Just an active-duty military dad doing things I think are interesting every once in a while. I focus on automotive repair since I was a professional mechanic for a few years in a past life and on RV tips/tricks/repair since we own a used RV that breaks a lot. I will also post and comment on some U.S. Military stock footage that I find interesting.
Towing a 24 year old boat 300 miles with a 19 year old SUV with 215k+ miles? Can I do it? #boatlife
I attempted to tow my 2001 Bayliner Ciera 2655 almost 300 miles with my 2005 Dodge Durango with over 215k miles on it from North Carolina to Virginia to put it on the water. The trip didn't go as planned...
For those concerned: The towing capacity of the Durango is 8,950. The gross weight of the boat is 6,300 and the trailer is approximately 1,000 which leaves 1,600 lbs for cargo which I definitely wasn't carrying so we were well within the towing capacity. The boat actually handled great with virtually no sway. The Durango handled the boat just fine at 63 mph.

This is the 4th time I boondocked at a Cracker Barrel, but this time it wasn't in an RV! It was in a boat! It wasn't planned. I arrived late and had to spend the night somewhere.
Launching our 23 year old boat for the first time. Only the second time on the water in 15 years.

I bought a 23 year old 2001 Bayliner Ciera 2655 for $8,000 with a long list of problems. This is our first launch (for this or any boat). After filming this I found more big problems that I need to address. Launching was smooth but loading the boat was a bit of a disaster.

This boat has been sitting in the sun for quite some time. It was last registered in 2010 (we found the 2010 sticker, but it was never put on). There is no gloss left in the gel coat.

500k worth of freedom
These guys are called “knuckle draggers”
This was slowed down for American audiences.....
iyaoyas
all the bombs and guns and all the lives lost. what a waste.
Nice watch on while preforming MX.
Your boat is not where is should be on the trailer. Need to move it forward to the bow stop. Then put a safety chain on it, sheesh....
@@adamharrold282 I know! When we loaded it last the strap broke and I couldn’t bring it back to float it so it could be pulled forward.
I've seen bombs fall off jets n planes on carriers and bounce across the deck and not explode although I've seen the opposite happen as well. I doubt it would explode if dropped sinxe it's a missle and needs to be armed which isnt done until secured to plane.
IYAOYAS
That thing can buy 100 college tuitions, or go level a mudhut in Karachistan
How people believe equipment purchased with their tax dollars are handeled.
All that boom and we’re still reloading like we just discovered war.
The adeptus mechanicus looks odd in this one
Bruh all the money America has lol just get some robots to put the thing on. Surely that’s simple machine to create
White people really do look all the same
In real life. It's 1 person loading. 5 years later back and shoulders are F'd, VA ask if you carry your own groceries into the house and denys your claim for medical.
6531 here but i loaded on the AV-8B with VMA-223. Wait till you have to manually load 500 pounders lol always a good time
Me at 6'4", don't belong in aviation
In the Marines it only takes one female Marine to accomplish the same task. Those boys need some more time in the weight room.
So how many airmen does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Mission: Be as extra as possible for the camera. (Success) Optional objective: skip a step in the checklist and not get caught. (Failed)
Looks very similar to a tool used for pulling dowels out of timing cases on cars with chain overhead cam engines.
A simple Fox 5, push of the button and it's off.
Aim 9x i thought those were not supposed too be deployed till 2035
The max towing capacity of all 05 durango is 8950, with the right gearing, engine, upgraded trans cooler and class IV hitch. Are you sure YOUR durango is specd that way? I don't know if your trans would overheat so badly if it had the upgraded cooler options.
Nothing gay to see here😂😂
Bythe tkme they load that the ppace blow up
Why would you ask someone to do that?
Hey look my tax dollars
BINK✨ 😂 "It was just a small tap" Thats all it takes son 🤣
Dont risk the rest of the people on the roads life, your overloading that SUV. It's definitely not rated for that

That missile cost as much as 8 Porsche 911s 😅
Why/what did they scream at the end?
@@Georgie16 making sure the pilot can hear they mounted it correctly. They yelled forward and aft because the pulled it back and forth to make sure it was good.
How heavy is that missile asking in canadian lbs 🤔 😅
@@kurtisagecoutay5295 200-250 lbs
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My best friend his son used to do that in Alaska we buried him last year and now the Air Force won't put his plaque that he served for 6 years on his grave site it's nice to see that we hold our servicemen so high in deer that they are just cannon fodder when they are civilians
We have self check out, self driving cars, robots deck, that go up and down the isles of our food markets, Drones, and then other areas were still in the Stone Age, when these three guys get out in the military, what are they gonna put on their résumé?. Was misled by my recruiter
Sidewinder Thing of beauty
What are the guys in the back talking about?
So what happens if you drop it does it real blow up?
@@MikeyWatkins no because it needs to be armed electronically
Phuck this...
I bought a def refractometer in case I needed it at the fleet I worked at 10 years ago. Never needed it until last week when the fleet bought newer equipment with aftertreatment last year.
and i tought it was risking to carry my television to another room
" tight tight tight tight tight tight tight" . When your tryin not to go before she does
Just get the wrinkles out with a heat gun, i bet it shrinks like these other wraps and maybe you could get the wrinkles out that way buy idk tbh
@@dominikborno4133 tried and it didn’t work. The wrap is too cheap.
Ritual carrying to please the machine spirit.
Naw I’m straight capt
