About 25 years ago I was a nuclear technician on US submarines and dealt with occupational exposure. It was interesting to see your radiation measurements at the test site after 56 years. I thought you'd be interested in some perspective. I noticed the meter reads in micro roentgen per hour and your max was somewhere around 80. Exposure is generally talked about in mrem where a rem is the equivalent tissue damage the body would receive from a roentgen of radiation. A typical chest x-ray is about 10 mrem which means at 80 micro roentgen per hr it would take 125 hours to receive the equivalent whole body exposure of a chest x-ray at the doctors office. In some ways that is a pretty low radiation level, but if you lived there you would be getting an x-ray every 5 days. Hope that helps and I love watching your videos as I sail my Cal 29 around the Southern California channel islands.
Hey, Rob wow I also have a back ground of fixing big screw ups with hot WMDS. Just to let you know what's it's like. I hand CARRYED a home made back pack nuke into a deep bunker April 14, 1986 SC. My job was to DISARM it and make it go off dirty. Did half, disarmed it. Had to smash the core out side the back pack. All of us were cooking alive. And we new it. Hazmat teams would not be back for 72 hours. Our hair fell out. We blistered all over. Had second degree burns 100% of our bodys. Beet red. Your arms and fingers start to curl. Your balls, get hot as shit. Your cooking but no sweat. Then the bleeding starts, nose first, then ears , and your eyes drip, a mix of blood and tears. You soil your self. As your body curls into a ball, the pain is wild. Jaws want to clamp down, so u put something in your mouth. All of the MARINES who stood guard in the bunker inside and out all died. I was the only PHD in engineering I refused treatment and live. DOD studyed me as I died more each day. 2 weeks after a world record expose to WEPONS grade 235. I started to eat again, small spoon of honey, then crushed almonds. My body looked like a walking skeleton. My 190 body, melted down to under 80 pounds, you could see my heart pumping. Wild days. Pentagon gave me a bag of METALS. Injoy the sailing. I've, been in SUBS, many times. 1987 file named 3 pink migs, I captain a new trident 2 out of Iran waters under attack, I'll save that story...
I happened to be able to visit a friend who had an office in the Lucy Cavendish college section of Cambridge University, which incidentally was opposite the room where Lord Rutherford split the atom. I understand that this was 1917..and even today, a Geiger counter can still return readings from within the office. Great episode as usual. Atb from across the ditch here in Nz.
I've missed Pascale and her captivating ways. What a wonderful person to crew with and sail the high seas. If there's an encore to this life, I am going to look for her without a doubt and a full checkbook.
Excellent work guys ... I love the pace of Pascale's narration, plus she has a great voice for the job. The common and scientific name captions for the underwater species seen is also muchly appreciated.. but, that Hammerhead would have scared the willies out of me... Thanks. Pots.
Your cinematography is exceptional, your story lines are informative, and the experience you impart onto others is priceless. What more needs to be stated - you operate a wonderful channel.
I love your channel, no bikinis or sexy outfits, down to earth people. Learn so much about the fish and marine creatures. Also about the mechanics of the boat and how you fix things. I swear Troy can fix anything! And your warm, natural relationship. You guys are one lucky couple and I wish the channel more and more success. Excellent work.
So glad to see a new video from you guys, it truly is my ~half hour of peace every week. Another episode filled with great humor, good tips and tricks and amazing video as usual, you really do spoil us! I'm really looking forward to watching you retrace your steps with all the knowledge I have accumulated from watching your channel over the years, I feel like my perspective on your videos might be different this time around. Knowing Australia I'm sure you won't have to set foot in the same place you did last time (unless you want to) on your mission to show us your amazing country. Absolutely exceptional footage of that hammerhead, what a special creature that is. Can't wait for next week, thank you again!
Hi, impellers and nitriles.if there are no rips in the rubber,give them a good boiling,if proper stuff they come back to life.same for valves in toilet pumps.saves a fortune.
