The Berm Peak Ranger Station has been in operation since June of 2021, and has hosted hundreds of mountain bikers from this audience. Let's take a look at how they have been enjoying the home, and what has changed here.
We start with some funny behind the scenes trash management. It seems like there's a simple solution, like getting a smaller can and putting a liner in it, but then families fill it up and call us. There are bears here so everything really needs to be in a container.

One cool thing that could be added, is a pin map. Like a visual guest book, people can see all the different places others have come from to stay and ride.

Hey Seth I think small QR code through out the house that guest can scan and give them the run down on certain things.. let them be linked to private videos of you explaining stuff… example, a video showing how to make the video game work, or how to drive the RCs correctly. Just little things like that.

Honestly Seth, I'm stoked at how much the Ranger station has improved since the last time we saw it!!! Looks awesome! Well done 🤟🏻😎👏🏻💥

@sam_d4032 Год назад

In my experience staying at various AirBnB/Holiday lets is that the vast majority of people actually do want to keep the place clean so that other people can enjoy it to the fullest extent, so I think it's really cool that you're putting facilities in place for that - many places I've been to don't have a vacuum or even a dustpan/brush

@johnbertram Год назад

Solve the trash problem by making a trash bag dispenser from a modified crankset/axle and chopped rear triangle from an old bike frame? Then bolt to the wall above the trash cans? It's a bit of fun and is sure to increase trash bag usage 😁

@standish250 Год назад

We have family in Hendersonville so likely wouldn't stay here (who knows...maybe) but as someone who's stayed in their fair share of Airbnbs, thank you for providing access to tools to help clean up! The vacuums, leaf blowers, cleaning supplies and other more useful items are always locked away in a closet or shed somewhere. I'm going to be here for a week, let us keep the place neat!

@johntanchin2545 Год назад

Hey Seth, if i may suggest, maybe it's better to have a "basher" type of RC. i highly recommend the HBX 16889a pro. cheap, tons of fun, and definitely child-proof, almost indestructible! 😉 most people aren't familiar with crawling. and with kids (and to most people who are new to the world of RC), it's finger to the trigger! (pedal to the metal) awesome update!

@topspot4834 Год назад

Agreed! Most people aren't gonna know how to use a crawler. If bringing kids, they're gonna use it like kids are gonna use it.

@charliemaybe Год назад

i mean, for repairablility, sometimes going name brand could be the way to go as repairing the rc cars is a must when spending hobby grade money. Maybe getting a 1/10th scale 2wd traxxas slash. Im not talking about the vxl, that would be much too powerful for many people to just drive, but the brushed system would be good.

@RealJawnes Год назад

something hobbygrade would be worlds better

You can't buy replacement parts for hbx, though. I have a 2188a and literally can't find parts for it.

@melnichol25 Год назад

They make bin liners,Basically an enormous base that is the size of the garbage tote. Then if something isn't bagged its a lot easier to deal with. I usually leave them in for a while and then pull it out when it gets gross. Stoked the the range station is doing well

@Gid03 Год назад

Seth you should line the bin like you would inside so it all goes in one big bag instead of lots of small ones

@sawdustadikt979 Год назад

This is one of the coolest investment properties ever. I get these giant 100 something gallon bags on Amazon. They are far cheaper than expected. The time cleaning and the smell saved is worth the expense.

@doktormerlin Год назад

The fact that you can leave cordless tools with the batteries just on the porch and no tools have been stolen is a testiment to the guests you got. You couldn't ask for better guests (well besides the trash thing)

Hey for the valvecaps printing you should use a brim or a raft configuration for bed adhesion on your slicer seth! that way they won't get ripped off the bed! Love your videos

@joerobo100 Год назад

Looks pretty cosy. For the bin situation id suggest putting a roll of bin liners next to it with "please use". They call em "Trash Can Liners" or "Cart Liners" over there id just put one in when you empty it though and you should be sorted.

@petersherwood1802 Год назад

For the 3-d printer, with the printing issues, I would recommend to use a brim or a raft. A brim or a raft is something you can find in the slicer settings, and it overall helps the 3-d printed object stick to the bed, preventing the object from getting moved around. Anyway, great video, nice to hear another update.

@johnpossum556 Год назад

A better way to handle the leaves is to mow them up into a bag. This mulches them finely and you can start a compost heap somewhere like behind the property. I did about 20 bags this fall and put them into a spot I want to grow cukes and sugar baby watermelons in next year. If you don't want to compost then this method allows you to fit a lot more leaves in a bag. You should get a large wood chipper, too, then you could make trails and paths from your onsite tree branches.

@PabzRoz Год назад

Seth trust me. Get a glass bed for your 3D printer and hairspray. It's EXTREMELY good for super small prints. You will never have your prints come unstuck from the bed and fail during a print ever again. Glass bed is cheap and fantastic for printing and spraying a light mist of hair spray on it and giving it a second to dry before printing ensures your prints stick great to the bed during the printing process and NO PRINT RESIDUE on your model afterwards like glue sticks. And the models pop right off the bed no problem after the print is finished and the bed cools down. No issues at all. You only need to apply the hair spray once every several prints as well. And it's as simple as using a little rubbing alcohol, windex, or any other cleaning solution with a paper towel/ rag to wipe it off. I'm not lying to you when I say I have not had a SINGLE print warp or lift from the bed or have any failed prints due to bed adhesion in over a year since I started doing this. It's the only way to print lol. It will change your life when it comes to 3D printing I'm telling you dude. Seriously don't waste anymore filament. Do it. Pro tip.
