00:00:06.830 --> 00:00:09.550
Welcome to Botches Off -Road. Join us as we talk

00:00:09.550 --> 00:00:11.810
about everything from gear reviews to trail stories,

00:00:12.050 --> 00:00:14.910
tank camping to rock lending, and all things

00:00:14.910 --> 00:00:19.129
to do with the outdoors. You know, this is a

00:00:19.129 --> 00:00:20.710
wrap, right? We're going to talk about what we

00:00:20.710 --> 00:00:23.289
did, what we had planned. But I just got to bitch

00:00:23.289 --> 00:00:27.289
for a second. Okay. So, I have baby birds coming

00:00:27.289 --> 00:00:29.070
tomorrow. They're supposed to be here at 8 a

00:00:29.070 --> 00:00:35.189
.m. I get a call at, let's say, 6. And they told

00:00:35.189 --> 00:00:39.469
me that they're now coming at 3 a .m. Now, that's

00:00:39.469 --> 00:00:43.469
already annoying, right? Hmm. But as you guys

00:00:43.469 --> 00:00:46.229
know, it is Tuesday night, and we're about to

00:00:46.229 --> 00:00:50.649
get a massive snowstorm. Tonight. Yeah, they're

00:00:50.649 --> 00:00:52.250
probably trying to beat the snowstorm is what

00:00:52.250 --> 00:00:55.570
they're doing. We're getting somewhere between

00:00:55.570 --> 00:01:01.109
4 and 5 inches before 3 a .m. I have now talked

00:01:01.109 --> 00:01:04.280
to the driver, who had no idea. That we were

00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:11.900
getting a storm tonight. Oh. Yeah. So, that's

00:01:11.900 --> 00:01:17.219
my day. Yeah. You know what I found out today?

00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:22.739
What's that? Secretary of State now does same

00:01:22.739 --> 00:01:27.060
-day title transfer printouts at house. I did

00:01:27.060 --> 00:01:29.560
not know that. They have done that? Oh, like

00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:34.819
at your house? No, like in store. They have done

00:01:34.819 --> 00:01:38.939
that since 2020 in most locations. What? Fremont,

00:01:38.980 --> 00:01:41.579
I think Fremont just started doing it like within

00:01:41.579 --> 00:01:43.959
the last two or three years. I think they just

00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:48.980
started recently when the car went through their

00:01:48.980 --> 00:01:53.780
fucking lobby, right? Most of them have been

00:01:53.780 --> 00:01:56.540
doing it since 2020. I only know that because

00:01:56.540 --> 00:02:01.980
I flipped like 30 cars in 2020. Because I've

00:02:01.980 --> 00:02:05.500
had... title transfers and stuff before, and

00:02:05.500 --> 00:02:07.500
they've always been mailed. This is the first

00:02:07.500 --> 00:02:09.580
time I ever had the option to just get it instantly.

00:02:10.460 --> 00:02:14.080
It's not always available. It's usually available.

00:02:14.539 --> 00:02:18.819
Lame. If they run out of titles, they don't have

00:02:18.819 --> 00:02:21.520
it, stuff like that. But usually it's available

00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:25.080
now. It's like 2020. Where'd you go? Fremont.

00:02:27.099 --> 00:02:29.000
Theirs is a little more recent within the last

00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:33.360
two to three years. In 2020, I was going down

00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:36.560
to Grand Rapids solely so that I could get same

00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.520
-day titles. Yeah, so for anybody who doesn't

00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:43.840
know, I have a 94 Chevy. It was an extended cab,

00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:47.860
long box, heavy half -ton that I've had since

00:02:47.860 --> 00:02:53.560
like 2022, something like that. And I originally

00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:56.840
was going to do a project with Sienna. We were

00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:00.060
going to make it into a daily, threw some 35s

00:03:00.060 --> 00:03:03.550
on it. cut some fenders, you know, fixed a bunch

00:03:03.550 --> 00:03:06.389
of stuff, fixed the wiring, cleaned up the interior,

00:03:06.610 --> 00:03:10.710
and then could not figure out the issue with

00:03:10.710 --> 00:03:13.370
it chugging. And I don't know what the fuck was

00:03:13.370 --> 00:03:18.270
going on. I tried a lot. What was in my power

00:03:18.270 --> 00:03:22.319
at the time, my mechanical power to do. Fuel

00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:27.060
lines. Coils? Yep, I checked those. Everything

00:03:27.060 --> 00:03:30.340
was good there. I was getting proper cone. I

00:03:30.340 --> 00:03:34.319
even replaced the TBI. And nothing seemed to

00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:38.620
stop it. Other people pointed to timing. So I

00:03:38.620 --> 00:03:40.180
was going to mess with the timing. And then,

00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:42.280
you know, Sienna and I got married shortly after

00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:46.639
that. And then we got my truck. And honestly,

00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.680
my truck just came first. So the project truck,

00:03:50.740 --> 00:03:52.780
she already had another car, so it was like we

00:03:52.780 --> 00:03:54.319
didn't need it, and we couldn't figure out the

00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:56.379
problem to drive it anyway, so we just kind of

00:03:56.379 --> 00:04:00.000
left it. Long story short, because, yes, that

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:04.800
was a short story, I've been trying to sell it,

00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:08.439
and I had it on Marketplace. I had a guy come

00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:10.759
look at it, and he's like, yeah, you know, I

00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:13.319
want to come in. I think it was, what was it,

00:04:13.340 --> 00:04:15.939
Sunday or something? I want to come Sunday, come

00:04:15.939 --> 00:04:19.250
look at it. and I was like, okay, like, I got

00:04:19.250 --> 00:04:22.069
to get a battery and some gas, and so we spent

00:04:22.069 --> 00:04:26.029
the morning getting battery gas and got it started.

00:04:26.329 --> 00:04:28.670
I was like, oh, shit, cool. It started, you know,

00:04:28.670 --> 00:04:31.470
right up after it pushed some fuel into the lines,

00:04:31.550 --> 00:04:34.750
and then, you know, I'd only good just like before,

00:04:34.930 --> 00:04:37.490
and I went to go hit the throttle, and no chugging,

00:04:37.509 --> 00:04:41.889
no issues. I'm like, oh, what the fuck? So I

00:04:41.889 --> 00:04:45.829
put it in drive, slammed down the gas, no issues.

00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:49.360
Like, the tires spun because they have pretty

00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:52.519
much no tread on them, but it had no, everything

00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:58.079
that I had issues with it before stopped. So

00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:01.860
I put probably 15, at least 15 gallons of gas

00:05:01.860 --> 00:05:06.980
through it already, and I just, I was just, like,

00:05:06.980 --> 00:05:10.480
stunned. So, you know, I put it in reverse, rocked

00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:13.319
it out of that spot, drove it around the yard,

00:05:13.540 --> 00:05:16.560
fucking good to go. And I'm like, what the fuck?