If I'm reading your radiation counter correctly, when you were at the highest exposure area, about 60 metres from the concrete pillar, it was reading up to 30 millirem per hour. The average human receives about 240 millirems per year from just natural ground , air and cosmic-bombardment radiation. However, in some places (for example granite bedrock) you can get much higher levels of background readings; health warnings start if you're living in an area ten times above the average. Provided I'm interpreting it correctly, if you'd stayed in the highest radiation reading point for eight hours, you would have received the normal radiation dose anyone can expect to get in a year; but the chances of this causing any health problems would still be very low.
Interesting to see the change in way people see shark's nowadays, now that sadly our species are bringing them to the brink of extinction. Another beautiful video, thank you and happy new year.
Great video guys, I love the swell bridle, so much easier than the hassle of stern and bow anchor. I’ll use that next time at Long Island 😉 Happy New Year ⛵️🥳
Such a stunning place. I think you have the squid handling down pat now Pasquale, I didn’t see a drop of ink on the boat. A little hint with the pronunciation of zooplankton. Rather than saying zoo plankton, try zoh oh, so that it sounds like zohohplankton. Or just look up how it is pronounced in Greek. Cheers.
It's a joy to watch your vids. What a sense of humour you both have. One other comment. I've been looking back at the 1st series of FRS and I recon you guys look young now than at the beginning 4 years ago......Happy New Year, looking forward to the next video adventure.....jDavid
Back of envelope Calc suggests Australian limit for member of public might be reached in ~21days of 24/7 exposure at ~70 Rontgen. (Assumes all of the radiation energy is absorbed by body tissues). But I think another commenter said units were in milli-Rontgen, so my calcs above would then be 1000 higher than actual value. In any case your meter would only be “seeing” gamma and high energy beta but not alpha radiation. Alpha would be a more serious concern if inhaled with dust/aerosols etc Conclusion; radiation dosimetry can be tricky and a deal of info and knowledge is required to make correct interpretation.
Somewhat creepy on the blast site... 8-0 But the explanation of the swell bridle and the impressive hammerhead were great! Thx for taking us with you and a belated happy new year! :-D
That Hammerhead is a serious animal. You guys know what you're doing, but I don't think I would feed the sharks until I was leaving the anchorage. I know the cockies and magpies learn REAL quick, where a free meal is going and come back soon and often, lol.
Yet another excellent episode! BTW, thanks for this tip on the Hawkins Stainless Steel Pressure Cookers. I managed to order a 3L tall model (great for two but big enough for more) and simply love it. It compliments my collection pf small-based cooking pots ideally suited to my cramped 3-burner gas stove. Thanks Guys!
Another great video. I especially appreciate the details around the anchor bridle as I would have had to learn the hard way to not just leave the anchor rode through the bow roller.
When we were experimenting with them we would set them off a night some times , so close to las Vagas that you could see them and people would go and watch them off in the distance out in the desert around Vegas you want to see the store watch the movie night breaker it's about that
Thanks team, I’ve been hanging out for the other half of the kiwi head shot video. Good to see you both back in 2022, this stuff is essential viewing at mine and I hope for many more hours of great video. Hey with that radiation you may get better visibility underwater if you start glowing. Sail safe.
TNT is most commonly assumed to be the same as (or confused for) dynamite, TNT is TNT is most commonly assumed to be the same as (or confused for) dynamite,TNT is trinitrotoluene Dynamite is clay stabilised nitroglycerin :)
Hah! - at 18:15 - We've been trying out those very same stainless steel clothes pegs! So far, they seem to be doing quite well. How are they going in a marine environment, Pascy?
They are holding up very well ;-) . It is important however to buy the good quality stainless steel ones as our friends on another catamaran didn't and their pegs have rusted quite quickly in the salty air.
G’day guys,I didn’t know about explosions over there,Woomera I’m familiar with,and Mr Hiddens walks into a clearing somewhere on one of his videos,and talks about a bunch of TNT up in a tower.It’s a bit secretive though. So thanks for making me aware of this site,all the best🙂
Remember when you two were on your way to Darwin and you thought that maybe fishermen had been feeding the the crocs and you didn't have such a good sleep one night. Maybe its not such a great idea to feed the tigers either. Some kids jumping off the back of mum and dads boat might look just like fish frames!
