A Drive Around Salton Sea In 2021 - Is Salton Sea Drying Up? See How Much Smaller Salton Sea is Now
I take a drive around Salton Sea, California's largest lake, and show you the water levels at several popular locations as of 2021. I compare the current water levels to where the water was in the 1970's and in 2015 so you can decide if you think Salton Sea is getting smaller. Correction: at 16:21 I made a mistake in my off-the-top-of-my-head mathz kalkulations - the actual difference in water level below the base of "The Target" is 21 feet - net result is the same - that's a big drop.
This video is an update to a video I posted a few months ago about deleting comments from my youtube videos. I explain why I delete comments from my Youtube videos and I talk about why many channel owners and Youtube creators may also delete comments on their videos. I also explain how to tell if your comment was deleted by the Youtube creator or by Youtube itself. Many people may consider this youtube censorship, and maybe it is censorship by either Youtube or the creator, but both the Youtube channel owner / Youtube creator have a right to censor or moderate comments on their channel or the Youtube platform. Some people have also proclaimed that it is illegal for Youtube to delete comments or that it violates the United States Constitution to censor comments left on Youtube videos, so I also talk about that accusation.

In this episode of "Shorter is Better" I explain why there are no multiple-service HAM / GMRS / MURS radios. I also talk about how we can take-back the Youtube comments section from the trolls and idiots and how we can Make Youtube Great Again! #MYGA!

I go over what the FCC does with all of the money it collects from GMRS and ham radio licensing fees, and how much of that money goes into enforcement of ham and GMRS FCC rules.

In this video I ruthlessly tear-open a Baofeng UV-5R ham radio just to see what it looks like on the inside. I dont bother trying to put it back together - this was a one-way disassembly.

In this video I demonstrate the correct way to properly use a hand-held walkie talkie radio, AKA an HT. This applies to a ham radio such as the Baofeng UV-5R and all hand held ham radio HTs, GMRS radios, and even hand-held CB radio walkie talkies.
Whether you have a ham radio license, a GMRS radio license, are if you are using a licence-free radio such as a CB radio or FRS walkietalkie, it is important to know the correct way to hold the radio and talk & transmit so that your signal can reach as many farz as possible.

Today I put a Baofeng UV-5R to the test to see how much abuse it can handle. I drop the UV5R in water, I freeze it, I drop it on concrete (bricks, actually) and for good measure I run the Baofeng over with my Jeep.
See how the Wouxun KG-935G did in comparison, here: https://youtu.be/yrLB7augoQU

A Jeep CJ Scrambler and two Jeep Cherokees going up Chocolate Thunder at The Hammers in Johnson Valley.
Jeff of the "Crazy Guy Jeep Club" is driving his green "Hulk", a 1982 Jeep Scrambler with a Chevy 350 engine and 38.5" tires.
"Jedi Tim" is driving the white Jeep Cherokee with the black hood-stripes and a 6" lift.
We didn't catch the name of the guy driving the doorless white Cherokee, but he did tell us that is has an 8" lift - that explains the crazy amount of flex and articulation it has.
All three Jeeps made it 3/4 of the way up the trail. The doorless Cherokee took the exit to the left, near the top and the Scrambler and the other Cherokee took the exit up the hill on the right - none of them attempted the last ledge/waterfall up the middle.