00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:19.019
So I stopped for a second, Sienna and I were

00:05:19.019 --> 00:05:21.459
just baffled. And I'm like, well, I'm going to

00:05:21.459 --> 00:05:23.959
try and put it into four -wheel drive then. They

00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:25.879
said the actuator was broke when I bought it,

00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:28.259
so I haven't even tried. Put it into four -wheel

00:05:28.259 --> 00:05:31.300
drive, four -wheel drive worked. So now I'm sitting

00:05:31.300 --> 00:05:34.259
here like, what the fuck? This truck is perfectly

00:05:34.259 --> 00:05:40.620
fine now. Now it needs minor work. And obviously,

00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:43.680
like... The issue still needs to be addressed.

00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:48.560
There's something that's going on. It just didn't

00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:52.339
want you to own it. Right. So I took it. I had

00:05:52.339 --> 00:05:54.639
some fun with it. Did some donuts in the yard

00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:57.720
and stuff. And drove it up and down the fucking

00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:00.620
road. And no issues at all. I went like 35, 40.

00:06:01.819 --> 00:06:07.720
And put it back into the yard. And right as I

00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:10.129
drove it back into the yard. Still had it running.

00:06:10.129 --> 00:06:12.910
The guy pulled in. I was like, damn, yeah, that

00:06:12.910 --> 00:06:14.829
sounds pretty good. And I'm like, yeah. And he

00:06:14.829 --> 00:06:16.550
kind of looks behind me and there's a bunch of

00:06:16.550 --> 00:06:20.750
donuts and shit all around. And he's like, my

00:06:20.750 --> 00:06:24.730
wife sees the project trucks that I usually buy.

00:06:24.829 --> 00:06:27.629
She was actually pretty excited to see that this

00:06:27.629 --> 00:06:30.290
one was actually running. And I was like, yeah.

00:06:30.470 --> 00:06:33.230
I was like, you know what? It's actually running.

00:06:33.329 --> 00:06:35.250
And I don't know what happened. I said, the issues

00:06:35.250 --> 00:06:39.560
are gone. So, again, I... I thought it was going

00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:41.899
to take longer to get the title transfer, so

00:06:41.899 --> 00:06:45.480
that's why I haven't really done it. And, no,

00:06:45.620 --> 00:06:48.199
I went in today, got it transferred, got it printed,

00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:52.139
so hopefully he'll be by sometime this week to

00:06:52.139 --> 00:06:56.019
pick it up, give me my money for it, and get

00:06:56.019 --> 00:06:59.540
that one more piece of junk out of there. Hell

00:06:59.540 --> 00:07:02.899
yeah. Oh, and, of course, and I told Alex this

00:07:02.899 --> 00:07:07.209
too, but Sienna's dad has a... sob sitting in

00:07:07.209 --> 00:07:10.329
there the guy came that same day too just coincidentally

00:07:10.329 --> 00:07:14.370
and looked at it offered dad scrap price for

00:07:14.370 --> 00:07:16.970
it and dad took it so we'll be getting two cars

00:07:16.970 --> 00:07:21.610
out of our yard that is the shit i like to hear

00:07:21.610 --> 00:07:25.170
yep so i money money would like to get i'd like

00:07:25.170 --> 00:07:27.089
to get a crawler body out of my yard that would

00:07:27.089 --> 00:07:31.250
be sick scrap yard yeah but i don't have a title

00:07:31.250 --> 00:07:34.470
for it that's don't you doesn't not matter if

00:07:34.470 --> 00:07:37.939
it's scrap No, if you scrap a car, you have to

00:07:37.939 --> 00:07:41.560
have a title for it. Oh. Yeah, you do. I didn't

00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:44.060
know that. I thought if it's... Otherwise...

00:07:44.060 --> 00:07:47.100
Go ahead, sorry. Otherwise, you have to cut it

00:07:47.100 --> 00:07:51.759
into quarters. Oh, shit. We can do that. Let's

00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:55.100
shoot it. If you're trying to... Let's say you're

00:07:55.100 --> 00:07:56.959
trying to scrap a single cab pickup, you got

00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:00.480
to cut it in half front to back and then in half

00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:02.420
back to front if you don't have a title for it.

00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:07.300
All right, let's get the automatics out. Yeah.

00:08:07.339 --> 00:08:12.420
We'll shoot it. Yeah. Listen, we don't have those.

00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:17.060
No, I meant like the automatic circular saws

00:08:17.060 --> 00:08:20.879
that continually cut. Yeah, duh. This man. Yeah.

00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:27.519
If I ever owned anything automatic, it was lost

00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:30.480
in a boating accident. Yep. The exact same place

00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:33.759
that I dump. batteries to help recharge the electric

00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:38.980
eels. Lake Michigan? Yeah. Well, I try not to

00:08:38.980 --> 00:08:42.580
do Lake Michigan. I try to get Lake Huron, Erie,

00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:47.139
those nastier lakes. Yeah. Yeah. You try to keep

00:08:47.139 --> 00:08:51.240
Lake Michigan and Superior clean. Let's aim for

00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:55.179
Ontario. No one likes that lake. Ontario? Is

00:08:55.179 --> 00:08:57.840
that the one that doesn't touch Michigan? No.

00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:01.080
Probably too dirty. Yeah. Who would want that?

00:09:01.450 --> 00:09:03.289
Bunch of maple leaves floating around in it.

00:09:04.110 --> 00:09:08.610
Fucking disgusting. Gross. I hear that the water,

00:09:08.669 --> 00:09:11.210
if you put it in a jug and then pour it out,

00:09:11.250 --> 00:09:14.070
it pours out sticky like syrup. Yep, that's how

00:09:14.070 --> 00:09:15.610
they make maple syrup. You didn't know that?

00:09:16.009 --> 00:09:18.690
They just take the brown water out of Ontario

00:09:18.690 --> 00:09:21.049
and boil it. And then boil the toxins out. Yep.

00:09:21.090 --> 00:09:23.370
Uh -huh. Yep, that's why Canadian maple syrup

00:09:23.370 --> 00:09:29.320
tastes so bad. God, we're going to get shot by

00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:31.340
our one Canadian listener. He's going to be like,

00:09:31.419 --> 00:09:34.240
these guys hate us. And the truth is, I love

00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:38.120
maple syrup, especially Canadian. I like Canadia.

00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:40.340
I think it's a cool place. I'd love to do some

00:09:40.340 --> 00:09:43.100
overland trips up there. I think right across

00:09:43.100 --> 00:09:45.620
the border into Ontario, there's a couple of

00:09:45.620 --> 00:09:45.659
really cool places. I think it's a cool place

00:09:45.659 --> 00:09:47.720
that is ran by an absolute fucking tyrant. An

00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:53.299
hour away. What did you say? Tyrant? I think

00:09:53.299 --> 00:09:57.139
it's a cool place. It's ran like Tyrancy. Tyrancy.

