I already have some that my mom got for me thay are amazing
Do you know Adam Carriker Matt?
Wow even the bears just passing through the border
I have been waiting for 2 weeks for my Raycon......
Please do a hunting video
19 minutes of Matt explaining to us how the sun makes things hot
He has always said that he likes to learn a new thing, every day.🤣
Don't forget telling us how awesome Raycons are.
You mean using the drone on camera for a tax right off 😂
Well, he is a doctor... ish.
And loved it
We use thermal drones to find missing hikers all the time
It's one of the best tool in our arsenal
*THATS COOL*
Wonder if Matt actually has his 107, or if he is just buying them at a local store, and has no clue.
Nice! I'm in sar as well and have aspirations of building a long range thermal-equipped flying wing. One of these days...
you should post some videos of rescues, you can cut when close-up if they want privacy, but would be cool and educational
Sar was the first thing I thought of. Cheap and fast, can cover a lot of terrain quickly,
I've got a friend who has a ranch of sorts, something like this would be cool to see what sort of wildlife is around...
Great seeing Drew on here with you. Wouldn't mind having him around more often to get to know him a little better. Very cool video. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I didn't even know he had a brother
@@I_Scorched_YouTwo - Mark who passed away from cancer a few years ago who was just a couple of years younger than Matt, and Drew is quite a bit younger. They've also got a sister who I believe is closer to Drew's age.
@@I_Scorched_You He has a huge gaming channel called operatordrewski.
I didn’t know drewski was his brother until Matt threw shade at him on unsubscribe podcast haha
@@bowed305 what?! A sister?!?!
Female bears have a home range of 6sq miles on average, and males are about 35sq miles. With all the sheep, and the ranch being abandoned for so long, I could easily see them making it their home! Maybe in one of the caves you haven't found!
Agree
Maybe it's one of the caves they DID find! O_O
Bears are excellent climbers. 5 years ago i was with three of my caving friends and we were just about to go down inside a perfectly vertical shaft, no strata gaps, just cliff face, just big enough to fit a whiskey barrel down its central axis. We dropped rope and we were prepping the gear when a black bear (european variant) popped out right in the middle of us, looked at us, we looked at it, it sniffed or huffed at us and just walked past us into the forest. Suffice it to say we went home early for a change of unmentionables. Bears are better climbers than us.
Last month, there was a missing dog (tri color male Australian Shepherd) in the town I work in, and they used 2 thermal drones to try to locate him. Funny fact, the dog's name is Bear.
I have a longhair black cat named Bear
LOL
That wouldn’t have happened to been in northwest Arkansas would it ? My old Tri color was named Bear I had to rehome him a few years back. I miss that dog like crazy
Fun fact - Australian Shepherds aren't.
@@kennethwright8081 no, southeastern Connecticut.
I can imagine the discussion with Drew.
Matt: "hey man, wanna hang out on the ranch? We are going to sit around for several hours at night looking at stuff with night vision and a thermal drone"
Drew: "say no more, on my way"
If you say thermal 3 times a wild Drewski appears.
That's just how this works.
Thermal Thermal Thermal
Matt, work with thermal a lot. The reason why there are times you have a hard time distinguishing between that and trees is a phenomenon called thermal crossover. Nothing to do with your setting, just the ambient temperature of the two object being perceived by thermal imaging. It occurs mostly as dusk and dawn, but you will get it a lot in vegetation and undulating terrain with thermal currents. Best time will always be night but best time of day is as far away from dawn and dusk (ie midday)
Mat you might want to walk the area that the bear was seen first to see if there are any bear signs, such as tracks or scat. When you find that it will give you a better target area. When you find any signs of the bear if its female and is making the ranch its home range it can be 2.5 to 10 square miles, if its a male its range can be a much larger area that being 10 to 59 square miles. Hope this helps your Bear locating.
Keep in mind, water is reflective (and some other surfaces are too)...so you can get false signatures with thermal cameras from those.
Yup, glass, shiny surfaces, will give a reflected thermal signature.
Metal like whiteboards has the same effect. @@warrenharrison9490
Exactly. Most people disregard emissivity. (Not on purpose)
Cellular game cameras along the game trails might help. Don't have to actively look. When you see a bear consistently on a game camera then you can go out with the drone.
