I don't know what kind of a calculator you are using, but it is WRONG! 333 - 10% = 299.7. The proper calculation is 333 X 10% = 33.3.
Isn't 33.3lbs what I came up with? Not sure of your point.
I’ve had a GeekAire 12 inch fan for six years, and it’s been great. They now have a 16 inch and an 18 inch fan.
Was begging for u to pick up that piece of bacon that fell to the side!! Why did u just leave it there!!! It deserved to be on that burger as much as the rest of the bacon!
@@guswidener2854 🤣
The white powder in tiny baggies is not sus at all. lol!😂 great job!
dang...I was sold on this little fan, till I found out you actually need 110 to charge....not really and off grid fan. Would of loved to see a version that charges with the use of a USB. anyone know if they make one?
The problem with a USB fan is it's not going to be very powerful. You're looking at 5V vs 110V. You can get a power inverter for you car to charge it.
38:20 nice
Oh yeah, and i watched the whole video!!
Hey, thanks!! I like your recipe with the orange and lime.
Glad you liked it! That reminds me I need to make some more.
You sold me on this tent last year and I'm glad I got it. Such a cool tent. Super light but easy to set up and spacious. Shame they discontinued it because I'd love to have gotten the garage accessory for it.
@@loganrossignol yes, I really don’t understand why they discontinued it. I still love using mine.
Thanks skipping to the end.
Yeah but how long does the rechargeable battery last? When it dies, can you replace the battery?
@@RafaelGuerreroThe4th I couldn’t tell you. I did this video two years ago so far it’s still working. But when I’m camping on my motorcycle, I usually take my Dewalt fan because it’s more portable.
but gotta be honest that is one heavy trailer, its not a joke
It's a wonder why people dont market motorcycles with trailers. It's probably the SMARTEST thing you can do to enjoy motorcycles and actually have real utility. I ride a motorized bicycle with a trailer and an electric front hub motor.
Jimmy Dean Hot 🔥 sausage for a little kick 😋👊, Fritos,Doredos,MF corn bread 🤤🤘
We have the 8P version & it is awesome. I think the 6p is the right middle ground for 3-4 people. Love this design of a tent
That place looks like SNAKES
Like it, how much does it weigh? Buying a Spyder and researching what trailer is best for me. Going to check your videos for more content now. Liked and subscribed. Cheers from a Swede in Mexico
Hows bbq going is it still going or has it fallen apart?
Very nice mods to the trailer.....Take care, Bluefin.
If you need a fan when camping.... Just stay home.
You obviously don't live in Texas. Mr Toughguy.
@@SteveOutdoors Nooooooo I'm a French Canadian cummy.
i too work 57 hours a day at the ball crushing factory
What was the change in your fuel Mileage after u got trailer.
Cool video. The problem with using the HD planner is that you can't see street view like you can with Google. The worst part - and a deal breaker for me - is that you can't use coordinates to input waypoints. I'm using InRoute this summer for the first time. It's a good solution for a guy who liked to build maps on Google Maps. My biggest problem with InRoute is that it uses Apple Maps and it's slow to show a turned coner - and really slow to redraw if you miss a turn and want it to adjust on the fly.
Looks like a sweet setup, thanks for sharing!
Good Lord people need to complicate this. Make sure you have about 20 Lbs of hitch weight. That's it. Pulling trailers all over north America since the 80's and that's all there is to it. If you have 20 Lbs at the hitch then you've got a lot more in front of the axel than behind it. The longer the tongue the less hitch weight you need (longer moment arm) but you still need hitch weight.
You much have a really light trailer.
@@SteveOutdoors I have had pretty light trailers, and some God awfully heavy ones. Well... I guess not by the standards of some of the rigs I've seen being pulled these days. But, my 2nd trailer was home made, about 3 feet by 6 by 2.5 feet deep. I had two mountain bikes mounted to the sides and if it fit, it went inside. If it didn't fit, it got strapped on top. I'm just guessing that at it's heaviest the entire rig maxed out at about 500 Lbs. I did a LOT of load testing with that rig and the results were dead simple... 20 Lbs of hitch weight and it towed like it was on rails. Now, if I had a trailer with half the tongue length I'd up that to 30 Lbs. Under no circumstances would I ever put more than 30 on the hitch though, with any size or weight of trailer. I mean if it had to be then so be it, but I'd never pack for that goal. And, it didn't matter if I had a 80/20 weight distribution on the wheels or 50/50. Once it was inside, the only thing that mattered was hitch weight.
