THANK YOU ... WE ARE LEAVING CALIFORNIA SOMEDAY TO A MORE KINDER STATE OF SOUTH DAKOTA ... YOU ARE GIVING US TONS OF GOOD IDEAS ON EVERYTHING. PRAYING FOR YOU, MRS W. & your children
I could use some prayers from my fellow Wranglerstar friends. I had to place my best friend, roommate and most of all my Mother into Hospice today. This Christmas is definitely going to be her last one and the length of time that my family and I thought we still had with her has been significantly reduced. So any prayers are appreciated, thanks. Take care, Stay safe, and God Bless
I'm with you bro. My mother has Alzheimer's disease and I know I will probably have to place her one day but I just can't compute that idea. Anyway Timothy, the best thing we can do is stay strong and make good use of the time left. God bless
@@jeeboo1910 My best advice is don't wait till the last bit of time left hospice is meant to be there for the patient as well as the family of the patient. Also my Paternal grandfather died from Alzheimer's complications and his care was quite a ways beyond my grandmother, so again you don't need to wait till the very last bit. Thanks for the prayers and I will do the same for you.
this!! im an avalanche insructor and i cant stress enough the importance of having your avalanche gear on your person at all times!!!. You can have a spare bigger shovel on your tunnel bag but it shouldn't be your primary
@@llshamelessll that'll happen when dealing with the math of probabilities. I've seen it in my community too. I suspect a good number of the unit hydrographs are not accurate, which will through off all the calcs thereafter. Maybe someone with a whole bunch of time could straighten it out.
Hey Cody, I know the latches on those cases are really strong, but I’d still put a lock or D ring thru the lock holes to make sure it stays shut on those long bumpy runs!
Just a suggestion, but I wouldn't put your avalanche gear anywhere but on you, and not on the machine. It is easy to get separated from the machine during an avalanche or crash.

I really hope you'll be able to film a little bit of that visit with Buck. I'm going to be building a garage in the spring but I will be needing a wood stove for next winter. So any advice on a selection would be greatly appreciated. Can't wait 🙂 God bless
it fits so nice in that mounting bracket, which is easy and quick to remove in one step as a unit, seems good to me. in the future if he has something else to carry, he can afford an extra mounting bracket, no problem.
Cody, I'm an Avalanche rescue and avalanche science instructor and and I can't stress enough that you should carry your avalanche gear on your person at all times. If you want to shed weight get a vest and run your shovel and probe on it but please don't rely exclusively on your box to carry your gear. Its ok to have a larger spare shovel in the tunnel bag but it shouldn't be your primary. Ask any avalanche professional or any experienced backcountry user and they will all tell you you are making a biiiig bet against yourself.
Just an “o” ring under the bolt heads will seal out water from the case. Have that ring tight enough around the bolt to not fall off and all will be good. Merry Christmas to you and your family sir.
Looks like the whole thing may be resting on the bolts used to secure the box to the frame. I wouldn't want those bolts touching that expensive carbon fiber. At a minimum I suspect they'll scratch it up badly when you ride (vibration, slight movement, etc). Couldn't you just bungee or ratchet strap a box to the frame?
I usually mount my Pelican cases with footman loops on the outside as strapping points. I don’t strap over the lid so I can open it while mounted. I silicone the bolts that hold on the footman loops and never have a problem with waterproofing. Worked great on my Pelican mounted to my tracked Brute 750 in deep Alaskan snow. I’ve used that same method on several different cases for different applications.
I have 100$ on Cody going out and getting a new box and not cutting the new box as much if any.. if it bothers me it definitely bothers cody.. and when it turns out I'm right can I have the old box Cody? Hahahahah :)
Geez man, buy a sled if you need a sled... buy a bike if you need a bike and buy a quad if you need both, why makes this so much more complicated and costly for no reason at all
Be careful what you put in that box. In addition to the emergency gear that you might want strapped to your body, that box is going to get a pretty good shaking because it is below most of your suspension. No eggs, critical electronics, etc.
Yeah, wouldn't worry about that reaching the house. Only problem would be an eruption from My Fuji. That would bring a TON of material and melted glacier down. But what ya gonna do n
Hello Cody I’m 31 years of age I’m from Indiana raised on a farm been watching your channel from the beginning finally subscribed when I understood how RU-vid worked just want to let you know you have taught me so much even if it’s the little things keep it up and thank you!
I modified the pressure-relieving valve to be totally removable. Now I can suck the air out and ensure it is truly sealed. In packraft this is important, because the box is major floating aid too.
The "hairpiece" is looking a little shaggy... the snow bike is coming together great, and what a blessing it must be to have a beautiful river as a property line...
Agree with that, but it should be in understanding with authority to avoid trouble. Supreme Court said something like "Even rivers that are physically navigable only by canoe, kayak, and raft are still legally navigable. (The courts have also ruled that commercial recreational river trips qualify as commerce). Because they are legally navigable, such rivers are held in trust for the public by the states, for navigation, recreation, and fisheries. The land along them is public land up to the ordinary high water mark (which can be quite a distance from the water--it's the land where the vegetation and soil show the effects of water.)"