00:09:57.580 --> 00:10:00.100
You hear who's dating the prime minister now?

00:10:01.340 --> 00:10:03.919
Fucking Katy Perry. The ex -prime minister. Isn't

00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:05.799
he the ex -prime minister? I thought he was the

00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:07.940
current. I could be wrong. No, I get it back

00:10:07.940 --> 00:10:10.899
and forth. It's like I see some news outlets

00:10:10.899 --> 00:10:14.639
that still talk about True Ducky and then others

00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:17.279
that say that there's someone else. I can't get

00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:20.360
them straight, dude. He's the former prime minister.

00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.759
Okay. I can't see him. Yeah, I remember he stepped

00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:28.220
down. Yeah, well, rightfully. And I hope Alberta

00:10:28.220 --> 00:10:31.460
leaves. Dude, have you seen a picture of him

00:10:31.460 --> 00:10:34.659
and Katy Perry together? Yeah. They're the same

00:10:34.659 --> 00:10:37.779
fucking person. They're clones. Meant to be.

00:10:39.259 --> 00:10:42.700
No, like, oh, my God. You know, we're doing chapter.

00:10:42.980 --> 00:10:45.240
No, this is just going to be the album art. Oh,

00:10:45.259 --> 00:10:52.330
God. But if Alberta secedes from Canada. and

00:10:52.330 --> 00:10:55.870
does its own thing as its own country, then I

00:10:55.870 --> 00:11:00.330
think we should all move to Alberta. Dude, I'm

00:11:00.330 --> 00:11:02.929
down. Because I don't think Alberta will join

00:11:02.929 --> 00:11:06.570
the U .S. I think it'll secede if it does. Ugh.

00:11:09.029 --> 00:11:13.789
Ugh. They're literal clones of each other. I

00:11:13.789 --> 00:11:15.750
don't know. I think they just had the same facial

00:11:15.750 --> 00:11:20.850
surgeon. Same plastic surgeon. Dude. Dude, it's

00:11:20.850 --> 00:11:23.830
like almost the same mouth, almost the same eye

00:11:23.830 --> 00:11:27.750
shape, same nose. Like, that's creepy shit. Yeah.

00:11:28.690 --> 00:11:31.470
Well, you know Hollywood. They just kind of copy

00:11:31.470 --> 00:11:37.490
and paste. So, they probably took Trudeau and

00:11:37.490 --> 00:11:40.970
copy pasted him onto Carrie Patey. Carrie. Carrie?

00:11:41.169 --> 00:11:47.110
Am I stroking? Yes. Carrie. When I ask that to

00:11:47.110 --> 00:11:54.129
myself, I say that to see if I am. So, I guess

00:11:54.129 --> 00:11:57.450
it is a wrap. Gavin, what did you do last weekend?

00:11:57.850 --> 00:12:00.070
Well, you heard part of it, which is why I explained.

00:12:01.129 --> 00:12:04.169
Got the truck ready. A guy came by. He was happy.

00:12:04.389 --> 00:12:08.070
We're working on that now. I've been talking

00:12:08.070 --> 00:12:12.879
to companies again, trying to... Just trying

00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:16.639
to work with some companies. I do have my coffee

00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:20.600
company. They're sending me some coffee, so I

00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:25.440
should have that in tomorrow -ish. And I'm going

00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:28.659
to split some, give some to me and CNN Dad. We're

00:12:28.659 --> 00:12:31.019
going to try it out, see what we think. Dad's

00:12:31.019 --> 00:12:33.639
an avid coffee drinker, so he'll have a good

00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:36.299
opinion. And then I'm going to bring some over

00:12:36.299 --> 00:12:40.549
for us to try on, like, a Friday. And we're going

00:12:40.549 --> 00:12:46.210
to try it as not intended because I'm just going

00:12:46.210 --> 00:12:48.269
to assume that, yes, if you soak it overnight.

00:12:48.370 --> 00:12:50.629
So I don't know if I updated you on this, Mark,

00:12:50.649 --> 00:12:56.269
but it's called Bear Box Brews Coffee. And they

00:12:56.269 --> 00:12:58.929
just started releasing it. And basically what

00:12:58.929 --> 00:13:04.110
it is is a giant teabag with sustainably sourced

00:13:04.110 --> 00:13:08.320
coffee. And you just put it into your, you know,

00:13:08.379 --> 00:13:12.039
like, container with water in it. And you set

00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:15.179
it out the day before, like, at night. And then

00:13:15.179 --> 00:13:17.240
in the morning you have coffee. So if you like

00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:19.899
doing iced coffee, that's perfect. If you like

00:13:19.899 --> 00:13:22.639
just having coffee in general. And then they

00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:24.580
say to, like, they recommend to, like, heat it

00:13:24.580 --> 00:13:28.500
up. Heat it up gently so you don't, like, burn

00:13:28.500 --> 00:13:31.519
the brew or whatever. But I want to try, you

00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:34.539
know, overlanding style. We got a jet boil. We

00:13:34.539 --> 00:13:37.259
have water. I want to boil some water. I want

00:13:37.259 --> 00:13:38.919
to throw the teabag in there for 10 minutes,

00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:44.740
and I want to try and see how that works. And

00:13:44.740 --> 00:13:48.919
then I want to try it just cold and stuff too.

00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:50.860
I just want to see what we all think about it

00:13:50.860 --> 00:13:54.419
because that would take – I mean, I like making

00:13:54.419 --> 00:13:58.419
coffee, but I don't love it. I also don't drink

00:13:58.419 --> 00:14:01.419
a lot of it either. You know, if that takes a

00:14:01.419 --> 00:14:03.240
step out of it and I could just get a, you know,

00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:05.460
a box of those and the coffee's really good,

00:14:05.659 --> 00:14:09.039
that might be a step. Just to like, you know,

00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:11.960
take some things out of the, because I really

00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:15.139
only make coffee for Sienna and for other people.

00:14:15.980 --> 00:14:20.519
I enjoy it, but when we're, I don't know, when

00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:22.399
I have a kid and all the other shit going on

00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:23.799
and I still have to make breakfast, it's just

00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:28.929
one extra step, so whatever. Coffee is a necessity

00:14:28.929 --> 00:14:31.230
part of life. Yeah. I mean, now that I'm getting

00:14:31.230 --> 00:14:33.090
away from energy drinks, I might be consuming

00:14:33.090 --> 00:14:37.210
more of it, so we'll see. Oh, and Sienna got

00:14:37.210 --> 00:14:39.789
me an early Christmas present, so that was cool.

