WEBVTT 00:00:09.129 --> 00:00:12.390 Welcome to botches off -road and guys if you're 00:00:12.390 --> 00:00:14.630 wondering I waited a long time for extra room 00:00:14.630 --> 00:00:16.370 tone because one of you have a lot of background 00:00:16.370 --> 00:00:18.829 noise and I'm not sure who it is So I just want 00:00:18.829 --> 00:00:21.250 to have as much room tone to clean it up. Gotcha. 00:00:21.550 --> 00:00:24.309 Probably I I was gonna say I just turned off 00:00:24.309 --> 00:00:30.929 all my fans all three of them. So Yes Welcome 00:00:30.929 --> 00:00:33.509 to botches off -road. I know I just said that 00:00:33.509 --> 00:00:39.509 it's okay Today we are talking about wraps and 00:00:39.509 --> 00:00:44.070 wrap like items I Don't even know who's got a 00:00:44.070 --> 00:00:48.049 wrap who did something this last weekend Yeah, 00:00:49.469 --> 00:00:53.710 I just I've been organizing gear oh so and the 00:00:53.710 --> 00:00:56.969 last episode I talked about my air compressor 00:00:56.969 --> 00:01:00.710 failure so yeah, I worked on my air compressor 00:01:00.710 --> 00:01:07.500 and I was trying to figure out what was positive, 00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:11.140 what was negative, and plugged it into my battery, 00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:15.060 just my little drill battery, just to see if 00:01:15.060 --> 00:01:18.420 I could figure out which was working. It sparked 00:01:18.420 --> 00:01:20.620 a little bit, but I think I found it out. I think 00:01:20.620 --> 00:01:23.920 I found the right ones. If I plug it onto the 00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:25.640 other side, it does nothing. If I plug it into 00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:27.640 one side, it sparks a little bit, but it runs 00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:33.129 really fucking fast. I think that's because I 00:01:33.129 --> 00:01:36.510 have it like the battery is like one of those 00:01:36.510 --> 00:01:39.510 larger bigger ones for like Circular saw and 00:01:39.510 --> 00:01:42.069 it's let it for you and it's a 20 it's at least 00:01:42.069 --> 00:01:46.810 a 20 volt or a 40 at 20. So yeah But it was running 00:01:46.810 --> 00:01:51.489 so good. I re hooked up Reattach some Andersons 00:01:51.489 --> 00:01:54.810 got that all plugged in clean that up So as far 00:01:54.810 --> 00:01:58.390 as I know air compressors good next thing I'm 00:01:58.390 --> 00:02:02.579 working on I got my battery coming tomorrow. 00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:05.739 It's not coming from anywhere other than AutoZone, 00:02:05.819 --> 00:02:09.439 but I'm getting it tomorrow. And then I'm going 00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:11.740 to be ordering... We don't have any spare wire, 00:02:11.819 --> 00:02:14.900 right? We used all that. Yeah, we used all that. 00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:18.340 Okay, so I have another set of four gauge wires 00:02:18.340 --> 00:02:23.879 in my... Can you stop? You're distracting me. 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:28.340 Alex is using his like auto follow thing with 00:02:28.340 --> 00:02:31.860 his... It's the recording app because it does 00:02:31.860 --> 00:02:37.580 it to me too. But yeah, so I'm, uh, what was 00:02:37.580 --> 00:02:41.199 I doing? Hey, you distracted me. Gauge wires. 00:02:41.819 --> 00:02:44.719 Gauge wires. Yeah. I have, uh, the wire in the 00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:47.560 cart, the four gauge wire in the cart. Um, and 00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:52.139 then I am going to get that ordered in, put my 00:02:52.139 --> 00:02:55.460 Marine battery behind the seat, run that new 00:02:55.460 --> 00:03:01.119 wire from the battery through the fire, uh, firewall, 00:03:01.119 --> 00:03:03.740 route it somewhere where it's hidden. I don't 00:03:03.740 --> 00:03:06.020 want those big ass wires hanging out somewhere. 00:03:06.900 --> 00:03:11.219 Get it to the back seat and then hook it up to 00:03:11.219 --> 00:03:14.139 the battery. So, and let me brainstorm with you 00:03:14.139 --> 00:03:16.419 guys real quick. There shouldn't be any real 00:03:16.419 --> 00:03:19.719 issue there, right? Going from just making a 00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:25.039 direct connection from my main battery to the 00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:29.490 Marine battery. Deep cell? Yeah. Yes. Yes. Like 00:03:29.490 --> 00:03:35.289 while the vehicle's running? Shouldn't be. Because 00:03:35.289 --> 00:03:38.569 I only plan to do that. I only plan on connecting 00:03:38.569 --> 00:03:41.729 the Anderson together when I need to charge it. 00:03:42.770 --> 00:03:46.389 Right? So. Yeah. You really should just spend 00:03:46.389 --> 00:03:49.129 the like $14 on a freaking charge controller. 00:03:52.669 --> 00:03:56.490 Charge controller. Well, I will if I need one. 00:03:56.490 --> 00:03:58.789 That's kind of. I know we were talking about 00:03:58.789 --> 00:04:02.610 it the other day, but... This is a much needed 00:04:02.610 --> 00:04:04.289 conversation, because I also was trying to wrap 00:04:04.289 --> 00:04:06.990 my head around what I need to do for another 00:04:06.990 --> 00:04:11.370 battery. Yeah. You really should spend the, like, 00:04:11.509 --> 00:04:15.189 16 bucks that it costs to get a 12 -volt to 12 00:04:15.189 --> 00:04:17.870 -volt charger. Because that would naturally turn 00:04:17.870 --> 00:04:19.829 itself off, and we don't have to worry about 00:04:19.829 --> 00:04:26.279 it, correct? Correct. Okay, so... Let me find 00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:33.439 one real quick Definitely gonna be a mother. 