Glad to see you back in action and sharing your knowledge!

I really like that DIY pouch. As always, great tips. Thank you

Hey Dale (stupid autocorrect to Dave), great videos as always. I got another one for this series: continuous geared hinges. These are being increasingly installed in commercial and educational institutions (esp educational as they don't pinch little fingers). Some are aluminum which can probably be cut relatively easy but they also come in stainless steel. I would love to see a FE attempt on a commercial grade steel door, in a steel frame, with a steel continuous geared hinge. You throw a multi-point mortise lock on there to make the lock side a PITA to justify the hinge attempt. I would love to see what happens when you attack with traditional irons, with K12, and with wedge both manual and hydraulic. Currently there are ZERO examples of this on youtube as best as I can find. I think that any irons attempt is just going to jam the gear and make it even harder to open, but I think an outswing door could probably be cut with a K12. I'm not sure what you would do on inswing for like a panic room type of thing, I would assume you'd need hydraulics. But maybe a manual wedge is all you need to pop the gear side out? I honestly have no idea since I haven't found any examples like I said. I want to see how they hold up because I'm seeing these things all over the place lately. Anyway that's my video idea. Thanks for all your hard work Mike EMT California

You know this is far easier than packing your helmet with Chucks always falling out But away one force of habit (Thank you)

I love your videos captain. Sorry to ask you this but can I show this videos to the firefighters from Mexico jalisco I’m a firefighter from there but I’m living in California 1 a year I go to Mexico to drop off some equipment and uniform for them our equipment is old and useless and our government sadly does not help us out that much and we really need equipment and training

Absolutely Carlos - Thanks for your comment Brother! - Feel free to share or use any of the videos I post however you like

How easy is it to take these nails out by hand or do you carry a tool to take them out?

[@DALEGPEKEL]

Great question - I never set the nails that deep into the jamb, so I'm able to remove them by hand. Thanks for your comment!.

[@jtr109]

Why not just use a “cherry bomb”? Much fast to set, much easier to retrieve, no damage to the door or hinge.

[@DALEGPEKEL]

Let's be honest, there's A LOT of options/devices out there for "chocking" doors - Nails however are the smallest and lightest and have other uses besides holding open a door that other devices don't.

@@DALEGPEKEL I've found the downsides to the cherry bomb is it doesn't allow the door to be held all the way open. Not helpful if you are trying to vent in a meat on the stove scenario (which we run ALOT of) or even a structure fire. I prefer a good old fashioned wood wedge 😁 Use the same setup for my career and volly company.
