SJC Deserted
มุมมอง 404 ปีที่แล้ว
I had to deliver a young lady to San Jose International airport on Saturday evening, April 4th. Although I'd heard that airline traffic had slowed, SJC's lack of activity was truly amazing. Said young lady pulled her two bags inside the door and three SouthWest employees rushed to open the closest 'window' to accept her bags, minimizing the number of her steps required. Double amazing. I sat in...

How to Upright an Overturned Truck--"Executive Summary Version"
มุมมอง 2384 ปีที่แล้ว
OK, I understand. Yesterday's truck rollover & recovery video was "TLDW". You'll like this one better since it skips the mundane tasks and emphasizes the highlights of how the professionals righted a large truck that was on its side, diagonally across both lanes of a mountain road. Complicating the recovery was a power pole next to where the cab landed and soft shoulders on both roadsides. If y...
How to Upright an Overturned Truck
มุมมอง 2664 ปีที่แล้ว
When a truck hauling tons of decomposed granite overturned, I had a front-row seat for an interesting demonstration of rescue know-how. The truck, blocking both lanes of the road, landed next to a power pole and power lines so there was no easy way to flip it back onto its wheels. Maybe not an easy way, maybe not a fast way (it took almost 5 hours), but there was a way. A good way. As you will ...

How would you like an "almost infinite" capacity computer hard drive? This video presents a technique to implement a very large virtual disk without resorting to costly NAS (Network Attached Storage) hardware or flimsy "Storage Spaces" software.

Mercury Transit 2019

The November 2019 transit of Mercury. This transit, the last until November 13, 2032, shows the planet Mercury cross the face of the sun. The transit was already underway at sunrise here at longitude 122 West. Initially, with the sun low in the sky, the planet was fuzzy, but as the sun gained elevation, Mercury transformed into the disk we expected to see. The video begins at dawn, showing the ...

Fighting the Bear Fire (November 16, 2018) from the air. This fire, which started around 11 AM, was basically out before dark, due in large part to the aggressive air attack by helicopter, fixed wing propeller, and fixed wing jet aircraft. The video begins with a series of still shots, taken just after the fire began. Once the magnitude of the fire became apparent, video was begun. All shots we...

