Mike, doing my research for buying an e.v. (in Scotland) I watched your excellent explanation on the Tesla battery life. I have now decided to take your advice and buy one. thanks for this advice.

Good video and shows the potential, I think the issues aren't going to be the useful life of the battery but more the point you picked up on premature failure of a component which then means the battery stops working. Manufacturers currently replace the battery rather than repair which is the wrong way round, hopefully here in the UK battery repairers will increase. If it was an ice vehicle it would be like replacement the entire engine because an Injector went which would be crazy!

Bushcraft noob over here would a glass container work equally as well for the UV exposure method of purifying water obviously the glass would be fragile so maybe not as reliable as a plastic but it's got to be cleaner right.

No white gas or Esbit stove. ?

this is so cool!

LFP model 3 here. I got around 50-60kwh up to 90% with genuine Tesla adapter. The Chinese knockoff version is charging fine but it is very lightweight vs genuine adapter. 😅

1500 miles your a legend. Keep the great vids coming!

You could get more range if you continue riding low and steady speed, and it depends on the gears and VESC setups. If your VESC is heating over 50 c (120 F+), then efficiency is loss. Because heat creates resistance, and sometime half of those current from your battery pack is gone with the heat. I did from Chiang Mai to Pai in Thailand during the tropical season (late monsoons). The distance is about 90 miles. The way I conserved the battery is to go slow and steady speed to avoid overheat the VESC. It took me 2 recharges to get over mountain passes with my 85L backpack.

metal pegs would defeat the difficulty

What area of the world are you stealth camping at? Keep up the great content

Nice adventure man, looks like fun. Not an ideal tarp setup of course, I'd always choose something with a ridgeline for tautness and correct angles, while keep air flowing through. Plenty of tarp demo's on YT if you want to explore how inventive they can get. Keep it up!

Hell yeah Mike great vid!! Cheers from Jesse in Carnarvon!

Great camp my friend - you may want to try the FlexTail Mosquito repellent lantern, requires no fuel - just a rechargeable battery. I have used it since last year and does it ever make a huge difference. Also, regarding the tarp - try and position the edge so it does not point up, that's how the water was rolling back underneath and getting you wet.

I LOVED that. Watching you experience it was great. Everytime we get a summer storm i always say to Ryan, I wish I was in my tent right now. He's probably annoyed. I love camping in a storm. Hiking in it, setting up and taking down? No thanks. It's so cool. And you chose wisely in the trees

Awesome ideas . I appreciate you explaining the differences and potential risk.

All stainless steel is NOT equal. Some is very resistant to corrosion. Corrosion is when metal gets oxidized. The definition of corrosion is “metal, returning to its natural state.” IE: we cannot stop corrosion. We can only slow its pace. Only one metal does not corrode, gold. It remains in its pure state. That’s one of the reasons it is so highly valued. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

How about if I'm stuck in the wild and don't have baggies or pop bottles ??? What if it's just me and nature ??

What do you think about those cells after 4 months, are they holding well? Im thinking to use them in ebike mainly because fire risk of traditional lithium cells.

Good video! A lot more people should watch this! 😎

PLA isn't really all that biodegradeable, more than others, but it will still take a very long time to degrade in warm climate and far longer in cold climate, and don't forget about the additives in PLA plus/meta/whatever "improved" versions

Defo gotta do the bike first. I'd quite like to see some e-scooter stuff too, just for adventure lulz.

Based on how bad the Cybertruck actually appears to be in real life, you might want to look at an alternative. Around here, the Rivian truck and SUV are very popular and the new versions look pretty awesome. Plus, Musk is a fascist lunatic so.... yeah.

a comment and like to help your channel. I enjoy the electric adventures you come up with.

The biggest problem with 3-wheelers is that the middle wheel always runs on snow + ice, even when other vehicles have cleared the 2 lanes of their axles. Then you can have significantly less propulsion

this area is crown land, right?

How many times can you use the bottle method with the charcoal and everything else? Or should all that be replaced on a regular basis.

Good video Mike, Do you do tool reviews? We'd like to invite you to do a review for our portable air pump. We have reached out

Thank you for explaining all of your thoughts on everything

TPU is expensive, but extremely tough. I use it many projects.

2:13 LOL German Tesla Supply Shops have smaller Cup Holders as Inserts so our Bottles, Cans or so Fit because the default one are to big.

This is sweet. I’m planning on doing a SD to Vegas trip next year. I’m in the process of building a trailer with a battery so I get 60+ miles on range. I have 2 solar panels on top wired in so it charges as I ride which is great for the long desert stint I will have going to vegas. Great vid! I love esk8 trips

why not a ebike setup? This setup looks crazy lol An ebike is more reliable and can hold your stuff easy.

I didn't expect so many electronics ! But I understand that to wait 3 hours is a lot of spare time. The problem is the battery for long trips. I have a 12s5p and it takes 5 to 6 hours to recharge for less than 50 km. If i get in the future a 10amp charger it will be better but the charger will be big heavy and noisy. I've searched for high end chargers with no success. The only solution for my point of view is to get a big battery and to charge over-night all night.

Hello fellow Canadian/software developer/backpacking enthusiast/gamer/e-skater. Just wondering, have you ever thought about solar panels to be able to charge a battery while riding? Also, where did you get the extra batteries (what company/site), and what brand are they? I am looking into rebuilding/replacing mine, as it has been damaged due to water.

Both backpack and electric mountainboards are boss setups for full day excursion. Kudos!
