Can't help but feel flexed on. Trying to seal away my reaction.
Dad jokes ftw
Wow🫤
Bravo 👏 👏 👏
Every dad smiled 😃
Looks like the Jazza fans and the Shad fans are truly assimilating
The fact that flex seal unironically halved the penetration of those arrows is actually astonishing, I did not expect that.
well it is rubber.
Dude you spoiled the video with your top comment
@@vanconojl Yeah, rubber is extremely resistance to abrasion, hence why tires are made out of rubber and hence why it is smells, hot rubber stinks.
@Kuurokuro good point, should have learned from by experience by now
@Kuurokuro good point, should have learned by from experience by now
The chemistry between the three just feels very organic and natural.
Just like the bond of Flex seal
@@grip3939 👍
I still miss Oz!
Lots of carbon bonds in their group
The beginning of the Shadiversity Cinematic Universe..
Stick around for the end credit scene 👍🏼
Yep 😆
Will ether be seeing Skallagrim, Metatron, Jason Kingsley (Modern History TV), or Lindybeige next.
Shadiverse?
I'm seeing a noticeable difference in Shad's personality.
He's more relaxed an natural now.
Grate job at finaly finding some much needed rest shad!
Having people help you has really improved your mental health!
Keep doing amazing, I'm wishing you you the best of health
Yeah, glad to see he finally had time to move on from the nunchuck arguments.
@@richerdmeranda7561 Did someone say nunchucks, because I got a lot to talk about if someone said nunchucks
@@shadiversity Never change lord Shad
Lol... Just ignore the haters and nunchucks need not be beaten to death... Er... Again
@@shadiversity really, are numbchunks controversial? I would love to hear your thoughts about this very effective ninja weapon.
loving the new crew. Absolutely understandable that you cant do it all yourself anymore Shad, but the content is still great and the more the merrier
Agree. Tyrent is very cool and funny too. Glad he is on board of these projects
Love how they are both encouraging and bullying Tyrent at the same time, also baldie has that dry dad humor for the older audience, kept having to pause to get the joke and then laugh like an idiot. Makes for a very comedic trio.
The added crew members honestly for me is making the videos significantly better. Not because Shad isn't already amazing, but the extra dynamic you get when adding more quality people is such a refreshing and fun aspect to already amazing content. There isn't a single person Shad has brought on to these videos that I don't like, or anyone who's even a meh. They are all great and I'm excited for this new chapter of Shadiversity.
The Flex Seal keeping the shield together makes me think of how windshields stay together due to usually being two panes of glass sandwiching a layer of plastic lamination. If something like this existed back in the day I could see somebody deciding to make shields that way.
Greetings! It is Philip of Swift III with a new invention! It's called FLEX SHIELD!
Isn't that essentially what plywood is anyway?
Well that's how the informercial said to use it. You have to layer it like an onion, whole shield, and a back layer would hold this really good.
Agreed.
@@NunyaBusiness01L I watch Tod Cutler's channel, and he has had shields that are covered with several layers of glued linen.
You should've flex sealed both the front and the back of the shield. I think you'll be surprised how much better that would hold it together. I'd love to see more flex product testing videos where you push it to the limit, this was very interesting
Considering the fact that only one side used up nearly an entire can of Flex Seal, it's already getting into impractical levels at that point. Of course despite that, I too would have liked to see both sides sprayed with Flex Seal
@@commode7x yea, this, also there are other flex products that can cover more surface area. Flex seal is a spray type of deal that is designed for little holes and cracks. But something like ONE flex tape could easily cover the entire shield and still leave you with more to use
@@PanHanos I keep forgetting that Flex Seal is an entire line of products
@@commode7x I was thinking the same. Flex seal on both sides and also post the weight difference between flex seal and non-flex seal.
@commode7x Same goes for covering the whole shield with hide and let it dry out
Liking the energy of Shad and the crew lately. Good video! :)
I gotta admit, when Shad announced the changes tk the channel, I was worried about the change in quality.
Fortunately, I was kinda right. The quality changed… but for the better! You three really feel like you’re “clicking” together. Shad feels more relaxed, and the new people really helps and Tyranth adds props.
Idrk where I went with this comment, so if it is too unreadable, I’ll just say you’re all great :)
Frankly, I agree. I have no real experience with Shad's earlier videos because I only found this channel today, but I already feel like the three of them work really well together. Bringing three different viewpoints with equal levels of passion was bound to be an amazing alchemy for this channel.
@@Catman_CM I didn't even know he used to do this alone until seeing this video's comments lol
My favorite part was the archery, especially Shad's impressive draw strength and accuracy which dosent seem to have diminished any.
