U.S. Navy Mobile Shelter Challenge | Sailor VS
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- The U.S. Navy challenged me to build a mobile shelter as part of their series #SailorVS. I don’t usually do challenges, but this sponsorship was really fun and I learned a lot about want it means to be a Seabee, the Navy’s elite building task force. Be sure to check out the whole series where I go head-to-head against a team of Seabees to see who can execute a better build in a time crunch. Vote for who you think won!

We did a few cool projects with the Navy besides this survival shelter. We got practice vertical welding techniques while learning more about the Seabees, as well as a mystery crate build-off with against an entire team of Seabees. Check out bit.ly/SailorVSBuilding to see those projects!
Cool!
It will be great if you could start including metric measurements in your videos also. for example when you mention 7 feet (2.13meters)
idea for improvement: Just inside on the floor at both the front and back door, make a 3"-4" high lip out of the waterproof tape that folds when down to seal the floor from water running into the shelter. It would involve some creases to fold it right but when the shelter is up, the 2 sides pulling it apart would keep it a few inches high so water wouldn't just run through on the floor.
Navy Vet...great video! ⚓️💪
@@jm98navy Hooyah Navy!
"what's the craziest situation you've had to work in?" "well Bob, one time I had to weld in the rain." I definitely want to join the navy, lol
They have to mop in the rain sometimes.
@@Dot2TheLock l
When that story started i was expecting a raging gun fight to have erupted all around him, not rain
Tents: Am I a joke to you?
Tents take longer to assemble and also have more pieces.
@@jgon12 instant tents (throw tents) are just as fast.
@@Jehty_ think this was more about ease of construction then anything else.
@@Jehty_ oh!! well never used a tent so dint know those existed.
@@Jehty_ yeah but putting them back together is a pain in the butt
Solid snakes box makes a whole lot more sense now
He had a box for every occasion. I've always carried a 6ft X 6ft box everywhere since 1999.
a man is only as solid as his cardboard box
haha - did you guys get a mgs-vibe also from the video chats?
"I came up with this idea.." **builds box
He should patent that box idea. Seems like other people would have a use for boxes too. Maybe for shipping stuff.
Probably needs some type of elevation off of the ground. Getting muddy water in the shelter wouldn't be fun. It also doesn't look like it would do well if the ground was even slightly curved.
We knew we forgot something. Can anyone here build a bedframe for our emergency shelter? 🤦
@@americasnavy I guess you could use the pallets as a bedframe
couple of questions though:
1. how would you keep water from flowing in from the bottom? (maybe have the doors hinge on the bottom?)
2. Isn't that really awkward to carry? (its like carrying a big door around...)
Again...its an emergency solution. And if you trying to find a relatively dry place to be in...here's that piece. The idea(again) is to build something fast and make it as lightweight as possible!
@@ExNotesRec thats not quick though defeats the whole purpose he spent hours making it and used material that isn't easily found in a emergency situation so yeah I'm with idea-ology
@@syn5603 he made long for the purpose of the video...if this takes anyone more than 10-15 minutes to measure, cut and tape I'd be disappointed with the Seabees. And I'm pretty sure that they can find this stuff on the same place they find all the steel and building supplies for all the other things they build.
@@ExNotesRec if they have their building supplies theres most likely a building covering them and if its an emergency situation they wont have there building supplies so whats the point of getting it from where the get there steel if they are making them before hand then your argument is valid but then again why not just send them with a pop up tent thats completely water proof and can be carried a lot easier
@@syn5603 You're right too...but that wouldn't be a challenge lol
I'm reasonably sure that iterative refinements of this design would eventually converge to be a tent ;)
word.
Should easily be able to sell this 90 000$ a pop to the DOD
Absolutely
this NAVY scripted stuff is getting interesting. how many channels are going to do this recruitment ad stuff, i wonder.
it's not just recruitment- you know how much they saved in R&D costs by farming this out to a youtuber for...clout? limitless genius farming for free
The skills you learn in the SeeBees will make you very successful when you leave and you got paid to learn those skills.
@@Dave-sw2dm oh I'm sure. still though, at least DARPA used to pay for their research
At least thier trying nit hard but thier trying
I really didn't like how the navy dude said do you need two body's to carry it, instead of people. Really shows how much they care about you.
I served six years in the Navy (1978-1984) as Steel Worker. I served at seven different bases on six different continents in two different divisions, and for the most part it was great. The time served helped me to grow as a person and learn a lot about the world that I didn't know and understand. Each day brought different challenges and lessons to be learned. It taught me to work well with others and to see that our differences weren't so different after all.
That lesson you learned as a child "Treat others as you would want to be treated" helped me in countless ways along the way.