@@DarrylBraun We'll have agree to disagree on this one. I never let my tongue weight get less than 10% of my trailer weight. I did once and as soon as I hit 50 mph I got a massive wobble back and fourth. I rearranged heavier items from behind the axle to in front of the axle, which in turn raised the tongue weight above 10% and it pulled like a dream.
@@DarrylBraun This video gives a good example of what happens when the front is too light. ua-cam.com/video/6mW_gzdh6to/v-deo.htmlsi=tPnYW_qnQfE-dH3j
@@SteveOutdoors The problem with that video is they created a binary; it's either tongue heavy or bumper heavy. What they should also have done was moved that red weight half way between the hitch and the axel. The trailer would have behaved worse than the tongue heavy situation but the oscillations would still have dampened out. I mean, theoretically, even a zero tongue weight would dampen the oscillations just on the effect of rolling resistance wanting to keep the trailer behind the vehicle. In your situation I'm going to boldly suggest that either you misread it or there was something else at play. The onset of trailer fishtailing isn't speed related; something has to act on the trailer to get it to develop, a pothole, gust of wind or the action of the tow vehicle. Speed itself won't do it, period. When we were building our first trailer, back in the 80s, we'd heard that 60/40 was the rule. 60% of the trailer should be in front of the axel. Here's what we discovered: 60/40 was fine because it let you pack relatively mindlessly. You could be a LOT less careful about how you packed because you started out tongue heavy, even empty. 50/50 was just fine too, you just had to make more of an effort to pack heavy to the front. 40/60 was also just fine... as long as you made sure to pack front heavy. So, 60/40 wasn't actually related to axel placement, it was related to weight distribution; 60% of the weight should be in front of the axel. So we built our first trailer at 50/50 with respect to the actual cargo box and the next tailer to the 60/40 rule. At 50/50 the axel was still about 60/40 with respect to the hitch so if we put a cooler on the tongue, we were good to go. With the 2nd trailer built to 60/40 with respect to the cargo box we found that that meant packing carefully so as to not have too heavy a tongue weight. The problem was in corners. Straight and upright, pulled like a dream. But too much weight (and we're talking like 100 Lbs for example) and that weight was still acting straight downward even though the bike was now leaning at a 30 degree angle in a turn. I wouldn't call it dangerous, but it was certainly... uncomfortable having your bike pulled down into the lean. What we found was 20 Lbs was the magic number. More than 20 put more weight on the suspension of the bike and less than 20 simply took too long to dampen oscillations. As long as we were hitch positive the trailer would naturally dampen oscillations but the lighter you got, the longer it took. Only when we went hitch negative did the oscillations continue or increase and THAT'S the death wobble of trailers. Anything positive was good and anything over 20 was unnecessary. Now, to be fair and honest, I don't actually weigh my tongue at all. I just pick it up and if it feels right I hook'er up. So maybe I'm over the 20 Lb magic number. I have 2 trailers currently and the next time I load them up, I'll weigh them just to see. Interesting that my smaller trailer maxes out, I'm guessing again, at 250 Lbs, so I'm pretty close to the 10% rule. But the large one maxes out at around 350, maybe even 400 Lbs and there's no way I'd ever put 40 Lbs on the hitch. Maybe 30, I don't think so, but maybe and that's not far off the 10% rule if I'm not maxed out on total weight. I guess 10% is a pretty good rule of thumb since you're pretty unlikely to pull more than 500 Lbs, maybe 600. So 60 on the hitch wouldn't be a deal breaker, but it's just not required when 20 will get the job done just as well. Boy, this got long winded.
Cali moto works for me.