A couple of things on how to improve this test:
1. Use a crossbow for more consistent arrow damage
2. The test should've been to smash the plain wooden one to pieces, then flex seal the pieces into a cohesive shield to match the solid plank with flex seal coat, and then see if the flex seal repair job made it better than a plain wooden shield and at least close to a wooden shield with a coat of flex seal, or if it somehow was even better than that
This new setup totally works. The subject material and the interaction is great.
Guys. I'd love to see you test out different armor coverings. Imagine a shield coated in rawhide vs heavy cloth vs coarse sandpaper vs triple-think flex seal vs metal vs bare wood.
I want to know how they would differently affect catching weapons vs deflecting them, and each of their durabilities.
It would be interesting to see how they affect live sparring (could you test these out under safe training conditions with practice swords?).
Heavy canvas over the wood and the canvas soaked with flex seal. It may impregnate the fibers and give a better result. Also no need to restrict yourself to a single means
these assistants you got are a joy to watch. keep them around
Truly this is the crossover of all time.
Shad looking more and more like a Jedi-Master each day!
Shad remakes the Luke drinks space milk meme
Yes... I remember spraying Flex Seal on Dark Dragons back in 316. Fun times.
It would be interesting to see a plywood-like composite construction with flex seal between layers and around the surface. That way the flex seal might grip more onto the shaft of the arrow or the blade of the sword from the side as they pass through.
That's how chobham armour was made originally, just with steel instead of wood.
Nate really brings the Peppy dynamic to the group
Hey I just wanna say I'm really liking this format of show. It's fun to watch, the dynamic between you guys seems really good, it's very relaxed but still stays on task, and the little pieces of historic/scientific knowledge drops is a really nice touch (it's great for newbies who are just getting into the hobby, but even for more experience sword-community members, it's nice to have little nuggets of "historical review" to refresh our memory every now and again). Keep it up!
I absolutely love these kind of group videos because everyone just turns into overgrown children with swords.
Even though shads health isn't great. He's still making great shots with a bow. Lots of power and great aim.
What’s wrong with him? I haven’t watched in a while
@@megabladechronicles962 he has heart problem(pericarditis). Gets exhausted easily.
I wondered if anyone was going to mention his shooting. Really great skill when you think about it.
The thicker blade of the Katana probably helped it split the wood apart and thats why it went deeper, it worked a bit like an axe I imagine.
Plus possible human error in the edge alignment.
The one thing you guys didnt mention as this was just a basic test. Flex seal has two other things you could have done to help out. First off hide shields and metal shields can be easily coated with it to help increase its already supstaintail durability. While the second one is that you can multi layer flex seal. Coat it, wait for it to dry and coat it again and again till you feel confertable in its thickness or went over bored with it.
I love your attempt at Substantial
@@TheMuffinman191 hay what can i say i heavily dyslexic I'm amazed what i wrote was even legible.
@@kevind3974 you did great 👍
@@TheMuffinman191 YES, i got a win
@@kevind3974 the attempt matters more than the results. Unless you're sword fighting.
Asking the real questions
Lord Shad having his band if merrimen is nice to see. I hope this venture continues to allow this dynamic, and especially Shad's good health
My wife works for Flex Seal. The video is already on the way to the Man, the Myth, the Living Meme.
Halfway through the Video I realized how funny it is that this armor looks so natural on shad you dont even really notice it
I see others have already commented on Shad looking a little different, so I'll try and focus on something else. *checks notes* All I got is that Ty and Nate bouncing off each other in the YT shorts (in one case at least a Literal bounce of a chaos blade) is comedy gold, so seeing that come through a bit more in full videos is a good thing.
That being said this particular video just screams for a Crossover with How Ridiculous. "WATERMELONS! FLEXSEAL! TOWERS! ARROWS!"
Was anyone else expecting them to cut or shoot at the flex seal canister itself 😄
honestly, i think if you had a properly constructed, plank shield with the planks coated in flex seal and then wrapped it with rawhide you would probably have a VERY formidable shield.
Hear that Shad never heard the flextape meme made me feel really young, also good to see that the channel's mantle is held up by a group of good friends
Loved your knight Vs dinosaur video, for a modern day comparison how do you think a nerd with a katana would fare against an emu? (Please don't actually try this in real life)
1 he can hire someone
2, emus won a war against a country
Well, I guess so did goats, toads and beetles. Australia is crazy.
The okatana's blade acts similar to an axe where it's thickness in the back helps wedge the material out of the way allowing it to cut deeper. The kreigsmesser is a flat blade with an edge giving more flat surface to to be caught and not penetrate as much.
