I'm in full-on berserker mode today as I take X-Men Origins Wolverine versus The Wolverine. Stick around. Don't think Hugh is the perfect Wolverine, then you don't know Jack, man, like I do. He can sing, he can dance, after all, this is France. The guy's built like a powerhouse. It's not his fault that the scripts are never up to the caliber that he can deliver. Some of the anti-Jackman haters out there complain that he's too tall. Too tall? Now you're just dick-picking. I think we can all 100% fully agree that the breakout performance in X-Men Origins Wolverine is Black Eyed Peas' front-runner Will I Am. When I think of peer talent on both the musical and acting level, I go to Will I Am. The guy is the real deal. He's oozing with charisma, pouring with charm. And obviously on being fully sarcastic, the guy is awful at everything he does. Why is he in the movie? Other notables in Origins include Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool. He was great for the two scenes he was in before we are reintroduced to him in the last act with the taped-up son-up mouth claws on his hands like Baraka from Mortal Combat.  What happened? Then there's Friday night light star Taylor Kitch doing his damnest to ruin one of my favorite X-Men gambit. The rest of the cast is forgettable, but I suppose I should spend some time on the villain here, Liv Shriver playing Sabertooth. I'm probably going to take some heat for this, but I prefer the original X-Men Sabertooth interpretation. Sure for interpretation. Yeah, he was a mindless oaf, but at least he was big and threatening. Liv Shriver looks like a dude that's out of a Bond film. And the guy's just too classy, he's got too much will-I-am in him. Let's move on to the Wolverine cast. This is a stripped-down picture, there's not a lot going on and that goes with the cast as well. We're focused on Hugh Jackman here. He does have a little muted counterpart though by the name of Yukio, I'm sure I butchered that. She's the katana-wielding badass that flips around every scene like Yoda from Star Wars Episode II The Clone Wars, but in a good way. Then we have Poison Ivy, the other mutant. Her name is Viper, I guess she's got snake-like abilities. I really have no idea why she's in the film, I don't know what her motives were, they seem oddly out of place. Then we have my girl Femke Jensen, once again reprising her role as Jean Grey, the lovely Jean Grey. Of course, this time she's showing up in one of the worst storytelling mechanics known to man. Hugh knows how to act, just let him. I don't need it shoved down my throat that he missed his Femke, I get it, who wouldn't miss her? In fact, I miss her and in another life I picture her me being with her honestly. Sitting on the front porch, watching our two children frolic in the field, I'd yell to them, cottage, sconia, come in for some dinner. She'd clasp her hands around mine, stare into my eyes lovingly, searching for that spark. That's in me, that reason I fell in love with her. It never left Femke and it never will. Yeshita is the villain here, sorry once again if I mispronounced the name. I looked it up in IMDb because I couldn't remember anybody's name in this movie, outside of Jackman's. He's the Silver Samurai, we finally find out in the last portion of the film, but it was abundantly clear to me. I don't know if that was the case for everybody else, but as soon as I knew he was going to take Wolverine's healing ability, I'm like, there's some sketchers about this guy, this guy's sketchy, he's the villain. And I suppose that's as good of a place as any to move to round two, the story or the plot. I'm not sure what the title scene says. If you're at all familiar with the show Movie Feuds, you know I'm not one to shy away from picking my side, I don't stay on the fence on this. I give you my take and I suggest you do the same in the comments. But this is a tough one for me because I find both these films extremely mediocre. Obviously X-Men Origins Wolverine is the worst of the two.   So there's that. And then on the other hand, which is, of course, my left hand is The Wolverine. The director here so badly wants this to be a mutant James Bond film that he forgets anything interesting about Wolverine. The first 20 minutes is great. It actually harkens back, I believe that's a word, to X-Men 1 with a bar rumble when we first meet Wolverine. It's a fantastic set piece. It's a fantastic reintroduction to Wolverine. But then he gets to Japan and things just fall to pieces right away. I don't know why this director thought that we wanted to see a less powerful Logan. If anything, I want to see him take on like 16 guys at once, come out bloodied and bashed up, yelling to the top of his lungs, covered in blood. But unfortunately, we're never going to get that film. Darren Aronofsky was supposed to direct. This is a guy who did Requiem for a Dream, Life of Pi. Or just Pi. It doesn't matter. But he backed out. And this is what we got instead. A halfway realized Wolverine film. And then we get terribly scripted scenes like where Wolverine is going to fight 30 ninjas. Hell, I think he even says that's not enough. But then he immediately runs away and gets taken out by those very same ninjas. Apparently it was enough Wolverine. Apparently it was just right. Well, X-Men Origins has plenty of action. None of it's particularly good.  But once again, that's that's the charm of this movie is it's just so dumb that you can watch it with some popcorn and laugh. The effects are sketchy. They're shocking at best. They look like the effects crew got halfway through and said, look at this, let's go, let's go grab a slice of pizza and walk away from this project. It's terrible anyways. The Wolverine had plenty of action, too. Unfortunately, it was just dull. Outside of the katana wielding ninja chick, everything else was bland. There was a cool two, three minute bullet train sequence.  