The Chauvet Hurricane 1200. A bit expensive but they put off some impressive fog & I have a couple that are over 5 years old.

Yes we do!

I used about 1.5 quarts.

Yup, it needs to be thick, this is an off road jeep not a mall crawler, close encounters with rocks & trees is a frequent occurrence & I wanted it to be durable.

Agreed.

Good questions! The ideal amount of cribbing to be carried is entirely dependent on a few factors such as what type of apparatus are you using it on, how much space to you have to store it, what other stabilization tools do you have & what the operational needs are. Offhand I would say that a typical class A engine should probably have 2 stepchocks 2 wedges & at least a dozen pieces of 4x4 cribbing but that’s just an umbrella statement, it’s all pretty much depending upon your needs & storage. Obviously a rescue or heavy rescue would be carrying far more than that. In fact, I have asked that question to most of the heavy rescue guys I have trained with & their answer is “never enough” ha ha ha. As far as specific lengths go I probably would not go shorter than 16” & not longer than 24”. Whatever length you cut though make sure it’s cut to a multiple of 4 (16” 20” 24”) so you can stack the same amount of crib on top of each other without big gaps or overlap. Ours are cut to 24” long which is pretty standard to most of the other agencies surrounding us so we can use each others cribbing on complex scenes needing more crib but also, 24” is how deep our compartments are so that worked out perfectly for us.

Thanks, will do!

I used 2-3-4mm magnets depending on the size of the walls or terrain & Hillmans 10-24 zinc plated nuts.

You are most welcome! Glad that worked out for you, just one thing, make sure you’re wearing good work gloves when you use your tools, that tape will tear your hands up in no time flat!

You are very welcome! Good luck!!

Ha ha ha very good. Hasbro Black series Star Wars helmets. Don’t know if they’re in production anymore, you can go to their website & check or maybe eBay.

Glad you think so!

Glad you like them!

My pleasure!!

& thank you for the feedback! I’m not sure of the exact brand of misters but I got them off of Amazon, they have several different ones but they all have similar features.

Except gallon jugs won’t fit in this particular set up but I do use some frozen canteens & water bottles.

Your builds are awesome. Thanks for sharing with us.

@@trooper1348you could use water bottles.

@@grimwulf7173 I do appreciate the notion unfortunately It would take a large number (probably 30 or 40) of frozen water bottles to accomplish this & I don’t have the room in my freezer to accomplish this or even a fraction of that number. I am however looking at using several large misters inside to cool the fog as it exits. Thanks for the comment & happy haunting!

@@trooper1348 yea I love the new mister idea but those are expensive. Btw I love your coffin chiller.

Pretty dang good! I’m actually going to do a follow up video in a few weeks. As I mentioned the Herculiner fades into a dark dingy grey after about a year but a little bit of black satin spray paint made it look brand new again!

It chills the fog so it hugs the ground, you can watch my Widefield Hallows Halloween video to see the effect.

Cheap is a relative term. All in it cost me less than $60 to put it together. That’s pretty cheap. The mister was only $20.

Thank you!

Indeed! Though there is a fine line between liquid assisted inspiration & “I can’t read the tape measure anymore” 😂

Your welcome! Glad I could help!!

@@trooper1348 Quick question if you don't mind - is there any downside of just running the fog machine straight into the chiller (no ducting inside the chiller) right to the exhaust port? That's how I have my chiller setup right now (with a booster fan at the exhaust as well)

So for my coffin chillers I tried removing the ducting once & it it didn’t work very well. About half of the fog just ended up staying inside the coffin & what did come out didn’t seem to be as cold.

Probably.

Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback!

Great suggestion I think I can oblige you.

Yup.

That is a little unit I bought off of Amazon. Basically it’s 3 red LEDs & a fan at the bottom which blows on to a bunch of red nylon ribbons for the flame effect. Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you for the feedback!

Thanks for the feedback!

Glad I could help! Happy building & I hope you have a great Halloween!

The cauldron is about 16” wide & 10” deep. I got the cauldron, fog mister & fake fire off of Amazon.

​@@trooper1348​ Thanks so much! I've been on the lookout for a cauldron like that, but my local Walmarts only had mini ones, so the dimensions are a huge help.

Projected from the front, that way the light coming from the projector wouldn’t be visible. The projector sits inside a styrofoam housing made to look like a headstone about 10’ in front of the screen.

@@trooper1348 Hey thanks. This was a great video. This will be my first go so trying to find out best positions.

@@jamiemaslar658 Th ask for the feedback. Yeah it took me several nights of playing around with different positions & distances to get the right effect. Glad you enjoyed the video hope it helped & good luck!

Agree on all counts, I don’t know why they don’t do away with shingles & just coat roofs with this stuff….

Like I said in the video, Renfrew friction hockey tape is the best I have used so far & what I recommend, yeah most hardware stores don’t carry hockey tape, you will have to find it at a sporting goods store that has hockey equipment. I bought mine on line from a hockey supply store though I don’t remember which one.

Glad I could help & May all your rolls be 20’s!

Very Accurate observation & great tip!

I wouldn’t apply this in direct midday sun but if you put it on early in the morning or the evening I think it would be fine. I did the same thing to the hood of my old ‘93 F250. The hood was all beat up from hail & rusty, did a couple of coats, spray painted it white to match the rest of the truck & it looked great! Good luck!!!
