    I love how Merlin has a lesson for the younger generations of kids who he meets on this journey. I did the same thing with my new ex's kid. (never had any of my own). He needed to learn how to drive so I said come on and grabbed some makeshift cones and hopped in my Expedition. Nick hopped in the passenger side and said "I thought I was driving"?? I looked at him and said "anyone can drive a straight line I am going to show you how to drive". I drove to the park and ride close to home and set up all the cones. I then proceeded to make him do maneuvers for about 4-5 hours. Pull in here and back into there, pull up here and back into there and many more combos. By the end of that I packed up everything and drove home. He said again I thought I was going to drive? I said "anyone can drive a straight line". He was pissed. The next day his mom took him to take the driving test. Well that night he came home after taking the test and said " I got my drivers license"!! He then looked at the ground and said "If you did not do that yesterday I would have never passed the test" I laughed and told him "I know, don't you think I did not have to take that test too"? He is 27 now with a wife and two kids. He told me one day he got more from my tough love than anything else. I don't speak to his mother anymore ever and I stayed with her till he moved out to make sure he did not turn out like his half brother and half sister. Thank God he did not and is doing great

      I teach police officers how to drive. My daughter just got her permit and on day 1 used my brake and evade technique to avoid a collision. Great job with your step kid, I believe in safe driving and the life lessons that come with it.

    Oh wow that young man was in a bad situation with his truck at the lake. I like that Merlin and Brad shared some good experience about how be prepared for airing down your tires by carrying a valve core removal tool on one of your tires. Poor Brad he had some serious issues with tires on his ski doo trailer. He finally bought some new tires to fix the problem. Good video of Merlin doing what he does on the Bradley GT. It looks great!

    One comment about the Schrader valve tool-- if your wheels have TPMS sensors in them, they have aluminum valve stems. Don't put steel valve caps on them, because they'll corrode and they can be very hard to get off. Some metal valve caps claim they're compatible with aluminum valve stems, but I don't know how true that is (I always use plastic ones).

    Just a heads up trailer tires have two must do with them the first is inflation as it says on the side wall is where you run it at second they have a life expectancy of five years from date of manufacture. If you have doubts about what I wrote ask anyone who pulls an RV. Great advice to that young man don't forget an air compressor and a reliable guage.

  • @arte9855
    @arte9855 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I'll add, use an old or New valve stem with those valve caps for length. Makes them easier to use as a tool.
    Then I throw it in the glove box. Wouldn't hurt to have a couple spares or spare valve cores.