I recently read an article about Britian's quest for a nuclear partnership with the U.S. to share in R&D. They were trying to develop a hydrogen bomb. Something the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. had recently achieved. The result is your ground zero. Thank you. Very interesting and quite serendipitous. Great vid.
Hey Hey guys, another great one for sure! One of the things I love is when you label the fish. Please continue. while you know what kind of sharks came in, I didn't. Well I could identify one of them of course. haha.
That hammerhead was so majestic! Gosh... Great video guys! Cheers and happy new year from SY Miss Foxy in Singapore. P.S. loving my Free Range Sailing tee.
Loved this episode like all of them! I don't think I've ever seen a bad one. You talked about homemade bacon... Did I miss an episode where you made that? Did you explain how you made it?
While watching your segment on the Alpha Island test and reading up on it at the same time, it struck me that Canada, given our size and membership in the Commonwealth, somehow escaped any nuclear testing. It could have been done given the sparse population in the North and similar indifference to our native peoples. :/
I for one am very happy that Canada Did Not forsake the original peoples of that land you occupy. A whole lot of stupid can be proven academically speaking. Intent was perhaps massively more positive toward the living earth and its inhabitants.
See episode 32, here; ua-cam.com/video/n2731wi3MVE/v-deo.html After which, you can then also smoke it, as in episode 18; here; ua-cam.com/video/418PKoPGNgY/v-deo.html
I watched a show on Chernobyl a while ago on the effect radiation still had on any life. Researches were expecting either a dead zone where nothing lived or lots of seriously deformed life from the raised radiation levels but they found neither of those. Plant and animal life were reclaiming the area back to it's previous natural state and the wildlife they found were pretty similar to what you'd find anywhere. This is stretching my memory but they explained in humans for example our bodies adapt to naturally occurring radiation and from what they found at Chernobyl animal life had adapted to much higher levels with seemingly no ill effects. I'm not advocating we continue any nuclear testing and just be happy with this accident of fate. The wildlife happily living where you were warned of raised radiation levels supports what the researchers at Chernobyl found I think.
Given how much effort you guys generally put into informing/educating your viewers, I was mildly surprised that you didn't go deeper into the whole 'exposure to radioactivity' thing. But then, well, it *IS* a complex topic, and the units that your meter used (Roentgen) are not particularly helpful, as they've been superceded by far more useful units since the Roentgen was first defined almost a century ago. Your meter didn't show (that I could see), the units it displayed your cumulative exposure in, but given its' use of Roentgens, it seems safe to assume it was using REM (röntgen equivalent man) to display cumulative exposure. 48 rem is equivalent to 480 mSv, or 0.48 Sv (Sieverts). As you'll see, this assumption is well supported by the advice you were given about the maximum time you should spend ashore there. Using that assumption as a basis, we can calculate that in your brief time on the island, the two of you each received 48% of the total exposure a NASA astronaut is permitted to accumulate during their entire career. In just an hour or so(?) you were exposed to almost as much radiation as you would have been in a 12 month round-trip to Mars and back, or 3 years living on the International Space Station. Or, think of it as being equivalent to what you'd receive in a 30 year career as a flight attendant. But in just one hour. In terms of the typical background radiation that humans constantly exist in, your brief time on the island was equivalent to just over 19 months of natural background radiation exposure. Or, you could think of it as the equivalent to about 8 chest xrays. Had you stayed on the island for, say, 10-12 hours, there would be a 50% chance that you'd die within 30 days (4-5 Sv = LD50/30 - LD standing for Lethal Dose). Suffice to say that 10 times the dose you received is very often fatal. As it is, that brief visit has increased your chances of developing cancer in your lifetimes by roughly 2.5%. To try and put a slightly more fun spin on your little adventure, we could express it in terms of Banana Equivalent Doses (BED). The radiation exposure from consuming a banana (basically, radioactive potassium) is 98 nSv, or approximately 1% of the average daily exposure to radiation, which is 100 banana equivalent doses. The maximum permitted radiation leakage for a nuclear power plant is equivalent to 2,500 BED (250 μSv) per year (almost 7 bananas per day), while a chest CT scan delivers 70,000 BED (7 mSv). So in terms of BED, your time on the island was the radiation exposure equivalent to each of you eating 4,800,000 bananas in a one hour sitting! Have a Happy New Year, and please do your best to not repeat that kind of trip too often! ⚛
It sounds like you are really interested in Nuclear Radiation. Troy has recently been reading Atomic Accidents by James Mahaffey - we've found it fascinating and quite suprising how many people have lived to a ripe old age after getting massive R.E.M. exposure. This incident was a good example: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daigo_Fukury%C5%AB_Maru
Good explanation JAFO. A lot of people have no idea how radiation exposure works and are unreasonably frightened of it. In particular the LNT (Linear No Threshold) model almost certainly overestimates cancer risks dramatically, and all living creatures repair DNA damage all the time. But this is not the place to delve too deep into this, suffice to say I'd be perfectly happy to undertake this same visit myself.
