My first time Kayaking and this Kayak held strong. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx4k5UrhC3v_Y4hIEaXLGvHcN5a5aBmZNB The water got pretty rough as a speed boat zipped by me, and the Kayak withstood it (I expected to be capsized). The Ores are very easy to put together, the pump worked beautifully. the seats are a bit hard to sit in after a while (I recommend sitting on the floor). after reading the reviews I was very scared it'd get a hole in it, the material is very strong and durable. The Air valve may need a small Phillips head screwdriver to adjust, other than that, it's well worth the money!(update)I've gone Kayaking in 3 Lakes and 2 rivers totaling about 40 miles. the kayak had two holes and they patched easily and no other problems can't wait for kayaking season this year!
When I went to high school I had to take geometry as one of my math classes. Using the volume of a cylinder will tell you how much weight your kayak will float. The wood touching the water floats by itself so you could basically call that a neutral weight, but the materials above the water level all count as weight along with the weight of your pipes. So you have 4" X 120" pipes. V=Pie times R squared times height so you have 1507 cubic inches of volume per pipe or 3014 cubic inches in them both. A gallon of water is 231 cubic inches so your two pipes displace 13 gallons of water. A gallon of water weighs 8.35 lbs. so your 1st effort kayak can effectively float 109 lbs. Volume displacement is not arithmetic--so if you went to 8 inch pipes you'd have 12,058 cubic inches of displacement and your kayak would now float 436 lbs.
latorgator23 I get that, but if they had gone with the original plan of using straps instead of putting screws in it, the foam would be useless. Not to mention the fact that it won’t dry inside that cavity. Unless they left the caps off to let it dry (probably 24 hours) it will just stay a goopy mess.
Air is what makes the pipe buoyant. Adding foam reduces the buoyancy of the pipe. Boat manufacturers use it for sound deadening and buoyancy if the hull sinks.
A light weight material you could use for making a cheap boat like that,is rigid insulation foam board. It will still float even if it's punctured. Where I live I can get 8'x4'x4" sheets for little over 30$. Probably need 2 sheets at the most for a boat. I love this kind of creativity! Rock on!
Alright Fellas, with a bit of googling, you could have predicted the performance without experimentation. Using the formula for the volume of a cylinder, we can calculate that a 4" pipe contains about 150 cubic inches of air per foot. Factoring in the weight of water, that will displace a maximum of about 5.4 pounds of it. Then you'll need to subtract the weight of the pipe itself, which a plumbing supply website tells me is 2lbs for a foot of the 4" stuff, which gives us a practical buoyancy of 3.4 pounds/foot. Assuming the weight of the wooden frame plus the goofball is 200 pounds, divide by 2(number of pontoons) and you'd need a 29'5" boat to even reach neutral buoyancy. In reality, you'd want the thing to sit about halfway out of the water, so we're looking a 59 foot boat. Not happening. The good news is that the volume of a cylinder increases exponentially with diameter, so if you had only doubled your diameter up to 8 inches, you'd be netting 16 1/2 pounds of buoyancy per foot. Now you only need your craft to be a manageable 12 feet. That's what you'll want to try next time.
Great video. A thing about the foam. Adding foam to an airtight void will NOT make it any more buoyant. It will prevent the void from taking on water if there were to be a breach, BUT the only thing foam is doing at this point is adding a small amount of weight. Think about it this way; what would float better? A balloon full of air? or a balloon full of foam?
Adding foam inside won't add buyoyancy. The buoyancy of an object is equal to the weight of the water it displaces essentially. As long as the object (plus you) is lighter than that, it will float. Adding foam would actually make it heavier and therefore less bouyant. You'd have to add more PVC pipes to displace more water to get it to float well. Boats always have foam in case it takes on water, to keep it somewhat buoyant and not sink to the bottom - not to help them float better.
the expanding foam would not help the buoyancy because the PVC pipe is still the same surface area on the outside. If anything, you made the buoyancy worse for the pipes by making them heavier! Still a great video though,. keep up the awesome uploads my man
Where the foam helps is if a leak occurs, the pipe fills up with water. The foam still maintains a bit of buoyancy, but depending on the foam it can soak up water also.