Hooyah! 🇺🇸
That zoom call was so forced and honestly pointless for the video. Lol
If it was a zoom call at all. I'm pretty sure it was pre-recorded
It's not exactly as if the sw2 was that unoccupied he could answer to video calls whenever Bob felt like it. Those are just to give some background context to the thinking process to the viewer, fake ofc.
"Is there anything that stands out as something crazy where you had to get your work done?" "Yeah, Bob, uh...it started raining once"
Take a drink every time sw2 says Bob now thats a real sailor vs video
Cheers, Bob!
Just send him a tarp from harbor freight 🤷🏻♂️
they even have camouflage patterned plastic tarps at harbor freight.
FILTH 🤣
Am I missing something here, it’s a plastic box held together with tape even the cat flap was taped on. I found it really embarrassing to watch
Would’ve been better if it was some kind of popup tent. My friend uses a tent for festivals with small fiberglass rods that slide in to each other. Probably fits in a 40cm x 15cm x 15cm back. Fits 2 people , waterproof and also completely dark.
This was not it imo
I mean , its portable and easy to carry around, and in case u need immediate shelter, u just pop it and keep on doing what u were
@Sans Handlebars but that requires existing structural materials in the location you set it up in (trees, sticks, etc). The point of this was it's all one self-contained unit. It's just a prototype as well, so in the future it could be made with proper materials, maybe using thin aluminum/carbon fiber tent pole style supports instead of the big plastic sheet in the middle, as well as proper waterproofed Kevlar or Nylon fabric hinges
Its inferior to a tent in every conceivable way. No anchor, awkward dimensions, would catch the wind (bad when resting, worse when carrying). Tape is not all that durable. Door is drafty.
The only real improvement it brings is the fact that it IS corrugated so theoretically better insulated if (and ONLY if) the ends are sealed right
@@Chaoddity Again, it was supposed to be a concept, not a final production model. Create a small single-person tent with assembled dimensions similar to the box and you have a perfect shelter that would probably take up about as much space as a 32oz water bottle, if not less.
Why would you carry a big panel that is 7ft when you can fit a tent in a hand bag that fits more people.
Ok so I am not the only one that was thinking carrying a 7 ft long price of plastic is a little difficult?
well you could cary a bunch you probably could carry two tents i thing you could carry alot more of these
Use Bashas. Tie ends of the material to a tree and you’re done
That not an emergency shelter, that's a box
So the next video im expecting a tinfoil hat
Why do I love how we always repeats “Bob” when he speaks? Like:” Ok Bob, seems good” “‘right Bob u seem smart”
Great job there "Insert Name". You're real smart "Insert Name".
1:07 this reminds me of the ima it started to rain while my buddy was welding on his truck rather than wait he just went through getting shocked the entire time it was great to listen to you’d hear the buzz of the welder then cursing the buzz the curse this went on for 30 min till the job was done hahaha best welding experience of my life
Take your paint booth with you wherever you go... just in case 😋
As a retired HS engineering teacher, I will say that Bob did a pretty good job given the limited criteria. Could he have done better? Sure,but they gave him very little to go on. As great as they are,CB's don't go to work without a plan and scenario.
Good to see you're never too old to play with box forts
We used coroplast in sign making for temporary signs in reality (one of the popular uses) when I worked for and ran a sign company. I have a special knife made to cut one or both sides of the coroplast so you can make those hinged cuts.
I think the cool thing is something like this would be perfect for a fold away Fort for a kid. Instead of having to wait for your parents to buy a new fridge you could use this. I’m assuming a dry erase marker would work great on it.
Should’ve just made it triangular and one side that bends in half. Also make the bending side just hyper extend out and it’ll support itself without the central rib
My thoughts too.
mh, triangle shape is a good idea, but the stackability is compromised by making it triangular, cause you wouldn't be able to have it absolutely flat, the way this thing is.
InaZeaAnaZazi it wouldn’t be flat. But they’d stack fine. Just rotate them opposite ends of eachother every other one and it’d stack even
Yeah but... Then it's just a tent.
@@MrSamwise7 ya, but that is a buttload more hassle than just stacking them when they're dead flat. If you stack 5, it won't matter, but 50? 500?
Not impressed, doubt it would be practical at all in any real life scenario.
Terrain would have to be perfectly flat and clean to lay it down, and the sides wouldn’t be effective in any moderate to high winds.
When I was in the Air Force(2002-2006) in(shepherd air force base, tx & Lackland air force base, tx) technical training school, a lot of my friends were seabees and I have great respect for them.
#sportsmanship
Up here in Canada we use these things called tents. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours and most will break down into an easily managed bundle. They can be ground mounted or strung between tree trunks to elevate them and are available from cheap to Rolex in price. You could have ordered one off the internet and saved us all from this video, Bob, though we never would have met SW2 Priester and his tolerance for your box.
What's your favourite war crime @ US navy?
