Actually, it's not toxic to all forms of life. Invertebrates large enough to need an oxygen transport protein use haemocyanin rather than haemoglobin. Haemocyanin is based around copper, not iron. If you eat lobster, crab, octopus or squid, you'll be consuming some haemocyanin. So not that toxic to us, in small amounts.
Yeah me too. Cody is such a unique and amazing person, but I get they both had different visions of life. I really hope the best for both of them, and Cody finds someone on his wavelength.
That was incredibly heartbreaking to see graphed out! I’m well over a year or so behind on his videos, so I’m binge watching them to “catch up”...I must not have made it to any videos discussing what happened (if he made any)-because that definitely blindsided me! The very first Cody video I ever watched, was of him making a ring for Kanyon out of raw materials he collected/mined himself! They’d been together for what, like a decade or more?! I know it’s been over a year since this video happened, so I hope everything is going better for them both (either together or separately). 😔💔

Oh, yikes - him and Kanyon split? Genuinely feel really heartbroken for him. Sorry you went through a rough time, buddy. You're making some really awesome stuff and I hope things are going well for you.

@@nicholas_scott I still don't understand how nilered gets away with most of the shit cody gets banned for. Because he looks a little more wholesome? Because he has the voice of a squeaker? So frustrating
Weight before Kanyon moves out: Fairly stable. Weight after Kanyon moves out: Drops like rock. Why do I have a sneaking suspicion that she had to remind you to eat every once in a while?
I have the sense that he was heartbroken seeing that as far as I know he never mentioned it before. not eating is pretty normal in that situation. I feel for him.
"Copper is quite toxic to most organisms" RIP to most organisms, but Cody is different. More seriously though, physiology/pharmacology grad here - I wasn't at all concerned with the mercury stuff, drinking cyanide and so on, for all the reasons Cody goes over in those videos. I've been following the chain mail videos from the start, but hadn't realized it was shedding like that, and I'd be a little concerned about the copper now. From what I remember of copper toxicity, humans can generally deal pretty well with small amounts, but chronic exposure or in cases where there's a genetic mutation making it harder to clear from the body it can accumulate to toxic levels, and besides the longer term physical symptoms there can be earlier, often overlooked psychiatric symptoms (insomnia, mood swings, and anxiety I think?). Weight loss can also be a symptom of some heavy metal toxicity as well IIRC, but not sure about copper. It's a pity that passivating it (at least in any way I can think of), would probably ruin the look or feel of it, because I love copper for those reasons too!
Copper can cause some serious issues if ingested (vomiting blood, hypotension, jaundice). The biggest problem of chronic copper exposure is a high chance of liver and kidney failure and disease. I work as a hepatologist and I have seen the effects of chronic copper exposure in a man working at a copper sulfide smelting furnace (dont know what kind of exposure that is, ingested or inhaled)
What is your opinion on wearing a copper ring? I have one and it's constantly colouring my finger blue. Should I stop wearing it? Or try to use some kind of varnish? Thanks for you insight.
@@lomgamer Its copper patina. Its a ring, it oxidates and gets the patina quick because your skin is full of water, salt and carbohydrates. There is no reason to worry because you have a ring.
@@lomgamer I'm not a doctor, so I can't give medical advice, but the discoloration suggests that copper salts are forming (many of which are soluble, and so more toxic than the elemental metal would be). I think the varnish idea is a good one. You could probably paint some clear nail polish onto the inside of the ring where it contacts skin. I'd go with nail polish over something from a hardware or craft store because I'd presume cosmetic varnishes would have to be relatively non-toxic/biocompatible. If you're concerned about copper toxicity symptoms, best best would be to check with a doctor of course. Hope this helps!
Also, he had a video where he tested a few electro plating options. Of course with the constant moving pieces rubbing, it would need to be redone regularly, but it seems it would help a bit.
Cody, I feel you, as a man, you seem to have gone through a rough patch and I appreciate that you share some of those emotions through your videos, in your own way. I hope you feel good soon. Hardships are part of it all and it can only make you stronger if you get over it. You are a great youtuber!
"When this is fully done, I should be able to survive a lightning strike." That's good, because wearing this will probably make you more likely to be struck. 💦
@@thegingerkingshanks7587 Actually, almost nothing would happen. There's not a high current to pass through and since it's such a wide area, I guess that it won't heat up at all. The cables on the field don't get hot either (10kV to 1MV) since there is a low current.