00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:35.800 I'm gonna probably be doing this year to another 00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:39.959 battery inside the cab Yeah, I need to do one 00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:43.939 as well Just gives me something that I can run 00:04:43.939 --> 00:04:45.459 stuff off without having to worry about killing 00:04:45.459 --> 00:04:49.000 my truck. Yeah, right Okay, they are not as cheap 00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:53.060 as I thought they were Probably looking at prices 00:04:53.060 --> 00:05:00.060 when we first came out They're like a hundred 00:05:00.060 --> 00:05:06.680 and fifty yeah one for sixty, but if I look up 00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:12.819 I Think if you do an isolator that would do it 00:05:20.649 --> 00:05:24.430 What is the yeah, here you go You would want 00:05:24.430 --> 00:05:28.990 an ultra isolator. So what that's gonna do is 00:05:28.990 --> 00:05:31.949 It won't let your truck draw off that battery, 00:05:31.949 --> 00:05:39.430 but it will let that battery charge. Oh Yeah, 00:05:39.490 --> 00:05:43.870 yeah, I actually have this in my I have the more 00:05:43.870 --> 00:05:48.339 expensive one in And my thing but it looks like 00:05:48.339 --> 00:05:50.800 veever has a dual battery isolator kit for 22 00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:57.100 bucks Probably I know nylon has one for like 00:05:57.100 --> 00:06:08.519 18 19 see I'm assuming you sent it and chat. 00:06:09.180 --> 00:06:11.600 I did send one in chat. I don't know if it's 00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:17.870 the cheapest one, okay Excuse me So basically 00:06:17.870 --> 00:06:22.569 for everybody who's listening to us look what 00:06:22.569 --> 00:06:27.589 we're trying to do is run a Secondary battery 00:06:27.589 --> 00:06:31.889 for running like auxiliary power Other stuff 00:06:31.889 --> 00:06:34.350 like just other stuff that isn't gonna drain 00:06:34.350 --> 00:06:37.689 our main battery but the issue is is if we had 00:06:37.689 --> 00:06:42.790 if we leave the like the deep cell plugged in 00:06:43.819 --> 00:06:46.139 then I'm assuming it's just going to pull power 00:06:46.139 --> 00:06:50.220 from our original battery when it's not charged. 00:06:52.100 --> 00:06:53.939 The other way you could do it, which would be 00:06:53.939 --> 00:06:59.779 really smart, is an actual relay. So on the switch 00:06:59.779 --> 00:07:02.259 side of the relay, you're going to have power 00:07:02.259 --> 00:07:05.019 from the battery to one side, power to your new 00:07:05.019 --> 00:07:07.579 battery on the other, and then you tie into an 00:07:07.579 --> 00:07:10.160 accessory. So when you turn the key on your truck, 00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:15.449 it connects those two. That would probably be 00:07:15.449 --> 00:07:17.629 the cheapest way. But would we need to be worried 00:07:17.629 --> 00:07:22.110 about, like, overcharging? No, I don't think 00:07:22.110 --> 00:07:25.069 so. Okay. Because if it's already fully charged 00:07:25.069 --> 00:07:27.870 and I'm just running for, you know, five hours. 00:07:27.889 --> 00:07:31.689 Yeah. And that's kind of like, I like the idea 00:07:31.689 --> 00:07:34.490 of getting this isolated. You guys will have 00:07:34.490 --> 00:07:39.170 to talk to each other. Okay. Well, all right. 00:07:39.230 --> 00:07:42.100 Have fun with that. So, but yeah, no, I like 00:07:42.100 --> 00:07:45.040 the idea of getting a isolator for this though, 00:07:45.300 --> 00:07:48.019 because being able for it to just do that automatically, 00:07:49.420 --> 00:07:55.139 that's probably, I mean, let's see what it says. 00:07:56.579 --> 00:07:59.819 It's a voltage sensitive relay ensures that the 00:07:59.819 --> 00:08:01.980 primary battery is always charged and ready to 00:08:01.980 --> 00:08:06.639 start the vehicle by cutting in at 13 .3 volts 00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:09.709 and cutting out at 12 .8 volts. When your engine 00:08:09.709 --> 00:08:12.170 is turned on and the starting battery is fully 00:08:12.170 --> 00:08:14.629 charged, the isolation will start charging the 00:08:14.629 --> 00:08:18.410 second battery at the same time. It enables you 00:08:18.410 --> 00:08:20.569 to charge two batteries from one alternator at 00:08:20.569 --> 00:08:25.509 the same time. So dual battery isolator is made 00:08:25.509 --> 00:08:29.670 of high quality, blah, blah, blah, blah. Let's 00:08:29.670 --> 00:08:34.740 see. And it's like having two separate power 00:08:34.740 --> 00:08:36.799 sources. The dual battery oscillator kit enables 00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:39.279 your accessories to run from a separate battery 00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:43.320 while the engine is not running on your vehicle 00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:45.639 while keeping your main battery charged and your 00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:49.639 vehicle always stays ready to go. So the basic 00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:51.600 idea behind this, which I'm going to add this 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:54.779 actually to my list, to my cart, because I think 00:08:54.779 --> 00:08:58.179 I'm going to buy it, is to have something like 00:08:58.179 --> 00:09:02.809 this so that we can run, let's say, I need to 00:09:02.809 --> 00:09:07.409 charge my fridge or I need to power my diesel 00:09:07.409 --> 00:09:10.970 heater all night. What I could do is have this 00:09:10.970 --> 00:09:14.629 battery behind the seat, make a connection from 00:09:14.629 --> 00:09:18.190 the battery to an Anderson connector, and then 00:09:18.190 --> 00:09:26.710 run a Anderson to the diesel heater and run the 00:09:26.710 --> 00:09:29.210 diesel heater all night. So I did some testing. 