Lmao i thought the exact same thing
My Grandpa was a seabee in the south pacific during WW2. much love for that division. The difficult we can do now, the impossible takes a bit longer.
glad you liked it! ⚓️
My uncle was too! And well said.
@@ellison2024 the stories i was told, as quaint as they sounded. makes me wonder what horrors our respective seabees saw. one point my grandfather got out of his bunk to piss, which was somewhat uncommon for him at the time in the middle of the night. well, ended up a plane landed on his hut. as a kid i was always like, my papaw is lucky... but only older did i think of the other sailor(s) in the hut. RIP and Thank you to all the great and courageous men (and women) of the seabees
Way to Bob!!! This is a great shelter. Hats off to you and the Navy. I am a retired HT1 (HullTech First Class) with 21 yrs of service.
Nice work Bob! Thanks for sharing the video with us!💖👍👌😎JP
My dad was a Seabee in the 70's. Can't wait to show him this one.
I was a BM in 2008 which is pretty close to SeaBees in the type of work only seabees build more.
I live by a seabees base
I was in the Seabees for 13 years and loved every minute of the suck.
I was stationed at NBVC Port Hueneme, CA. 2000-2003 and worked with the Seabees there from a couple of the battalions and UCT.
My father in law was too! That man can do anything! Definitely my hero 💕 he was on the SS. Kittyhawk
so many youtube creators are partnering with the Navy in recent days (looks like a big campaign push to recrute)... something is is brewing and it doesn’t smell good
One major problem with that design: ventilation.
Great stuff! Awesome share!
cheesy interviews but i guess that was the navy's decision
What's really fascinating is Bob isn't even the first person to try this idea. I know I've seen someone else mess with it before, though they probably wanted more sturdy and permanent structures built out of it as opposed to a box you unfold when the rain is getting up there and you just need to keep dry a little bit.
That's a snazzy refrigerator box you made there. I know some bums in my alley who word kill for an upscale box like this.
They build for those who fight and fight for what they build. Go Navy!
I have heard about something called tents, apparently they are rain proof and some are even storm proof!!! Amazing tech.
they are even lightweight easily portable,fit one person, can be set up by one person and you can scale them up. amazing
This looks like join the navy propaganda with extra steps
That epic gamer moment when you get sponsored by the entire United States Navy 😆
I wonder if this could be iterated for sheltering the homeless. 🤔🤔
the homeless already use an unmodified cardboard box to sleep in, i have seen them in many underpasses and in streets. Not waterproof but free and no tools needed. Poor buggers
I think it's a great-idea.
@TheVirusSoftware Which is why we as people need to do it *ourselves* instead of relying on the government to do everything. Instead of pissing-away countless dollars on entertainment and material goods we don't need, we should be taking extra-money to the communities to help out.
I mean seriously. You probably have $40-50 bucks that disappeared from your wallet last week that you don't even know where you spent it. That could have paid for a couple of these things.
My point is that we don't need the government's money to get things done.
Yes we should stuff people in cardboard boxes.
@@D2Kprime you've got some deranged thinking going on up there.
It can also be used as *Coffin*
What do coffins look like in your area😅😅😂🤣😂
It’s an insane flex to say “my RUclips channel is so popular that the us navy gave me money to talk about them”
SW2 Priester makes it look very scripted lmao
He does but the military in general expects you to act professional when you’re on base from what I’ve heard.
Yea but you he was trying to be professional.
it probably was, they didn't seem to actually be having a conversation, i think they just read their lines with someone reading the other's lines as a placeholder then edited the videos together
His chain of command was probably watching him looking for thing to critique, can't let us sailors get out in public without supervision.
That's because he said 'Bob' for about 30 times.
Almost like a Tent...
That coversation stuff with the army dude was really cringy
I3L33D3D huh? That’s the current SeeBee uniform.
He’s in the Navy.
I like to watch people make things.
I was a U.S. Navy Hospital Corpsman. I absolutely love this concept and video. Thank you Bob.
That thing will only protect you from Karen's spit 😏
"Yeah i just partnered with the Navy- you might have heard of them."
I think you did a great-job Bob. This was not something where you had weeks or month to sit down and mull-over, or test out different-prototypes and configurations until you got the absolute perfect-idea. This was something that came out of the blue (no pun-intended) and you had to come up with something relatively-quickly.
I think you did a *GREAT* job. There are a LOT of uses that can come out of this design. Stay encouraged, and keep up the *GREAT* work!
Great project, I like the idea of showing that the navy does more than just sail around on battleships and submarines, love the thought that went into this my only criticism would be breathing holes because with how it's built out of plastic and the idea of trying to make the entrances sealed can maybe make it hard to get a good airflow so it may get hot and stuffy in there as well but that being said it's a great prototype to a fantastic cause
This shelter is awesome
smells fishy...
... join the NAVY!
I love this as a demonstration of the versatility of coroplast, but as for the specific task, wouldn't a tent accomplish the same goals and be much more portable?