@Cheesy Jay if they're mounted perfectly symmetrically than yes they'll help stability, and the farther you mount them from the hull the more stable it will be (kind of like an outrigger). It will drastically impair maneuverability tho, honestly isn't worth it just buy a bigger boat if you need the capacity
You could have calculated the displacement volume of the PVC tubing. You could then figure out what length or how much tubing you would need (depending on your body weight) to keep you a float. If I'm not mistaken you want the displacement to be 3x your body weight, if you want your canoe to not only hold your body weight but remain floating with majority of it staying above the surface :)
Density of water 62.4lbs per cubic ft. Need roughly 3.2 cuft of displacement to float 200 lbs including the pvc. That equals to 14.5 ft roughly of tube, since you dont want the whole thing submerged double that so you need roughly 30 ft of 4.5" od tubing to make this work reasonably well. Keep up the great work!
I think i heard that the spray foam will absorb water instead of making it more buoyant. And putting foam in the pipe will only help when the pipe takes on water it is a reserve buoyancy so your just adding weight. Looks cool though.
You could calculate the buoyancy, but in this case an easy approximation if you ignore that density of the pipe plastic is to just fill up the pipes with water and then weight the water. The foam was great just in case it leaks, but it does decrease the buoyancy. A simple mod to make this thing float would be to add some 5 gallon water bottles as pontoons. 5 gallons is a bit more than 40 pounds of floatation. If you put a bottle on each corner then it would probably balance pretty well too and you would look so stylish 🤠
One more thing, tell your friends from Favorite when they’re doing the dozer work for the lake that if the land has ever been used as row crop acreage to make sure they do a lot of work with a sub soiler. Because if the land has ever had any field drain tile put in it to keep the water drained off of it the piping will still be there. And some of it may still be functional which could keep the lake from holding water. This could be disastrous for the lake if it’s got any in it. The subsoiler will destroy the piping so it won’t drain anymore. Just some thoughts I’ve been meaning to share for a while. Peace
Quick calculation, 1 liter of water is 1 kg of weight, the amount of water displaced (in weight) is the amount bouyant force (Archimedes figured that out in a bath tub). So if you want to support of 150 kg, make sure your pvc pipes are about 150 liters in volume.
Rob: I ran the numbers for your pontoons: You need 4ish pontoons for this to work well. Buoyancy = weight of displaced water (more or less) = (volume of pontoons)*(Water weight per volume) Your pontoons have a combined volume of 1.745ft^3 ( 1.745ft^3 = 2pontoons * 10ft * pi * (1/6ft)^2 ) Water has a weight of 62.427 lb/ft^3, so your pontoons displace about 109lbs of water when they are fully submerged. I would add another pontoon to each side (4 total) to give you a buoyancy of 218lbs. This has to support not only you but the whole weight of the kayak. Also get rid of the foam it weighs more than air so you're making it heavier, not lighter. People use foam for flotation devices because it displaces lots of space (ie, water volume) without much weight, but you already have the pipe taking up the space, so the foam isn't getting you anything.
Foam in boats is more emergency floatation in the case that the boat fills up or capsizes. Inflatable bladders would be a better idea in case of leakage of the pipes. To increase buoyancy you need to increase the volume without increasing the weight.
This will probably get lost in the comments but I heard you say you gave away your kayak, my girlfriend won't even let me buy one much less if I gave one away. How do I justify to to her that I need to purchase a boat or atleast a kayak? She thinks it is unnecessary. Also I should mention that fishing is like my most favorite thing!
If you kept the PVC fully sealed. And put a bike inner tube nipple in the top you could pressurize the pipe to 30psi(I think it's only rated for 40psi). It would actually give it more buoyancy than adding foam weight that does nothing but add weight.
Lfg is so skeptical 😂 he's a measure twice cut once kind of dude. You can tell hes been on his woodworking game. Rob on the other hand is flying by the seat of his pants lol. Yalls different personalities make for entertaining content
The pipes are more buoyant empty than with foam in them. It is a matter of displacing water , and the foam just makes the pipe heavier, thus less buoyant. If the pipe got a crack then the foam would help keep the water displaced keeping it afloat. The reason some boats (kayaks and canoes) have foam in the bow and stern is in the case of the boat capsizing it would stay somewhat afloat and not sink to the bottom of the lake.
The foam increases the density. You added mass to the same volume, mass/volume=density. More dense equals less buoyant. In the short term it makes it a safer boat because a leak wouldn't fill the pipe as quickly, but the foam will break down fairly quickly, so ultimately all it did was cost more.
Each of those pipe displace approximately 54lbs. If you estimate the weight of the kayak at 200lbs and roughly another 200lbs for you and any gear, you would need about eight of those pipe to hold you above the water line.
