    Hey guys, just a heads up on the cargo boxes you’ve fitted to Nanuk, you might find that any kind of weight in them may well start warping the sheet metal you’ve mounted them in. It would be worth getting a couple of support brackets made up to mount to the chassis and hold up the boxes from the underside in order to prevent the warping. It would be best to use a couple of rivets through the bottom of the boxes onto the brackets too to prevent movement - anti-squeak and anti-flex.

    • @svfirefly2702
      @svfirefly2702 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Also, if the tub is steel not aluminium, you’ll maybe want to put some silicone between the boxes and the tub to prevent water ingress, and paint on the backside for corrosion prevention :)

    • @chicka6885
      @chicka6885 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That's what I also thought. To protect from corrosion, you should have used special anti-corrosion-fluid on the metal edges and a little bit silicone like decasil (so it's named in germany) as sealing between car metal and new box. That would protect from dripping water between these two and causing rust 🙃 (i know, I'm 10 months too late telling this 🙈🤷🏼‍♀️) greetings 👋🏻😊

      So true, I used to love watching this channel, but lately, it’s becoming, the Fun Times with Dan and Kika show. I miss Uma and would love to see if any forward progress is being made. But anyway they do know how to tell a story and all of their videos are well made.

    • @ricktaylor14001

      My guess is, and has been the same since they bought the truck, that they’ve been working on Uma all the way through these other videos. If you think about, it’s not like the truck has any major changes, or even minor changes, between videos, and there isn’t footage of 4-6 days of an overland adventure. I believe we have ALL seen that “lazy” would be the very last description one could use for either Dan or Kika; so it begs the question “what is occupying their weekdays?”, I’d say there is no question that Uma’s refit is well underway and will be revealed in videos to come. What they accomplish in, say a 2-4 week period, is going to look A LOT better condensed in a 20-45 minute video vs 3-4 DAYS of repetitive tasks. I predict they will likely have “the build” series starting shortly and it will probably be 8-10 weeks behind “live”. As always, we will get some well thought out, shot and directed productions, or “episodes”. It takes just incredible amounts of TIME to properly edit video; getting a 25-30 minute final video easily involves 15-20 hours of editing, especially the kind of videos they produce. Keyword being “produce”; these are productions, not “a bunch of random clips, stitched together with cookie-cutter transitions between them. Yup, I may be totally wrong and way off course, but somehow…. I don’t think I am too far off of the truth.

    Holy photonerdification... the cuts starting around 8:00 were perfect.
    I know it's not easy to set the tone in these things, but whoever is editing is doing it right.
    Great job on combining TV perfection and TH-cam intimacy.

    I love your weekly program! Great content! One quick note about beam your sponsor - their product contains melatonin as you pointed out correctly, however please, note studies show if you use products containing melatonin regularly (more than a week) you do interfere and reduce your own body’s natural production of melatonin. So extensive use of products containing melatonin is potentially problematic and generates an elevated health risk. Particularly for those taking blood pressure medication. Thanks again for taking viewers on your journey!

      Yes, a friend of mine had a car „Handmade in the UK“ end of the 1970s. He had it for about 1 year. I said had, he did drive it for only about 6 months. The remaining 6 months the car was in the garage to be repaired. Then he sold it and got a reliable car.

    Hi Dan and Kika, you commented "What percentage of a video needs to be about a sailboat to make it a “sailing channel”?" It isn't about how much of a video has to be about a sailboat to make it a sailing channel, but how many episodes in a row avoid any image or mention of your sweet little boat, that we all have affection for, that you've stripped down to just about the limit of what can be done without hauling on to the hard. We really LIKE your little moving home. She's a central character in your story, life, lifestyle. A mention would probably have headed off most of the comments before they even happened. @SailingUma

  • @matthewbutler1767
    @matthewbutler1767 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love your channel! 9 minutes into it, I feel I need to mention 2 important things that settled into my head.
    1. Cut hole for box.
    2. Kika’s barefoot driving.
    1. Structurally it’s a concern when the box is in like that, and it’s been said you’d like to put in dirty and heavy things into there, I think the aluminium body is not going to hold that box in place eventually, while moving, bumping etc, then the top part would be pulled in, or bottom part pushed out. Damaged. The solution would be fitting a steel brace around the box to be bolted to the chassis above. Or side brackets on each sides of boxes to be bolted to chassis? Or maybe just a bent steel plate bolted at end of box attached to above.. just flying with ideas!
    2. Kika should wear shoes while driving, very least ones that feels like barefeet. Because there may be a situation that she might need to immediately step away from vehicle, so that’s not ideal. (Broken glass etc)
    Just thinking I could be helpful.

    I don’t have a car and I ride my bicycle with sandals. But I photograph bare footed or with light shoes on, I like the sensation of being able to feel my surroundings through my feet when I am trying to connect with my subject. Also in Africa it is a matter of respect to take your shoes off before you enter someone’s space…

    I always drive barefoot if I can. Far more feel for the pedals, less likely to overreact. And yes, it's far more comfortable as well as your foot isn't locked at an unnatural angle by the shape of the shoe.
    Safer than driving with flipflops or sandals especially as well, nothing to get stuck under the pedal!

    I think you might consider naming her Zuma or Zooma, your choice on spelling.

    Driving barefoot is illegal in some countries and could be problematic with your insurance company if you had to file a claim. The issue is if you have something sharp stuck to the bottom of your foot and had to make an emergency stop. The sharp object may mean you are not as effective as you could be in stopping the vehicle either pulling your foot away from the peddle or not pressing as hard as you normally would.

    The problem may be that having torn everything out of UMA there are no longer any reference points to establish a DWL to get the interior level to the water. If the reference line is wrong, the interior will not be built level. The old Pearson boats had a dimple forward and a dimple aft, outside on the centerline to show the DWL. The DWL is level to the water. Check if the dimples are there, being outside. Another way to determine a line parallel to the DWL is off the aft head bulkhead which is 90 to the DWL, but I think that was taken out. The sailboat masts were placed to lean 1 degree aft when positioned to keep from looking as if the mast was leaning forward. Check the mast step to determine a line 89 degrees to the DWL BUT BE CAREFUL. Hopefully this will help.
    Another possible method to set a DWL is put a bulkhead back into position using a 3/4" thick board that is straight with no bending. Set it in one of the bulkhead grooves and also find a mark on the hull at the bottom where the stringers are. This may show you where the perpendicular to the DWL was but again, be very careful and check twice. Best of luck if this is the reason you are no longer rebuilding UMA.

    I always drive barefoot. I have much better feel of pedal pressure and have more control of the vehicle.

      We just searched online for months on many different website. I can’t remember exactly which site we found this one on. There are a lot for sale in Europe. Just make sure you test drive it. We drove over a dozen and they’re definitely not all created or maintained equally.
