What happens here

This video details an extreme durability testing project on a SureCan gasoline can. Various tests are conducted, including dropping the full can from a house roof, dropping it from a pickup truck, jumping on it, dropping it from a Bobcat loader bucket, and finally driving over it with a skid loader. The project aims to showcase the robust construction of the SureCan and the limits it can withstand before failure.

oh you hit my roof you hit my rear we go that's full all right I've got a problem and I'm gonna need your guys's help on this next one I want to show you guys something you see this deck build I'm doing behind me this project is for a youtube video and this deck built us a week to demolish and it's going to take us two weeks to put together so I've got three weeks into the deck build project and then every single one of my videos that I put out takes me about four to five days to edit to create the story than to get on YouTube create a thumbnail to tag it title it and upload it so if we're gonna be talking about a project that I do for one of my videos every single video takes me at least five to six weeks from the start of the project to the time I can release the video so this deck that you see behind me this video is for you guys but you won't see this video for another three or four weeks at least before I can get this out now the quality of my videos I hope you guys notice goes up and up and up but the quantity of my videos goes down and down and down now in YouTube's eyes they don't care how good my videos are you guys do but you YouTube's computer doesn't so YouTube has actually now been looking at me very favorably because I'm just not producing as much content as I used to and so to offset that I need to do something that's a little simpler every now and then and this is where I need your help a couple of the concepts that I want to shoot past you guys and I want you to tell me what you think of it I get sent all these products and these guys send me products and they want me to put it on their chant on my channel and sometimes these guys will send me a product and let's say oh we want you to unbox it like they think you guys are 12 years old or something maybe a couple of yarra but we want you to shoot a video of your unboxing it and then we want to shoot a video of you where you're doing this with it or you're doing that with then they try to tell me what I can and can't do with their product and when I get back to them and I tell them to go packs and or I tell them you know go ahead and send me your product but I'm gonna say what I want how I want when I want it's weird but a lot of them don't send me the product the thing is some of them still do and the ones that do send me the product are the ones that believe in their product they obviously must have a better product or they wouldn't be willing to give it to me without any conditions whatsoever and I thought what if I took in something somebody sends me and I review it and then I show it on a day to day basis and then I take it further and further and further until we show the extreme limits that something can do I want to know from you guys would you be interested in seeing that today we're going to do that but while I'm doing that sometimes I may share what's happening in the world around me I don't know if that's of any interest to any of you guys Elliot would that be of interest to you yeah actually all right so it's actually gonna help me today and we're gonna do our very first experiment and it's up to you guys awfully I want to know from you guys what do we want to name this because I'm not gonna be editing these I'm not gonna be adding fancy seeing changes into them it's just going to be me talking doing something else I was thinking of calling this kind of like mini segment dirt monkey demolition I like it the only thing is is there's demolition ranch and that dudes kind of like awesome he is pretty awesome and I don't think um I don't think I can compete with that guy and I don't want to steal anything from him and I don't want people to think I'm copying him that's the problem well give us your advice I mean do you think it's a copy well okay what do you guys think otherwise I was thinking how tough is stuff or I don't know what you guys in the comments down below but here's something I want to make sure one of the themes that I have and every single one of my videos is giving back to you guys I don't produce a video I hate producing a video where I'm like bragging about oh look a hug look at my house we got a great my houses I hate that I flippin hate I hate that that level of egotism I do you think yeah I do hate that and so when I produce a video I try to give back to you guys and I'm like how can I make a simpler video giving back to you guys so today we're gonna be testing this sure can because I actually love these things these are phenomenal fuel cans but I reached out to sure can and I said hey would you be willing to give some of these away to some of the people that comment in my video down below and sure can't said yeah so when you guys are done watching the video comment down below I don't care if you comment your mama is fat I don't care it's good better her in between I don't care as soon as you comment sure can is my mama's not fat she's actually pretty skinny okay she died like 10 years ago so she's like really skinny maybe even longer than that so we're gonna be testing this out comment below sure can I have nothing to do with this portion of it they're going to randomly pick three people out of the comments and just send you one of these it sound good to you perfect Elliot's gonna be doing the testing and I'm gonna switch arms my old 46 year old arm gets tired holding that camera alright Ali first test we're gonna do we filled it up this has got high octane airplane fuel in it so if anything spills on the ground it's going to definitely just seep right into the water table and it actually has water in it it doesn't you guys hold on alright sorry about that guys that was the Volvo dealer I'm gonna be testing out they got a new wheeled excavator I'm gonna be bringing it out to one of my job sites and putting it through its paces I'm gonna actually bring it here first get used to it before I actually bring it out to a job site because I'm an old and I grew up on Ford controls and everybody runs cat control so I got to switch the controls around and I've never ran a wheeled excavator before it's an excavator with wheels so it's gonna be kind of interesting to see but sure can first thing we're gonna do is a real-world test all we're gonna do is you got it filled up alright I go back it's filled with water not high-octane airplane fuel so if you believe that I got some oceanfront property in Arizona for you to just not get over so let's let's take it a little higher let's go off the back of your pickup truck and drop it off now let's plumb and fall that's not gonna be easy on it well I'm not gonna make excuses I I mean if it works it works if it doesn't it doesn't give it a go now these guys told me they'd fill these up freeze them and drop them off 16 feet to see if they crack and break now I'm not gonna go through all that today go ahead let's well I mean it's not cracking yet jump up and down on it okay so let's see if it works that wasn't much of a kick out here okay all right let's go all right throw it off this time let's get up once you hop up there and give it a good old heave-ho like like don't so that would be kind of similar if it fell off the back of a truck maybe yeah when you're driving down the road yeah yeah yeah yeah all right I'm gonna guess it's