@@philipwilkie3239 - Yeah, I know I greatly over-simplified things.. but as you mentioned, there's a lot of complexities and nuances to the subject, which would really require their own entire video to do justice to. And yes, I'd make such a visit too.. albeit just the once.Though for me, it's the concrete dome on Runit Island that's of the most interest.
@@Nilezy - Ok! Good to see there's someone familiar with the meter here! And if we're talking millirems instead of rems, that's a whole lot better, by a factor of 1000. Thanks!
We hope you enjoy our first episode for 2022 and your New Year's started with a bang!
Thanks for the video,, and a Happy New Year to you both.

A good story always starts with "What happened was...." Great episode guys ... Fare winds an following sea's ✌🏻💗😊❣️
The last time I watched you two, I think you had 30,000 subscribers. Glad to see the channel being successful.
Your cinematography is exceptional, your story lines are informative, and the experience you impart onto others is priceless. What more needs to be stated - you operate a wonderful channel.

A nice way to end the year. A cup of coffee and a FRS video! Happy New Year guys.
So nice to hear from you Bob. Happy New Year!
"Pointing Ship" is the naval term for the achoring method. very useful tool and can improve many anchorages.
We've got winter up here in the north! Great to see some sun! Thanks guys!
Ok this is message number 16 of " I want Free Range Sailing to come to South Australia" campaign
Cheers

The fearful symmetry of a hammerhead is so engaging. I can't help but be fascinated, spellbound.
As always I get lost in watching your videos, lost from reality, thanks again for an amazing video,
Great episode. Thanks. Fishy tales from Kiwis......hmmmm!
Oooh! That hammerhead was really cute.
Thanks for sharing such an informative episode. Here's wishing the two of you an epic 2022. 🥂🥂The thumbnail is RAD! 🤣
It's Monday, and a new FRS video watched. What a great start to the week. Thanks T&P. Loved the vid.
Amazing scenery in West Australia 🙏
That a Mumby 47 at 11:05? Seem to be really nice boats!
Interesting bit of history and I love the biology lesson during the dive. Nicely done
AWESOME AS Always LOVE watching you Two!!!! THANK a KILOTON for Sharing
So glad to see a new video from you guys, it truly is my ~half hour of peace every week.
Another episode filled with great humor, good tips and tricks and amazing video as usual, you really do spoil us!
I'm really looking forward to watching you retrace your steps with all the knowledge I have accumulated from watching your channel over the years, I feel like my perspective on your videos might be different this time around.

Absolutely exceptional footage of that hammerhead, what a special creature that is.
Can't wait for next week, thank you again!
I LOVED the last recent intro music.

10:16 Structural integrity.
I think I need a keeper, thought the video quality was poor then when I reached for my coffee I bumped into my glasses. Good stuff!
This video is a cut above the rest of the mob. Excellent work folks.
Interesting to see the change in way people see shark's nowadays, now that sadly our species are bringing them to the brink of extinction. Another beautiful video, thank you and happy new year.