As long as the pipe is sealed, you don't need foam. The only thing foam does is capture air. You're actually just adding additional weight. Example, no one fills pool floats with foam so they can float.
Lunker, I too tried filling a closed container with some of that stuff which was supposed to expand to fill the interior of the container but failed terribly. The reason it doesn’t expand is that stuff needs air to activate the expansion process. To be honest, don’t put that stuff in the PVC pipes. If that stuff doesn’t float in air, then it’s heavier than air. Just cap both ends of the pipes, strap the pipes to the frame, and launch the “Pipe Dream”, (wait for it) downstream!
An object floats when that object displaces more water than what it weighs. By adding the foam you added more weight so now it must displace more water but it's volume is the same so it can't displace the extra water. It would float better if the pipes were full of air. The reason one foams a boat is so in case it sinks the foam takes up space that would normally fill with water.
FYI the 2 pvc pipes can only carry about 65 lbs each. The wood also floats and will therefore carry some weight. Best I figure, the entire thing can only keep roughly 100 lbs completely dry.
Much love bro . My brother is in Bahrain . One thing I have come to know is that the people who serve in the military will give the shirt off their back !!! Love you guys .
The best part is when you talk about cement cooling, then you skip to sitting in the tail end. So awesome. U inspire me keep that up. Laughing so hard right now. U are the shizzzzz
So, the foam has a higher density than air(we know that because it doesn't float in air) meaning adding the foam to a tube of air increased the density of the vessel. A higher density= much less boyant in water.
You should try filling the PVC tubes with helium and then sealing it lmao. The helium would undoubtedly slowly leak out, but it would be very boyant for a few hours.
There is a buoyancy calculator online... enter pipe diameter and length and it will calculate how much you need to float. That was the FIRST thing I checked when making mine.
Foam will not make it more buoyant. It’s the closed volume displacement that makes it float. Back in the day they even made giant boat hulls out of concrete. But, the spray foam will not be good over the long therm because it is not closed cell and will eventually soak up water. Your better off making a truly airtight tube, while adding a drain valve in case water does ever find its way into the tube.
A life jacket would be the preferred option the USS Sunk. You need two of those bridged together like a catamaran with the seat located between the two pontoons.
Still think you guys need to check out Skeeter Vac for misquote control. They run off propane and can cover multiple acres. Mine covers our 3 acre farm and my mom has one on a lake in woods that covers 1.5acres. Varies based on model and you can start them in May and throughout the summer have no bugs😁
Last I heard he said that the cost of the trips were coming out of his pocket. I don’t really understand that since the cost of everything for his channel comes out of his pocket. Maybe he straightened it out later but I’m really not sure.
Mats Lundberg risking getting banned if it's to scary? You were right until you said that dumb ending. He was in no danger of being banned and this was a year ago before the new rules around guns on UA-cam so you could pretty much do anything besides kill someone with a gun at that point. Plenty of channels had lots of subs and were making bank during that time only doing gun/shooting videos. It was the demonitization if I remember correctly and it's more because of the content of the stories than anything. It was only a couple months ago they changed the gun rules on UA-cam btw.
Hate to bring this up but putting foam inside the pipes does not increase the buoyancy. It in fact lessens the buoyancy by the weight of the foam. For maximum buoyancy you should seal the tubes empty. You can increase the boyancy by evacuating the air or using gas that is lighter than the atmosphere.
A class feeder for crocodiles .... An error in choosing the diameter of the pipes, It is necessary to take twice as thick. Foam does not need to be filled, it is better and easier to put a few bottles of soda inside. Good luck!
Stinger is good we have strufgled for years but after having our son7/2017 and having heavily wooded areas on my property we were gifted the mosquito magnet executive which runs on propane with an acre of coverage. Haven't seen a sucker since other then the dead ones. If you have a heavily wooded property or living area with a large mosquito population it's expensive but worth every penny and gives piece of mind when it comes to our Son being in the pool and outside.
I recommend you, instead putting 2"x4" (wood)across, continue using pvc, you gonna need 10 ,"T"s and lot of cuts but that would make it more lighter and resistant to the pressure
Best way to get foam off is to let it dry don't panic and spread it in. when it drys it peels right off. At least better than rubbing it in then you can't get it off.