Great video, very well explained and easy to listen to. I haul my ATV so I don't think it would work for me. But I still enjoyed watching
great video from a small channel !
i think getting a cot is more cost and effort effective although laying a underside insulated plywood floor would go a long way in controling the temp inside the tent...
Mini Solar Tip; You can steplessly dim down a bulge and all other hungry electricity consumers with a 5000W dimmer (7, EUR). I run 5 dimmers in parallel on an 850W inverter. Kettle 2.2KW at 150W runs 12 hours a day, so the water is always hot. The room is also nicely heated. 2.5KW washing machine runs in parallel with dimmed to 200...400W. Iron, dishwasher, oven, electric heater, coffee machine, all internal heating are throttled with me. Videos about it on my channel th-cam.com/video/eC2olbCBhh0/w-d-xo.html The inverter stays cool, quiet and the MOSFETs remain intact because extreme current peaks no longer arrive at the inverter. Now every Mini PV Inverter is enough to sell large devices...
This is a fine idea for a tent camper. You may be able to use a short length of cold roll steel as a roller for you drawer.
Very good video content, presentation, editing, etc. Thanks for not adding music. Creativity for enhancing remote camping, two thumbs up, as I’m on my second truck bed tent and this has given me ideas to improve and build on. Beautiful property you are on as well. Appreciate you sharing this to others who have likeminded interests.
Heighth?
This is an awesome video. You are very thorough with your thought process. Thank you for sharing!
I found out tarp over my ladder rack, an air bed is cheaper and does the same job :D not pretty but aye, in an emergency who needs pretty
I don't know about this roof top tents, I'm 55 and need to head for leak every few hours :D I'll be liable to fall off trying to get to the bathroom at that elevation :D
Stop with all the panning in and out with the camera. It's hard to watch.
I guess I must have missed something. Where did you get the tent and what kind is it? Why is the bottom of the tent stuffed inside the bed? Won't that allow rain to get in the bed of the truck bed? Did the tent come with the awning over the tailgate? How are the risers attached to the truck? You also said you use the bottom as a tonneau cover. Does that mean that you raise it high enough to be level with the bed of the truck? If so how do you do that?
K6XX - It is just the cheapest tent designed for a full-sized truck found on ebay. Was $99 in March 2020. Looks like they are about $140 now. It came with the awning. Search for "truck bed tent" and you'll find lots to chose from. -bottom is inside the bed because that's the way the design works. It is a _truck bed_ tent. -It woks in the rain OK. The tent bottom is waterproof and the truck bed drains, so water does not accumulate. Risers attach to the truck in the holes along the sidewalls. The deck is NOT flush with the sidewalls, since this wouldn't work with the tent. It is similar to a tonneau cover.
3/8" Teflon strips of those plastic cutting boards screwed to the bottom of the draws in line with the ribs of the truck box will work awesome at keeping draw sliding easy n straight
What tent is that?
Wuhan Flu Pandemic - the only person other than Trump to call it that. Was wondering if someone would come up with a deck to go with the tent.
He went a step further and called it the Wuhan Flu House Arrest.
Can’t even watch a simple truck tent cargo bed build video without a childish jab or two about a global pandemic. ‘Merica!
@@iainhmunro I think Numminz was referring to the dummy in the video.
Lmao! I laughed at that dumba$$ comment too. You just know by “bug-out” scenario he really means when those darn ‘socialist liberals’ ruin Murica for him. 😂
Well...we all know its all about control...sorry you don't
Have you tried it in the rain yet?
Wonderfully creative and helpful. Thank you for taking the time to post such a useful video.
Can you think of anyway to provide security for your items in storage area, as, if you left the setup area, your generator, solar battery, etc., would provide easy, quite visible, pickings.
This is a genius idea! I had watched many videos trying to find a solution to lack of storage space whilst camping; there are things that you just don't want to put in the cab. Brilliant! Thank you!!
You're very welcome!
I was wondering what it would look like with the tarp on.😑
Airbedz makes a air mattress that goes around the wheel wells and the bed would be lower and then you just get a truck bed tent done put all the gear in the cab
Can you do a video on your rear window. Is that off a Nissan titan?
Nope. This is a stock 2018 Chevy truck.
What about toilet storage & supplies, & water?
I’ve been racking my brain for weeks trying to figure out a good way to get drawers under a pickup tent. This was a eureka moment. Thanks for sharing!
Well done... so this tent is a truckbed tent just set on a platform... not a ground tent ? Regards
Thank you for the comment. Simple answer: yes. The truck bed tent (see eBay, etc.) fits into the truck bed very neatly, but with the deck installed you get three main benefits: 1. No wheel well humps to deal with 2. A flat surface, which is much more comfortable than the corrugated metal truck bed 3. Storage. Whether in motion or set up for camping, you may store your things under the deck. They don't have to be moved every time you move.
I always wondered why I couldn't just put a regular tent in the back of my truck. This answered a lot of questions. Thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful idea. You are awesome.
Consider a Softopper, it folds down in a minute for full bed excess. It is a weather tight sleeping area, if you build a drawer system it's even better. No set up or take down, just unload or load any gear that doesn't fit in the drawers.
AWESOME 👏🏾 🙏🏽
Thanks, Abimael. Unfortunately for me, I'm actually USING it right now, having been evacuated for wildfire (August 2020--This is not a joke!). It is working out OK. A follow-up video will show experiences on the road--whenever I get a suitable computer to do the video processing.
You are a very creative individual! Me, not so much. Can you please share how you attach the tailgate piece with dowels? Thanks in advance
This is incredibly informative. Thank you!

Absolutely incredible. True Heroes. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for posting this. My whole life I've called Boulder Creek, "Paradise". Thankfully, I'm no prophet. I will say this: I shall never be more impressed with, appreciative and supportive of anything or anyone, than the selfless, brave and diligent men and women of my local fire departments, law enforcement personnel, and neighbors. Except perhaps my kids... But I may have bias. Thank you for posting this fascinating video. Thank you to all the brave folks willing to put themselves in harms way, for the sake of others. If we could just extend that to civics...
Great video. This DC-9 flew literally less than 500 feet altitude above my house yesterday. Me and a friend were working and I couldn't grab my camera fast enough, (and my batteries were dead anyway) otherwise it would have provided incredible video. These pilots are literally like stunt pilots. They had that DC-9 turning at a bank angle I thought not possible for that airframe (though it was probably less extreme than it looked). Thank God they knocked it down within a day, as I was going to start packing up my belongings and loading the car, like last year. The fire started closer to 11:00AM because I could see smoke at about 11:30 and went up on my roof to have a closer look with binoculars.
Thank you for your kind words. You are right: my camera clock was still on DST, so the fire began around 11 AM, not noon. Corrected in description.