00:14:39.929 --> 00:14:42.769
Got me a new multi -tool to replace my kind of

00:14:42.769 --> 00:14:46.029
broken one, and it's beautiful. I'm obsessed

00:14:46.029 --> 00:14:50.149
with it, and I think, like, it's, I don't know,

00:14:50.190 --> 00:14:53.690
like, user bias, but I love it, man. It's gorgeous.

00:14:53.970 --> 00:14:57.220
It's the Leatherman. Wave Alpha, I think it is.

00:14:57.379 --> 00:15:00.620
It just came out with it. It's really comfortable.

00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:04.460
It's way heavier than the other one. Like, it

00:15:04.460 --> 00:15:07.139
just feels, like, heavier. I'll have to bring

00:15:07.139 --> 00:15:10.860
it by, but... That one's got, like, a plastic

00:15:10.860 --> 00:15:16.220
outside, right? I don't... I think it's... Is

00:15:16.220 --> 00:15:19.700
it G10? What do they call that? I don't know

00:15:19.700 --> 00:15:24.039
what they call the outside handle. Like, it feels...

00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:30.200
Like, it's plastic, I think. I don't know. I

00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:32.419
don't have a magnet. Do I have a magnet? Yeah,

00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:40.460
I do. Yeah, I think I'm only getting magnet from

00:15:40.460 --> 00:15:45.340
the edge. I'm pretty sure it's plastic. It looks

00:15:45.340 --> 00:15:48.559
sick, dude. Yeah. And the customizations that

00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:53.299
she did are, like, they're peak. I don't know

00:15:53.299 --> 00:15:55.299
if you get it. I think. Huckleberry's Outdoor

00:15:55.299 --> 00:15:57.220
Adventures she got on the one side of the blade.

00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:01.899
So that was pretty cool. And then she got like

00:16:01.899 --> 00:16:04.759
topographic on the other. I don't know. It's

00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:07.179
really cool. I really wanted a multi -tool scissors

00:16:07.179 --> 00:16:10.759
because I use scissors more often just for everyday

00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:15.000
things and even like camping. So like camping

00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:17.440
you use like scissors for paracord and stuff.

00:16:17.820 --> 00:16:20.919
And these come with like a larger pair of scissors

00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:24.370
than normal. like in normal multi -tools, like

00:16:24.370 --> 00:16:29.649
a large handle. So that's really nice. I really

00:16:29.649 --> 00:16:34.370
use multi -tools as a really large percentage

00:16:34.370 --> 00:16:37.710
of my camp tool, whether it's cutting steak on

00:16:37.710 --> 00:16:43.590
my plate and not cleaning it or whittling, whatever.

00:16:44.690 --> 00:16:48.230
I am not necessarily a Leatherman fan. I think

00:16:48.230 --> 00:16:50.710
that they make a pretty decent tool. It's just

00:16:50.710 --> 00:16:55.210
not my favorite one. Yeah. But the Leatherman

00:16:55.210 --> 00:16:58.070
Signal, oh, my God, dude, that thing is fucking

00:16:58.070 --> 00:17:02.450
gorgeous. Yeah. So, yeah, I got that this weekend.

00:17:02.590 --> 00:17:06.869
I was really excited. I still, you know, I like

00:17:06.869 --> 00:17:09.400
my old one. And there's technically nothing wrong

00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:11.559
with it. Like there's a spring broke on it, so

00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:14.920
it opens funny. And the knife tip is snapped

00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:20.859
off. But it's going to go into my spares, my

00:17:20.859 --> 00:17:24.359
spare equipment in the truck. And because whoever

00:17:24.359 --> 00:17:29.099
knows when you need some pliers. Which is nice

00:17:29.099 --> 00:17:31.720
because on this one they have the removable teeth

00:17:31.720 --> 00:17:35.019
or cutters on the pliers. So you could take those

00:17:35.019 --> 00:17:38.710
out. It's got a bit driver. which has a double

00:17:38.710 --> 00:17:42.890
-sided bit. I didn't know that. Has a quick release

00:17:42.890 --> 00:17:45.869
for the clip, like the pocket clip. Quick releases

00:17:45.869 --> 00:17:48.450
on and off. I didn't know that. I didn't look

00:17:48.450 --> 00:17:52.210
into it much. It had scissors, and it looked

00:17:52.210 --> 00:17:56.470
really cool. And that's kind of what I went with.

00:17:56.809 --> 00:17:59.750
And it turned out to be much better. So, yeah,

00:17:59.809 --> 00:18:02.970
overall, really happy. Now I have to find her

00:18:02.970 --> 00:18:04.809
something, so I'm probably just going to buy

00:18:04.809 --> 00:18:10.640
her a Kindle. Call it a day. Get her a Kobo instead

00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:15.940
of a Kindle. Is that like a knife? No. It's a

00:18:15.940 --> 00:18:20.319
variation of the Kindle. It's more open. So if

00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:23.920
you get PDFs or EPUBs from somewhere else, you

00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:26.799
can load them up without all the hackery that

00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:30.160
you need to with a Kindle. And you can get a

00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:33.420
colored one for less than what? uh kindle costs

00:18:33.420 --> 00:18:35.480
yeah i'll kind of talk to her and feel it out

00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:37.119
a little bit more i'm a little bit more logical

00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:40.960
like and she loves books like she has a big ass

00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:44.039
tablet she could read audible or on the kindle

00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:47.019
app or whatever and she doesn't like use it she

00:18:47.019 --> 00:18:50.200
barely uses it on her phone so it's like to me

00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:52.579
like a kindle's pointless but if that's what

00:18:52.579 --> 00:18:58.400
she wants dude i i also have a tablet And I still

00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:01.200
use my Kobo for reading instead of the tablet.

00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:04.400
Yeah, just to me, I don't get it. But, you know,

00:19:04.420 --> 00:19:08.180
I'm an audiobook guy, so. I do both. The Kobo

00:19:08.180 --> 00:19:11.140
also is a 3 .5 millimeter jack for playing audiobooks.

00:19:11.140 --> 00:19:14.220
Yeah. So, I mean, it would be cool, and I'm sure

00:19:14.220 --> 00:19:16.619
she would love it. So, it's kind of one of those

00:19:16.619 --> 00:19:19.380
things that, like, I didn't need this multi -tool,

00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:21.819
and she's been telling me she was going to get

00:19:21.819 --> 00:19:25.669
one for, like, a year and a half now. So. She

00:19:25.669 --> 00:19:27.509
finally did, and I'm just like, you know what?

00:19:27.569 --> 00:19:29.309
Whatever you want that's about the same price,

00:19:29.369 --> 00:19:32.769
just get it. Or I'll just get it, whatever. I

00:19:32.769 --> 00:19:34.849
don't really care if it's... Because like I said,

00:19:34.930 --> 00:19:39.009
I didn't need it. I just wanted it. We don't

00:19:39.009 --> 00:19:42.049
pick the... Anymore. We don't pick up a lot of

00:19:42.049 --> 00:19:44.990
we wants anymore. Right. You know what I mean?