"I found an abandoned bear on my resort" or... There's a joke in there somewhere about a illegal Mexican bear...
you and Drewski are two of my favorite people. Both incredibly talented and good at your own respective crafts. It would be awesome to see more videos of you guys together!
Today on the ranch, Matt finds an abandoned thermal drone! It still works!
yawn
Right “searching for bear”…. Man has the best security system on the planet now👀🎥
That's what I was thinking.
His buddy Garrand thumb knows how to fashion a drone to drop items too 👀
@@mattbenson6698
"Today on Demolition Ranch we are going to see how well a Thermal Drone can detect and eliminate... I mean illuminate a trespasser....?"
A slight puddle of mud will stop it
@@mattbenson6698 "items"...
Matt is living every man's dream.
Always nice to see you and Drew hangin out
So cool to see Matt and his brother hanging out.
Best sales video ever. Now I want a thermal drone. 😳
I just recently spotted a bear sittin in a tree to soon find out she was tryin to get away from her 2 cubs at the base of the tree 🤣 I was absolutely floored to have spot them. I fly the M3P as well and have Inspire 2 as well as the new Mini 4
Black bear cubs climb surprisingly well, her climbing the tree wouldn't have got her away from them if they wanted to follow. Its more likely she heard you coming long before you saw her and got up the tree for her own protection and the cubs were just too dumb to do the same, lol.
@Uradamus lol that makes sense I was thinkin about it from a humor point but that's prolly exactly what she was doing. I got it all on video and everyone I've showed it too love it 😅
Black bear just going on vacation on Desparado/Demolition ranch!
Such a sweet gadget lol And good on you for allowing Lincoln to explore hunting even though it’s not your thing necessarily!!
Idk if a bear would hibernate in Texas but just remember you got alot of caves on that property 😂
My uncle is a farmer in Germany, he uses a drone with a thermal camera to check for fawns before harvesting his corn and grain fields.
Brings back memories of my time in law enforcement. I was certified in thermal cameras. So many cool things you can do!
@Matt Carriker thermals will work in all normal temps because they display the difference (or delta) between the thermal energy being emitted between objects graphically. There is a phenomenon that happens twice daily that makes it more difficult to see that but you can still use it during the day.
I see Mark when i look at Drew. Definitely brothers ❤
Cool seeing your brother again the thermal is sweet
Matt, it’s crazy how much your content has matured since the start. Thanks for the entertainment, glad for your success! You were built for this.
should buy a bunch of trail cameras and set them all around the resort, and get a few for your chickens too, and the goats.
Definitely need more Drew on the ranch.
There has been black bear in Myrtle Beach SC forever and with the explosion of construction at the beach they are now in our country 70 miles West. Many more than most know . .
Had a black bear come outside my tent when camping at Lake Tahoe. Nothing like the sounds of large creature sniffing around a piece of fabric away from your head. It was an experienced bear because it hit the bear box doors to see if we had really latched them before lumbering off. The neighbors got out pans and scared it off with a bunch of noise.
Linc is gonna be pissed tryna play hide and seek with you 🤣
Sweet video Matt ..... Night vision thermal stuff is always cool to see.
I’ve got the same drone, and would gladly volunteer my time to come help find the bear! You’re not too far away!
If you want to try and attract that bear to a certain area get peanut butter and cree the lid to a tree about 6 to 7 foot up and cut the bottom of the container out and pour honey on it after you get it set on the tree. If there is a bear it will attract it to that spot.
Matt the bear was seen by caver's so it's clearly a cave bear.
😄
Congrats link!!! So proud of you watching you grow over the years
OD sporting the full Magnum P.I. for the win.
"With great 'stache comes great responsibility."
Matt, I teach a lot of people how to operate their DJI Mavic 3T and I have to say you're already doing really well and have a pretty good understanding.
I love seeing all the different things around the ranch
The Mavic 3T Enterprise drone is around $5,000+ for anyone curious.
That's the baby thermal. He needs a Matrice with the $10K payload thermal and then the $15K lidar attachment. But since it's all a tax write off he might as well go balls out Inspire 3. Of course it would help if he had his Part 107 for the drones he already has so he doesn't continue to risk having the FAA make an example out of him.
