bike Dost will put out next? It's looking pretty slick, but it's 5k... I'd probably go for the airel rider Kepler and save half the money... unless I were a high roller. 🟥
Fine video but you never mentioned the brand name of the pot???? What’s up with that.
Fire Maple
@@rippinrogers thanks.
Were they smooth at very high speed? (No vibration or balancing issues?)
Yes, no issues at 95mph
10 miles eats up 40% of battery? So it gets nowhere near the advertised 120 mile range? Seems more like 25 miles tops
Nice profile name haha! So 10 miles at max assistance on hilly terrain are up 40% of one battery. I get about 40-50 miles on max assist on hilly dirt roads. I could see this bike easily going 100 miles + on pavement, on assist 1, in non hilly terrain.
@@rippinrogers ahh yup, I figured Dost bikes were lying about the range, just didn't realize how big their lie was, thanks for the information!!!
@@dixienormis3614 I don’t think you understand what I am saying. It will go the advertised range using two batteries. The 40% was reading one of the batteries. Their measurement is based on ideal conditions and lower pedal assist. Overall it’s an incredible bike.
@@rippinrogers thanks, can it pull well up hill in the woods? I see the suspension kinda looks like basic on it, but wondering how well rounded it is, no good reviews out there on these bikes
@@dixienormis3614 it will give you 20mph on any dirt roads uphill. The bike is a rocket, or a long range low speed e bike. Commuting vs dirt road exploring is the difference
That sounds beastly loud, but I’m sure it’s not…..how would you rank the noise level?
It’s pretty quiet. The drill is almost louder than the generator
What are you averaging for total run time? I plan on basically just running lights in my cabin. My 1000 watt would go 12 hours w .7 Hal tank. I’m hoping this one is somewhat close to that.
I have not tested it. It advertises a 7hr run time. A more traditional type generator may be better suited to you than this one that’s encased in plastic. You could add a larger gas tank to the older style ones easily. This one not so much
I did have a question about how the bike fits you . I am 6 ft tall , and I'm wondering if this Drop would be a good fit as compared to the Kope .
I am 5'9" and it fits me great. I think youd be fine on a Drop, but you could also go with the Kope, which is a tad large for my height.
how many mm wide is your gas canister please.
Hey bro you got your money's worth already
what are you going to replace the Continential's with?
Likely a Load range C or E tires in the same size. Options are limited in C, Grabber ATX or BFG K02s, but would be a more comfy ride while being sturdier than these SL rated tires. If i do go with Load range E, I think itll be too rough of a ride. Well also see what sales are going on in the spring.
@@rippinrogers ... agree, Load E would be to stiff. But, if you don't need anything more than the SL, then stick with those. It's not like you can (or should) overload ur vehicle anyway.
@@biz4twobiz463 Thats the thing thats a little odd when using the SL XL C D E F rating to compare. I've seen load Range C tires with a 113 load rating. And then these tires in the video are SL rated and have a 115 load rating. So while both are above the stock 108 load rating, the C range tire, which I would assume is capable of carrying more weight than the SL tires, is rated to carry less. If I were to gt a Load Range E tire the load rating will likley be 118/121, all these load ratings are at max tire pressure and i doubt ill ever run any tire over 40-50 psi.
@@rippinrogers ... yes, it's very confusing and weird how they rate the tires. Maybe the unicorn tire for you should be a Load D. haha Well, good luck either way.
You wasted 24 seconds of burning fuel by not having the pot full of water ready to go.
Nice sled. I love the edge x. I have a 2002 blue and yellow 800
helpful. thank you!
Man, you got that one running nice ! Great job !
I’ve owned two old Arien snow throwers in the past, they are beast ! Very cool ! Thanks
Thanks man! Hope you’re doing well.
Did you climb up the slide, or get to the peak along the ridge? Planning on skiing it this year and wondering about the approach
I hiked up the north slide this past weekend. There’s no snow there yet and I can confidently say that this was the only time I’ve been legitimately scared hiking. Hiking that slide makes the flume slide look like preschool shit. This was my 32nd 4000 footer and that was the only time I legit thought I might die on a hike lol
Amazing Video!!
I would use an "emergency blanket" (1$)... cut it to size. And then wrap it around the pot and use a bulldog-clip to keep it in place, just above the handles. There you go, wind resistance and heat reflectance at 12gram weight. Thank you for this setup tip!
I just use some foil from kitchen, $0.01 I guess :) . And I get to not ruin an emergency blanket.
A pot like the one you used, I’m assuming it’s a Fire Maple brand is about $18.XX now on fleBay....great vid of a more frugal JetBoil alternative...
Great video.Thanks a lot !!!!
Thanx for the Upload; A really cool pot I'm thinking of getting - I can pick one up for $15 right now from eBay UK Looks to me like the physics involved are pretty similar to the Jetboil in that the Heated Fin Construction helps to enhance the transfer of heat?! However my Pocket Stove is slightly different to the one shown (mine has 3 folding pot supports not 4) - so I'd be greatful if anyone can tell me the internal dimensions of the base? (to know whether or not mine would fit?) ty :)
It wouldn't have to fit inside the heat exchanger ring, just does on mine. Exact same principle as the jet boil yep!
Was the approach brutal?
Great video. I just subscribed 20 , like and support
Hi man. How id the tent performance under strong winds? I'm thinking to use it in Patagonia, but I guess Terra Nova does not test its tents in wind tunnel, at least they do not make it available.