I have to admit this one was rather interesting, as a side note this kind of makes me wonder how modern "body armor" fares against medieval weapons...
Modern body armor has a totally different objective than medieval armor along with different levels depending on the expected threat. Some is made for handgun calibers out of kevlar, which a knife sword or arrow would go right through. It's meant to flatten a small lead ball, not an edged or pointed weapon.
Others are made for rifle calibers which are made out of steel if it's cheap or fancy composites which would stop all of the above if hit straight on. Modern armor only covers center mass vitals though because being able to move quickly and fluidly and not being shot in the first place is better than stopping a bullet.
Modern armor is also only meant to work once and then it's integrity is compromised and it needs to be replaced.
@@maximusjoseppi5904 That's kind of the point, the threat has changed and thus the requirements of armor have changed in order to be optimized to 21st century threats.
I just wonder what would happen if we ran out of gunpowder and medieval weaponry came back in style as a result ...
The content is actually gotten better because Shad is talking to someone else more often and its a bit more natural feeling than talking to the camera. In this video, it also feels like Tyranth is the disciple Shad is training seeking the most approval from his master and can't wait to show his progress and his ideas while Nate is the older more reserved disciple getting dragged into the hijinks of the other over eager one. In other videos, Shad still has the solo presenter set up that still works well as it always has. As far as the guest presenter the other day, Shad did a good job picking him to work with. In a way it reminds me of the older videos where Metatron would present east vs west differences like Bushido vs Chivalry and differences in castles on Shadiversity so it was weirdly familiar feeling. You have a presenter that maybe you don't know but certainly seems capable coming on and proving himself with a solo presentation. And the final bonus is the content is getting a quicker turn around too. Shad definitely made the right call here for both him and the channel. The health stuff I can't speak on because I don't know what is helping or not. Hopefully, stepping back gets him either more time with his family or more time to work on the book since he won't be too wrecked by doing 100 percent of the physical stuff himself.
That's a lot of damage 😂
It still looks a bit like a commercial integration, but I tend to believe that it's not.😉 And a great video, by the way! It's entertaining to watch how medieval nerds/geeks have some fun with the equipment and testing it against modern things. Cheers, Shad! And best wishes with the health!
Anything and everything looks like commercial integration.
I’m really enjoying the two new helper guys you’ve added Shad. They seem pretty cool.
I would be SUPER interested to see what RhinoLiner would do for the durability of the shield. In particular with just the front vs front and back being coated.
Flexseal looks really good for sticking stuff together. Try using it to attach metal plates to the shield, and see how it holds up against a pole axe!
This also reminds me of the old Mythbusters segment where they tested the limits of bedliner spray.
Looking back at these older videos, I love how much more chaotic and in sync the bois become over time. It's such a pleasant experience to witness.
Now we def need a rawhide/flex seal comparison. For science!
I think you guys need to do this test again but double the amount used on the shield and on the repairs. Really slather it on there to the thickness of actual rawhide.
It’s great to see you guys having fun
The flex seal lived up to flex seal meme.I mean the shield is still standing despite the amount of damage that was directed at it.😂😂😂
Wait Shad hadn't heard of the flex seal meme yet?
It would be nice to compare flex seal versus hide. How many coats of flex seal would be needed for it to be more effective. The rubber is catching it a bit, so curious if more layers would make a notable difference.
The new co hosts really suite this chanel well. Looks like a whole lot of harmony between you guys.
I think Jon Tron is the one who started the meme.
If not, he surely made it soar.
I've got to say, Shad's hairstyle is really handsome. He looks like a right noble.
But Flex Seal is supposed to be kind of a "first aid for hardware" kind of thing. So, would it be useful for field repairs on a gambeson? Or waterproofing old boots? Can it help in setting up a campsite? Just how "flex" is it? How much easier would Shad's life be if he didn't have to tie quite as many knots?
Wasn't expecting much difference unless it was layered to at least 1cm. However I always wondered about rhino liner for pickup beds as an armour coating.
TV never lies right?
*Adjusts glasses* Well you see...
well if there was ever a good click bait title to go with my morning coffee
I love the new "multipeople" format that you have on this channel, it just feels like a realy good way to keep rythm and attention, and we still have the content we liked
First off, great show to Shad, supporting and encouraging his brothers without upstaging them. He seemed genuinely excited about helping them with their idea!
Second, I'd love to see this done with bed liner. It's a spray like Flex Seal, but the Mythbusters found it was able to make plywood _bomb resistant._ Be interesting to see how it helped against swords and arrows.
