2016-07-30
today our homes and neighborhoods are beautiful but what's not beautiful is what happens to the rain that falls on our homes the roof catches the rain the gutter collects it but the downspout lets it during away our current options for discarding rainwater are pretty unattractive for example the splash block a colored piece of plastic that looks oddly out of place among an otherwise beautiful exterior or how about the downspout extension these often extend right into the lawn or look like industrial tubing that doesn't belong next to our homes we didn't like any of these so we designed something new something that looks better actually uses rainwater but isn't a pain to set up and use we call it down sprout down sprout is a self watering planter that sits directly under your downspout it collects and uses rainwater then discards excess away from the house while adding Beauty to the outside of your home self-watering planters have three main parts a reservoir for water a planter filled with soil and wicks that soak up the water from the reservoir into the soil this ensures that the soil always has the right amount of moisture even for an extended period of time which means less work down sprout works the same way but uses your rainwater to fill the reservoir when the reservoir is completely filled excess rainwater flows out and is directed away from the house installation is simple just remove the elbow of your downspout and place the reservoir underneath to catch the rainwater then place the planter on top of the reservoir so the downspout fits in the group finally add your soil and plants we designed down sprout to work in line with extensions simply take away the removable splash block and connect your extension directly to the reservoir if your extension goes directly underground just rotate the reservoir so the outlet faces the back a shield over the outlet to flex water from the downspout into the reservoir while still allowing it to drain lymphoma down sprout will be made from a durable plastic and will be available in several colors to match the exterior of any home we don't think products that help the environment and products that

and our environment cleaner i'm gerry cranning the CEO and founder of us eight venture gear i'm here today to talk to you about the grand teton water on wheels product that i created this product was an answer to a problem that I had when I was camping in my RV my RV had a 30 gallon water tank and what would happen after about three days is it would run out of water as you know if you're in a national park or national forest campground or if you're out in the wilderness dry camping filling your water tank can be a real challenge just because of the fact that there's no available water connect to like an RV park of course if you're an RV park you connect directly to the water but if you're somewhere else you got to go to a spigot and you have to fill up a five or a seven gallon water container and that water container can wave from 40 to 60 pounds depending so you got to lift it into the back of the pickup and you got to take it to wherever your RV is part and then you got to go back and you have to do it multiple times so you got to do it four or five six times just to fill up your tank and it's really difficult because the water is so heavy and lifting it in and out of the truck and and even filling it up and picking it up as a very difficult task I searched high and low for a solution to the Container problem everywhere I looked I could find containers but none with large wheels and the telescoping handle so I came up with the Grand Teton water on wheels but it has a six inch wheels it has a telescoping handle and it has two double handles for lifting and pulling in and out of trucks makes it very very easy to move water you can roll it you can lift it with both hands you can pull it out of the truck you can lift it up and you can extend the telescoping handle to roll it anywhere you want the Grand Teton water on wheels in combination with the 12-volt portable water pump makes filling your RV oh snap you hi there my name is jay who and i am a la base youtuber and blogger i have been logging for six months and in that time I have come to realize that you need three main tools you need a good camera you need a good microphone and you need a good tripod there are tons of good cameras out there sony canon panasonic they all make good cameras road create some of the best camera top right so the only problem is the tripod like everyone else I used a octopus looking tripod that everyone else is buying for a hundred bucks sadly those tripods just don't work for people like us that are using either full-size DSLR systems or even the smaller mirrorless cameras like the one I'm using him they just don't have the holding power needed for these kind of systems so that's why I made my own using aluminum for strain and durability I design a tripod that would do the two main things that is of love your need one is to be able to use it as a tabletop tripod for to shoot sort of like this stuff and as a handle for those times that I hold the camera in front of me to shoot in selfie mode or even to shoot my surroundings also from time to time I do need to mount the camera in high places like in a hand railing or a tree branch one day watching my favorite bloggers on youtube I realized that he was having the same problem his camera kept falling and it was due to the tripod not being able to hold the weight of his camera so I decided to go into my garage and make a second tripod and sell it him I made a whole Lydia about it and let them know that it was coming a couple of weeks later he got it and he opened it up on camera and he linked back to my video as a result of that my video is about to hit half a million views and there are currently thousands of several thousand people asking me how to get their hands on the crack you you you
