*DISCLAIMER: DO NOT ATTEMPT.* We ran an extremely popular, commercially-run section of river, had all the required safety gear, met guides on the water, AND consulted with whitewater experts to plan a route we could take at multiple different water levels IN ADVANCE of our attempt.
Safety might not look sexy on camera, but off-camera I take it extremely seriously — if at any point the boat or river became too dangerous to continue, we would have stopped and we were all prepared to hike the 7 miles to the pull-out at the end of the river.
Further explanation and FAQ: Why didn't you plan to take a guide with you? We tried. For a variety of reasons, it didn't work out -- and if we had determined that a guide was necessary for safety, we would not have run this river.
Instead, we handled safety ourselves, as I do for most every video. Here's how: - My brother and I had already run this exact stretch of river several times each prior to this with a guide, and we've also run multiple other rivers. We're not experts, but we're experienced -- and we know this particular river quite well. - We consulted with a number of raft guides and expert whitewater kayakers from outside WV about safety, reading the water, planning and running lines, etc. *When we asked, based on our level of experience, if we could run this river safely in this boat -- they told us YES.* - We mapped out our lines for all water levels and memorized them prior to arriving at the river, AND then gave ourselves a refresher before entering the river. - We brought all of the required safety gear including a throw bag, PFDs, helmets, etc. - We're all confident swimmers in good physical condition. - If anything too serious had happened to the raft, we would have stopped immediately. We were all prepared to take a 7+ mile hike in either direction, and we had enough people to make sure we'd each have a buddy. - When we arrived at the river, we made friends with everyone in sight and let them know what we'd be doing, just so people would at least be aware that we were out there. The guides we met offered to run it with us not because they were concerned for our safety, but because they thought what we were doing was cool and they wanted to see if the boat would last. Their expertise absolutely helped, we all had a great time pulling this off together, and off-camera they even invited us to come out again for Gauley season in the fall.
WHY am I telling you all this? I HATE fake stakes on YouTube, which is why any challenge or stunt I do on this channel is 100% real. However, with that said, I take safety VERY seriously. No matter what you see me doing in a video, know that I am 99.9% confident that I'm WALKING away at the end of the day, with no more than a scratch or bruise at worst. Doing that means managing safety in advance -- but this is YouTube, and nobody wants to hear about all the safety checks we did. That doesn't mean the risks aren't real -- everything I do is still VERY real, and should NOT be attempted -- but it means that I'm taking *known* risks, and that I've made a clear plan to mitigate them.
One last fact to put your mind at ease: Out of the MILLIONS of people who've been down this river since 1980, only about 22 have actually been injured or passed away in an accident. The risk is still very real, and needs to be taken seriously (as we did), but deaths and severe injuries on the new river are quite rare, and many are simply due to people running the river without the required safety gear.

Check out Ross' channel as well: youtube.com/klicker0 Hail's low casualty rate gets it a reputation for being pretty mild, but considering that it does WAY more property damage than tornadoes annually, I'd argue it's actually the bigger threat. Very few people die from hail, and as a result, people treat it casually -- with some even going so far as to run around in hail storms. But, is that really safe? At what point does hail go from "weather anomaly" to "cold-cored killer"? What size hail WILL kill you instantly? I'm gonna find out.

#realitycheck (that's the name of this series)How Many Slaps does it Take to Cook a Chicken?Louis Weisz2020-12-16 | How many slaps does it take to cook a chicken? I built a chicken slapper robot to find out. Man has pondered this question for ages, or at least for the past couple years. Ever since someone asked this question on reddit, numerous youtube channels have sought the answer, including the likes of Unus Annus, MrBro, and the OG chicken slapper Jake Sing. After two years without a satisfying answer, I decided to finish this thing once and for all. Enjoy.

#realitycheckDoes Minecrafts Torch Recipe work IRL?Louis Weisz2020-09-16 | The Minecraft Torch Recipe is possibly the most well-known crafting recipe in the game, but in real life the ingredients just don't seem to add up. Just Coal and a Stick? And it lights without even a flint and steel? It seems completely impossible -- but as it turns out, minecraft might not be as unrealistic as you might expect...

#ihadaquestionDoes Minecrafts Cake Recipe work IRL?Louis Weisz2020-01-31 | Minecraft is a game set in a world that’s pretty similar to earth, and because of this it’s always walked a fine line between realism and abstraction, turning real-world concepts into functional gameplay mechanics. But what about crafting? The numerous crafting recipes in the game are certainly based in reality, but they all have elements of abstraction. We mostly assume these recipes just wouldn’t work in reality, but could they? The only way to know for sure is to try them out, and I decided to start with the cake recipe!
I'm also thinking of testing Redstone IRL (conductive dust circuitry?) and some other crafting recipes, so if you like this one a lot, PLEASE let me know in the comments that you want more vids like it! Otherwise it could be a while before I make another minecraft-related video.

#ihadaquestionWhat does Christmas really smell like?Louis Weisz2019-12-25 | In this special christmas episode of #ihadaquestion I find out whether we can make a scent that replicates that particular scent that lingers around your house during christmastime.

#ihadaquestionHow My Teen-Proof JUUL Could End Teen VapingLouis Weisz2019-12-02 | Can you make a JUUL Teen-Proof? Such a solution would have the potential to solve the teen vaping problem in the US, but at the moment, anybody who can get their hands on a vape can easily use one. With vaping bans proving to be ineffective, and teen usage still on the rise, is there any way to stop teens from even getting interested in the first place? I think I might have just the solution.

NOTE: The blur at 1:25 was added after uploading because the sound doesn't actually play here -- YouTube's compression drops the frequency out completely. If you really want to test your hearing, check out the excellent video by ASAPscience on the subject, because they DID find a way to make the sound play -- still not sure why mine didn't work.

#ihadaquestionIs Paper Armor Really Stronger While Wet?Louis Weisz2019-09-18 | Earlier last month, someone in the Louis Weisz Discord suggested that I try doing Paper Armor. At first it seemed too simple - but when I looked into it further, I realized there was more to this than meets the eye. The biggest boast of all was that "this armour performs better when soaked with rainwater" - but is that even possible? There's only one way to find out!

#ihadaquestionHow Many Layers of Foil will Stop an Arrow?Louis Weisz2019-08-20 | After testing the efficacy of pop tab chainmail, I've been itching to try making more aluminum armor. I had an idea for an aluminum foil shield, but I realized really quickly -- I don't know anything about aluminum foil! So, I decided to figure out just how strong it really is, and what better way to do that than by testing how many layers of foil it takes to stop an arrow?

PS - I did not include a multimeter on the list but I definitely recommend getting one if you're going to be doing any serious electrical work. It's indispensable for troubleshooting. If you're working exclusively with a breadboard for your electronics I might recommend it over the soldering station, but it just depends on your particular use case.I Made a YouTube Buddy FLAMETHROWER for Michael ReevesLouis Weisz2019-04-08 | Wow guys, this is a MIGHTY FINE YouTube Buddy wouldn't ya say?