Awesome Video! Congratulations *Fisherman.* Have a great week of very successful! Hug!👍🎣🐟🐠
My pipeyak used a bridge with 4 45s Angeled up 4inch tees x4 and a lawnchain in the middle and was much wider and very stable... Very happy with my build
I like the idea - it needed a couple of wings/training wheel pipes and maybe double sized PVC. I'm trying to find a way to navigate a small river safely and cheaply.
Lol next time you get the foam everywhere let it dry before removing. When you glue pvc you need to hold it for a couple seconds before you let it go too 👍🏼👍🏼
You need at least 6.5 cubic feet of airtight space to float 400 lbs, so decide how far you want it to sit in the water and you have the total surface area that you need to create to displace with air.
You have to calculate the volume of water you need to displace to float you, your gear, and the kayak plus some in order to float. Approximately 8.8 pounds per gallon.
Buoyancy is created by water displacement, adding foam to something like your boat will only help if your boat is submerged it will not help your boat float higher in the water. To calculate buoyancy first you need to calculate the volume of your two cylinders with the following equation V=πr2h which if you are using 4in pvc that is 10 ft it would be about 1.81 cubic feet. Then you need to calculate buoyant force so take the following equation F = (Vw) which in fresh water would be 112.22lbs for each pvc pipe before they are totally submerged. Someone feel free to check my math because I could be wrong but if you want your pvc sections to float half way out of water your total load weight including the kayaks weight could only be 112lbs with 2 4in pvc pipes 10 ft long..
A little math would have told you it wouldn't work. (2) 4" 10' pipes holds 13 gals. 13gals weigh roughly 104 lbs So it only takes 104 lbs (including the weight of the kayak ) to submerge it. Doubling the dia of the pipe (8" pipe) will quadrouple the volume thus quadrouple the weight capacity to 416 lbs. That should work just fine.
My first time Kayaking and this Kayak held strong. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx4k5UrhC3v_Y4hIEaXLGvHcN5a5aBmZNB The water got pretty rough as a speed boat zipped by me, and the Kayak withstood it (I expected to be capsized). The Ores are very easy to put together, the pump worked beautifully. the seats are a bit hard to sit in after a while (I recommend sitting on the floor). after reading the reviews I was very scared it'd get a hole in it, the material is very strong and durable. The Air valve may need a small Phillips head screwdriver to adjust, other than that, it's well worth the money!(update)I've gone Kayaking in 3 Lakes and 2 rivers totaling about 40 miles. the kayak had two holes and they patched easily and no other problems can't wait for kayaking season this year!
When I went to high school I had to take geometry as one of my math classes. Using the volume of a cylinder will tell you how much weight your kayak will float. The wood touching the water floats by itself so you could basically call that a neutral weight, but the materials above the water level all count as weight along with the weight of your pipes. So you have 4" X 120" pipes. V=Pie times R squared times height so you have 1507 cubic inches of volume per pipe or 3014 cubic inches in them both. A gallon of water is 231 cubic inches so your two pipes displace 13 gallons of water. A gallon of water weighs 8.35 lbs. so your 1st effort kayak can effectively float 109 lbs. Volume displacement is not arithmetic--so if you went to 8 inch pipes you'd have 12,058 cubic inches of displacement and your kayak would now float 436 lbs.
Bravo
Daamn !!
Not sure if your math is correct or not i am too lazy check; But it is impressive!
I love math people.
If the pvc is sealed, it doesn’t need foam. The foam is just extra weight. Air weighs less than foam.
and the foam won't dry
my thoughts exactly
Marc Moberg foam would just be for cracks as a backup
latorgator23 I get that, but if they had gone with the original plan of using straps instead of putting screws in it, the foam would be useless. Not to mention the fact that it won’t dry inside that cavity. Unless they left the caps off to let it dry (probably 24 hours) it will just stay a goopy mess.
um that foam will dry within an hr. Use that shit all the time
Air is what makes the pipe buoyant. Adding foam reduces the buoyancy of the pipe. Boat manufacturers use it for sound deadening and buoyancy if the hull sinks.
A light weight material you could use for making a cheap boat like that,is rigid insulation foam board. It will still float even if it's punctured. Where I live I can get 8'x4'x4" sheets for little over 30$. Probably need 2 sheets at the most for a boat. I love this kind of creativity! Rock on!

No one cares
my first thought, its like why are you adding density....
I couldn't finish watching the video. Every time they talked about buoyancy while drilling holes and adding weight
Where the foam helps is if a leak occurs, the pipe fills up with water. The foam still maintains a bit of buoyancy, but depending on the foam it can soak up water also.
