These videos are me exploring my world and sharing interesting information that I think others may like.
Though I have not been necessarily good about it so far my goal is to focus on experiments, particularly natural sciences, food preservation, and infrastructure explainer videos. Though that does not mean I will not be posting whatever suits my fancy.
I had great results adding pure urine at night {Thailand) However It was diluted by my beer consumption (back in the day) great video by the way and thank you.
Here in the UK I use Aspen 4 which is an excellent fuel and better value than Colemans. I always ensure my dual fuel lamps, stoves and appliances (such as generators) are stored with Aspen 4, rather than unleaded petrol (gasoline).
Thank you for your service I have hiked a few thru hikes and without people like you that would have not been possible.We get the glory and you get the work.
You might want to consider a light hand saw. That axe on the bouncy sapling is a big energy expenditure. Looks like a fun trip. Thanks for the content. Inspiring!
nice video kestral, i like to see more videos similar to this from your end and I appreciate for your efforts to make this video. i know how much efforts it will take to make this bcz I'm also a camper. By watching this video, I got an idea about to do camp near haunted streams near by home town....
I am not sure it has a specific name, I would just call it a wind shield. Its not just to prevent the wind from interfering with the flames of the stove, but also (along with the sheet that I place the stove on, not visible) reflect at least some of the radiant portion heat back to the pot.
Я конечно русский и всего лишь перевожу. Но в первую очередь я химик. И как химик могу сказать что "ингибитор коррозии" не что иное как реагент против ОКИСЛЕНИЯ самого топлива. В бачке горелки топливо может нагреваться и реагировать с закаченным туда воздухом. Если залить автомобильный бензин в горелку, то он становится по цвету как моча через 30-40 минут от начала нагревания, в то время как с чистым бензином такого не происходит. При этом, для мотора это пожелтение бензина не так страшно как для горелки или, если жидкость используется в малярных работах для обезжиривания деталей (у нас не производят "топливо для горелок", мы используем бензин для малярных работ, хотя в назначении и написано что подходит для горелок), вот поэтому в него и вводят ингибитор. Я пишу про наши, российские бензины, как в других странах - не знаю.
Interesting video! I think your neighbor is correct, and that you are right that fertility is a factor as well (though I suspect it’s minor in comparison). I've noticed the same effect along the edges of my yard (surrounded by cement), along the edges of sidewalks, in cracks, etc. I think the higher temperatures and earlier germination is definitely a part of it. I also wonder if the extra water runoff from those hard surfaces contributed as well. I would try burying a stone paver a few inches deep and painting it black with charcoal or something. That'll increase the temps the most as close to the root zone as possible, simulating higher soil temperatures. My guess is that'll maximize the effect. Fertilization might contribute even further On the opposite end, a white/reflective low height umbrella (like shiny white cardboard close to the soil without touching it) would minimize heat and insulation without contributing fertility. Lots of variations to try. buried/unburied, painted/unpainted, fertilized/unfertilized etc; You could even try stamping VS non-stamping because covering existing grass with soil or manure etc might trap an insulating air layer, reducing heating while increasing the insulation. stamping might remove the insulation and improve heating. You could directly test the soil temperatures with a soil probe or meat thermometer to look for correlations that way as well. Keep in mind that cold temperatures (especially a late frost) that occurs after the grass has come out of dormancy can have a negative effect, and that the insulation that kept the grass/soil from warming up in the first place will also protect it from the cold. Without insulation from the sun (and with added fertility), the grass will come out of dormancy, green up, and begin growing faster/earlier, but if there's a late cold-snap it'll end up taking LONGER to recover (having essentially ‘wasted’ its energy too early), stunting the growth. This is why early scalping and fertilization of a bermuda lawn (what I have) can be risky, and why the same ground-cover experiments (with varying insulation and fertility) can have different results year over year. The effect might be observable in the fall as well, where the grass along edges may not go dormant as quickly. That'd remove the 'reserve energy' variable of coming OUT of dormancy in the spring. My last thought is that a bare spot should show similar results to the path. You should see if there’s any similar effect in bare spots. My guess is that if the path has a stronger effect it’s probably for many reasons such as retaining more water, concentrating the water on the edge as it runs off, being darker, and adding a bit of fertility.
Great video ✌🏼 I’m building a model railroad and am designing how I want the trestle bridge to be. I remember seeing a bridge like this one back in Indiana. It always caught my eye and I want to replicate it
I really appreciate you for doing this and sharing it. I've stopped wasting water whenever I need to pee (use an 11 liter bottle.) I'll dilute it with 80% water before applying to the grass and other plants.
that garbage you get from Walmart is compleat trash if you want two have two keep cleaning the needle that regulates the amounts the garbage walmart sells is what you want i cant even run a lantern with this crap or my stove... the original colman brand is what you want.. the cheeper brand is garbage..
The string soaked in the potassium nitrate and sugar works very good, however not the way you prepare the fuel. If you put potassium nitrate sugar 65/35 and just like five drops of water into a pan stirring constantly until it all melts, dip your string into the melted fuel. After you let it dry for a couple days it's very close to Dynamite Wick but not waterproof... how to make a bit of a slower burning fuse add a little bit of sodium bicarbonate/baking soda to some of the melted fuel.