Great video guys, I love the swell bridle, so much easier than the hassle of stern and bow anchor. I’ll use that next time at Long Island 😉
Happy New Year ⛵️🥳
So pleased that we could be of assistance Darren and Happy New Year to you too!
Such a stunning place. I think you have the squid handling down pat now Pasquale, I didn’t see a drop of ink on the boat. A little hint with the pronunciation of zooplankton. Rather than saying zoo plankton, try zoh oh, so that it sounds like zohohplankton. Or just look up how it is pronounced in Greek. Cheers.
Pascale, “guygers” is the official measuring unit used in bars on a Saturday night😂
Yes, but used to measure what, exactly? 😁
It's a joy to watch your vids. What a sense of humour you both have. One other comment. I've been looking back at the 1st series of FRS and I recon you guys look young now than at the beginning 4 years ago......Happy New Year, looking forward to the next video adventure.....jDavid
nice snapper you just got!!!
Have healthy, adventurous year ahead. Happy New Year Pascal & Troy, Cheers.
Ar yes the home made Bacon. I can testify there is nothing better than a traditionally cured bacon, just add salt and time. Happy New year.

We could have used that bridle in Key West!
Excellent as usual!!!
Happy New Year to my favouritist duo …. go, you two! 🎉💯🥂😎
Thanks team, I’ve been hanging out for the other half of the kiwi head shot video.
Good to see you both back in 2022, this stuff is essential viewing at mine and I hope for many more hours of great video.
Hey with that radiation you may get better visibility underwater if you start glowing.
Sail safe.
Hello from South Africa! Have children in Aus and NZ. Keep it going , your channel is fantastic 👌👍💖
Great video, you can never remember everything....!!!!,.
Have a great day
Great video! At night when it's dark see if you glow then you now you had to much radiation! Cool hammerhead!

the becquerel (Bq, international unit) and the curie (Ci, U.S. unit)are the measurements a geiger counter uses. according to what i found :-)
Great video thank you
Really enjoyed that, the radiated island held a fascinating tale and the sharks were quite beautiful if not slightly terrifying.
Thank you!
G’day guys,I didn’t know about explosions over there,Woomera I’m familiar with,and Mr Hiddens walks into a clearing somewhere on one of his videos,and talks about a bunch of TNT up in a tower.It’s a bit secretive though.
So thanks for making me aware of this site,all the best🙂
LIke it, love it and want more of it!!! Happy New Years and all the best in 2022!!! Great video as always, thanks....
Great informative video as always. Swell bridle will remember that one! Thank you 😊
So awesome to see a Giant Hammerhead up close like that, they are my favourite sharks !
Mine too
Remember when you two were on your way to Darwin and you thought that maybe fishermen had been feeding the the crocs and you didn't have such a good sleep one night.
Maybe its not such a great idea to feed the tigers either. Some kids jumping off the back of mum and dads boat might look just like fish frames!

Wow, that hammerhead is the weirdest fish, it’s so awesome to see! Happy New Year you two!
i real lve you guys !!! nice video!❤
Would like to know how you make your own bacon.
See episode 32, here; ua-cam.com/video/n2731wi3MVE/v-deo.html
After which, you can then also smoke it, as in episode 18; here; ua-cam.com/video/418PKoPGNgY/v-deo.html
Happy New Year, Troy & Pascale, looking forward to more videos this year. All the best from the UK.
When you get nekkid and glow green in the dark, you know you've gone the full Montebello. 😁 Great episode.
Feeding those sharks looks exhilarating!!

I am interested in how much power you receive from your wind turbine on average.
A great mix of information from Adventure to boat practical, Thank You. Happy New Year!
Better active than radioactive!
The Lord's blessings and a wonderful new year. NC, USA 🇺🇸
Wonderful video my friends! So much I loved here but typing on this darn thing is a pos. Love you, and wish you the most awesome new year yet!
Thanks Dave. Wishing you many adventures on Capers in 2022!
Happy new year
In 2 up, tails never fails!!!!