You lost buoyancy when you put all that foam in the pipe. The pipe now holds less air.
Ha ha true
@Josh Frank I desperately wanted to tell them that their foam was being wasted.
Should have used 3 6" pipes
@Cheesy Jay if they're mounted perfectly symmetrically than yes they'll help stability, and the farther you mount them from the hull the more stable it will be (kind of like an outrigger). It will drastically impair maneuverability tho, honestly isn't worth it just buy a bigger boat if you need the capacity
@@th3oryO
If he made this boat wider. With bigger pipes, it would be a perfect fishing boat.
You could have calculated the displacement volume of the PVC tubing. You could then figure out what length or how much tubing you would need (depending on your body weight) to keep you a float.

i think leaving the PVC pipes empty would have been much better. And probably put a third one in the middle. Maybe 2 more
Even though the boat didn't work out very well I appreciate you posting this it is still helpful for people looking into this stuff.
Congrats on 1 million
Rob: I ran the numbers for your pontoons: You need 4ish pontoons for this to work well.
Buoyancy = weight of displaced water (more or less) = (volume of pontoons)*(Water weight per volume)
Your pontoons have a combined volume of 1.745ft^3
( 1.745ft^3 = 2pontoons * 10ft * pi * (1/6ft)^2 )
Water has a weight of 62.427 lb/ft^3, so your pontoons displace about 109lbs of water when they are fully submerged.
I would add another pontoon to each side (4 total) to give you a buoyancy of 218lbs. This has to support not only you but the whole weight of the kayak.
Also get rid of the foam it weighs more than air so you're making it heavier, not lighter. People use foam for flotation devices because it displaces lots of space (ie, water volume) without much weight, but you already have the pipe taking up the space, so the foam isn't getting you anything.
US makes everything so complicated. REST OF THE WORLD = 1 Kilogram = 1 Litre of water = 100 cubic centimetres of volume.
Jon Fisher : Are we JEALOUS!!!
Foam in boats is more emergency floatation in the case that the boat fills up or capsizes. Inflatable bladders would be a better idea in case of leakage of the pipes. To increase buoyancy you need to increase the volume without increasing the weight.
Always twist your PVC when glueing it. Helps kinda eat the plastic and put better seal. Done electrical all my life and just kinda helps.
You guys are maniacs for making vids every day in this Texas heat. It's been 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This will probably get lost in the comments but I heard you say you gave away your kayak, my girlfriend won't even let me buy one much less if I gave one away. How do I justify to to her that I need to purchase a boat or atleast a kayak? She thinks it is unnecessary. Also I should mention that fishing is like my most favorite thing!
best gift ever for LFG! these flies in texas during this time of yr are the ultimate pest
Guys it is very simple to calculate the liters of water that enter the PVC pipes and this is what floats you have to calculate first. regards
Dang, you beat me to it rob and lfg. I was gonna build one of these. Homemade stand up paddle board anyone?
Zip tie a few foam swimming noodles to the sides. They'll help increase the kayak's buoyancy and keep the kayak from dipping under the water.
Lunkers to 2,000,000
Outdoors Men 2m and on!

The Loctite brand of that expanding foam is much much better. Trust me.
Vanilla Gorilla Loctite and Rigid, won't go wrong with either
Lunker, I too tried filling a closed container with some of that stuff which was supposed to expand to fill the interior of the container but failed terribly. The reason it doesn’t expand is that stuff needs air to activate the expansion process. To be honest, don’t put that stuff in the PVC pipes. If that stuff doesn’t float in air, then it’s heavier than air. Just cap both ends of the pipes, strap the pipes to the frame, and launch the “Pipe Dream”, (wait for it) downstream!
Has a Truck still sticks pvc out the back window
He has a cover on the back and it's still probably full of a lot of stuff
Did you knows he had bed cover and a bunch of stuff in the back of his truck
An object floats when that object displaces more water than what it weighs. By adding the foam you added more weight so now it must displace more water but it's volume is the same so it can't displace the extra water. It would float better if the pipes were full of air. The reason one foams a boat is so in case it sinks the foam takes up space that would normally fill with water.
Much safer to just use a notebook and keep in a safe, no website is unhackable! Remember that 👍🏻
FYI the 2 pvc pipes can only carry about 65 lbs each. The wood also floats and will therefore carry some weight. Best I figure, the entire thing can only keep roughly 100 lbs completely dry.
