It does explain an awful lot. lol
West Coast men run into that situation regularly.
Cody is the best, to funny!
I laughed so hard

2020 LNU Fire Northern California, my parents’ ranch was in the crosshairs of that massive fire. Fire came through in the middle of the night, and we were completely on our own. Fortunately, we were prepared. We maintained a defensible space around the property throughout the year, kept flammable objects, plants, and weeds away from the barns and houses, pre-located our hoses and sprinklers in vulnerable spots, kept our well running with a generator knowing the power was going to be shut off, and we had an old fire truck with a water tank and pump. We were told to evacuate over the phone but we were comfortable with everything we’ve done to protect our home. And we did, nothing was lost. Most of our neighbors lost everything from their home, barns, animals, cars etc. Preparation is everything and you can’t rely on anyone else but yourself.

That view from your property is absolutely phenomenal.
I agree.
Do you know what mountain that is?
It’s fuji mtn. And yes there is a Fuji mtn in Oregon not to be confused with Mt Fuji in Japan
Can't fool me. I know a kid playin' in the sprinklers on a hot day when I see one.
No shame in your royal academy training. I’ve got a couple thespians who live down the road. They drive a Subaru, wear lots of flannel, pretty solid dudes.
drive a subaru.... we already knew ROFL
I'll bet it's a Forester.
This is one of the most hilarious episodes of the channel. Came here years ago for some great Benchmade 940 info...stayed for the spirit, knowledge, wisdom, and humor.
Same!!
I am literally deployed doing structure protection right now in bc. Watching this on lunch break. Great advice
East Coast Guys say…. Cute shirt, my wife has one like that.
He's a ( happy ) boy alright
Tip toe thru the tulips..glade I’m a east coast man..Richie rich got wet.,
Yep
As an Englishman i appreciate your fastidious attention to detail and dance moves
I am far from a lady... but none the less I am still impressed with your hose throwing abilities😅
Hard to pay attention when Mt Fuji's looking so handsome in the background! Beautiful shots, and an interesting product!
FR, FR, the view is insane!
It’s mount St Hellen’s I’m pretty sure lmfao. He says Mount Fuji because people always comment saying that, which is kinda obscure considering where mount Fuji is located. Unless you already knew this and I’m dying your joke.
@@jaedonhurles3623 *rotfl*
The shot of the cabin and Mt.Fuji over the trees is simply amazing.
That's a great little system. I did similar when we had the fire near my house (fireline got within 300 yards); I put standard tripod sprinklers on the roof with the feet in the gutters and had the roof, gutters (which had dry vegetation in them), wood porches/decks, and about 20 feet around the house soaked.
After that, I ended up picking up some sprinkler heads with zinc spikes that had integrated pass-through connections so I can make an around-the-house line if I want. They were super cheap at Wally-World.
Those sprayer heads are a cool idea, but they're meant to be mounted vertically. Your angled fascia prevents them from rotating 360 degrees. That's why they kept spraying you in the face. If you put a small block on the fascia with an angle cut on it so that you get a vertical surface for the sprinkler head then the head can rotate as intended. That way you could run the sprinkler in 360 degrees and protect the ground near the house as well as the roof.
The jokes and references... this one was gold! haha
east coast man - Move the Y to the base of the sprinkler head and you have a pass through head. the valves on the Y allow you to tune pressure (throw distance) for each head.
Canadian Rocky Mountain Man would put those sprinklers at the peaks on the fascia of each gable end. Leave the sprinkler to go all the way around, then it only has to reach half of the distance of the roof and the water will rain down from the roof, surrounding the building with a shower of water, and increasing the humidity around the building.
You should talk some about the firewise landscaping that has been showing up recently. It usually boils down to nice gravel or stone paths and for people who want ornamental plants, ornamental plants that don't burn well and spread slowly. Having a nice garden can save your house along with all sprayers and keeping watch.
Here's to you and your family! 🙏 I pray that all defenses worked and the fire didn't impact too much.
Good homeowner hacks May even use it to cool the house in summer too🤙🏼🤙🏼
As an East coast man I'd say your blowing was proficient. Keep up the good work
Thank you.
From Texas.
A half coast man..