00:09:31.379 --> 00:09:33.659 Yesterday or the day before I ran the diesel 00:09:33.659 --> 00:09:37.080 here. It's super, super quiet. Like you could 00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:40.159 barely hear it at all. Yeah. And so that was 00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:43.080 really good because I think Alex showed me his 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:45.820 other one in the shop. I was like, fuck, this 00:09:45.820 --> 00:09:47.940 is loud. Nobody is going to want to listen to 00:09:47.940 --> 00:09:51.100 this. Like they had the muffler or was just the 00:09:51.100 --> 00:09:53.000 no. But even when he put it on, it was still 00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:55.080 like louder than I expected. But I think it was 00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:57.879 because we were in a room. Yeah. He was in that 00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:01.559 main shop entry. Wait, was this his actual one 00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:03.200 we're using for camping one for the one that 00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:06.600 was on the meal? The one for camping. Okay, I 00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:09.600 guess I didn't read it loud. Well, it seemed 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:11.799 loud from inside of that room where he started 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:14.529 it. So like even when it calmed down, I was like, 00:10:14.669 --> 00:10:16.830 yeah, this seems pretty loud, but I'm assuming 00:10:16.830 --> 00:10:19.190 that's because we were surrounded with four walls 00:10:19.190 --> 00:10:22.750 and there was no like sound dampening. So I had 00:10:22.750 --> 00:10:25.450 this outside on my porch and I had it plugged 00:10:25.450 --> 00:10:28.330 into my little battery pack that anchor 521 I 00:10:28.330 --> 00:10:34.049 have. It's only like this big. And that started 00:10:34.049 --> 00:10:37.809 it, which was really cool. And it ran it. And 00:10:37.809 --> 00:10:40.690 I, when I started it, I think I started at like 00:10:40.690 --> 00:10:46.720 70%. charge on the anchor power bank. And I think 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:49.740 just the starting procedure, which lasted, I 00:10:49.740 --> 00:10:52.059 don't know, I want to say five minutes or so, 00:10:52.059 --> 00:10:54.600 five, 10 minutes, just getting the fuel pumped 00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:57.899 in for the first time, getting it lit, the igniting, 00:10:58.059 --> 00:11:00.980 getting it up to temp, et cetera. Just getting 00:11:00.980 --> 00:11:03.840 it there, which I think pulls more power from 00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:07.399 what everyone says, that brought it down to like 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:13.860 66%. And then It hasn't projected like run time 00:11:13.860 --> 00:11:16.519 based off of the wattage it's pulling. So you 00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:20.240 can always check that and look. And like the 00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:22.720 66 % I took a picture of it and said it would 00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:26.740 run like four hours. So that's not bad. That's 00:11:26.740 --> 00:11:29.740 most of the night, right? But that's a full charge 00:11:29.740 --> 00:11:32.639 from full to empty on my power bank and I would 00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:36.659 have to recharge that power bank. And that's 00:11:36.659 --> 00:11:40.039 not allowing for... me to charge anything else. 00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:43.820 It's not allowing for me to use that power bank 00:11:43.820 --> 00:11:47.940 to like charge my phone or power like a coffee 00:11:47.940 --> 00:11:51.240 grinder or charge the fridge. So that's kind 00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:53.600 of what led me like down into this to where like 00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:56.480 we've been, we've all been kind of looking for 00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:01.000 a second battery, but winter gets so cold that 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:04.860 like, unless we have the money to shuck out for 00:12:04.860 --> 00:12:08.690 like a heated lithium battery. It just doesn't 00:12:08.690 --> 00:12:11.450 make sense for us to use that like a regular 00:12:11.450 --> 00:12:15.389 lithium. Yeah, a little liquid. Yeah, because 00:12:15.389 --> 00:12:18.529 of the cutoff. So I mean, I