pipe bomb we'll also be using a hand grenade
and the deck cord is going to travel over to here and what it's going to do
it's wrapped around the tnt charge we're going to get two charges with one cap
this part two of our explosions extravaganza is made possible by our friends over at TASER this
taser pulse is the same thing that law enforcement uses it has a 15 foot range a light and a laser
and you can incapacitate a bad guy for up to 30 seconds i was able to take one of the very first
training courses offered by taser when they released these on the market and i gotta say
i was just downright impressed with the technology behind it it's got reloadable cartridges and all
that good stuff check it out down below have some less lethal options in your tactical toolbox
now let's blow some stuff up with ordnance lab this is the one we hit with the frag earlier
yeah what we did is we used a frag to break up the ground a little bit this ground is just so
hard that it's difficult to dig down underneath it i spent a good deal of effort my my back still
feels by digging this stuff out with a pick and shovel and so what we're going to do is
we're going to use ready prime what it is it's from austin powder and it's kind of a dynamite
equivalent it's an emulsion-based explosive punch a hole in it here show you what it does so it's a
kind of a putty thing if you can see that in there and so what we're going to do is we're going to
stick the blasting cap in that hole i just made for ah without dropping it of course while we're
filming i don't look cool on the internet oh come on so how comparative is this to c4
this right here is a lower detonation velocity but it's much uh less expensive i can't remember the
detonation velocity on this but it's pretty much equivalent to dynamite and it has much more of
a push and effect than a shattering effect we'll see with the tnt uh well i don't if we can see the
results we're not really in the situation where it's gonna show there's gonna be a huge difference
in performance but um this right here is better for like earth moving and for what we're using
it for this is the perfect thing to use another one would be like anfo or whatever which is the
um similar to ammonol we're using that ammonium nitrate and just a slower velocity of detonation
so we'll put this in here and we'll pack some other explosives around it yeah that looks like
a pile of fun what happens that right there is point four two pounds so they're a little bit less
than half a pound a piece we'll pack some stuff around in there and the goal with it is going
to be pushing it out here and hopefully getting underneath it and knocking the tree out that way
literally knocking the tree out that way another one right here i want the duck cord for just
in case we need to link them together but these right here they'll be close enough together that
um one detonation will set them off and then we're going to cover it up with dirt to pack
it in there and get more of an effect because it'll take the path of least resistance right
you don't pack the dirt in there then most of your force is going to go out cool so that right there
is six charges so that's give us a little bit under uh three pounds actually let's do seven
that'll make all the difference the mark one boot here to tamp it down now we're gonna
want to pull back further just because this is right here is going to send rocks and stuff up
okay luckily we're like it's mostly dust but still like fly rock is a concern fire though
he got stuff everywhere
that's a great crater that's crazy so it worked you can see some of the charring from the blast
with the pipe bomb yeah that really blew it out that was um only three pounds of
of it blew the uh the tree all the way up there like that's pretty impressive and sometimes
i i impressed myself with how powerful this stuff can be when properly applied
and yeah we got up underneath it so it blasted it out all these roots right here are toast like
this tree is dunzo so we'll um come back later on with the tractor and pull all this stuff out
and burn it but we've definitely eliminated some trees and now it's time to move on to
some bigger charges awesome so we have right here is a tnt charge this is actually a seismic charge
we picked them up when they were expired from a lot of the
seismic companies and whatnot they can only use it for the until the expiration date but it's tnt
like it never goes bad you could let this thing sit forever so we're able to pick these up at a
discount sometimes from manufacturers and which is pretty cool you can actually screw them all
together make a really long one if you want to do it like stick it down in the ground but we're
going to be using this right here for i guess an off label application you could call it we're
just going to be using to get this tree out this right here is one kilogram for as jake would say
but for americans it's 2.2 pounds of tnt and is a very uh powerful charge and the noise is going to
be different like the ready prime and that went off that one really wasn't that loud it didn't
have like a thump but the tnt you may be able to feel it it's got a higher detonation velocity and
so it performs differently and it's louder so we're going to want to make sure we bury it
pretty good so we don't disturb the neighbors but we'll take our blasting cap right here stick it
down here in the well and tape it off then we'll put this down in there cover it up with dirt
and see how this does for getting that tree out of there but it's going to be it has less explosives
than we had for the ready prime but it's going to be a little bit more powerful than the ready prime
so we'll see if it actually kicks the door out or i'm sorry kicks the tree out on its own
that's a good size tree too yeah this will be fun yeah this will be interesting to see what happens
and again a lot of the stuff with the trees is that it's not a science
necessarily because like you've got different types of soil different types of way that it's
built in there and a lot of times you just kind of got to estimate what you're going to use for
getting it out so we'll put it in here fill it in tamp it down and tap it down and rig it up after
we camp it down and set it off sweet we had great success with the ready prime now we're on tnt
charging send that tree into the pond firing gotta get my camera
i did feel a thump that time yeah that was cool you got that whole smoke
nice yeah tnt is good stuff did y'all see anything fall i was too much in the sky oh we'll see
so
we have destruction oh that's cool
so because the charge was here so it that's a crater man okay yeah well i mean it went off we
still got a little bit of it in here so it didn't quite kill it off yet and these we satch trees are
like they can survive all kinds of stuff so we're going to want to hit it again with another charge
um but we'll come back to this one later on but you can definitely see the power of the tnt and
that was just one of those charges it wasn't like we put a whole bunch of them in there so you can