Good thing your full of hot air for blowing things 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤣🤣🤣
I'm a newer viewer, really like your channel and the view at your homestead is just beautiful.
Gary Oldman's best role.
The sprinklers from Alpine are a great looking system. There is another sprinkler system from WASP. One thing you can do is to loop the water supply to equal the supply to all the sprinklers.
You got me. I actually thought for a second that you were a dancer. Master Proho troller. Just awesome.
THIS EAST COAST MAN ENJOYS YOUR VIDEOS !
4:27 another reason for this is the threads on the male end of the hose are protected
Looks like a great product! Could you put a t piece before it to act as a pass through? A similar system saved a friend's property from burning down in the 2007 bushfires. The metal water tank next to the house that fed the pump melted down the water level but it saved the house.
Good use of those Eco Flow power units to keep those well pumps running in a time of need.
East Coast Man references are great!! lol
The view! Wow.
Cool solution. I think I would go with two per side so I don't have to fiddle with it or worry about wind.
Cody, you could add a T-fitting to that sprinkler and get the pass through feature you mentioned.
Nice to see Mt Fuji in the background. Summited it this last Saturday! What a beautiful area it is down there.
Awesome, will get 4 for my house and the elderly neighbor
This is right up there as one of the funniest videos you’ve ever made. 😂
That view is incredible Cody
Thanks. Always enjoy your videos. God bless.
What a gorgeouse mountain view!
MT. HOOD.
@@rogermorris3244 isn't mt hood pointy? Unlike every other mtn in the pnw.... Lol
Cool ideas. I'll keep this in mind if I ever find myself living in a fire prone area.
The music choice at 3:20 is PHENOMENAL
This may have been covered in previous videos, but why not have a metal roof on this cabin instead of asphalt shingles being in wildland fire territory?
I'm not a firefighter and no mountain man. But, I think at the point asphalt starts to boil (>525°C or 977 °F), a steel roof wouldn't make a significant difference. Remember, ignition temperature for wood is about 400°C (752°F)
I’ve not math’d the science but I’m pretty sure corrugated metal roofing doesn’t burn as easily as asphalt shingles over a layer of tar paper and other things which like to burn
As an East Coast man, if I had a semi remote cabin and it was that close to a flowing irrigation ditch, I would probably bury a section of 36 inch concrete pipe for a bit of a reservoir in case I ever ran into a situation where I needed to run a pump
God bless the Basement Savers.
Pass through would be a good option but you can get you a 3/4" brass hose tee from the garden section or 3/4" tee and x3 3/4" NPT by hose adapters.
Awesome Video!! I love the information!! And the West Coast Man! 🤣 🤣 🤣 👍🏻👍🏻
An ecoflow delta (any model delta series) with panels and electric 120v well pump are also a good option, at least the larger portable units (not river series, etc). I already have several set up in various places to water crops so we don't have to run electrical all over 5 acres. Also great to set up in the back of a side by side with a tank to get to anywhere.
little pump with the little gas tank cracked me up. - I have a two inch pump by the river with a large enough fuel tank feeding the Honda engine to run about 8-10 hours. One sprinkler on the each end of the house at the peaks, one on the detached garage & the ability to add three more hose line & run a 1 1/2 fire hose. No need to get on the roof, can make all connections at ground level. Hope it is never needed.
Another learning opportunity today, thanks
Tim on Moonshiners was the fire chief they would build a swimming pool and have the tanker truck refill it untill the house fire stops !
WE'LL DO IT LIVE. Great reference Cody
Your right.... that was funny
I was just looking at these! Great video timing!
I like these vids Cody where people send you stuff
“Alright so there’s a learning curve “ 😂😂😂😂😂
Bonus points for comedic value today :)
Hi Cody, I really enjoy your video's! We love seeing sweet loaf and your wife and Jack! Wish you would show more of them. I realize you often Joke about East Coast men, I know some folks do not see the humor in that, but a lot of folks take offense if you ever Mention the fact that IF not for the East Coast men the West Coast men would have never been! I guess that is one for the road...