was looking at that 00:12:18.529 --> 00:12:21.590 a little bit. Alex is a little differing in opinion 00:12:21.590 --> 00:12:24.409 there, but it's kind of the same. It's just they 00:12:24.409 --> 00:12:26.929 become a lot less effective in the cold and they 00:12:26.929 --> 00:12:31.059 have to have like heat pads. But even with the 00:12:31.059 --> 00:12:33.399 heat pads, from what the video that I was talking 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:35.240 about, there's like an electrician talking about 00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:38.419 the pros and cons. Even with the heat pads keeping 00:12:38.419 --> 00:12:41.419 the battery warm, it still has a much longer 00:12:41.419 --> 00:12:46.500 like runtime. It's much more efficient. But for 00:12:46.500 --> 00:12:50.879 our price points, trying to do this under, what, 00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:55.080 $200? Yeah. I think my subtotal right now in 00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:59.710 cart, is with the wiring, so I already have the 00:12:59.710 --> 00:13:02.070 Andersons, I might upgrade to larger Andersons 00:13:02.070 --> 00:13:05.330 like Alex suggested. Hope I didn't miss too much. 00:13:05.750 --> 00:13:09.830 Yeah, you did, but it's okay. But yeah, so I 00:13:09.830 --> 00:13:12.730 might upgrade to the larger Andersons. I'm gonna 00:13:12.730 --> 00:13:16.370 grab the isolator and the wiring. With all that, 00:13:16.490 --> 00:13:18.490 oh, and the duct, because I do need a longer 00:13:18.490 --> 00:13:21.950 duct. Now, the duct that I did come with was 00:13:21.950 --> 00:13:26.639 probably only like... two feet. Is that? Oh, 00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:29.860 you're talking for the diesel heater. Yeah. And 00:13:29.860 --> 00:13:33.299 then the little plastic port on of it, which 00:13:33.299 --> 00:13:36.740 I could probably use for, still use for the tent, 00:13:37.259 --> 00:13:41.299 had a little plastic port, exhaust port that 00:13:41.299 --> 00:13:45.240 you could use. Oh. So I ordered some tent vents 00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:47.899 that go into your zipper. The ones I ordered 00:13:47.899 --> 00:13:50.360 use that port. And then you put your hose to 00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:53.700 that. And it keeps the actual 3D printed part 00:13:53.700 --> 00:13:58.460 from melting. Yeah. So but anyway, with that, 00:13:58.940 --> 00:14:00.779 even with that two foot of hose, I didn't get 00:14:00.779 --> 00:14:04.799 hot enough that it would like burn me. It was 00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:06.440 not enough that I couldn't hold my hand on it 00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:08.980 forever. But after a long time, I'm sure it would 00:14:08.980 --> 00:14:11.679 do some damage, but it didn't melt the plastic. 00:14:11.740 --> 00:14:13.120 And that's kind of what I was worried about. 00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:18.899 So anyway, I tested all that out. So with that 00:14:18.899 --> 00:14:22.019 second battery, I should be able to do that for 00:14:22.019 --> 00:14:25.629 days without needing. on a fully charged deep 00:14:25.629 --> 00:14:28.429 cycle battery, I should be able to power a diesel 00:14:28.429 --> 00:14:32.149 heater for days. Whereas the anchor, which by 00:14:32.149 --> 00:14:34.909 the way, the anchor, the power station brand 00:14:34.909 --> 00:14:39.870 new was $100. I've had it now for three years. 00:14:40.409 --> 00:14:44.809 It's definitely done its part, but to get another 00:14:44.809 --> 00:14:47.929 one, it would be a hundred some dollars or to 00:14:47.929 --> 00:14:51.240 get a marine battery. I'm getting one for a slight 00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:55.440 discount for probably like $80 so I can get the 00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:58.740 marine battery for $80 I can get this isolator 00:14:58.740 --> 00:15:02.240 kit How many amp hours is that marine battery? 00:15:03.259 --> 00:15:06.240 Let me see if she's still I think I have the 00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:14.799 screenshot actually still Because me and Alex 00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:17.700 are trying to figure out potential trail welding 00:15:18.700 --> 00:15:22.740 We're gonna run off two batteries or I'm not 00:15:22.740 --> 00:15:25.740 sure we kind of based off of the picture. It's 00:15:25.740 --> 00:15:33.480 a 24 MS It's a value craft Oh, it's a marine 00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:35.860 starting battery she needs the other one yeah 00:15:35.860 --> 00:15:42.080 The other one is a deep cycle 685 marine cranking 00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:50.950 amps 140 RC. I don't know what that is But it 00:15:50.950 --> 00:15:54.029 was a me Alex has more than one purpose for the 00:15:54.029 --> 00:15:56.309 battery besides you just powering stuff Oh trail. 