At that point, I thought they just took used footage from Wolverine Origins and placed it at the end of this movie. The musical score was probably better in the Wolverine. I honestly don't know. I don't remember music from any of them. I don't care.  Let's just give it to Wolverine, whatever. If I was to give these two movies an arbitrary score, A through F, which I will do right now, I would give the Wolverine a C. It's extremely mediocre across the board. It does nothing for the film. You know what?  I'm going to give it a C minus. Yeah, I just went there.  So to summarize, Jackman be nimble, Jackman be quick. Jackman just needs to pick out a better script because these movies are not up to snuff. I know some of you think the Wolverine is a fantastic film, a fantastic film, I say. Obviously, I don't. You can tell me in the comments that I'm wrong. It's never stopped you in the past to just tear into me, call me names. That's cool, though. That's what this is all about, right? Attacking me and not the film. More than just reviews, this is movie feeds. I'm not bitter. Hey, not everybody heals as fast as you do, Logan. Remember who said that? It was Cyclops. Where is he now? Yeah, he's dead. He's dead. Oh, you don't know that because this is Origins and you don't meet him until OK, well, let's just move on. You're going to do what you do. That's fine.


Shane Dawson and Rylin Adams just gave us a little sneak peek kind of an empty house tour of their brand new home. But while watching this I was thinking Shane Dawson really needs to start taking his own advice but this might also be something that you're struggling with too. What is up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel, my channel is all about mental health and what I like to do is pull different topics from the YouTube community to try to teach you how to improve your mental and emotional well-being. So if you're into that kind of stuff make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell because I make a ton, a ton of videos. All right but yeah anyways Shane Dawson, Rylin Adams, love him oh so much. So yesterday Rylin uploaded a video over on his channel of their empty house tour and towards the beginning Shane and Rylin were talking about their new house and then this clip happened. I just have to say this because I feel like I've always been this type of person that feels worried about this stuff but I just want to say number one this is not like some crazy whatever house this is like it's not it looks big but it really isn't that crazy especially with I just want to say that I'm working on YouTube for like 10 years or more and I've kind of always held back from you know getting my dream house because I felt like I wasn't ready but now I'm I'm excited and I don't want to feel like I'm showing off or bragging I feel like I'm doing like a Christmas unboxing video like I'm a guru like I'm not bragging this isn't to brag or anything I know that everybody says that you know what I mean but like it is kind of like this is what I've worked my whole life for yeah and when I was watching that it was just fascinating to me because when Shane Dawson first started this kind of new thing he was doing with his channel with these little docuseries back when they were only like three parts instead of eight parts um one of the first people he did this with was graveyard girl or bunny right and I remember I remember watching that and bunny not really wanting to show her house not really want to show the inside because she felt the same things that Shane Dawson was tell them explain to them yeah why you aren't talking about certain things and your reasonings and see what they well I just don't want people to think that I'm unaware of like the privileges that I have and that I don't want to come across as like bragging it's like I would like to show more in my life and like share more of the things I love and the things that I like to do but I don't want to be like I have this and then I have this and then we're gonna go and do that and Shane's talking to her and he explained like no this is good this is great and then Morgan even said like as an aspiring youtuber like you know this inspires me it makes me want to work hard it makes me want to do better what's fascinating to me is how Shane is able to give that advice to bunny right but he is dealing with the same thing that she was dealing with and this is interesting because Shane is somebody who's regularly working on being a fixer always trying to help other people but how often do we have to help ourselves too so something that's you might be struggling with is that you're really good at giving people advice but not taking it yourself and this is something that I struggled with a lot you know like throughout my entire life I I even like in my active addiction and I was just an awful human being I still I still like to help people where I can I still like giving people advice I it's something I've done since like middle school and high school like and a lot of the stems from my childhood if you want to get into the quick psychology of Chris real quick I had an alcoholic mom who I couldn't fix so what I was trying to do was always trying to fix other people by giving them advice and the things like that and maybe that's part of the reason why I'm in this career path that I'm in of mental health but it's it's crazy because so many of us we give people advice all the time it's so easy to look at somebody else's life life and tell them what they should do right we know exactly how somebody else's life should run but we're dealing with those same things and this is a struggle that so many of us have so I want to give you some tips that kind of help me out with this when I first started working on my mental health and I was confused or I was lost or I didn't know what to do in a situation something that my mom often said to me was like what would you tell Dylan my son what would you tell him to do in this situation I'm like oh right and then that started branching out in my