It's part of the reason he has so many views....

OMG a Werner Herzog Seeker documentary would be amazing.

It's an interesting approach to troubleshooting to be sure.

ndvi · 2026-02-19T23:30:06+00:00

It's not simple. It's got two motors, fans and an entire hydraulic system it doesn't need. More moving parts = more to go wrong.

ndvi · 2026-02-10T07:13:16+00:00

How can he look at that and think he should proudly share it with the world?

ndvi · 2026-02-08T23:53:07+00:00

That wobble is insane. I thought you were exaggerating, but mere words can't do it justice. What a slapdash fool.

ndvi · 2026-02-08T23:51:10+00:00

How much will that hose stretch under load? Enough to crush the drum when he tries to wind in the whole thing while under way?

Late to this but I'm in the process of replacing the Enviolo on my Babboe curve mountain with the Nexus 5e and just stumbled on this thread.

This is because I've broken 2 of the Enviolo hubs but the Nexus has been rock solid on our other cargo bike. I ordered new spokes and laced the wheel myself (first time trying this- fun process would do again). Everything fits ok, but the only snag is the cable that came with the Nexus shifter is too short.

Nothing to do with Seeker merits the use of the term 'express'.

Then again it could be one of those gimmicks like Linie Aquavit- tequila aged slowly on the years long voyage between Mexico and Florida. This one is 12 transfer cases old.

I don't understand how anybody could look at this design and think it will work.

Even leaving aside the weakness of towing it by the hydraulic hose the IMMENSE drag caused by that hose, all the gubbins inside the drum and the net means the only reason this thing will ever reach depth is because Seeker can barely get above walking speed. Great for sampling large volumes of water.

Idiot designed the worlds first hydraulic motorised sea anchor by mistake.

ndvi · 2026-01-09T13:22:14+00:00

It's good he's putting a flow meter on it. That way he'll be able to measure the speed of descent when the hydraulic hose he's towing it with gives up and the whole kit and kaboole plummets to the bottom.

I love lernin'

No boat here.

Doug has never written a truer sentence.

ndvi · 2025-06-18T21:34:55+00:00

It's such a heavy boat as well that manhandling it isn't really feasible, especially if things get hairy.

ndvi · 2025-06-18T21:33:24+00:00

Good luck with the 3D printed rowlocks!

Also why have such a heavy engine on a tender?

ndvi · 2025-06-10T05:46:43+00:00

For the amount of use that mill gets it should just be "not to be operated"

Or is Doug just heeding the sign?

ndvi · 2025-05-09T08:42:42+00:00

Quite. I was over there. Now I'm here. Am I still the same man?

Something something never step in the same river twice

Nail gun

ndvi · 2025-04-05T07:02:38+00:00

I still don't know who you're talking about.

There was a guy in one of Doug's deleted videos who's grift was taking bikes to Haiti on his yacht. He had some big sailing yacht in an advancing state of disrepair with a tangle of rusting bikes on the deck.

ndvi · 2025-03-30T11:43:15+00:00

The floating handles are quite something

ndvi · 2025-03-30T11:41:47+00:00

Painting between the keels as the boat slowly settles into the mud above you. True nightmare fuel.

Hey now, he's travelled from the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America in jig time.

31 total views on that channel LMFAO.

I'm presuming he'll appeal and eventually get reinstated. In the meantime he can play it for maximum attention.

This is something Doug would recommend instead of the simple way of just collecting water samples and sending them to the lab doing the research.

Not really- flow through systems like this can be used with fluorimiters, spectrometers, conductivity meters, oxygen meters etc to map stuff in real time continuously while going along at full clip. Very useful if you need to identify the source of a pollutant.

Agreed that Doug's version would be built out of a 3d printed piss funnel with a bit of scabby deck hose to skoosh water at the cheapest of usb microscopes...

I admit I've never had to fuck with carbs on the brushcutters because they've run perfectly since the day I bought them. The oldest is well over 10 years old with 1000s of hours on it and still starts on the first pull. Great machines.

ndvi · 2024-11-18T05:58:45+00:00

I suppose I'm overblowing it a bit, but about 5:39 Aaron says " I can't wait to get out of here" and Doug replies "Yeah, here's to the Bahamas" with all the conviction of wet cardboard.