00:15:56.409 --> 00:15:58.929 Yeah trail welding would be a great thing even 00:15:58.929 --> 00:16:01.889 for me I don't know how to weld but I would learn 00:16:01.889 --> 00:16:05.149 to weld with this To be able to make sure I could 00:16:05.149 --> 00:16:08.370 you know get off the trail with it Does that 00:16:08.370 --> 00:16:11.470 kit need? Deep cell batteries or does it just 00:16:11.470 --> 00:16:13.490 work with starter batteries because that would 00:16:13.490 --> 00:16:16.409 change what we do what oh you're talking the 00:16:16.409 --> 00:16:22.769 the welding kit Yeah I don't know. Which building 00:16:22.769 --> 00:16:29.570 are we looking at? Either Bonner Carnage. I thought 00:16:29.570 --> 00:16:35.309 Carnage just needed regular car batteries. I 00:16:35.309 --> 00:16:39.110 think it just asked for two of them. I bet you 00:16:39.110 --> 00:16:47.639 it needs regular ones. I don't know. while you 00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:50.299 guys look that up though so that's that's basically 00:16:50.299 --> 00:16:53.460 my wrap i tested out the diesel heater with my 00:16:53.460 --> 00:16:58.519 power bank and this is for alex too i got 3 .9 00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:03.840 hours at 66 where i started so i should be able 00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:10.309 to get maybe six hours ish with a full charge 00:17:10.309 --> 00:17:12.009 on the power bank, but then I wouldn't be able 00:17:12.009 --> 00:17:13.950 to charge anything else or do anything else. 00:17:14.809 --> 00:17:18.029 So using that marine battery, storing it. I think 00:17:18.029 --> 00:17:21.009 I want to try and encase it because I don't want 00:17:21.009 --> 00:17:26.430 those cables and stuff to be able to fuck with 00:17:26.430 --> 00:17:31.650 with my kid. So I might look into like a battery 00:17:31.650 --> 00:17:36.450 box and then... Does that isolator I wonder if 00:17:36.450 --> 00:17:38.769 that isolator has to be mounted directly where 00:17:38.769 --> 00:17:41.710 the other battery is or if I can mount that in 00:17:41.710 --> 00:17:47.069 the battery box With it, I don't know. I'll look 00:17:47.069 --> 00:17:48.990 that's that's that one more time. I'm sorry. 00:17:49.089 --> 00:17:53.809 So the isolator that nylight isolator I am asking 00:17:53.809 --> 00:17:56.910 like just can I mount that into the battery box 00:17:56.910 --> 00:17:59.750 with the marine battery? Or do I need to mount 00:17:59.750 --> 00:18:03.190 it under the hood somewhere closer to the battery? 00:18:03.210 --> 00:18:05.839 I mean it If it fits in with the marine battery, 00:18:05.940 --> 00:18:10.519 I'd put it in there. Then it's all enclosed. 00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:12.900 And if you take it out, you just disconnect your 00:18:12.900 --> 00:18:14.680 Anderson and pull the whole box out. Yeah, because 00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:16.500 technically with you, because you have a second. 00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:20.279 No, you have a single battery, but it's relocated. 00:18:20.740 --> 00:18:22.420 But you could mount that in the box if you had 00:18:22.420 --> 00:18:26.900 the space for it, technically. Say my battery's 00:18:26.900 --> 00:18:30.039 in a box. So so all I have to do when I pull 00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:32.259 it out is pull the Anderson connector and then 00:18:32.259 --> 00:18:36.920 pull slide out the box And when I add my second 00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:41.220 one, I'm gonna put the Isolator in the box so 00:18:41.220 --> 00:18:43.599 that to get that battery out. I just disconnected 00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:48.339 that Anderson and slide it out. Mm -hmm All I'm 00:18:48.339 --> 00:18:51.859 seeing is 24 volt batteries for the bun well, 00:18:51.859 --> 00:18:55.140 right? I don't Yeah, I don't know if it matters. 00:18:55.140 --> 00:19:02.789 That'd be a question to ask. Yeah Yeah, but that's 00:19:02.789 --> 00:19:05.410 exciting too because that way it doesn't drain 00:19:05.410 --> 00:19:07.589 my main battery to charge the marine battery 00:19:07.589 --> 00:19:11.390 I can use that isolator That's quick shipping. 00:19:11.390 --> 00:19:17.470 It's $21 easy peasy. I Just I have to figure 00:19:17.470 --> 00:19:22.269 out exactly I'm assuming you just run It would 00:19:22.269 --> 00:19:27.829 just go in between Yep, right Yep, that's exactly 00:19:27.829 --> 00:19:31.960 what it does So, I would have to, well, so I 00:19:31.960 --> 00:19:35.740 would have to split my positive four gauge, put 00:19:35.740 --> 00:19:37.720 a connector on the end of it, connect it to one 00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:41.240 of the terminals, and then the other positive, 00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:43.940 you know, put another terminal on the other end, 00:19:44.500 --> 00:19:49.440 connect it, and it's just a bridge, right? One 00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:51.920 second, I'm typing out a message to Von Powerwilders. 00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:57.420 Wow. So focused on the show here. Oh, fuck. Never 00:19:57.420 --> 00:19:59.140 mind. That's premier and premieres a whole different 00:19:59.140 --> 00:20:05.059 thing. I'll look into it later. But yeah. You 00:20:05.059 --> 00:20:06.960 should just go in line between the battery and 00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:10.119 the battery like an inline fuse, basically. Yep. 00:20:10.220 --> 00:20:13.079 Yeah. OK. That makes sense. Yeah. So then I'll 00:20:13.079 --> 00:20:14.880 mount that. It might be better to just mount 00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:17.859 it up by the firewall or something. If I have 00:20:17.859 --> 00:20:20.420 if I could find the space, we'll figure we'll 00:20:20.420 --> 00:20:23.019 cross that bridge and we get there. Gavin has 00:20:23.019 --> 00:20:26.400 to go through all of his electrical in the spring. 