00:19:45.150 --> 00:19:49.450
I've been... researching completely off topic

00:19:49.450 --> 00:19:51.269
i'm just thinking about it because multi -tools

00:19:51.269 --> 00:19:55.009
yeah um i've been researching using black oxide

00:19:55.009 --> 00:19:58.970
to color my uh my multi -tool yeah because you

00:19:58.970 --> 00:20:01.970
have the rocks on right yep yeah that's pretty

00:20:01.970 --> 00:20:05.089
cool too um oh yeah in our rap since we were

00:20:05.089 --> 00:20:07.710
talking about that uh i met up with alex for

00:20:07.710 --> 00:20:09.769
a little bit so he could help me diagnose my

00:20:09.769 --> 00:20:11.849
truck it's been making weird clanking sounds

00:20:11.849 --> 00:20:14.690
and so i drove over and we hung out for a little

00:20:14.690 --> 00:20:17.779
bit we determined that we're pretty darn sure

00:20:17.779 --> 00:20:21.359
it's brakes and then we compared multi -tools

00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:23.859
and talked about that of course for another what

00:20:23.859 --> 00:20:27.019
30 minutes um because this multi -tool is pretty

00:20:27.019 --> 00:20:29.720
cool too the roxon um and they're affordable

00:20:29.720 --> 00:20:32.259
like that's that's also a really cool price point

00:20:32.259 --> 00:20:36.099
and you know what you can't really compare the

00:20:36.099 --> 00:20:38.200
roxon to like your wave alpha because they're

00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:40.400
a completely different thing yeah the roxon's

00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:44.599
the roxon's more comparable to like uh the you

00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:49.549
know the the gerber bridge or whatever Leatherman's

00:20:49.549 --> 00:20:51.450
other one is. I can't think of the name of it

00:20:51.450 --> 00:20:53.609
right now. Yeah, to be able to exchange whatever

00:20:53.609 --> 00:20:56.230
tools in and out that you want instead of having

00:20:56.230 --> 00:21:01.309
to buy a different tool is really cool. So, yeah,

00:21:01.430 --> 00:21:04.730
we talked about that, and then I've been debating

00:21:04.730 --> 00:21:06.910
diesel heaters for a while, looking them up,

00:21:06.990 --> 00:21:09.750
and he just got his new diesel heater in, so

00:21:09.750 --> 00:21:13.710
we hooked that up and listened to that and felt

00:21:13.710 --> 00:21:16.200
the heat and stuff like that. That's pretty cool.

00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:23.859
And it's pretty efficient, I would say. Like,

00:21:23.859 --> 00:21:26.960
to take out of the box, like, pretty much comes

00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:28.940
right out of the box ready. You just have to

00:21:28.940 --> 00:21:31.900
put a couple things on and fill it up. Really

00:21:31.900 --> 00:21:35.339
just the exhaust? They say just the exhaust.

00:21:35.720 --> 00:21:37.819
Right. I wasn't running it without an air filter,

00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:42.160
so I added that. Yeah. So, you know, it was funny.

00:21:42.200 --> 00:21:44.380
I was just doing that, and then once they got

00:21:44.380 --> 00:21:48.109
home, I started looking at more diesel heaters

00:21:48.109 --> 00:21:51.190
because I'm going to get one here pretty soon.

00:21:51.269 --> 00:21:53.529
Like if I sell the truck, I will buy one for

00:21:53.529 --> 00:21:58.569
us so that we are ready because I also want to

00:21:58.569 --> 00:22:03.569
use it in the house if power goes out. And so

00:22:03.569 --> 00:22:08.630
there's a company called LF Bros, and they have

00:22:08.630 --> 00:22:11.950
a diesel heater that's like almost identical.

00:22:12.859 --> 00:22:18.539
to yours if not identical and is yeah literally

00:22:18.539 --> 00:22:22.940
handles and all i'm literally reading about it

00:22:22.940 --> 00:22:25.220
right now and it's the exact same heater yeah

00:22:25.220 --> 00:22:28.940
so i think the only difference from the one that

00:22:28.940 --> 00:22:31.339
i seen versus yours is they have like disconnect

00:22:31.339 --> 00:22:37.380
um like remotes and disconnect uh like screen

00:22:37.380 --> 00:22:40.549
like you could pull it off or whatever Mine too.

00:22:40.690 --> 00:22:42.670
Oh, okay. I didn't know that because I don't

00:22:42.670 --> 00:22:44.410
think we pulled yours out other than the one.

00:22:44.410 --> 00:22:48.730
No. Mine has a remote and it has a screen that's

00:22:48.730 --> 00:22:51.150
removable. Yeah, so I was looking at that and

00:22:51.150 --> 00:22:53.930
then they have like a pro version and this and

00:22:53.930 --> 00:22:59.150
that. But this is the example of why you should

00:22:59.150 --> 00:23:02.789
be like looking up your products because I noticed

00:23:02.789 --> 00:23:05.970
this right away by looking at there's two carrying

00:23:05.970 --> 00:23:09.660
handles on the top that are like chrome. and

00:23:09.660 --> 00:23:11.940
it's a box and i was like dude this is identical

00:23:11.940 --> 00:23:14.440
to alex and as i was looking at it comparing

00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:17.119
them side by side i'm like oh yeah it pretty

00:23:17.119 --> 00:23:23.140
much is um and they added like 150 dollars onto

00:23:23.140 --> 00:23:26.859
it for their brand yeah it's literally it's the

00:23:26.859 --> 00:23:30.720
exact same thing so What's the technical term

00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:32.980
with all pretty much the same thing, just copy

00:23:32.980 --> 00:23:36.279
and paste? White label. White label. Thank you.

00:23:36.619 --> 00:23:39.259
Yep. So I was kind of taking a look at this.

00:23:39.299 --> 00:23:41.700
It was funny because as I was looking, people

00:23:41.700 --> 00:23:45.380
mentioned 4x4 Colorado's diesel heater, which

00:23:45.380 --> 00:23:48.740
was the – and even someone – it's actually one

00:23:48.740 --> 00:23:52.359
of the big overlanders that reviewed this 4x4

00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:54.640
Colorado one. Again, everybody knows they're

00:23:54.640 --> 00:23:59.990
bankrupt now probably for this reason. This heater

00:23:59.990 --> 00:24:05.569
that they have is the exact same as another brand

00:24:05.569 --> 00:24:09.950
heater, too. So, I mean, a lot of these are white

00:24:09.950 --> 00:24:13.950
-label heaters, so try not to fall for that Overland

00:24:13.950 --> 00:24:19.309
tax. Do some looking, and you'll find it. I don't

00:24:19.309 --> 00:24:23.490
think it's... Now, all that being said, if you've

00:24:23.490 --> 00:24:26.460
got one that's based out of the U .S., support

00:24:26.460 --> 00:24:28.480
them because you've also got the possibility

00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:32.140
that they have one that's not the same might