I'd fish out of it...

Dashlane is GREAT. Have used it for about 3 yrs, syncs between all your devices. TWO thumbs up!!
THE GOON PONTOON
Much love bro . My brother is in Bahrain . One thing I have come to know is that the people who serve in the military will give the shirt off their back !!! Love you guys .
You can go to Walmart and buy a kayake for $150
The real fun is to build a boat not to buy:-?
Save $50.00 use it for a cooler and something to drink
amazon has an ice inflatable one for 80 bucks
Academy have one inflatable two persons for 64 plus Tex en forth wort tx
Yeah but buying one isn't as fun as watching him build one. 😁
The best part is when you talk about cement cooling, then you skip to sitting in the tail end. So awesome. U inspire me keep that up. Laughing so hard right now. U are the shizzzzz
Why not put pool noodles in the pipes?
So, the foam has a higher density than air(we know that because it doesn't float in air) meaning adding the foam to a tube of air increased the density of the vessel. A higher density= much less boyant in water.
You should try filling the PVC tubes with helium and then sealing it lmao. The helium would undoubtedly slowly leak out, but it would be very boyant for a few hours.
Foam is why it’s sinking
na he didn't have enough boyancy to start with to support the overall weight, foam didn't add much weight but he is using the wrong foam.
did the math just 2 x 10ft 4in PVC pipe could support 108lbs including the weight of the pipe
Lol, foam doesn't equal more buoyancy XD
Cody Teichert No but if the pvc leaks and gets wet it will still float. Whereas with no foam it would sink quickly.
Cody Teichert fuck you
Jody Huber ; Woah man, just take it easy
whats your problem bro? I kept it clean, why you so pissed? You're the reason why cousins shouldn't fuck.
There is a buoyancy calculator online... enter pipe diameter and length and it will calculate how much you need to float. That was the FIRST thing I checked when making mine.
Steven no strong:(
When you are working with new pvc DONT PUT PIPE PRIMER ON IT, it makes the pipe brittle only use it when connecting old pipe to new couplers
Has anyone noticed that rob has been saying thicc as cardi B in like every video smh 🤦♂️
Have you seen Lardi B? Now that girl THICC
Foam will not make it more buoyant. It’s the closed volume displacement that makes it float. Back in the day they even made giant boat hulls out of concrete.
But, the spray foam will not be good over the long therm because it is not closed cell and will eventually soak up water. Your better off making a truly airtight tube, while adding a drain valve in case water does ever find its way into the tube.

A life jacket would be the preferred option the USS Sunk.
You need two of those bridged together like a catamaran with the seat located between the two pontoons.
Still think you guys need to check out Skeeter Vac for misquote control. They run off propane and can cover multiple acres. Mine covers our 3 acre farm and my mom has one on a lake in woods that covers 1.5acres. Varies based on model and you can start them in May and throughout the summer have no bugs😁
The best way to remove spray foam is to let it set up then it just pulls up without leaving a ton of residue.
#ssturdbucket.. that's the name for it..
Daniel Garrett call it the shitter
The Turd Tube.
Ssslipperyturd
Daniel Garrett go check out ua-cam.com/video/0cMgQQRYh6c/v-deo.html lunkers literally stole this video
Except that guy's worked
add 2 more pvc pipes and she'll float. At that rate, the water will water log the wood and will sink in no time. Gotta keep the wood dry.
What happened to military Monday's
CASTILLO'S PERFECT OUTDOORS
You will have to read the book!
Last I heard he said that the cost of the trips were coming out of his pocket. I don’t really understand that since the cost of everything for his channel comes out of his pocket. Maybe he straightened it out later but I’m really not sure.
They ended like a year ago lol
Its about youtube and demonitasion.... every thing with war or guns = no money and risk getting baned if the content is to "scarry"
Mats Lundberg risking getting banned if it's to scary? You were right until you said that dumb ending. He was in no danger of being banned and this was a year ago before the new rules around guns on UA-cam so you could pretty much do anything besides kill someone with a gun at that point. Plenty of channels had lots of subs and were making bank during that time only doing gun/shooting videos. It was the demonitization if I remember correctly and it's more because of the content of the stories than anything. It was only a couple months ago they changed the gun rules on UA-cam btw.
No foam required if straps are used instead of drilling holes in the pvc. Add 4 tees, and install out riggers.
Congrats on the Million subs n the new book, preordered ASAP.