00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:31.140 and fix some stuff. I don't have anything per 00:20:31.140 --> 00:20:34.920 se broken. It's just I have a rat nest of wires, 00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:38.559 and I'd like to go through a shrink tubing and 00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:42.079 with the labeler and relabel everything so that 00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:44.559 if I ever have to pull a wire, I know which ones 00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:50.680 are what. But for now, I did check with Sienna, 00:20:50.740 --> 00:20:53.180 by the way. I will not be able to make it on 00:20:53.180 --> 00:20:56.759 the 23rd because she is... Working that whole 00:20:56.759 --> 00:21:01.700 weekend so that I could go on the 30th so But 00:21:01.700 --> 00:21:06.619 this will be a good tester for me to see if this 00:21:06.619 --> 00:21:11.460 is Something that we can do pretty sure it is 00:21:11.460 --> 00:21:16.079 So that's the fun and that's my rap at least 00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:21.559 so I had a lot of a lot of Shit, I did but not 00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:24.680 a lot at the same time I didn't do anything to 00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:30.240 my truck, just all wiring stuff here. It's nothing 00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:32.519 fun. It's just a coke. Just a coke. Well, I have 00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:34.480 a half -drank Dr. Pepper, and the only reason 00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:37.420 I was half -drank is because the floor drank 00:21:37.420 --> 00:21:43.359 half of it. So yeah, the only rep I've got is 00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:47.519 that we're going camping the 23rd. Yeah. Without 00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:50.180 Gavin apparently because he sucks. I mean you 00:21:50.180 --> 00:21:52.319 could talk about how you downsize your pack outs 00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:57.500 in your truck I did I ditched my drawer system 00:21:57.500 --> 00:22:02.539 and put all my tools in I The smaller pack I'll 00:22:02.539 --> 00:22:10.700 give you the part number on that real quick Yeah, 00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:14.119 no, I I really been playing with packouts this 00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:18.910 last week I down, I got rid of my drawer and 00:22:18.910 --> 00:22:24.529 went to a. They just call it the Milwaukee packout 00:22:24.529 --> 00:22:28.569 compact organizer. Um, I got like six of those, 00:22:28.710 --> 00:22:32.390 I think. And I put separated my tools out based 00:22:32.390 --> 00:22:34.309 on what they are so that if you need something, 00:22:34.309 --> 00:22:36.470 you just grab one box and go. You don't have 00:22:36.470 --> 00:22:38.769 to grab, you know, you don't have to dig through 00:22:38.769 --> 00:22:42.130 a drawer. You can just grab the actual box. Um, 00:22:43.769 --> 00:22:47.079 and I set that up and. Put all the tools out 00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:50.019 of the drawer plus some more tools and it took 00:22:50.019 --> 00:22:52.680 up less space than the divers I Couldn't believe 00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:54.920 the height difference between what you had in 00:22:54.920 --> 00:22:58.980 drawers into those You almost like I think John's 00:22:58.980 --> 00:23:03.240 you down the half almost Yeah, I'd say it's a 00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:08.480 good eight inches shorter So that's pretty pretty 00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:10.980 handy because it was kind of hard to see out 00:23:10.980 --> 00:23:13.480 the back of the car with all the packouts so 00:23:14.029 --> 00:23:22.470 Have made it much much shorter. Yeah And then 00:23:22.470 --> 00:23:32.549 pack out came out with a new tool bag It is This 00:23:32.549 --> 00:23:36.450 guy Just the 20 inch pack out tool bag. It's 00:23:36.450 --> 00:23:38.829 about the size of the ammo can maybe a little 00:23:38.829 --> 00:23:43.589 smaller, but it's soft sided with a zipper So 00:23:43.769 --> 00:23:45.170 That's pretty cool. That's what I'm going to 00:23:45.170 --> 00:23:47.269 be putting my clothes in. That way I can just 00:23:47.269 --> 00:23:49.789 click them in outside the truck, inside the truck. 