head because she constantly said that like when I wanted to lash out or yell at somebody because I had some anger issues by the way I'm working on an anger management book as soon as I stop recording this video but like what would I tell my son to do would I tell my son to freak out on somebody would I tell my son to get angry or break something or you know what I mean and it's like no I absolutely wouldn't so what would I tell somebody else who's dealing with depression or anxiety what would I say to them right now if I could take that and say okay well why can't I say that to myself and a lot of this has to do with self love self compassion and a lot of us care more about other people than we do for ourselves so one of the tips I want to give you is treat yourself talk to yourself like you would a friend right like are you forgiving are you compassionate are you understanding because if you have those qualities then quit beating yourself up so much you know what I'm saying now I'm not even saying what Shane did was wrong I think you know with somebody like Shane Dawson and I was talking to Tristan about this Jenna Marbles and Julian had kind of a similar conversation before they moved into their own house I think this helps us be a better judge of characters with these youtubers because there is some humility and we see what they're saying and like you know of course all of them could be lying to us but I'm a little bit of an optimist and I can tell like you know somebody like Shane Dawson did come from humble beginnings somebody like Jenna Marbles came from humble beginnings a lot of these people did so when they're when they're sharing that with you I think it helps us feel a little bit more connected and that they're not just doing this like to flex on us and stuff so I do appreciate that about that so like what I'm saying like again I'm not saying Shane Dawson did anything wrong but it brings up a very interesting conversation because so many of you reach out to me you DM me you tweet at me you're asking me for advice and you know like my number one piece of advice like if you can't get a hold of me like look I'm not always around and I can't reply to all of your DMs I can't do everything like one of the best things you could do is say like what would what would Chris tell me to do and I'm not even saying like my my suggestions are always right but ask yourself what would this person do something I try to teach my clients is if you're trying to grow and become a better person like think of somebody who you aspire to be right this can be somebody in the past it could be somebody in the present like who do you look up to right like for example like maybe if Martin Luther King or Gandhi or whoever it is ask yourself in any given situation what would they do what would they say right that's something that you can do to kind of guide yourself in a north star so when you when you don't want to get out of the bed in the morning when you're feeling a lack of motivation when you're beating yourself up and you're doing this when you're doing that whatever it is ask yourself what would this other person do what would they tell me because like what I what are my goals for this channel is to provide you with so many tools that you don't even need me really right maybe you come here for like refreshers but I want to give you tools so like you can sit back and just say okay what would what would this person tell me to do in this situation because there's only so much somebody can teach us you know what I mean and this like a real world scenario that I can relate this to is I know somebody who runs a family support group for people who are the loved ones of drug addicts and alcoholics and she runs this group and she gives people tools and methods it's like a workshop to teach people how to maintain their mental health and you know set boundaries and do all these amazing things right when they have a loved one who's addicted well recently this person's um had a loved one who relapsed and they don't know what to do they don't know what to do every excuse is flying through their head and I basically like have to tell her like well what would you tell somebody in your group if somebody in your group was telling you all these things giving you excuses telling you what you can't do what would you tell them and it's interesting because you can kind of see this light switch go off right because we we have that thing what what what we call a terminal uniqueness where we think oh this might help you but it won't help me right so ask yourself that like what would you tell somebody else in a situation like if if you are in I'm just gonna throw this out there if you're in an abusive relationship what would you tell your friend what would you tell your family member what would you tell your son what would you tell your daughter what would you tell this person to do right then try to take that advice yourself now the last thing I'll in this video with is a huge part of this is being honest okay honesty is a huge part okay this is where self awareness comes in because when I'm teaching this to people about like what would you tell this other person sometimes people lie to themselves and they say oh I would tell them to do this just so they can justify their own behavior and that's not what we do that's not what we do for example um if my son say say you know I say I'm in a bad mood say I'm in a bad mood I want to lash out I want to freak out on somebody I want to scream at somebody I want to do all this stuff right and then something pops in my head what would I tell my son to do if this was a kid at school I'd be lying to myself if I said oh I want I think my son should go punch that kid in the face I think my son should go tease that kid and make fun of him like that's lying I don't want my son to become that person I don't want my son to get bullied and then become a bully that's not it so like don't lie to yourself and you're asking