I love cody ive been watching him for about 3 years now and all of his videos are great even all of the old bee videos and stuff hes a great guy. I hope you're doing good cody.
I can attest to how long it takes to make chainmail... By the way Cody, I'm using 1/2 hard tempered 5/16" diameter stainless steel rings for mine and using a 6-in-1 European pattern. Stuff is no joke, it really is knitting with metal!
@@walterhartwellwhite687/videos Don't be dumb about the internet. Surely you're aware that most (almost all) youtubers give patreon members early access to all of their videos before posting said videos to the public.
You're such a dork, man, but what a smart and productive goof you are! It's fun seeing you geek out over stuff you make, and it looks very well done, I remember seeing the first chainmail video!
Hey Cody, there’s a few thoughts I wanted to share with you. First, I wanted to let you know that there are many people who care about you. Also, thank you for making videos that you find interesting instead of trying to cater to the YT algorithm. Keep on keeping on! Don’t forget to take time for yourself and try to enjoy the ride which is daily life while we are here on this earth for a relatively short amount of time in the grand scheme of things.
This one channel that i feel more connected to than nearly any other. Cody is so real. I feel his videos are more of a documentation of his daily life than simply youtube videos to appease the masses or algorithm. I don't know the guy personally but I feel like i know the real man from watching years of his videos and would call him a friend if i ever saw him. I wish you well Cody. Stay true and keep being you.
Cody I've enjoyed following you from the moment i subscribe to you when you were always a suggestion video for me as you do so many different types of videos. Thanks fella
When I was in my early twenties I worked at a meat plant and wore a steel mesh apron. The shedding was a problem with that one too. Every day when I took off my apron my work shit was several shades darker.
I'm wondering how often you tend to get slashed and stabbed if you feel like chainmail isn't really enough protection and you need to add some layers of kevlar with it too :D
@Please Complete All Fields He almost definitely thought of the strength of the metal he was using long before starting, and I also don't believe his original goal was to use it as armour.
@@GiskardRevenlov That's actually a myth. Kevlar is very good at stab protection. I don't know who is responsible for perpetuating that myth, but it seems like a lot of people think that. Almost all stab vests are Kevlar.
I used to watch you when I was a lot younger and you got me into metallurgy/science! It's weird to see how you've went from mercury/chemical experiments to mining to whatever is going on now. I hope you keep making fun videos and maybe try making a sword to go along with the suit ;)
He's a renaissance man and a TH-cam legend (at least in my book). Thank you Cody for being you. (Wish I had friends like you) In my small Podunk town, I'm like the smartest kid on the short bus...
Cool! Didn't know that the chainmail were fitted in the front and back, impressive work. But do not wear your joints out prematurely, you are a young lad and all that weight above your hips could fcuk up your knees too soon. Love your videos!
I like the sentiment of the extra weight for exercise however the extra weight adds extra stress to joints/tendons. The trade off probably isn't worth it.
@@herkiee1 thing is that wearing this results in unhealthy joints, Just like how overweight people often het joint problems even when they regularly move around.

I fucking love your channel man, been watching for years and don’t plan on stopping

Well, some say when cody takes the copper suit off, he can jump up to space.
NASA is still wondering why.
I can attest to how long it takes to make chainmail... By the way Cody, I'm using 1/2 hard tempered 5/16" diameter stainless steel rings for mine and using a 6-in-1 European pattern. Stuff is no joke, it really is knitting with metal!
Kaylee Gallisdorfer how are you so early
@@walterhartwellwhite687 Some of these I think are patreon, though I can't remember if Cody does that or not.
@@walterhartwellwhite687/videos Don't be dumb about the internet. Surely you're aware that most (almost all) youtubers give patreon members early access to all of their videos before posting said videos to the public.
Cool! Do you have any videos of yours?
@Kaylee Gallisdorfer Are you making butted or riveted maille?
You're such a dork, man, but what a smart and productive goof you are! It's fun seeing you geek out over stuff you make, and it looks very well done, I remember seeing the first chainmail video!
Wow! Can't believe it's already been 2 years! Love your stuff, Cody, keep em coming!!

Hey Cody, there’s a few thoughts I wanted to share with you. First, I wanted to let you know that there are many people who care about you. Also, thank you for making videos that you find interesting instead of trying to cater to the YT algorithm. Keep on keeping on! Don’t forget to take time for yourself and try to enjoy the ride which is daily life while we are here on this earth for a relatively short amount of time in the grand scheme of things.