Given how much effort you guys generally put into informing/educating your viewers, I was mildly surprised that you didn't go deeper into the whole 'exposure to radioactivity' thing. But then, well, it *IS* a complex topic, and the units that your meter used (Roentgen) are not particularly helpful, as they've been superceded by far more useful units since the Roentgen was first defined almost a century ago.
Your meter didn't show (that I could see), the units it displayed your cumulative exposure in, but given its' use of Roentgens, it seems safe to assume it was using REM (röntgen equivalent man) to display cumulative exposure. 48 rem is equivalent to 480 mSv, or 0.48 Sv (Sieverts). As you'll see, this assumption is well supported by the advice you were given about the maximum time you should spend ashore there.
Using that assumption as a basis, we can calculate that in your brief time on the island, the two of you each received 48% of the total exposure a NASA astronaut is permitted to accumulate during their entire career. In just an hour or so(?) you were exposed to almost as much radiation as you would have been in a 12 month round-trip to Mars and back, or 3 years living on the International Space Station. Or, think of it as being equivalent to what you'd receive in a 30 year career as a flight attendant. But in just one hour.
In terms of the typical background radiation that humans constantly exist in, your brief time on the island was equivalent to just over 19 months of natural background radiation exposure. Or, you could think of it as the equivalent to about 8 chest xrays. Had you stayed on the island for, say, 10-12 hours, there would be a 50% chance that you'd die within 30 days (4-5 Sv = LD50/30 - LD standing for Lethal Dose). Suffice to say that 10 times the dose you received is very often fatal. As it is, that brief visit has increased your chances of developing cancer in your lifetimes by roughly 2.5%.
To try and put a slightly more fun spin on your little adventure, we could express it in terms of Banana Equivalent Doses (BED). The radiation exposure from consuming a banana (basically, radioactive potassium) is 98 nSv, or approximately 1% of the average daily exposure to radiation, which is 100 banana equivalent doses. The maximum permitted radiation leakage for a nuclear power plant is equivalent to 2,500 BED (250 μSv) per year (almost 7 bananas per day), while a chest CT scan delivers 70,000 BED (7 mSv).
So in terms of BED, your time on the island was the radiation exposure equivalent to each of you eating 4,800,000 bananas in a one hour sitting!
Have a Happy New Year, and please do your best to not repeat that kind of trip too often! ⚛
It sounds like you are really interested in Nuclear Radiation. Troy has recently been reading Atomic Accidents by James Mahaffey - we've found it fascinating and quite suprising how many people have lived to a ripe old age after getting massive R.E.M. exposure. This incident was a good example: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daigo_Fukury%C5%AB_Maru
Good explanation JAFO. A lot of people have no idea how radiation exposure works and are unreasonably frightened of it. In particular the LNT (Linear No Threshold) model almost certainly overestimates cancer risks dramatically, and all living creatures repair DNA damage all the time. But this is not the place to delve too deep into this, suffice to say I'd be perfectly happy to undertake this same visit myself.
@@FreeRangeLiving The Radex meter you were using measures micro Sieverts per hour or millirems (if it was the RD1503+ version)
@@philipwilkie3239 - Yeah, I know I greatly over-simplified things.. but as you mentioned, there's a lot of complexities and nuances to the subject, which would really require their own entire video to do justice to. And yes, I'd make such a visit too.. albeit just the once.Though for me, it's the concrete dome on Runit Island that's of the most interest.
@@Nilezy - Ok! Good to see there's someone familiar with the meter here! And if we're talking millirems instead of rems, that's a whole lot better, by a factor of 1000. Thanks!
heya watched all 225 vlog now can't wait for new upload's wouw that hamershark was agressive
Love it and every post every time,Thank you both .Happy New Year
Wonderful way to spend part of New Year's eve! Thank you!!😁
Our pleasure! Happy New Year!
Fantastic video guys and thanks for keeping it so real as you always do. Happy New Year to you both and a happy and safe 2022 for you both.
HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎈🎊🎆
I was watching your old videos and I couldn't find episode 31. How come ?