00:23:49.869 --> 00:23:54.450 It doesn't matter. They'll fit anywhere. Also 00:23:54.450 --> 00:23:56.910 probably going to have, going to pick up those 00:23:56.910 --> 00:24:00.109 for clothes as well. Could be a lot nicer than 00:24:00.109 --> 00:24:06.470 the ammo can one. And we can, it can squish down 00:24:06.470 --> 00:24:08.609 if there's a little space and put something on 00:24:08.609 --> 00:24:11.690 top of that. Exactly. Yeah. And you could almost 00:24:11.690 --> 00:24:14.539 use it as a pillow. Almost. I don't know what 00:24:14.539 --> 00:24:16.359 would be that comfortable putting your arm underneath 00:24:16.359 --> 00:24:19.059 the packout plate. It's hard, because that's 00:24:19.059 --> 00:24:23.380 hard plastic on the bottom. Yeah. I don't really 00:24:23.380 --> 00:24:25.619 put my arm under my pillow. I think this summer 00:24:25.619 --> 00:24:30.220 I'll be on a hunt for a full -size pillow that 00:24:30.220 --> 00:24:34.079 I can pack down to a much smaller size, because 00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:38.339 I use my room pillow when we camp now. For the 00:24:38.339 --> 00:24:44.140 first year, I haven't been. And I deeply regret 00:24:44.140 --> 00:24:47.579 it. So I started bringing my full size pillow 00:24:47.579 --> 00:24:50.039 and yeah, it takes up the extra space, but I 00:24:50.039 --> 00:24:53.799 sleep miles better with just an actual pillow 00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:57.579 instead of like a pile of my clothing. Like I 00:24:57.579 --> 00:25:01.140 used to sleep on the inflated pillow and my backpack 00:25:01.140 --> 00:25:04.740 that I had my clothes in. And that was just like, 00:25:05.319 --> 00:25:09.539 no, I can't, I'm not comfortable. So. I'm going 00:25:09.539 --> 00:25:12.700 to be on the hunt for a good pillow. I need something 00:25:12.700 --> 00:25:17.460 that gives my head some good rays. Yeah. Thermarest 00:25:17.460 --> 00:25:20.980 has a pillow. I technically run two pillows, 00:25:21.460 --> 00:25:23.640 but you got to let it sit for a little bit. It'll 00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:27.220 get nice and plump, but it folds down too. I 00:25:27.220 --> 00:25:29.700 just got to find a list. I have a Thermarest. 00:25:31.380 --> 00:25:35.440 It's like chunked up memory foam. Yes. And it 00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:38.569 extends large. And that's kind of what I use 00:25:38.569 --> 00:25:42.250 for what I did use for the first year, pretty 00:25:42.250 --> 00:25:47.390 much. And it was nice, but it just wasn't enough 00:25:47.390 --> 00:25:51.450 pillow. Like, I needed more. Which size did you 00:25:51.450 --> 00:26:01.269 go with? The large. I've just got cheap, like, 00:26:01.269 --> 00:26:05.799 chunked -up memory foam small pillows. I could 00:26:05.799 --> 00:26:07.640 put big pillows in there. That's what I sleep 00:26:07.640 --> 00:26:10.079 with at home, though, is a chunked -up memory 00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:12.819 foam pillow, because then I can squish the padding 00:26:12.819 --> 00:26:14.519 wherever I want to make it as big as I want. 00:26:14.599 --> 00:26:18.240 Yeah. Mine is, like, heavy. I don't know what's 00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:20.940 in it. I don't know if it's memory foam. I've 00:26:20.940 --> 00:26:25.079 had it for, like, 15 years, and it's my pillow. 00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:27.599 Like, nobody touches that motherfucker. It's 00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:30.059 all mine. And it weighs the size of, like, it 00:26:30.059 --> 00:26:32.160 weighs as much as a small kid. I don't know what's 00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:36.529 in it. I just know it's perfect. Probably asbestos. 00:26:36.529 --> 00:26:39.609 I don't even care. I sleep so well on it, I'll 00:26:39.609 --> 00:26:44.130 chance the asbestos. That kind of thing, that 00:26:44.130 --> 00:26:47.509 upgraded my sleep game, which is really important 00:26:47.509 --> 00:26:51.529 when we're out doing that kind of shit. Leagues 00:26:51.529 --> 00:26:55.990 and bounds, no more sleeping on camp gear. That 00:26:55.990 --> 00:26:58.849 was so nice. Because the bad part about these 00:26:58.849 --> 00:27:01.390 pillows is like... Maybe I just have a big -ass 00:27:01.390 --> 00:27:03.049 head, but it doesn't matter. Even the memory 00:27:03.049 --> 00:27:05.369 foam pillows, eventually they get flat with just 00:27:05.369 --> 00:27:07.829 the weight of your head on them. So like the 00:27:07.829 --> 00:27:12.509 Thermarest did. Yeah, and the big memory foam, 00:27:12.609 --> 00:27:14.349 the ones that have memory foam chunks in them, 00:27:14.349 --> 00:27:16.369 the big ones, you just add more, because you 00:27:16.369 --> 00:27:20.549 can buy just the fill for it. And those are great. 00:27:21.049 --> 00:27:22.710 Honestly, I'm going to be getting a couple of 00:27:22.710 --> 00:27:25.150 those to put in the swag, because I'm so sick 00:27:25.150 --> 00:27:28.829 of using those tiny pillows. And with the swag, 00:27:28.970 --> 00:27:30.730 it's not a space. You know, I'm not worried about 00:27:30.730 --> 00:27:33.789 space. I just roll it up in there anyway. Yeah. 00:27:33.930 --> 00:27:36.769 Yeah, so... Yeah, other than that, though, this 00:27:36.769 --> 00:27:38.630 week, I don't really think I've done much. I've 00:27:38.630 --> 00:27:41.670 been organizing more. I'm just, I'm getting so 00:27:41.670 --> 00:27:43.369 tired. And then, like, I'm not gonna lie, I've 00:27:43.369 --> 00:27:46.349 been watching the X Overland a lot on repeat 00:27:46.349 --> 00:27:50.390 just because it's on. And they're just so fucking 00:27:50.390 --> 00:27:53.049 organized. And then, like, it almost points out 00:27:53.049 --> 00:27:56.670 to how unorganized I am. Just in the house and 00:27:56.670 --> 00:28:00.150 stuff. Like not even like with my gear in the 00:28:00.150 --> 00:28:02.950 house, like I have flashlights and headlamps 00:28:02.950 --> 00:28:07.069 everywhere. And like, so I'm trying to get all 00:28:07.069 --> 00:28:09.829 of my gear situated and categorized and labeled 00:28:09.829 --> 00:28:13.529 so that when I do want to go, I could just boom, 00:28:14.369 --> 00:28:16.190 grab