Wow!
@@boboso7238You seem to be exactly these people who think that things are free when they are "tax write off"
Black bear used to be fairly common game in South/Central/SE Texas. I've heard of a few spotting around the Houston area the past few years.
That drone is totally awesome. Sometimes I get really frustrated with technology but drones are awesome n definitely good to have for all the reasons you gave.
Okay, I have to admit it. For me being an old broad I was super impressed. Thanks Matt for sharing this great video n for me to met you brother Drew.
♥️♥️😊👍👍🌟👍
More drone footage with this matt. Please 🙏
Nice to see Operator Drewsky!
Black bear are pretty harmless. Most of the time... Only have to really worry about a sow with cubs. We had a pile of them at camp. We used to bounce marshmallows off their faces and they would run off. They always came back for the mallow, but they were way more scared of us than we were of them. Like a big danger puppy 😂
Oh man, I loved seeing Drew! We don't get enough Drew content!
Won't give up on that bear search eh?😂😂 Love it
you should get a drone with lidar and give the ranch a scan for people to look at on the website!
they already did this. (for the buildplans for the restaurant) they also scanned the whole propperty
And can you find caves with that Lidar too? I think there's ground penetrating lidar which is a lil dif than what they used already
Lidar works with lasers by detecting the reflections and measuring the time it takes to get back to the source.
I can't imagine that there is ground penetration possible.
@@jweb45 I think you're thinking of ground penetrating radar, LiDAR doesn't penetrate the ground.
Great video Matt with your brother. Thermal drone is a great idea, for so many reasons, and will be handy to have when you need to find something on your resort. I hope if there is a bear you find it. Congrats to Link too.🎉
Love from Australia ❤
Sounds fun for you and Drew, loves to see beautiful deers around with flying camera, awesome video!😉🦌🦌🦌🦌🌲😄
Love the content Matt. Thx for so many years of it
Drew’s stache is becoming stuff of legend… ooooor getting him on some watchlists
With the amount of caves on your property that bear may just be chilling in them which is why you never see him. Probably chills in the cool caves during the hot days then comes out to forage at night or like you said he was just moving through. But until you're certain I wouldn't go in any caves without a pew.
I'd like to see the thermal drone watching some fully auto fire. With and without tracer rounds to see to difference.
At least you can search a rescue for people that get lost in the ranch 😂😂
the Mavic T is one thats heavily used for the Utility field, mostly by electric companies and Telecom to find faults and issues within the grid/net. a hot line is easy to detect with thermal and much easier than trying to determine thermal resistance values. I've used a drone to find aerial line faults on Copper trunk lines that feed entire cities, those things push a couple hundred volts and a fault will make them glow bright af on thermals.
I got my self Autel evo dual 640T enterprise. Great build quality. And no Geofencing. Plus it has special option for hyumen search. Will do some animal searches, pet searches and if needed people search plus inspections.
Love the content with the drones. Just watch taking the batteries to critical (sub 30%) as it can damage the battery. Also, leaving them on but not flying can overheat the drone. Lots of fail safes built in the DJI products thankfully to keep that stuff to a minimum should you push it too its limits but still best practice. I would be a little careful about what you post due to the FAA cracking down on content creators as well. With the new remote ID laws in place for uav pilots you may find some of the things you want to do carry some hefty fines now. :( If you aren't 107 certified you will definitely want to be or have someone that is along with the knowledge that comes with it to avoid any run ins with the FAA. Other than that I can't wait to see the amazing footage you get with the new Thermal on the Demolitionranch channel!
Keep up the awesome work and can't wait to book my stay at the Desperado :)
If he has this monetized, he has to have a Part 107 I read a while back.
"Everything the light touches is our demo-kingdom." Matt Carriker probably
🤣😂🤣
I bet you find all kinds of interesting things with that.
Matt wanted a thermal drone, but couldnt justify to mere why he needed it. Then he had a caver say he saw a bear, saw there were actually bear sightings around, and ran straight to mere explaining why he now needed a thermal drone. Thats my new head cannon
It's a shame this episode wasn't sponsored by DJI they would of loved this!