probably fine okay so it's still fine one thing that has happened somewhere through all this is the little tab here that you're supposed to push yeah it's gone what do you think next step would be we got to go higher higher better skid loader you want me to lift it up to you okay I'll take that as a no garbage trucks alleys interfering what if we'd let us go on the top of the garbage truck and robot that would be pretty cool now be cool if it broke right [Laughter] [Music] get into the bucket he's not going on the ground he's going in the bucket well hello look at your little dent alright we got it done but dents never slowed me down alright but will when you go to try to fill that out well we can test that tough all right let's see if we can and I still open it well not super easily maybe you can hammer it out here we go let's see it now let's do we crack anything though I don't think so let's look at the cap it was the thing I'm hit most on I don't see any cracks pretty marred but here's the thing with these things this is like an H a double-walled reminds me a lot of a double wall like HDPE pipe just it's got it's just it's like twice I think it's like twice as thick these cans is a regular one I guess they're pretty expensive too if not more than twice and actually I was looking they're actually not that much more expensive than just like your normal gas cans that you sell today really yeah they're just marginal somebody said they were like 75 bucks each I don't know where they were looking I wasn't looking where I was looking all right we go higher we can go higher all right let's go higher let's go up there yeah throw it off there all right do we do we do we like it's worth Stan did you use your full words come on come on you can do it you think so here's something else that I want to talk to you about while he's setting that up analysis paralysis yeah you guys come to me with your questions and one of the things that I know a lot of guys suffer from the should I do it shouldn't I do it this video is a great example that work oh we should do it sure well I'm talking about this video um it's up you know I mean I've already I'm deviating from my format so much that I don't know if this is gonna work or not but the only way to know if you guys should start your businesses or if you guys should do whatever it is you want to do is to give it a try and to see what sticks and what doesn't if it doesn't work then you switch the formula and you try again and you try again but if you get stuck in the analysis paralysis part of life you're never gonna get anywhere you can overthink and overthink and I see guys that do this on job biz and do it on projects they're always think holy crap you are up their ways aren't you over and over and over again well sometimes you just got to do it what are you gonna do well we could slide where we can chuck it chuck it I think chunking it would be better don't don't Chuck yourself off the well that seems like it's somewhat deep an idea oh you hit my roof you hit my rail sometimes you gotta sacrifice things I wanna sacrifice my rough alright let's see how this looks holy crap looks fine that doesn't I let's let's uh let's drop it like straight off the end I think that's the tallest point the crap this is not light alright man I'll be right I'll bring it up to you better we could drop it off the other side yeah other side's a harder surface all right we'll drop it up the other side the top the very pink is the tallest part yeah we wrap it on the driver yeah so let's get straight you guys aren't gonna do this and these videos are to slowly show what these things what some of these things are capable of doing you're not gonna do this I know this if you want to comment down below if you want to say oh these tests are so unrealistic derp no I also want to get this on Instagram that's full I don't think the thing is not fazed that's it's not a small drop either alright give it a go see if it works Elliott oh we have to fix the handle again for those just tuning in on Instagram we're doing a full YouTube video on works fine shut the handle off let's see if it all right you know what you see that spot right there the spout that may be a weak point let's try to gonna be this the handle okay genetics okay let's flip it on its side and let's drive right over the top of it with the skid loader don't put a fork don't put a fork in it just I don't want it forked we're gonna drive over that's full of gasoline I meant water try to drive over and hop here we go go that was that that was that was so I broke the camel's back don't think it can take the weight of skid loader driving over the top of it alright let's see how bad how bad that is it's it's pretty bad however it looks like you might be able to unscrew this and get a replacement that's what I was thinking I was thinking man if you really wanted to you could I mean like alright so let's say worst case scenario you could plug the hole and still use it as a fuel can because it's not punctured it didn't rupture the can itself or you could get a noose I wonder if you could just use the existence it's like repairable okay so here's the end so I wonder if you could put that big washer right oh no that's a salt is that a solid piece no it's not so that'll come out so stick it back together stick that right just it's got a neck down on it oh no isn't it threaded okay but so I think that concludes our shirk and destruction video I mean I'll tell you straight up Frankie would fix that yeah you would he would fix that hey Frankie he I seen him fix stuff thick I would have thrown away like a year before I bet he could fix that Franky can fix anything no axe well yes it did but it was still functional in fact it's still functional now so this is the first thing that actually will make it native so you couldn't continue to use it who's laughing was with the skid loader yeah the skid was skiddy aslope broke it skid loaders what huh we work in a log because you had to have one of those log houses and then you guys tell me about it what do you think of a concept video like this I'm not gonna edit it I may add words of wisdom in there cuz I just can't help it today it was about analysis paralysis I think I talked about briefly and the ability to just go out and do it just try it and see what the results are that's what I'm trying to do with this video just give it a go and want to hear from me what should I name and how tough is stuff I'd Emily it was the other monkey demolition her monkey demolition your suggestions down below comment and sure can is going to pick three people out I have nothing to do with this part of it so don't tell me about it if you didn't win or there's rules or something something something I don't care don't want to know sure cans doing it so thanks goes out to sure can for agreeing to do this begin like my first guinea pig I think I think I got some I think I may have to do something with maybe Rhino lining next I'd liked it what I'd like to do is if I could get Ryan allowing me to do it and then I test it out and then give away see if they would do it where they give away one Rhino lining to once random person like the back of their truck I'd be pretty cool whenever cool that's sweet I want to give back to you guys that's the whole point in the videos the information knowledge I'm trying to share and if these manufacturers are willing to send me to test out what I'm trying to do is get them to send it to you guys - not everybody you look off but every now and then so let me know in the comments down below god bless go get them next video probably be a little bit more structured and may have some editing in it