00:24:32.140 --> 00:24:35.220
have better internals because a lot of times

00:24:35.220 --> 00:24:37.720
these chinese companies right so uh american

00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:40.960
company teams up with them makes a product chinese

00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:43.339
company rips it off at a cheaper price point

00:24:43.339 --> 00:24:46.799
but they it's not the same material it's not

00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:49.460
the same product it's just looks similar yeah

00:24:49.460 --> 00:24:52.799
so it's always good to do your uh your research

00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:55.799
on it in like And if that means like emailing

00:24:55.799 --> 00:24:58.140
the manufacturer and going, hey, who actually

00:24:58.140 --> 00:25:00.400
makes your product, then do that because we've

00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:02.539
done it. We've done it for a couple of different

00:25:02.539 --> 00:25:05.680
products. And again, like Alex said, but then

00:25:05.680 --> 00:25:09.160
the other option is that people get on like Alibaba

00:25:09.160 --> 00:25:12.720
and they say, hey, this is what I want. This

00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:15.099
is the branding I want on it. I want you to use

00:25:15.099 --> 00:25:19.640
higher quality parts. And then they just do that.

00:25:19.740 --> 00:25:24.299
And it is the same thing as. Your cheaper $100

00:25:24.299 --> 00:25:27.799
options, you're just getting it for $150 more.

00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:30.839
So it is important to do your research on that,

00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:33.599
make sure you know what's going on. So, yeah,

00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:35.240
I just want to talk about that real quick because

00:25:35.240 --> 00:25:38.359
as I was looking at the LF Bros one, I'm like,

00:25:38.440 --> 00:25:41.440
this is the same fucking thing. Like, what is

00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:46.019
going on? So I do hear that H -Calorie, their

00:25:46.019 --> 00:25:52.240
U .S. division has went around asking. uh overlanders

00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:56.079
in the space to send them the list of changes

00:25:56.079 --> 00:25:58.880
that they would make or that they would recommend

00:25:58.880 --> 00:26:03.240
to make a more overland uh friendly diesel heater

00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:07.359
and they have been making changes um based on

00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:13.180
that to their not their low line ones but the

00:26:13.180 --> 00:26:16.400
um but from what i hear like they're mid like

00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:20.859
150 ish and up so like they have one That's kind

00:26:20.859 --> 00:26:25.119
of similar to the LF Bros one, and that's for

00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:29.599
like $299. It's an 8 -kilowatt. It's got a 7

00:26:29.599 --> 00:26:36.299
.5 -liter tank in it. So, I mean, it's got altitude

00:26:36.299 --> 00:26:41.140
mode, which a lot of diesel heaters have already.

00:26:42.579 --> 00:26:46.380
But it's just one of those things where... Yeah,

00:26:46.400 --> 00:26:48.400
do some research. I've already spent probably

00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:51.900
eight hours on YouTube watching different videos

00:26:51.900 --> 00:26:55.599
and how. I wonder what the difference between

00:26:55.599 --> 00:26:58.819
my $100 one and their $160 one is because mine's

00:26:58.819 --> 00:27:03.359
an 8 kilowatt. Yeah. With smart altitude. Yeah.

00:27:03.420 --> 00:27:09.099
And that's the thing is like H calorie and what

00:27:09.099 --> 00:27:13.039
was yours again? Mine's an H calorie. Oh, yeah.

00:27:13.099 --> 00:27:16.380
Okay. But then there's like bougie RV, which

00:27:16.380 --> 00:27:19.400
looks kind of the same, but it's got pretty much

00:27:19.400 --> 00:27:21.880
just a different shell. Like you got to think

00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:24.039
that probably a lot of them are the same internals.

00:27:24.559 --> 00:27:28.339
H -Calorie does have a $220 -ish one that's got,

00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:31.039
it's like a briefcase style, so it's a little

00:27:31.039 --> 00:27:34.759
more waterproof. Personally, I'm not too worried

00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:36.940
about waterproofness because the diesel heater,

00:27:37.140 --> 00:27:40.140
when it's running, it's going to dry itself out

00:27:40.140 --> 00:27:44.740
anyway. The only thing it won't is you need to

00:27:44.740 --> 00:27:46.940
make sure that the exhaust is either straight

00:27:46.940 --> 00:27:48.980
out or pointed down. Otherwise, it builds up

00:27:48.980 --> 00:27:54.200
moisture and then floods it. I mean, my old one,

00:27:54.299 --> 00:27:56.019
I have the exhaust pointed straight in the air,

00:27:56.059 --> 00:27:57.920
and I've never had a problem, but they say it

00:27:57.920 --> 00:28:01.400
can happen. Yeah, that suitcase one is the one

00:28:01.400 --> 00:28:04.900
that I think I might go with. It's going to be

00:28:04.900 --> 00:28:11.170
between that one and the $299 one, which... I'm

00:28:11.170 --> 00:28:15.109
not really sure about. But it's supposed to be,

00:28:15.109 --> 00:28:21.170
like, IP6 waterproof or whatever, and the ports

00:28:21.170 --> 00:28:23.509
are moved a little bit on it so that they don't,

00:28:23.509 --> 00:28:25.150
like, interfere with each other, the exhaust

00:28:25.150 --> 00:28:28.970
and stuff. So I'm curious about it. I don't know

00:28:28.970 --> 00:28:32.910
if I'm so curious that I'm willing to spend another

00:28:32.910 --> 00:28:38.210
$80 or so on it. Is that the $299 one? Yeah,

00:28:38.230 --> 00:28:41.890
it's the... All -in -one toolbox, max, diesel,

00:28:42.150 --> 00:28:45.549
parking heater with app control. It's pretty

00:28:45.549 --> 00:28:49.490
similar to yours. It's the same as mine. The

00:28:49.490 --> 00:28:52.609
heater element itself, like the box that does

00:28:52.609 --> 00:28:55.970
it, it's literally mine. Well, and that's the

00:28:55.970 --> 00:29:02.210
thing is, like, how do we know? Like, I need

00:29:02.210 --> 00:29:05.769
to get a hold of these guys and get, like, a

00:29:05.769 --> 00:29:09.930
parts list. So I can cross -reference what is

00:29:09.930 --> 00:29:12.809
actually the same, what's different. That's the

00:29:12.809 --> 00:29:15.970
issue. I can sit here and cross -reference this

00:29:15.970 --> 00:29:19.170
one right now. The shell is different. Yeah,

00:29:19.190 --> 00:29:22.569
of course. The heater itself, literally the same

00:29:22.569 --> 00:29:26.750
model. You can tell by the output. It has a different

00:29:26.750 --> 00:29:32.349
controller, but a similar controller. The exhaust,

00:29:32.609 --> 00:29:34.769
exactly the same as mine. Yeah, the exhaust.