yourself about what kind of suggestions you would give somebody else right just so you can justify your own behaviors because then then this this tool that I'm giving you the suggestion I'm giving you is completely useless all right so this is just something that I want you to think about throughout your day throughout your week even because something I've realized especially in our discord server so many people we call it the wounded heal healer okay the wounded healer so many people who have gone through mental illness who have gone through trauma who have gone through tragedy like we love helping people we're so kind and compassionate like if you've just sit in the discord sometimes you guys I'm just sitting in the discord and just watching the love and support you give each other right and what we need to do we need to figure out how do we flip that and turn and give that love and support to ourselves how can we take what we're offering so many other people and do it for ourselves too I know a lot of you struggle with self love self compassion all these things right but if you can somehow take that love and compassion that you give to other people and turn it on to yourself your mental health will start to get better and start loving yourself a little bit more and even if you don't love yourself a little bit more today just start liking yourself a little bit more just by being a little bit nicer to yourself all right but anyways let me know down in the comments below like is this something that you struggle with is this something that you struggle with where it's easier for you to give people advice but you suck at taking your own advice all right even if you have an example I would love to hear about it down in the comments okay let's go down there and let's support each other in the comments all right anyways that's all I got for you with this video if you like this video please give it a thumbs up if you're new make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell because I make a ton of videos and a huge thank you to everybody supporting the channel over on patreon you are all amazing I have a patreon q&a coming up very soon it might be up today maybe tomorrow but anyways I'll be answering all your questions all right thanks so much for watching take your own advice and I'll see you next time


Oh my god, I think there's acting in here Hey guys, this is my review for Supernatural season 14 episode 12 Oh, wow Again decent episode like not groundbreaking admittedly It's not a be-all-end-all, but it's actually a decent episode with some Slightly creative writing elements. This episode is about a secondary profit. It reminds me honestly of Buffy and Faith from the Buffy television show when Buffy died Faith was activated as a vampire slayer. So there was two of them And then this is basically the same thing Donatello is kind of in a he's a vegetable sort of so a secondary profit is activated And there's some pretty actually some good scenes with this guy in terms of just Dark atmosphere the first person he kills he puts him into assault of this girl into assault that cuts her wrist and then drowns her It's it's very well shot admittedly the guy looks like a crackhead version of the porn star James Dean It was a cool idea and this character was interesting admittedly The story part of it ends really quickly But it continues on as a mystery and how the episode is edited is really cool because when they figure out It's not a tell them is a pretty good at it admittedly and the relationship between Dean and Sam Again, we have seen this on billion times before and the the the whole Confliction of him going in the box ends really quickly because like I have said before Andrew Dabb can't hold a storyline to save his life for more than three episodes. So what happens is Dean kind of Comes a resolution that maybe they can try because him and Sam actually have a pretty good talk Outside at the end of the episode Sam decks him because he's like this is stupid You want to help other people you didn't give up an on tell but you're giving up on us like admittedly again We've heard this a million times before but the acting was actually not too bad It must have been great for Jared because Jared's had nothing for Sam for Several seasons so this was cool to see him really bring out some acting again, and I did enjoy it I liked the aspect between him and Dean the one thing that I wish that he had said though is at the end of the Episode he's like we're gonna try but if it all fails you're gonna have to put me in that box And I just wish Dean had said then Because I let you go into the cage and that's it like that would have really cemented that moment because that this is a Parallel basically of what happened with Sam all those years ago when they went up against Lucifer back in season 5 Speaking of Lucifer though, they are still continuing the next storyline. I'm sorry, but this is such a bad Story angle the whole like breeze come back Lucifer.   No, he's not not anymore. We lost it We lost it a long time ago.    Otherwise the episode is actually pretty good brother dynamics are good I like the mystery. I like kind of the idea of it and the relevance back to Well the indirect relevance back to season five As well as getting to see some actual character and some emotion from the two leads So I'm gonna give this episode a five out of seven. I thought it was actually not too bad again that side element is fucking awful But as long as they don't fully commit to that we'll see but episode 13 is next the 300th episode of Supernatural and that means John Winchester is coming back Really interested to see how they're gonna work that way. Anyways guys I hope you liked this review if you did leave a like and if yours did more maybe subscribe Since we're in the month of February We're counting down the days now to the release of Camp Death 3 in 2d doing a shout out for these guys once again Let me watch the movie ahead of time and I'm just doing a little shout out big for him because there's a Canadian production It was made out here and the film comes out on Amazon Prime on February 16th I'm gonna leave a link for the Facebook page in the description below. Anyways guys. That's all for me See you guys next time