it. Hey, I need headlamps. Let's pick out 00:28:16.190 --> 00:28:20.150 of these headlamps. Um, I'm buying a multi -port 00:28:20.150 --> 00:28:23.390 like charging station so that I could charge 00:28:23.390 --> 00:28:26.960 all of my headlamps, my lights. Um, anything 00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:30.720 that requires charging, like my, uh, my water 00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:36.240 pump, um, my, uh, inflator for like the air mattresses 00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:40.240 or whatever, have all that charging in one area 00:28:40.240 --> 00:28:44.099 instead of having 15 cords all around the house 00:28:44.099 --> 00:28:48.519 because I don't have enough plugs. So I'm working 00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:52.119 on that. I, I'm just so tired of like, like when 00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:54.259 like we, we did the, uh, the new year's run. 00:28:54.730 --> 00:28:57.109 I was going all around the house. Okay, I need 00:28:57.109 --> 00:28:58.930 to get this. I need to get that. Where'd this 00:28:58.930 --> 00:29:01.490 go? Where'd that go? And then I ended up forgetting 00:29:01.490 --> 00:29:03.650 like the most important thing, the camera mount 00:29:03.650 --> 00:29:06.450 for my new camera. And it was like, I'm just, 00:29:06.630 --> 00:29:09.750 I'm over that. I can't stand the unorganization. 00:29:10.849 --> 00:29:13.549 Yeah. I feel it. Um, the thing that's really 00:29:13.549 --> 00:29:16.289 been helping me with that is the pack out system 00:29:16.289 --> 00:29:18.910 because then I can just make a pack out for whatever 00:29:18.910 --> 00:29:21.009 I need. And when it's time to go, I just grab 00:29:21.009 --> 00:29:25.000 every pack out. Yeah. I, I, Definitely like that 00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:29.099 about the packouts. Um, I think I just, I categorize 00:29:29.099 --> 00:29:36.799 things so, um, specifically, like I have a, like 00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:41.039 a specific place for coffee cups, specific place 00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:45.700 for lighting, specific place for bedding, um, 00:29:45.779 --> 00:29:49.660 charged equipment, like the inflators and water 00:29:49.660 --> 00:29:51.769 pumps and stuff. And I think If I was to try 00:29:51.769 --> 00:29:55.529 it, I could mash it all into one pack out. Um, 00:29:55.990 --> 00:29:58.130 I think that my answer probably would be just 00:29:58.130 --> 00:30:01.750 a large pack out with slots in it to separate 00:30:01.750 --> 00:30:04.490 each one. So that like, you know what I mean? 00:30:04.490 --> 00:30:06.809 Like with the separators in between dividers, 00:30:07.269 --> 00:30:09.730 I think, I think you'd be better off doing the 00:30:09.730 --> 00:30:12.829 smaller packouts. Yeah. For each different type 00:30:12.829 --> 00:30:16.990 of thing. Right. Um, and so, but the packouts 00:30:16.990 --> 00:30:20.140 would be great. It's just like, I'm not set up 00:30:20.140 --> 00:30:22.980 for packouts and I don't necessarily plan to 00:30:22.980 --> 00:30:28.619 be. So having a bunch of those small boxes, it's 00:30:28.619 --> 00:30:31.819 the price of getting into it. That's like, I 00:30:31.819 --> 00:30:33.799 don't know, maybe not worth it right now. I, 00:30:33.940 --> 00:30:36.720 what I'd like to be able to do is to have one 00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:40.039 space in my house that has all my gear that I 00:30:40.039 --> 00:30:43.380 can go to with, you know, a box or something 00:30:43.380 --> 00:30:45.500 and go, okay, I'm going to need two of these. 00:30:45.519 --> 00:30:47.880 I'm gonna need two of these. I need to grab these 00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:50.500 and these. put them in the box, put them in my 00:30:50.500 --> 00:30:53.559 drawer system, and then when I'm done, grab the 00:30:53.559 --> 00:30:55.539 box, take them out, put them back all on the 00:30:55.539 --> 00:31:00.700 chargers inside where it's warm. Um, so I don't 00:31:00.700 --> 00:31:03.720 know, like, cause I do have a shelf right now, 00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:07.140 like a shelf system where I have spare water 00:31:07.140 --> 00:31:10.900 in case you run out of power on the bottom, uh, 00:31:10.940 --> 00:31:14.859 like in the house. Um, and then I have Like the 00:31:14.859 --> 00:31:17.640 coffee stuff. I have the drawers that were in 00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:19.759 the back of my truck I have those and I have 00:31:19.759 --> 00:31:22.480 those full of gear and then I have like my sleeping 00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:26.079 bags hanging up so that they can aerate Then 00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:28.380 I have my pads and stuff. It's all pretty nice 00:31:28.380 --> 00:31:31.019 and organized I just want to get everything better 00:31:31.019 --> 00:31:35.099 because I have gear in the kids room I have my 00:31:35.099 --> 00:31:38.359 whole room if you walk into it is You know what? 00:31:38.740 --> 00:31:42.259 We should stop here and then talk about this 00:31:42.259 --> 00:31:47.019 for half of our hour -long episode. Yeah. We 00:31:47.019 --> 00:31:49.759 are at 30 minutes, so that would be our wrap 00:31:49.759 --> 00:31:53.619 anyway. So stay tuned for next week. Yeah. Next 00:31:53.619 --> 00:31:55.559 week.