00:29:34.769 --> 00:29:38.299
The intake. intake exactly the same as mine well

00:29:38.299 --> 00:29:42.519
obviously it's the same same main unit i'm curious

00:29:42.519 --> 00:29:47.279
to the sound deadening and if the what i mean

00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:49.079
like what the difference is between them because

00:29:49.079 --> 00:29:53.420
all again all these diesel heaters use the exact

00:29:53.420 --> 00:29:56.779
same heater box there's only a couple of factories

00:29:56.779 --> 00:29:59.079
that make them they use the exact same parts

00:29:59.079 --> 00:30:01.880
so when you buy a diesel heater don't spend more

00:30:01.880 --> 00:30:04.529
than like a hundred dollars on it unless you

00:30:04.529 --> 00:30:06.490
need some fancy packaging but you don't even

00:30:06.490 --> 00:30:09.250
need that just get the cheapest option because

00:30:09.250 --> 00:30:12.450
they're all the same product yeah mostly the

00:30:12.450 --> 00:30:14.490
only difference is the outer casing other than

00:30:14.490 --> 00:30:16.670
that the internals are literally the same yeah

00:30:16.670 --> 00:30:20.730
i think i'm a little more skeptic on like i understand

00:30:20.730 --> 00:30:25.430
that they are the full the the same core but

00:30:25.430 --> 00:30:28.029
obviously there's got to be something else internally

00:30:28.029 --> 00:30:31.609
different to make let's say one way quieter than

00:30:31.609 --> 00:30:35.309
the other Because that would be out pretty quick.

00:30:35.509 --> 00:30:38.390
It's not as exhaust if you don't have the exhaust.

00:30:39.329 --> 00:30:42.049
Yeah, all diesel heaters have the same volume.

00:30:42.730 --> 00:30:45.329
They all operate the same way. They're all the

00:30:45.329 --> 00:30:47.829
same mechanics. They all sound the same. The

00:30:47.829 --> 00:30:50.170
only sound on a diesel heater is the exhaust.

00:30:51.109 --> 00:30:53.869
No, I mean, there are people putting side -by

00:30:53.869 --> 00:30:57.349
-sides with, what do they call those? The things

00:30:57.349 --> 00:31:01.220
that measure sound decibels. Dude. Some make

00:31:01.220 --> 00:31:04.519
different, or some are louder than others. It's

00:31:04.519 --> 00:31:07.079
all in the muffler. They're all the same product.

00:31:07.980 --> 00:31:10.599
We're just going to have to agree to disagree

00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:14.079
on this. I agree that the internals are very

00:31:14.079 --> 00:31:16.359
similar. I've built, they're all the same. I've

00:31:16.359 --> 00:31:19.000
built a few of them. I've bought a couple of

00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:22.380
them. They're all the same. Yeah. Like I said,

00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:27.220
I would agree to disagree on it. And I'd just

00:31:27.220 --> 00:31:31.640
say to do your research. And look for one, obviously

00:31:31.640 --> 00:31:33.500
one that's cheaper, especially if you don't like,

00:31:33.579 --> 00:31:35.839
I'm not going to be doing it a lot. So I'm not

00:31:35.839 --> 00:31:39.940
going to go and spend $1 ,000 on the Overland

00:31:39.940 --> 00:31:44.160
branded ones. But because they have $800 ones,

00:31:44.380 --> 00:31:47.059
$1 ,000 ones, and that just makes no sense for

00:31:47.059 --> 00:31:50.160
someone who's not getting paid for one to do

00:31:50.160 --> 00:31:56.059
it. So that's at least my take on that. But where

00:31:56.059 --> 00:31:58.470
are we at? I think we're at. Probably. Yeah,

00:31:58.470 --> 00:32:00.049
we're at our 30 minutes. We're at our 30 minutes.

00:32:01.430 --> 00:32:05.329
There's our wrapped slash diesel slash all the

00:32:05.329 --> 00:32:12.410
fun stuff. Yeah. No, you're wrong. There's nothing

00:32:12.410 --> 00:32:14.289
to disagree on. They're all the same product.

00:32:14.970 --> 00:32:18.450
I disagree. No, I'm not done yet. No. See, there's

00:32:18.450 --> 00:32:20.289
nothing to disagree on. They are the same product.

00:32:20.450 --> 00:32:24.309
What makes them quieter is the muffler. I disagree

00:32:24.309 --> 00:32:29.029
that. There is no difference in internal shielding

00:32:29.029 --> 00:32:33.650
or rerouting that makes them different. I think

00:32:33.650 --> 00:32:36.670
that there is a difference. I've seen the insides

00:32:36.670 --> 00:32:38.710
in some of these. It's only the casing, dude.

00:32:38.809 --> 00:32:41.609
It's only the casing. Because the diesel heater

00:32:41.609 --> 00:32:44.809
itself doesn't even need a casing to run. No.

00:32:45.390 --> 00:32:50.609
So the outside shroud on the heater component

00:32:50.609 --> 00:32:55.859
itself can be plastic. It can be aluminum. And

00:32:55.859 --> 00:32:58.460
some companies opt for aluminum, which supposedly

00:32:58.460 --> 00:33:04.700
makes it quieter and better with... Let me see.

00:33:05.579 --> 00:33:07.759
It sounds like they're just trying to make you

00:33:07.759 --> 00:33:12.180
think it's a better product because literally

00:33:12.180 --> 00:33:14.079
the only thing that makes noise is the exhaust,

00:33:14.279 --> 00:33:18.240
but you don't have the muffler in it. Yeah. Well,

00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:22.160
I definitely hear the fan, like the pushing out.

00:33:22.859 --> 00:33:25.960
And I've heard multiple diesel heaters side -by

00:33:25.960 --> 00:33:29.279
-side out camping, and they have different noise

00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:34.099
outputs. So, yes, I mean, like, obviously, H

00:33:34.099 --> 00:33:36.839
-Calorie is going to probably use all the same

00:33:36.839 --> 00:33:40.140
exhausts because that's kind of the cheapest

00:33:40.140 --> 00:33:44.539
option, cheapest thing to do. Some of them upgrade

00:33:44.539 --> 00:33:48.990
that. Now. There is a way to get a quieter one,

00:33:49.109 --> 00:33:52.349
which I didn't mention, is there is a brushless

00:33:52.349 --> 00:33:54.789
one. If you can get a brushless diesel heater,

00:33:54.910 --> 00:33:57.390
they're a lot quieter. But you're looking at

00:33:57.390 --> 00:34:02.170
spending $200 for a bare kit or up to like $400

00:34:02.170 --> 00:34:06.450
for an all -in -one. Yeah, I guess this goes

00:34:06.450 --> 00:34:11.469
back to the same debate with any really white

00:34:11.469 --> 00:34:16.329
label companies. Like the same Chinese manufacturers

00:34:16.329 --> 00:34:18.389
that build the compressors and everything else.