Get a tent lol
most people: put their mics on their shirts
Bob:puts his mic in that fabulous beard:)
Where?
Great design! This similar prototype could be something given to homeless people for a temporary shelter. Speaking as a former Army Infantry veteran you might want to consideration wind. I've been out in the field and slept in sever weather and if the wind is blowing somewhat hard it can make or break a shelter. Perhaps have some kind of tie-downs with 550 cord and tent stakes. 550 cord and stakes are always abundant for service members.
word.
This is a combination of a 'BOXABL' prefab home and the design techniques used by Paul Elkins (who makes campers and such out of stuff like old campaign signs)
Fun to watch.
This is a perfect challenge for Paul , the one who makes alot of homeless shelter designs
This would not work for the navy. They could use the pop out poles that are used in modern tents and simple tarp and create something lighter and smaller. I'm sorry dude, you missed it on this one. Also on length it is not man portable as you're asking a sailor to carry a door sized block on his back.
May have to make one of these for the 6 y.o. when she wants "alone time" to watch her cartoons on her tablet.
Did anyone else watch this because they kept getting this as an ad and seemed interesting?
My grandpa was a seabee at the end of WW2, lots of good stories
Hooyah grandpa!
That was a nice challenge, and I wouldn't be surprised to see the CBs adopt your design.
It was designed for only one person but I'm sure the Navy will find a way to get two men in it.
My great grandfather was a sea bee in the phillipines during ww2. My grandfather has the zippo lighter that his dad carried while in the phillipines. Pretty badasa
Hooyah! 🇺🇸
what was the total cost!!
Why not just make a triangle shape?
Love this videoooooo ❤❤
we love the youtubes
All these people taking it way to serious with what you should’ve done and that a tent is better 😂😂
Congratulations, you built a refrigerator box.
Because this will protect you😂
I do know that this particular project was meant for the navy but it could be a great solution to homeless people who live on the streets and have no where to sleep during rains and storms it would give them some kind of protection from the harsh weathers and i hope that one day i could make these and distrubute to the homeless people in my country
Thanks alot bob for the great idea
Godbless😊
I'd wrap some insulation blankets on the inside for winter shelters
I've actually watched some videos from a guy who made homeless shelters out of coroplast and another where they made a bicycle pulled camper, the stuff can stay pretty warm if the seams are properly taken care of. Most of the materials came from old election signs.
I was actually thinking the other way. There needs to be better airflow or you are going to be super hot in a plastic box.
Bob vs THE NAVY. Somebody is getting an ego. LOL. JK. I think it would be more fun to have the ILTMS team vs another. Josh would make fun of both sides with his dual loyalty.
Viable product or not, gotta be super cool working with the Seabies!?!
2:02 sounds like a tent
I just got separated. I just wanted to watch youtube. WHY CAN I NEVER ESCAPE THEM!!!
Pretty fantastic work, Bob!!! Nicely done! 😃
Just one idea... If it was possible to fold it even more they would be able to carry it in their backpack! 😉
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Maybe next season…
@@americasnavy Did you like the idea? 😃
This week, I make a cardboard box out of plastic...
I don't mean to disrespect the work you did, because I do think that shelters built with corrugated plastic, zip ties, and duct tape have potential uses where they are a great option, but this goes to illustrate a very important point. Always do your research, because very smart people have probably encountered your exact issue years before you and have developed solutions. In this case, tents and tarp shelters are a clear solution to the problem of a temporary, portable single person shelter. I would highly recommend that you check out Paul Elkins channel though if you want to develop the idea. He's built bicycle campers, homeless push cart shelters, and even boats out of corrugated plastic and he has it down to a science.
Is that for the homeless veterans in the US? The US government does really car much for veterans.
A mobile shelter for one that can be carried by one person and which is water tight...like a..tent?
Would love to see a full size build!
Maybe next season…
Ruh roh raggy rawr rimes
Really cool Bob, kinda similar to how folding dog kennels work! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Bob, long time fan. Good construction but unwieldy.. Because of lateral length. You set a great example and mits... keep on building. Cheers.
My man engineered a box
You need to look up the port they made for D-Day to get supplies to shore. That was something else.
@I Like To Make Stuff no need to re-invent the wheel really. If you go back to the Mythbusters episode on tornadoes where they made a one man shelter that could withstand the wind off a 737 motor and take a pretty hard strike. I would like to see how you would expand on their concept and use something like tyvek to add water resistance.
challenge accepted
wow cool box
What is the waterproof tape? How is it for longevity?
Close up the doors and it looks like it won't breath. A problem not just for suffocation, but also humidity buildup.
Nice Job Brother👍
Thanks for doing this challenge. My father was in the Seabees and his 3 brothers all served in the Navy, so it's a proud part of our family history.
Hooyah! ⚓