Hate to bring this up but putting foam inside the pipes does not increase the buoyancy. It in fact lessens the buoyancy by the weight of the foam. For maximum buoyancy you should seal the tubes empty. You can increase the boyancy by evacuating the air or using gas that is lighter than the atmosphere.
That's so cool. Do another!
The foam is going to do anything but add weight. Flotation is based on displacement. Think about battleships, they are steel.
Wait Rob was accused of being the guy that crashed the Malaysian airlines flight?! Holy shit thats an insane story lol
It would be more buoyant without the foam, because air would be less dense - as long as the tubes were water tight.
I looked at this for 5 sec and knew that it wont displace enough water to support your weight....i dont know how you people survive
It would only take a few plastic jugs underneath for it to work though it's a good top for a float.
Same.i thought it was very obvious...apparently not
A class feeder for crocodiles .... An error in choosing the diameter of the pipes, It is necessary to take twice as thick. Foam does not need to be filled, it is better and easier to put a few bottles of soda inside. Good luck!
Robs pale feet tho
Stinger is good we have strufgled for years but after having our son7/2017 and having heavily wooded areas on my property we were gifted the mosquito magnet executive which runs on propane with an acre of coverage. Haven't seen a sucker since other then the dead ones. If you have a heavily wooded property or living area with a large mosquito population it's expensive but worth every penny and gives piece of mind when it comes to our Son being in the pool and outside.
Meet up wisconsin plzzz
Hell ya brother
Wisconsin for life
I recommend you, instead putting 2"x4" (wood)across, continue using pvc, you gonna need 10 ,"T"s and lot of cuts but that would make it more lighter and resistant to the pressure
gnarlyyyy
I'm pretty sure that foam will absorb water. They make waterfall foam that can get wet.
LOL! Awesome video!
Best way to get foam off is to let it dry don't panic and spread it in. when it drys it peels right off. At least better than rubbing it in then you can't get it off.
Awesome Video!
Congratulations *Fisherman.*
Have a great week of very successful!
Hug!👍🎣🐟🐠
Try cutting a 55 gallon barrel in half and put it where your feet would be it will help hold stuff and help with buoyancy
My pipeyak used a bridge with 4 45s Angeled up 4inch tees x4 and a lawnchain in the middle and was much wider and very stable... Very happy with my build
I like the idea - it needed a couple of wings/training wheel pipes and maybe double sized PVC. I'm trying to find a way to navigate a small river safely and cheaply.
Lol next time you get the foam everywhere let it dry before removing. When you glue pvc you need to hold it for a couple seconds before you let it go too 👍🏼👍🏼
... Barely 2 mins in, and I'm getting flash backs from Matt and Rob's last cardboard boat building challenge.
RIP, surfboard...
You need at least 6.5 cubic feet of airtight space to float 400 lbs, so decide how far you want it to sit in the water and you have the total surface area that you need to create to displace with air.
You want to put the skeeter sapper out in the woods well away from where you are , the skeeter will attract to it so you don’t want it near you
You have to calculate the volume of water you need to displace to float you, your gear, and the kayak plus some in order to float. Approximately 8.8 pounds per gallon.
Buoyancy is created by water displacement, adding foam to something like your boat will only help if your boat is submerged it will not help your boat float higher in the water. To calculate buoyancy first you need to calculate the volume of your two cylinders with the following equation V=πr2h which if you are using 4in pvc that is 10 ft it would be about 1.81 cubic feet. Then you need to calculate buoyant force so take the following equation F = (Vw) which in fresh water would be 112.22lbs for each pvc pipe before they are totally submerged. Someone feel free to check my math because I could be wrong but if you want your pvc sections to float half way out of water your total load weight including the kayaks weight could only be 112lbs with 2 4in pvc pipes 10 ft long..
You can shove in pool noodles for reserve buoyancy on your next one. Those things work REALLY well.
guys... A little math was really helpful there... A good plumbing store, and the pipes twice the capacity, and you were an instant success...
I was so glad you finally moved that car so you had more room , drove me crazy!!
Geoffrey Hawn pure gold thank you
A little math would have told you it wouldn't work.
(2) 4" 10' pipes holds 13 gals.
13gals weigh roughly 104 lbs
So it only takes 104 lbs (including the weight of the kayak ) to submerge it.
Doubling the dia of the pipe (8" pipe) will quadrouple the volume thus quadrouple the weight capacity to 416 lbs. That should work just fine.