Big fan here from dominican republic
Well said dude.
This one channel that i feel more connected to than nearly any other. Cody is so real. I feel his videos are more of a documentation of his daily life than simply youtube videos to appease the masses or algorithm. I don't know the guy personally but I feel like i know the real man from watching years of his videos and would call him a friend if i ever saw him. I wish you well Cody. Stay true and keep being you.
norweeg both your message and profile pic make me extremely happy!
Cody I've enjoyed following you from the moment i subscribe to you when you were always a suggestion video for me as you do so many different types of videos. Thanks fella
This is the first video I’ve seen in a while. I pray you are doing better. Stay strong.
No standing on a hill in a storm, cursing out the Gods for you sir!
"Is this what you want? Come on, strike me down, Zeus! You don't have the bal-"
The haircut looks great on you, Cody.
I felt bad he cut his hair.
Much better!
I'd stick to some variant of sharp-dressed cowboy cut&shave amd claim it as a business expense.
Agreed.
He looks very American now.
your videos are great and the comments are great, keep up your great work cody!
When I was in my early twenties I worked at a meat plant and wore a steel mesh apron. The shedding was a problem with that one too. Every day when I took off my apron my work shit was several shades darker.
I'm wondering how often you tend to get slashed and stabbed if you feel like chainmail isn't really enough protection and you need to add some layers of kevlar with it too :D
A kevlar gambeson would be great armour!
@Please Complete All Fields He almost definitely thought of the strength of the metal he was using long before starting, and I also don't believe his original goal was to use it as armour.
@@bmoss1318 kevlar is really bad at stopping knives and spikes
@@GiskardRevenlov That's actually a myth. Kevlar is very good at stab protection. I don't know who is responsible for perpetuating that myth, but it seems like a lot of people think that. Almost all stab vests are Kevlar.
@@xenonram I think that has to do with the fact that ballistic kevlar vests aren't as good as stab proof vests in protection against blades

I really look forward for your videos and love the passion you have for your armor

I swear he's gonna start flying once he takes the weighted clothes off in the next arc
Thank the Gods. I've been wondering about it for a while now and haven't got to the video where you started it. So thank you for the explanation.
You are a legend, Cody! Thanks for keeping us updated!!!
I used to watch you when I was a lot younger and you got me into metallurgy/science! It's weird to see how you've went from mercury/chemical experiments to mining to whatever is going on now. I hope you keep making fun videos and maybe try making a sword to go along with the suit ;)
He's a renaissance man and a TH-cam legend (at least in my book).
Thank you Cody for being you. (Wish I had friends like you)
In my small Podunk town, I'm like the smartest kid on the short bus...
Don't forget bees and spacetravel!
If I recall correctly he was meaning to make a knife from blood extracted iron which would be badass. Not a sword but close enough.
"I kinda want it to go down to here, with gloves and a helmet"
So effectively, you are making a faraday suit out of copper
Oh Cody, I know this video is oldish now. But it is new to me. I can hardly type. The tears of laughter are blinding. You are so funny!
Looking great cody !!
Thank you for everything you thought me , Big fan keep up the good work
Cool! Didn't know that the chainmail were fitted in the front and back, impressive work. But do not wear your joints out prematurely, you are a young lad and all that weight above your hips could fcuk up your knees too soon. Love your videos!
Beats being 40lbs overweight I guess.
That's what his doctor said.
And weighted clothes doesnt really improve fitness though daily use. But... chainmail is cool
I also think it's probably a bad idea but hey, makes him happy so whateves
This is where the exo-skeleton comes into play..
Been waiting for this update for 2 years, looks great!
Yearly updates from now would be pretty awesome! Can't wait to see what you've got in 10 years!
The Best Personal Faraday Sheild I've seen!!! Keep Up the Good Work!!!😁👍🏻
I like the sentiment of the extra weight for exercise however the extra weight adds extra stress to joints/tendons. The trade off probably isn't worth it.
Healthy joints would easily deal with it
@@herkiee1 thing is that wearing this results in unhealthy joints, Just like how overweight people often het joint problems even when they regularly move around.
Glucosamine is your friend
40lbs when you weigh 180ish is negligible risk on your joints, especially since the weight is distributed across his chest.
@@Dontwantmyactualnamehere well, the weight is not even that much and evenly distribuited, bulding more muscle mass would help for sure
Man so much good content out tonight! Codyslab, Steve1989MRE, boostedboiz, cleetus.
This is the first time I've seen Steve mentioned outside of Ashens' comment section. Though to be fair, I don't watch any MRE channels or videos.
Some AvE videos yesterday
Amazing work and effort man well done !
Loved the outtake at the end. Great info on the practical issues of daily wear chainmail!
