I bought a PEV (Personal Electric Vehicle) and it ended up being the Longest Range EUC (Electric Unicycle) on the market, the Veteran Sherman. Personal Electric Vehicles are the future of personal mobility and are the perfect way for boaters, RVers and tr...
As a new EUC (Veteran Sherman) rider, I assume I will fall down. Maybe a lot. So I plan to wear a lot of safety gear. How much is enough? Here is what I plan to wear and it is a good thing the cold weather is here because it is a lot.
Safety Gear I re...
They say "it takes a big man to admit his mistakes". Well, I am a very big man in this episode because I admit to so many mistakes. #1 is getting one of the largest and heaviest Electric Unicycles (EUC), the Veteran Sherman, as my first EUC to learn on. ...
This video is just for fun. Due to COVID, we don't get to watch the NFL playoffs in big groups, like we usually do, where we can banter back and forth with our friends about who we think is going to win. So I thought it would be cool to post who I think ...

This is all for fun and comments on who you think will win are e...

We return to Toronto to what we think is the perfect anchorage that allows us to have amazing views of the Toronto Skyline in day and in night. We wonder why no one else seems to be anchoring here. We wondered no more once we realized that our achor was ...

Things I talk about to make a boat more enjoyable to live aboard:

The Bluetti AC200Max makes a gas-powered Generator a thing of the past. It is an all-in-one solution that allows you to capture the power from up to 1400 watts of solar panels and store it in its 2048WH LiFePo4 batteries and letting you use it in either D...
I found the Redodo 12V 100AH LiFePo4 battery to be of good quality and put out in excess of the 100AH rating. It also gives great value for money. Check the links below for the most up-to-date pricing but at the time of this filming this 100AH battery wa...

If you want to expand the capacity of your AC200MAX or AC200Pto 4100WH or 6300WH the best way is to add 1 or 2 B230 expansion batteries. If you add the D0505S DC Enhancer, you can charge the B230 or the AC200Max in multiple solar panels and other ways. W...