If the brackets were moved to the top of the gable end 2 sprinklers would cover that size roof really well,
Haven't laughed so hard on one of your videos, THANK YOU! What about a small triangle block on the facia mount so that you have it angled direct to the ridge line of the roof? good thinking with the sprinklers, another idea, just a hose with holes across the ridge and have it bleed water over the roof?
Thanks, Wranglerstar 👍
Cody wrestling that little sprinkler made me week😂
In Oklahoma we used to use sprinklers on the roof to cool our homes in the afternoons with the benefit of this being available for prairie/grass fires.
excellent video; thank you!
Had flashbacks to paving and hauling around garden hoses to fill the rollers 😂
i think the best place for the two sprinkler is the front and the rear gable
Great video, oh thespian!😅
Great video, and teaching, Love you Brother😊
Looks like you might be able to install a Y or T adaptor onto the sprinkler.
It's not a perfect pass through, but will allow daisy chaining.
5:34
🤣🤣🤣
I like to learn from others mistakes😂
I didt know you studied in Glasgow. love your content right up my street. FYI, electrician to trade but been a firefighter in scotland/ Glasgow for last 21years. Gone yursel fa the Glasgow proposed family. much lovem God bless Tony
Your summer ProHo challenges are polar opposite from Eastern NC ProHo challenges as we’ve had daily thunderstorms for the last week and 10” of rain here in the last 5 days. And we’re starting to expect some tropical developments in the Atlantic. Not to mention the 95° heat with 90% humidity 😓 with little to no breeze. Makes you wonder which way you’d rather have it lol!!
LOL. Got in an argument with a sprinkler. And lost. 🤣🤣
So many hilarious one liners today bud
Lol, Wranglerstar I love your barefooted lifestyle, we just can't do that here in SW Texas, well unless you want bloody nubs on the end of your legs! 😂
The West Coast Man against the East Coast Man: one blows better than the other 🎉 hilarious Cody simply hilarious my beloved Thespian 😂😂😂
Good video !
Thank you for the knowledge i had no idea about fire prevention
You can put the spike type sprinklers in a pipe shoved into the ground, tied or wired to a fence post or clothes line post.
Must be nice to be GIVEN EVERYTHING
Only on the west coast does someone who lives where there are known to have extreme forest fires build a log cabin and believes having a garden sprinkler wetting his roof will stop his Log cabin catching on fire.
Wow, never realised you were in Glasgow!!
I’ve followed you for years. Stay about 20 minutes outside Glasgow. Would like to hear what you thought about Scotland and if you’ve been back since 😊
Good, Thx
I, fortunately, have gravity fed water ... it's higher pressure than the house well water that is pumped. The irrigation water is primary water ... comes from a spring and free of debris so no filter needed.
I did get 5 sprinklers that are flow through and have quick connectors now I need some of that 'toy' hose.
Thank you for your insight into the prevention of fire destroying property. Yesterday a forrest fire happened just down the Columbia valley BC from here ... not threaten us but it rained this morning so everything is covered in soot -- I'm hosing the foliage in the garden now thinking the plants won't be able to photosynthesis if they're covered in soot.
Here in Finland we use snow stoppers, so our gutters are protected.
Can you elaborate on what a snow stopper?
@@nicholasnewton6775 this kind of contraption www.metehe.fi/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Lumieste-vesikouru-DSC04327.jpg
@@nicholasnewton6775 It's a set of steel rods you attach on your roof which stop snow from coming down in large masses.
@hoopstar6043 thank you for the information
BC too
sorry Cody but I laughed hard when the sprinkler nailed you right in the face.
I LOVE living in the PNW it's so beautiful
Man is living the dream in many, many ways….
looking shredded Cody, love the content
What about a metal roof, with a wooden cabin? Same concept, but change the water flow to hit the wooden walls? Thanks. Great video
Wow what a view
I think you could put a pipe “T” on the sprinkler to plumb them in series.
This is how a ProHo incorporates hilarious physical comedy into his content
all you need to do is bend the sprinkler bracket
so the hole for the pole is at a 45 degree angle (so bend it 270 degress down)
and you can use the pole for your application no worries.
I had a goodyear last almost 20 years in florida.
Could you change out the connector on the Sprinklers with a T to get the in and out, you have with the base mounted one?