I’ve been saying Cleetus needs something like this for the burnout comps.. Would be sick
He uses a drone for that already? I've seen it quite a few times...
They always have drones recording and have for multiple years now.
@@REDSHlFT ............ Im talking about a Thermal drone to see the heat in the engine bay and tires in the smoke
Black Bears flocking to Texas from California too.
There should be a setting on there called target identification. It will lower the power of scanning the background and focus more power on scanning heat signatures. Making them clearer and show up from farther away
Quality Drone and definitely a great addition to the resort !!
Not only will it help you to find the wild animals but it'll also give you peace-of-mind when you open the resort since you can do a fly-over of the ranges so you know that no-one is walking or working around them before anyone starts shooting.
A Quick Question.....How much was the Thermal Drone ??
They're like $6,200
It's always good to have an excuse to buy a new drone...you can even tell Mare...
Mere is no longer in the picture...
Lots of love frome germany
The drone content is actually really cool and I’d love to see more like this
Bears heard everybody else was crossing the border so they figured why not - if you see one remember to yell at him in Spanish
Thermal Drone Makes it Easy to Search for Russians in My Country ;)
Our local law enforcement have drones and have used them quite a bit to find people who walk away from home. Like the elderly etc.
"Grandma detected. Dropping grenade"
I've been hunting with nightvision for a little while. In my experience the best time for nightvision is a couple of ours after sunset, because you still can ser clear contrast from trees etc. because they hold the heat for a longer time than say thin bushes and grass and stuff. But you of course also see animals really well. So if contrast and clearity is what you ate going for than yes, a couple of hours after sunset is the best time for it.
Sorry, ment thermal
@@JohannTheBurntwhat's the price of the product
@@svvk-qh4dj It's about 1,5k used. It was a good one
Sure hoping everything is fine at home. I haven't seen Mere in months. No family videos. No home videos. Channel name change. I could be thinking into this too much but I've been here for a really really long time. Miss seeing the family videos mixed in with everything else on this channel.
Matt and Mere are no longer a thing...get used to it.
@@klong1972 how do you know this? I'm not prying into anything. Ive just been here since the very beginning. Long portion of my life and have grown with this family
Black bears used to be very naive to the hill country TX Studies are showing they are making their way back into the hill country. sighting all over the place the closest to you are near the Kerrville area as well and Uvalde is the most recent with pictures and ultimately it being captured by game wardens
I love how Matt makes up crazy reasons to buy the next coolest “thing”!
This video was super cool! Cool to see the critters on your property and this technology.
You want to go out at night and use the black and white filter with your range from a little below ambient temp to 100deg. and set up an "isotherm" for anything over like 85-90deg+. That'll make the ground and trees almost black and anything with a body temp in the 90s show red.
I love when drew joins matt for videos. It reminds me allot of when my borther and i get to spend time together. We dont get to see each other often because i work so much.
Great seeing you and Drew on here and at the range event the other day.
Real funny 😂 at the end Matt’s brother sounds just like him.
🙏🇺🇸🙏
It was nice to see you and Drew together. Pretty cool Drone
Sick need more night time episodes!
You can also use the drone for hearding sheep to a specific enclosed field area.
Such an interesting video about the drone and the animals, it wasn't even really about the ranch itself, but it was great!
Next range day at the resort... This would be an epic mad minute with the hot flamely rounds with the thermal drone
We need more drew!! I love the brother collaborations
That is awesome Matt. Tell your son congratulations from the Williams family in Maine. I’d love to see a picture of his dear that’s just super cool. I could see you were super proud and I bet your son was so happy and proud as well. I still remember my first kill, it was the best feeling just knowing I was part of something that spans to the 1700’s in Maine.
honestly i'd be fine with more drone videos.. this was so cool!
Love seeing you and drewski together, reminds me of me and my older brother
Love this style of video bro!!
Love all the videos coming out so quickly
Awesome video as always Matt!!
Well, thank you for the heads up about bear here in Central Texas. I have been lusting after a thermal drone for years to find hogs on the ranch.
Awesome video Matt !
i love seeing you hang out with you brother
We use thermal drones in the oilfield quite a bit to detect leaks on pipe or fittings