I was unsure about the whole crew thing at first but damn I dig it, it’s way more entertaining than a single person can be while still being informative, love it ❤
Shad you're getting calmer as you go. Jazza is getting crazier.
Flex Seal will make the shield waterproof, NOT ARROW PROOF! LOL
It’s only now I’ve realized how good a shot Shad is. Those 4 by 4 shots were pretty darn good.
It's neat to see how he's gone from a stand-in for Shad to beat on a little bit or an off-camera shout to a great presence in front of the camera.
love your guys' vibes, it's so chill but also makes me laugh!
When Shad was making predictions on how the Katana would cut less I knew it was actually flipped especially when it comes to wood. At least that's what I predicted given that woodcutting axes have a more significant angle specifically to split the wood. I just thought it would carry over. But that's just my guess
"Hark! Hark! I stand before thee as Lord Phillip of House Swift! Hear me and marvel upon the sight of Flex Seal!"
Absolutely love the turn around show model style with the shield still on the sword.
You know, now I actually want to see what would happen if they took a medieval made shield, sprayed it with Flex Seal, and then covered that with Raw Hide. How strong would the resulting shield be? What kinda damage could it survive?
The best thing about Flex seal would be you can apply it to pretty much every single piece of armor. On top the shield was only covered from 1 side. It would become even stronger if it gets a full 360 treatment and on top you can have multiple layers of flexseal. And the best thing about it is that it hardly weights anything and yet achieves results. Flex seal would literally be the upgrade armor magic that would have been as much of a key player as bronze compared to iron and later steel.
I'm enjoying the crew and the more laid back Shad.
The best part about rubber applicants like Flex Seal is that you can build up layers.
So you could continue to work that shield until there was an inch of flex seal there.
I think a sandwich, with two wood layers and seal in the middle, would be a more solid construction.
I can't help but worry about Shad's tent budget if they have to stand up to swords to be considered durable enough
Considering that was only 2 coats, and the commercials have that little disclaimer saying "Applied several coats at half an inch thick" I think it did it's job and held up like they said.
Well, Demo Ranch did "Will Flex-Seal stop a bullet?" and now we have the sword and arrow equivilient.
Anime title : I reincarnated with flex seal as my cheat
I love the dynamic between these 3 and the camera
I've never seen anyone draw a bow quite like shad does. Of course I'm mostly used to seeing folks use compound bows, but even when I've used a recurve I don't remember anyone drawing like that.
It is a technique to help with the high draw weight.
Honestly it would be nice to see a revisit to this topic but using the various flex seals products aside from the spray like flex tape and the liquid can as well as seeing the difference in thickness to see how effective it could be.
Love all this content and this frequency. Keep it up gang!
For those that weren't around for the original flexseal commercial the "i cut the shield in half" was a perfect meme reference. 👌
Loving the new dynamic that's brought by having the other guys in the video.
This whole thing feels like an ad, but I don't mind because it's so awesome
this is one of my favorite videos you've filmed recently
I'm thinking the Flexseal might be better applied on the back of the shield.
Looking at the arrow damage on the one without the Flexseal that's where most of the splitering was happening
Just a helpful pointer- (I couldn't hear your name over my screaming toddler, I'm sorry, but) guy in the red shirt, you're dropping your bow arm too fast after releasing your shot- hold the bow steady after letting fly until you hear the arrow strike, then drop the bow. You'll find your shots bunching up a bit tighter, more often. :)
the new videos that are almost episodic in nature are lovely! keep up the good work shad & crew, this is awesome
This was fun - it shows you're having fun with this.
These fine gentleman have taught me absolutely nothing about anything but it was entertaining nun the less. Cheers!
This must be the channel where people have the most fun making the video!
I love when Tyranth(sorry if i butchered that) starts smiling like a little kid and you KNOW its gonna be a good one
This flex seal test was rather fun, I enjoyed watching you and the squires hacking and shooting the shields
I'm curious if flex sealing a wood bow would increase the resistance of the draw increasing the power of the shot.
Aaaaah Shadiversity with my morning coffee
It's cool that you can still give a second chance to the shield with that
Gotta say, I didn't expect to, but I'm really enjoying seeing Nate and Tyranth on the channel
Like any good Lord, Shad has two faithful knights at his side now.
I hope that we see a new flex seal commercial with Phill wearing armor, all because of this video
Oh man its so fun seeing their interactions between each other
Thank you, for doing this, I have always wanted to see this done since the ads for flex seal came out.
I love the fun vibes given off in this video...
please do more videos like this your chemistry is great and is nice to see u all have fun
I’ve been watching your videos all afternoon and evening. I haven’t had such a good time watching RUclips in a long time.