@@yvinddahle7714 Yes, understood. However there should be some leeway or clauses allowing some form of erosion control. Our governments do this all the time. However it is the land owners responsibility to check, file for the correct permits, etc. before doing anything. Me, I would go through the process because that river bank won't last long without some form of erosion control.
Nice setup! You really need to put a plate under those bolts on the inside of that case or the plastic will fatigue over time and pull those bolt heads right through. Ask me how I know...👍🏻😁🇺🇲
I am up early to get ready to make the 4th trip down to Spokane for my Chemo and watching the butchering of that Pelican Case. I say that NOT in a hateful way. Wondering if you considered using the flat and accurate basic contractors table saw and the drill press your already own. But did you need to peirce the case at all? I have a $1.99 Harbor Freight Plastic Calibrator that messuers very well in Imperial and and the Hateful Metric. Two tablesaw cuts and two straps, wratchet or otherwise, would have saved the water Air/Seal and the case would not be attacted to the bracket that should stay attacted to the bike. Very easy and Snarky to comment after the fact. What about a Crowd Source of your followers a contest if you will, release a RFB, Request For Bid, asking, How sould I mount this. out of 100 million + viewers one may have some insite. You own a Space Ship like designed machine, you and it deserve a redo. I interviewer the owner, founder of Pelicanone in my studio once, Also a good friend's Daughter was head of Marketing and design of their first web site. I am sure they would love to provide another case for a redo. Maybe even redesing their mold to fit that bracket, that may have many uses in Police and Fire, Ambolance or Aircraft use. Best and I hope I was not too Hateful. That Bike is Beautiful. Merry Cristnas to you, Family and all the Viewers, even the "Hatefull Commentoers like me?
NOOOOOOOOOOO........... Oh well, too late Looks good I’m wondering if it will hold up. I’m thinking the aluminum pieces needed to be solid from one side to the other. Easy fix if I’m wright. Hope I’m wrong.
tow a sled and carry all the gear on the sled if I were going to mount something to the of something it would be a small bag of medical supplies and maybe enough food last 4-14 days and satphone.. we take the niceties cb/hms radios/MOBILE PHONES FOR GRANTED, though there are going to be times where there is not going to be solutions where cb/ham/cellphones maynot be a suitable use and the on;lt option for comms service will be be a sat phone..
Has Dr Who called on you mate? Whilst you were at the river I noticed a TARDIS in the background, albeit the wrong colour :) Merry Christmas and a happy New Year from South Yorkshire UK!
Avalanche safety equipment on your person only! You can have spares on your bike, but the main safety equipment must be with you in your backpack in case you and the bike get separated. Also whatever you put in that case on the tunnel better be packed tight! Use extra clothes or whatever you have to make sure what’s in there doesn’t move. Anything able to move will be destroyed quickly. I buggered up the first time I used mine and put a sandwich in it and when we got done the 3 mile trail ride to the good stuff, my fancy new tunnel bag was full of mushed up food.
Why not make it removable? Now you've damaged the integrity of the pelican, AND if your vehicle flips, catches fire, etc, your survival gear is stuck to the bike and you cant remove it.
Why did you list all of the things that have to stay in your pack? Or should anyways, anything ive ever thought about avalanche safety was finding me right away with my beacon on my body and not in a box on my machine.
Be cautious with storing your avalanche gear on your bike as opposed to on your person. In the event of an avalanche and you are separated from your bike, you don’t want to be wasting spending time looking for bike before looking for burials. Also the beacon should always be one your body.
So one thing to try out and consider might be how quick you can unmount that pack. Let's say your bike is about to plumet off of a steep incline into water or sink into a frozen lake, could you get the kit off fast enough to retain it? It would be an interesting thing to test out on your free time. Not really an issue I see with your design at all, just something to practice, like drawing a firearm. You could potentially attach a nylon strap with a handle to both of those pins and secure it to the lid of the case with some velcro. So that even if you're still on the bike you'd just have to lay back, yank on the strap and pop both pins out at once. These things are mostly just fun to contemplate you know. It doesn't hurt to be prepared but obviously the hope is that you're never in that situation. God bless
Question what did you do with all your firewood ? Is there enough wood on your new property to support your wood stoves ? The small forest you’ve shown doesn’t seem very big obviously we haven’t seen the whole property just curious if ya trucked all the firewood down ? And merry Christmas
You made this way more complicated than needed. Weld a thin strip or two between the center braces of the Yeti frame, drill 4 holes, and done. Alternatively, get longer strips that span the cross braces, drill 4 holes in the box, and done. No modifications to the frame necessary at all.
How about just using a strap to secure the case in place? 🤡 Drilling holes in it compromises the waterproofing, plus making it QD is quite practical as well.
You best prepare for a spring snow melt & possible flooding now, because if it goes over the banks with that kind of force, despite what has happened in the past, everything will be gone! We now seem to be living in a world, where more extremes seem to be more common place.
you will want good sized flat washers on the inside of the box aswell. Atm your contact holdings on the entire box are the bottom side of your bolt heads x4. Thats only a tiny amount of material that would have to let go for the box to part ways with the bike, and as good as the plastic might seem, its still plastic.
now im not a plastic expect but maybe you should some hot steel to that cut edge so to smooth it out i know from past experiences that any type of plastic that has any rigidity will crack at a cut 90 degree corner no idea why but it always does
