Absolutely brilliant mate 👍 Thank You Very Much.
It's a jolly good bit of kit by the looks of it. And I totally agree with you, don't cross the Atlantic ocean in an inflatable - I once went down the river Towy on a lilo. I didn't finish the trip due to calling in at a pub with my mate!
Thanks again 👍 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
That was back in the days when I was still indestructible, that power starts wearing off by the time you reach 40 so you have to be a bit more careful, alcohol always helps of course 🙂
Beercan’s a great fella and is worthy of many more subbs, he’s getting quite a safe breaker!
Nice autopsy on the still. Interesting! Nice rain hat too 😂👍🏽 Best wishes mucker 😎
Absolutely agree, watching his channel you can't help getting the urge to have a go, but I get side tracked way to easy. It is a busy time of year what with all the fruits and garden work and general house hold stuff. Many thanks as always and best wishes to the boss 🤣 🤣
👍🏽👍🏽😎👌🏽
Cheers mate 👍 👍 👍 🍻
Oh, I can tell you are not a Yorkshireman, Chris because I would have sold it ;-) Enjoy what is left of your weekend. Oh, we are making our pie tomorrow. :-)
Ah well, recent incidents have prompted me to get rid of a lot of my stuff, of which I have accumulated lots (mostly what other people have thrown out).
While I have sold some, the problem becomes progress, so quite a lot has also gone to the local hospice charity shop, some to acquaintances and sadly some even to the tip.
I am now trying to educate myself to only collect what I actually have a use for in the immediate future. When I do a little litter picking I come across some amazing stuff, which I just know will eventually come in handy (one slight benefit of the fly-tippers). I can even, pretty much, remember where it all is and roughly what projects it would be useful for, but I have to admit that having too much stuff is not so good for a number of reasons.
However one video I have in mind is collecting what is necessary from the rubbish left by others, to have a decent camp out with all the 5 c's scavenged from my local litter pickings. I absolutely know it can be done because I regularly find all that is needed (just not at the same time).
Thanks again and heck the weekend is not yet half done and already it has been a great one, with a rather large vet bill averted.
You sound like a real-life Womble Chris.; Fair play to you. I only wish more people were like you. Keep them coming Chris, please :-)
This looks interesting. But with half a liter a day, you won't last very long, still a lot longer than without it. Never seen it, so great share!
All the best! Kaat
While sailing in the Atlantic I did do some experiments for a few days, surviving on only ~3/4 liter of water a day, including one small meal a day. I reckoned I was risking kidney damage or something worse, so I had to up the water intake. We were pretty much starving at the time, which was also a very interesting experience. There is nothing like real life 🙂
@@GrasshopperOutdoors When did you do this sailing trip?
@@StepsbyKaatje 1990s so about 30 odd years ago, three trips in succesively smaller craft across the Atlantic to the West Indies. Not fun trips as the boats were so small, and wet, but highly educational, and before we could afford anything like satellite navigation or phones or high power radios, or even proper sailing gear, so very much on our own.
@@GrasshopperOutdoors So happy you survived! 😉 It must have been a great adventure for sure!
So, I assume you drag it behind your boat? Compared to the Reverse Osmosis Hand Pumps, the price is good.
The instructions state that if there is no room in the life raft for it to receive direct sun then it should be placed in the water tied to the life raft. We have used one of these and found in rough seas (normal Mid Atlantic conditions) they did not fair too well. On the small boat was not much better. They do work but not a patch on the MUCH more expensive reverse-osmosis desalination pumps. They will extend any water supplies you have, but barely keep one person alive in tropical conditions over an extended period. If I were ocean sailing again I would still buy a couple.
Hi Chris, thanks for the look see at its innards, so to speak, when deployed at sea would it be anymore effective than on dry land due to the cooling effect of it floating on water,just wondering about its daily output ?. Cheers mate, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.
In operation it is the bottom, black towel material that needs to get warmer than the outside cone for the evaporation of the water and condensation on the cone to occur. It will therefore benefit from the sea being warm and the air being colder, which on a night the sea often is. During the day the sun is shining through the cone and heating up the black fabric inside so a cold sea will not help.
@@GrasshopperOutdoors hi Chris ,thanks for the info, that makes sense. Atb, Stuart UK.
@@stuartlockwood9645 What really made the second and third trip possible were the two reverse osmosis desalination hand pumps we took. They were very new/experimental at the time, in fact we only came to know about them through a program called Tomorrows World and phoned the company up who provided two free as we would not have been able to afford to buy one. You had to work at turning sea water into fresh water but they worked extremely reliably in any weather and for a very long time. I am slightly hopeful that one of them might still work so I will demo that in due course.
@@GrasshopperOutdoors hi Chris, I hope they still work that would make interesting viewing, Atb mate, enjoy your wkend, Stuart UK.