Maybe you can go further from the battery, your test did not test the limits. Right?
Better look that file up, it is not a bastard cut file...

That was an AMAZING Video demonstrating the Packfish7..... I just ordered one also & hope to as much fun on the water as you...Thank you
Thanks!
Freaking excellent video, my friend. Great filmography as always and perfect timing. Good to see you on that bike, too! Now let's gt some vids published young man. Your fans are waiting. Trying to hit you with a Super Thanks, I hope it went through.
Thanks! I have a couple of videos in the works. I just keep having to spend time making videos for clients to pay the bills. I changed out my cam chain tensioners in my old Harley. I filmed the whole thing. I just have to cut the time down. Plus I'm looking forward to getting trashed by all the real mechanics, Lol.
Obviously that was back before the trailer pulling days? Not a bad video actually for early day filming. I'm trying to gt myself set up to do a cross country trip right now. Working on it. Stay safe. Let's see you get out there and film some new stuff, bro.
One more stupid question and then I’ll leave ya alone. Lol. Where did you attach the safety chains to? The bolts that go through the tongue? Or somewhere else? Thanks.
Yes, to the bolts.
@@SteveOutdoors I promise…LAST question. What psi do you run your tires at? They say 80psi cold but that seems pretty stout!!!! Also, are you running the stock tires or a radial?
@@richardedwin5980 when I first bought my trailer I did notice it said 80 psi. That seems like a lot so I ran it at like 60 psi. After several trips, I noticed very uneven wear. It was probably bouncing because it was too much still. When I looked up the tire to see what I needed to replace them with I noticed there was a recall on the tires. So I contacted USA trailers and they sent me two new ones for free. now I run the tires at around 35 PSI and it seems to do a lot better.
@@SteveOutdoorswhat brand are you running now? I’ve considered spending the extra $$$ and getting the radial tires. I had a trailer prior to this and never had an issue with non-radial tires. Just wondering if it’s worth the extra coin for the higher speed rating etc. I have NO desire to experience a blowout at highway speed!!! Yea, 80psi seems awfully high imho. At what speed do you usually tow at? I try to keep it around 75mph. Got the Rotopax on order to do what you did. And I followed your mod of putting some D ring tie downs on the front of the lid. Ever come up with any way to mount the spare?
Do you think the smallest version will fit in a car front seat folded down with cot over the front and rear passenger seat?
You'd just have to measure it out I guess.
nothing will ever beat studying a map....learn the map/terrain/road type. like enemy territory where you might die. study it...
👍👍 I’m going to give it a try. Thanks!
You did a fantastic job ! Looking forward to your next camping trip ! Thanks Steve
Thanks!
Nice work! Great composite footage of the partial after the total too! I vlogged it from southern Illinois, just haven't gotten it edited yet due to computer trouble. It's amazing how for both of us the clouds cleared out just in time, and the storms came right after.
It was crazy, wasn't it? I was worried the whole day would be total overcast or rain. It was a little hairy riding out the storm in my tent afterwards.
Awesome. I was in the total eclipse path but was pretty socked in by cloud. The seabirds made quite a ruckus when it went dark. Youi got a good capture.
2kool
Thank you so much for your effort.
When the battery’s get weak and old , how to you change them ?
I’ve had it for 2 years now. Still going strong.
I'm enjoying your videos. Especially this one. Question: Have you had any issues with the Gas One GS-3900P stove propane regulator? Thank you.😊
The hose for propane is starting to crack some. Not sure how much longer it will last. It's been through some heavy use over the last 3-4 years. I should probably find a new hose for it. In the meantime butane works without the hose.
this video was perfect. Im a fan of you and you get a follow.
This was really helpful! Thanks for posting Have you, or any other viewers, used a pad on top of it? I have an exped mega mat and have not tried using it on top of the cot? I like the cot a lot but trying to see if I can continue to improve comfort levels Thanks in advance
I use my Exped Megamat on top of my cot.
I hope that i can see a video of that eclipse from this set up, i havent seen anyone with good tech like this that is filming it. Please post your eclipse film ❤
Coming soon!