00:34:18.429 --> 00:34:23.610
I personally think that these companies put different

00:34:23.610 --> 00:34:27.909
internals to spec the product the way that they

00:34:27.909 --> 00:34:33.829
want it and keep the price competitive. And there's

00:34:33.829 --> 00:34:35.789
a lot of compressors out there that I think are

00:34:35.789 --> 00:34:39.280
pretty much the same. and there's just a few

00:34:39.280 --> 00:34:41.460
pieces on the inside that make up the difference

00:34:41.460 --> 00:34:45.159
so that that's more of what i'm trying to what

00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:47.980
i think is that a lot of these are comparable

00:34:47.980 --> 00:34:50.639
a lot of them do have a lot of the same pieces

00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:54.539
but i would like to know what makes them different

00:34:54.539 --> 00:35:00.440
for let's say lf bros if i can get like a parts

00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:07.989
list versus h calorie part list versus uh bougie

00:35:07.989 --> 00:35:10.929
rv versus the other so like i know they're similar

00:35:10.929 --> 00:35:14.070
well bougie rv is just straight white labeled

00:35:14.070 --> 00:35:16.929
they don't do anything custom i know um i i've

00:35:16.929 --> 00:35:20.250
got some partial part list here for you for lf

00:35:20.250 --> 00:35:23.949
bros yeah depending on which one you buy well

00:35:23.949 --> 00:35:26.869
i can read it to you or i can look at it and

00:35:26.869 --> 00:35:29.869
tell you um depending on which lf bros you buy

00:35:29.869 --> 00:35:32.929
they've got one that's got a brushless fan the

00:35:32.929 --> 00:35:34.969
the thing with the left bros is they use a different

00:35:34.969 --> 00:35:39.130
controller um That's the big thing with diesel

00:35:39.130 --> 00:35:41.070
heaters. All the controllers are different, and

00:35:41.070 --> 00:35:43.969
that's what makes the difference. But it doesn't

00:35:43.969 --> 00:35:47.409
change sound. It just changes features. Yeah.

00:35:47.469 --> 00:35:52.030
But it's all the same product other than the

00:35:52.030 --> 00:35:57.849
controller. Except for this guy. This guy would

00:35:57.849 --> 00:36:03.010
be nice and quiet because he is brushless. And

00:36:03.010 --> 00:36:05.150
that is your big difference, is if you find a

00:36:05.150 --> 00:36:07.449
brushless one... That's the only way to make

00:36:07.449 --> 00:36:20.670
him quieter. Gavin's muted. Whoops, sorry. Yeah,

00:36:20.750 --> 00:36:23.710
I've seen some review videos where they apparently,

00:36:23.889 --> 00:36:26.289
and I'm putting air quotations around this because

00:36:26.289 --> 00:36:30.610
I know it'll be refuted, but that apparently

00:36:30.610 --> 00:36:34.690
they talk to the... owners of the the company

00:36:34.690 --> 00:36:38.690
that sell these aftermarket not their white label

00:36:38.690 --> 00:36:41.849
obviously but they they say they have different

00:36:41.849 --> 00:36:43.750
internals they say that there are things that

00:36:43.750 --> 00:36:46.829
they do differently that make them better than

00:36:46.829 --> 00:36:50.230
the typical amazon white label so this is why

00:36:50.230 --> 00:36:54.070
i'm curious so here you go gavin don't buy a

00:36:54.070 --> 00:37:01.030
diesel heater buy this gasoline heater oh Oh,

00:37:01.070 --> 00:37:05.289
yeah, here you go. What the fuck? It says gasoline

00:37:05.289 --> 00:37:10.090
diesel parking water heater. What the hell is

00:37:10.090 --> 00:37:15.969
this thing? You're right. I just saw gasoline.

00:37:16.409 --> 00:37:22.010
What even is this thing? I don't even know. When

00:37:22.010 --> 00:37:24.409
you start the parking heater, it heats the coolant

00:37:24.409 --> 00:37:26.730
in the water tank. It transmits the warm air

00:37:26.730 --> 00:37:31.900
to the cabin through a fan. Oh, here we go. I

00:37:31.900 --> 00:37:35.260
got one for you guys. This one's self -powered.

00:37:36.659 --> 00:37:41.840
Oh, my God. I see that one. Just for the listeners,

00:37:41.920 --> 00:37:45.239
by the way, me and Alex arguing isn't us mad

00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:48.039
at each other or anything. We debate this quite

00:37:48.039 --> 00:37:50.940
a bit. Oh, dude, I'm pissed at you. I hate you.

00:37:50.940 --> 00:37:53.500
You're the worst. I just want everyone to know

00:37:53.500 --> 00:37:57.300
there's no hard feelings between our differing

00:37:57.300 --> 00:38:00.679
opinions. That's kind of why we... like having

00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:03.619
each other on here is because we both have different

00:38:03.619 --> 00:38:06.320
opinions on it. It's good to have that. This

00:38:06.320 --> 00:38:10.000
self -powered one, this one would be quiet. That

00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:14.340
muffler will make it quiet. Are those 18650s?

00:38:14.360 --> 00:38:16.519
If I could use my vape batteries to charge this,

00:38:16.619 --> 00:38:20.920
I'd be sick. They look more like 21700s, which

00:38:20.920 --> 00:38:25.900
are also a vape battery, or 26650s. I can't really

00:38:25.900 --> 00:38:30.739
tell what they are. That's cool, though. But

00:38:30.739 --> 00:38:34.480
if you want a quiet one, that kind of muffler

00:38:34.480 --> 00:38:39.739
is what you need. Oh, yeah. Oh, damn. That's

00:38:39.739 --> 00:38:44.900
a suppressor. Yeah. That's like a can right there,

00:38:44.980 --> 00:38:48.079
dude. That's honestly a pretty stout little unit.

00:38:48.280 --> 00:38:54.820
Yeah. $639, I hope so. Ooh, $795 if you get the

00:38:54.820 --> 00:38:58.929
storage bags, which are also sick. Yeah. We know

00:38:58.929 --> 00:39:02.590
Alex likes his storage bags. No, it's really

00:39:02.590 --> 00:39:06.670
what it comes down to is it's all packaging,

00:39:06.789 --> 00:39:08.769
right? You can build something better than most

00:39:08.769 --> 00:39:10.449
of these because you're going to put more expensive

00:39:10.449 --> 00:39:13.329
parts in than what they will. Yeah. Because you're

00:39:13.329 --> 00:39:19.769
not having to deal with the markup. All right,

00:39:19.869 --> 00:39:21.989
that's 40 minutes. We'll call it there. 40 minutes,

00:39:22.010 --> 00:39:22.469
calling it.