really see that power of the tnt so what we're going to do now is we'll go ahead and we'll show
where you can use deck cord to set off two charges with one cap okay got five charges
of the ready prime in there so that's going to be about 2.5 pounds or so and what we've used we've
got a cap in one of them and the other one has the debt cord wrapped around it what's going to
happen is that whenever the ready prime goes off it's also going to initiate the uh debt cord and
the debt cord is going to travel over to here and what it's going to do it's wrapped around
the tnt charge so we're going to get two charges with one cap and this is one of the good uses for
decor one of the frequent uses like i said before you could use it as an explosive in and of itself
for like breaching or whatever and you can also use the link charges like this so
it's a really useful thing to have and especially like here where we don't want to burn up a bunch
of caps and we can do multiple shots with one cap so awesome all right let's make a bang
like
so they said this will have a huge cloud so this will be fun to watch
this is the ready sticks on the left and the tnt on the right
chain linked with the daisy with a deck cord charged and fire in the hole oh yeah
so
that got broke boy so where okay so this is our ready stick one yeah this is the ready
prom it blew it up it's just dangling in there yeah i don't remember this being here
in our way oh you know what it kicked out something yeah there's a branch that came down i'm
just going to pull it that's like a it's a whole tree what in the world that's where like oh it
blew the boat from here yeah that's neat a lot of this stuff's unpredictable what's going to happen
there we go oh you're stronger than me
more or less just pull it out of the way get in there
we saved the charge yeah okay so what we got right here is gonna be our denim mall to use
french word or is that correct that didn't close it up yeah close enough for texas and what we
have is we've got the cap running down here into the charge and then it's tied off with some deck
cord and what'll happen is that whenever that detonates the deck cord was going to go down
through here and it's going to lead to our other charges wrap the deck cord around these
little trees right here is this a little bonus basically to see what would happen
with and what's going to happen is the explosive impulse is going to come down the line and then
it's going to set it off here and send the charge over to that one over there i'll check that out
here in a minute and then the other charge is right here with a tnt booster down in there
we've got this buried down in there and we'll tamp some dirt over that and bury it and then our final
one here well they're all going to go off at once but what we've got is the the gemini explosives on
its own right here we wrapped it up with some rolls of deck cord here to get it to go off
and that goal with that is to blast out this last little bit of tree that we hit with the
pipe bomb earlier so we'll see how it goes and make sure we get everything buried in
but it should make a nice little bang what's neat learning about it is just the deck cord where
they literally just tie the knot in the deck cord over there and just yeah and it just spreads
just by splicing it together wrapping it around wrapping it around this there's nothing to poke
into it's just it's just wrapped yeah then you've got to make sure that actually you're combining
them that you tie them off like you can use like tape if you tape it along but what happens
is um if you have like a junction especially if you have it where like the impulse
is coming this way it'll throw off the cap sometimes or sorry throw off the other cord
so um tying them off is best the best way to do it make sure you get a firm connection and
all the charges go off whenever you set them off pretty cool so yep this will be a big bang let's
push the button yep all right so we have ready stick we have tnt we have det cord run out there
and we have a liquid explosive as well here we go fire in the hole
there's junk everywhere and i see trees
i saw trees fly up in the air and back down
it actually wasn't too loud that was it was deep though i like yeah
the interesting thing is after this is like wait which tree was wired where because
i'm like what's where they're we have trees way over there on the ground but they started off here
and i know this was bigger than this one little scraggly bush and took her jump
that's a big chunk of tree to jump that far oh yeah and then we have stuff way over here
so that yeah that jumps about 15 feet yeah now that is an impressive
charge yeah what was there i think it was that so this tree was here or
they all crossed who knows yeah so anyways that was awesome so you can see right in here how this
just cleared out like there's some root left in here um gloves nothing that'll produce yeah
there's still stuff in here that one of the things with explosives it's good for getting
like most of the roots out but it's not going to give you like a totally flat pasture you can drive
across you still get um random crap down in here it got it out all the way that was very impressive
and when you can see in the uh like it said stuff everywhere and that's why we were that far back
because it will send all kinds of crap fun out of the sky definitely very effective i think that
we can say that explosives are more effective than machine guns for taking out trees
well guys that was a lot of fun sean thanks for having me out tonight introducing me to the
literal blast coming out here party and ordinance lab style we wiped out the trees we burned up um
what about 10 pounds of explosives to do that and again explosives are great for taking down
trees provided you understand what you're getting into that hey it's not necessarily that efficient
and it gets expensive quickly but it's good for places where like you can't get heavy equipment in
and you can blast trees out using that but like if you can get in there with like a machinery
or something like that that's going to be more efficient but not as much fun to go out there
not as much not as entertaining as for sure but it took us what we started about eight o'clock
this morning and it's 11 right now so it took a couple hours because you can't just go in there
and you got to dig stuff up you have to get ready to go it's not just go throw explosives boom come
back throw more explosives on and do it so it takes a lot of time you have to have a lot of
positive control of the area that you're operating in but hopefully again your viewers enjoyed uh
seeing some booms and whatnot you'll be doing some more booms out here um having some more fun and
we'll be following this up now we're going to move on to film some ordinance lab stuff where we're
going to be doing some mythbusters type things where we're going to see if you can actually use
deck cord to clear out a um well a simulated lz that's right the links will be below so
go check out their channel as well thanks for coming by today yeah we'll see y'all soon okay
