I thought the amount of trouble I'd get into with an electric dirt bike on its own would be too high 🤣 add the nods in and it's a new world of shenanigans
You're going places with this content. Im thoroughly impressed by your cinematography, your subject matter expertise and dedication to your craft. I'm going to be looking forward to see your channel grow.
For comms look at the BTECH BS-PTT. Its a little bluetooth PTT for radios. I think its made to be worn as a bracelet but you can put it on your handlebars
So I watched this a few times, read the comments, and have come up with the following - although I did end up using the Fox V1 so if you are using another helmet, you may not have the same experience. I set it up the same way in the video - two bolts. There is no way adhesive would work with this set up - the Wilcox shroud has three points of contact that really don't line up with the surface of the helmet - you won't get much holding area. I used two 1/4X20 socket heads and 1/4X20 tee nuts. There is no penetration into the interior shell - if you hit hard enough to have to worry about the bolts, I think you have bigger problems. I ended up using a Noisefighters Panobridge mount with two old PVS-14s - one green one white but your brain blends the colors so it is all one tone. I am astounded how well this set up works - so much more field of view than the 31's although a lot heavier. No way I would be as comfortable off road with the 31's and my helmet lol. Now I am looking to upgrade from the e-ride. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks man. Definitely was looking for additional info on your helmet setup! More info on how you wire your lights would be helpful as well if you need video ideas 😉
Guz, I'm always looking forward to your work but this channel is on a whole-nother level! The educational value of this has such a wide application, plus your production and art style make it so enjoyable to watch! Keep this up dude!
You should put the screws in from the inside that way you don't have to worry about the length as much. You could even use countersunk screws with wide area washers to keep the inside of the helmet as safe as possible
Ive worn a bitwell gringo with the USGI ratchet rhino mount. It worked remarkably well until the ratchet mount broke. It's basically a vintage style minimalist helmet
I have a similar setup but using the panobridge for mine so I can articulate to the sides vs up. Also check out crye precision battery pouch you can put Velcro under the goggle strap area on the helmet and the goggles will slide over it and it will be streamlined and easy to take off when not needed.
I have seen some preparedness videos covering overlanders and trucks but I have seen very few videos on sedans. There are a lot of people who have a daily driver of a sedan because they want the better gas milage than a truck/suv. It would interest me to see best organization practices and whatnot in sedans. Like trunk space optimization while still having room in the trunk for life.
Maybe because sedans are not as versatile as other type of vehicles like trucks, suvs, and vans. I think if you are trying to get a car to kit out for this kind of thing it should be a wagon or hatch style car. Unless there’s a sedan that’s known to be able to handle all kinds of things cough p71 cough p72 cough.
@ well that’s why I think it would make for a good video on this channel in particular. He showed his dirt bike load out on dirty civilian. Dirt bikes are also super limited on space more so than sedans. Obviously compromises were made on the dirt bike so as an extension what does it look like on a small car like a Sentra or Corolla.
@@Eagle52525Make it a "run what ya brung" experiment. I like it! I'd start with just the basics of good PM. Then add extra fluids of every type on board. A set of hand tools. Pioneer tools. Limited slip diff, traction boards, and snow chains to round it out. I learned how to off-road in an 82 Honda Accord hatchback. It taught me the value of judicious use of momentum - not so much that I broke or buried it, and not so little that I got stuck. It's amazing the places I went.
@@Eagle52525 I've seen enough situations in which people needed to get onto the shoulder and the grass in order to get around a crash or downed tree, etc. Also snowy roads. My standard is that my vehicle commutes efficiently in good times and can drive over a curb in an emergency without getting high centered or stuck. Our Grand Caravan could, but not our Honda Odyssey. I would love an AWD Sienna with just a 2" lift, but I am done with sliding doors. Tl;dr: People need to prep for efficiency in the good times as well as capability for the bad.
I'm more interested if you can find a way to do clean integration of some sort of peltor, or communication system that still has active hearing, with protection. And a motorcycle helmet
@Makeitmobileco more like when you put on a pair of comtacs, you have better situational hearing, with the benefit of protecting your ears from the motorcycle wind noise.
@@avidwarrior9751 The Cardo like product named "Fodsport fx8 pro" has an "active listening" feature but the active listening comes from the same microphone used for speaking. So you just end up hearing a lot of yourself doing heavy breathing on the bike. I suppose if you bent the mic outside of your helmet when stopped, it could work as active hearing. It's no where near to the quality level of comtacs though.
There are some amazing epoxies out there you can use instead of putting screws in line with your skull. Helmets are designed to crunch a little bit. Be bummer to get one of those screws into your forehead. Love the content keep it up!
Thanks Erik, I came here to say exactly that. Sikaflex is used on racing yachts and is rated at 180 pounds per square inch. That means that if you glue a one inch by one inch lego square to something, it will hold the weight of a 180 pound man indefinitely. It's more than strong enough to hold whatever to your helmet. Please for all that is good in this world, get those skull piercers out of your helmet. If you impact in that area, helmets are designed to compress, and screws are designed to not compress. Kapeesh? Sikaflex is your friend. Only thing it takes about 3 days for the smell to offgas so don't put it on your head straight away after your glueup. Use a ratchet strap or two as a compression device so that the sikaflex bonds completely to the helmet and shroud. Just glue in the contact patches where the shroud meets the helmet, ignore the vent areas, there is PLENTY of contact patch to have a unified bond with that Fox V1. Cheers!
i feel like a wilcox g69 would be better as a shroud since it would have less failure points. but then again, the break away feature is nice to have if you eat it
This is a great video but i have one concern. I need to wear glasses to see out to distance safely and i leave my nods at the base setting. I ride bikes and snowmobiles with a dirt bike helmet that has a flip up visor. Do you think its doable or should i invest in perscriptions to put in a pair of goggles. If i have to go the goggles route what would you recommend?
Any chance we could see a review of the rpnvg? Been thinking about it for a while but more info would be super helpful, especially from a mobility perspective.
Possibly! The short of it is they are awesome for operating vehicles, they have a few cons, but really not anything crazy. Passive aiming isn’t great in the panned position, and they don’t articulate.
@@Makeitmobileco Yeah, seems to trade off articulation for the increased FOV, but outside of hand held thermal use articulation seems a lot more of a convenience versus increased FOV being a pretty significant capability increase. Any experience with detaching the pods and using the external psu as a mono? If so any issues of them becoming un-culminated when reattaching? Look forward to a review hopefully!
@@The_Wizard_of_Naz it’ll definitely keep debris out of your face and protect it from the ground if you fall. But I wouldn’t bet on it protecting your face if it gets slammed into a rock, it’s just not designed for that.
The screws I used were much shorter than that. I don’t remember the exact length, but they stick out probably 1/4 of an inch and then there is still foam over the top.

Yeah. I'm putting my foot in the water with a cheapy Amazon dirt bike first!

Hell yeah.
With the affordable NGV30 the visor will not be a problem.
Visors are good to block the sun and rain and it protect you if you fall.
Awesome 😎
I’d like to see how you wrapped your Honda in Multicam

This would be a great coyote hunting build!
Absolutely would!
Hey Love your Videos but What is the name of the night vision device?

You think using a one hole shroud could lessen the risk of compromising the helmet? Love the video man!
It’s hard to say. And thank you, glad you liked it!
Dude can you make more of those and sell them?
What garmin is that you have
You talking about the watch?
2:20 like I commented in the last video, crashing risks a potential set of 3-4 a screwed being pushed into ur skull at an extreme speed...
The screws I used were much shorter than that. I don’t remember the exact length, but they stick out probably 1/4 of an inch and then there is still foam over the top.
