Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@phillthefattman8671 says : Pretty sure we all love an hour long video every now and then regardless of what the content is>> <<@robbiestewart1984 says : Did you end up replacing the fire pump on your truck Matt i know the feeling of having water leaks my first generation fire trailer design which included a 1.7 hp pump had leak after leak so end up upgrading to a 7.5 hp honda remake fire pump that is much more water tight>> <<@1911GreaterThanALL says : Same plate carrier. If I need something else I grab a different bag or chest rig to attach to the carrier.>> <<@TheRoughNeckGamer says : I have a car that would look perfect in there lol>> <<@mervallan1822 says : I would suggest a second battery to allow for times when there is insufficient sun for a long period!>> <<@aalcapia1 says : Late to the party but i keep 3 rigs light, heavy, and tactical. With bug out bags geared towards my secondary fall back shelter. I also run a filtration system off my water storage system consisting of gravel, sand, charcoal and ammonia remover.>> <<@Bandsmen says : Preparing for the coming civil w*r Matt..?>> <<@vortigan9068 says : so we aint gonna say nun about that thumbnail?>> <<@je2848 says : Pro tip Matt, treat your ceramic plates with care. They're really good at stopping bullets, but if you drop them or toss them around it can crack the ceramic and compromise the ballistic capability of the plate. They're different from steel in that regard. Stay safe.>> <<@martinf2740 says : I was watching - your truck never moved. How did you have everything you needed without making 20 trips to the hardware store? 😊>> <<@robinmacallister6522 says : Off Grid is always a great idea.>> <<@americaman9115 says : I NEED THOSE SPOT LIGHTS>> <<@americaman9115 says : I just got new property in tucsin AZ. When it's dark it's DARK!! What kind of spot lights are those? I would love to gwt a pair as well>> <<@jvenema86 says : so wonderful beautiful video friend Matt i love it so much>> <<@4Freedomrider says : Guess who was missing from my feed? Good to see you are still kicking it!>> <<@darrylvieregge592 says : Multiple vests for multiple scenarios is a real thing. I have a vest for home and vests for not at home. Also you can make them with different levels according to your use.>> <<@relyimah says : Two is one... one is none... hehe>> <<@jamesbrownmiller808 says : Try using a ground Rod!>> <<@jonnytoast says : Get a strong arm for the box lid. The auto parts store will have them.>> <<@joshualeffler6739 says : Youre gonna have hot water without a water heater>> <<@BelViSSS says : you can alsos connect your big honda water pump to that 2inch pipe that you made for emptying the tank if and when you need more pressure>> <<@Baron_Muenchhausen_Original says : Hey Matt . Your rainwater system isnt so optimal. You should go in on the top of the tank, and out bottom. Or the water still staying in the pipe, is equal the hide of the waterlevel in the tank. Is there an overflow valve in the system? If not the water can flow over your rain collector tubes on the roof overflow? a 50bmg should solve the problem ;)>> <<@ciaranstevenson5132 says : Hey Matt!! My son and I love Off The Ranch. Just thinking - should you have an overflow at the top of your tank? Not sure how much rain you get / how often you use your hose, but if you don’t use it often the down pipe will may full of water & overflow / freeze. Keep up the great content!! 😊>> <<@Therealstubetube says : Can you fill the water tank if the water inlet is at the bottom?>> <<@wndzman says : 5 Amps on your USBs. Average slow ones are 2 amps.>> <<@davebieri73 says : New BBQ Pit on the range 🤣>> <<@unorthodoxwisdom2666 says : Imagine not caring about an 80 dollar loss.......Bruh.>> <<@tristonholderness6558 says : Do it right and get a grounding rod your going to hate putting it in the ground but it's a for sure good ground>> <<@drewsuddock2763 says : Is no one going to say anything about the downspout plumbing into the bottom of the tank?... The rainwater will have to overcome the pressure/ volume of the tank.>> <<@justincase8879 says : “Bump in the Night” vests, belts or body armor setups>> <<@Stefan_Smith says : That light switch didn't glow cuz it's looking for ac current>> <<@jasonswift7098 says : Don't try and do this stuff yourself get a licenced electrician in.>> <<@wilhelmlarsson5779 says : If you will have to hike for 20 hr I think you can allow yourself some more preptime. If you need to hunt down an intruder I think 20 hrs would get him of your property. Maybe idk I'm not american you maybe do things differently idonno>> <<@chrisdionne11 says : Not sure if it’s been said, but I’d paint that electrical box white to help keep if from heating up too much>> <<@michaelhanisch2840 says : Go buy a copper grounding rod. Pound it into the ground and attach the ground to it>> <<@TonyTN615 says : Matt,my friend. Only the budget limits how many scenarios you can prep for 😭>> <<@garryuyahoo says : Unless that battery is sealed, it will off gas hydrogen during heavy charging and discharge cycles. In a sealed box with no ventilation, you've just made a bomb.>> <<@parkerd7954 says : Good to hear some drum and bass on the channel!>> <<@OZ401 says : The big box also doubles as a bench🤷🏽‍♂️ under the roof>> <<@jimseals8659 says : Some charge controllers have to be connected to the battery before connecting the solar panels. That load position on the charge controller is not for heavy loads. Be careful your lights don't exceed it's capacity. Better to put your 12 volt loads directly on the battery.>> <<@ConcernedParent420 says : There is only one scenario that matters… how do we all fit on the ranch when the world ends???>> <<@anthonyfreeman5858 says : Wow Matt! Way to go!!>> <<@-zerocool- says : Two more of those outward facing lights to point out the sides on the rear pillars>> <<@YouTubeDoxedMyRealName says : Since you have the means yes different setups for different scenarios is the way to go. It will save a LOT of time and hassle and ensure you never forget or miss anything because ur constantly re-configuring your gear. You dont want to be with out something when you need it to be their.>> <<@Cranki_T says : Hey Matt, not sure if anyone has pointed this out, but the pipe leading into the tank from gutter (Intake) should be going into the top not the bottom. By keeping it the way you have done it, Gravity will work against you, as the tank fill up gravity will push the water back down and up the intake pipe with a capillary effect & will eventually stop any water from going into the tank at all. . By having the intake at the top this will negate this issue.>> <<@greenwidow says : If only I could be as handy as you are! Need this on a smaller scale for my rain barrell to water my plants without adding cost to my utility bill.>> <<@laurentbeaulieu2446 says : Some usb is 10v too>> <<@Cheesycook says : Use the big box and then you have room for more batteries later.>> <<@Polarcutter says : 🤙🏽>> <<@alexforkner4076 says : God help whomever makes Matt come out in a plate carrier and whatever else he decides to bring with it.>>