If you wanna learn how to do a handstand within the next 30 days, keep watching. I started my calisthenic challenge about a month ago and I have so much more to learn, one of which was a handstand. So I was like, let's just prioritize that and just get that out of the way so I can move on to other exercises. So I'm gonna tell you exactly what I did. Depending on your fitness level, you can use the next exercises either as a real workout or a warmup for the next exercises. So let's just assume you've never done a handstand. You don't know if your shoulders are capable of actually holding your entire body weight up in the air. So I would suggest doing this. Before I show you this real quick, I, while editing the video, I was like, I'm not sure if I should put that clip in there but it was so freaking cute and it wasn't planned so I was like, I'm just gonna leave it in there. It doesn't have any audio so I'll probably show it right now. My girlfriend and my dog came out while I was filming this part and they were just both of them were so sweet so I'm just gonna put it in there. Anyways, the exercise that I wanna show you that you can use either as a warmup or a workout in itself is kneeling, resistance band, shoulder press. So if your shoulders are not ready yet for a handstand, this is a great exercise to get started. I would suggest three sets of 10 reps with like a two to three second hold on top. If you think your shoulders are getting ready or they are warmed up, you can move on to the next exercise which is basically a leaning exercise. All you have to do is lean forward and put more pressure, more tension on your shoulders just so your body can get used to the entire weight on your hands. This exercise is really important because you slowly put more pressure on your hands to really prepare them for the upcoming stress which you are probably not used to. When you feel comfortable leaning and holding this position for about 30 seconds, you're ready to move on to the leaning handstand. The main purpose of this exercise is to build the strength in your shoulders to support your body. This is not an exercise to work on perfect form. As you can see, without the wall I would immediately fall over since I'm not balanced whatsoever. Three sets of a maximum hold is sufficient in my opinion. After the wall handstand, you can move on to the frog stance. This is an amazing exercise because finally you get challenged with two things. Not only the strength component of the frog stance so your shoulders will burn like crazy but at the same time your coordination will kick in because you have to balance yourself in this position. The goal is to find the perfect balance and hold for as long as you can. Three sets of a maximum hold is great. If you can hold the frog stance for at least 30 seconds and you feel comfortable moving on, the next step is basically just swinging up your legs. With this exercise, you need to try to catch yourself without falling over and don't worry if it doesn't work for the first time. You will have to fail to succeed. Repetition is key here. The more you try it, the better your coordination will advance. After I was able to throw my body up there and catch myself in the right position and balance it for a little bit, I started experimenting with different poses. I had straight legs, open legs, tugged legs.  Each successful handstand will bring you closer to the perfect handstand. With that I mean you will start to focus on different things such as your breathing, your tension in your body, the position of your toes and much more. One more thing to strengthen my upper body, I also included handstand walks which was extremely helpful because I just built more muscle memory I guess and my strength and my shoulders were just good enough to actually hold myself up there for at least 40, 50 seconds of just walking because the balancing part is not as important if you want to stand super still. So with walking you just use your legs a little bit and it looks a little weird but it actually helps a lot. And after you go through these parts, in the end at some point you will be able to hold a handstand. I have to admit working on handstands is a very addictive hobby to do because you see if you're consistent with it you will see a great progress within a short period of time. I personally worked on my handstands every single day for the past two and a half weeks now and I'm very happy with the results so far. I have much to learn. I'm far away from a perfect handstand but again, two and a half weeks, not too bad. I'm really happy with it. If you are a beginner do not rush yourself just because I did it in 14 days don't expect the same thing to happen to you. Just start with part one, focus on each exercise and make sure you master every single exercise before you advance and move on to the next one. I promise you if you're consistent and if you put time into every single exercise at one point, maybe 30 days and I'm pretty sure you can do it within 30 days might be 40 days for you. It doesn't matter. Don't pressure yourself and don't put a limit on it. Just focus on each part and then advance and at one point you'll be able to do the handstand.


All right, so let's take a close look at the GoGirl device. When you order your GoGirl, it comes in a cylindrical shaped tube. It's very lightweight, very compact, and TSA approved in case you plan on traveling with the GoGirl device. In the outer tube, there are some information about when can you use the GoGirl for sports, camping, or boating. Now, in the inside of the tube, there are three main pieces. The first one is the funnel or de-earnation device. This is the device that you are going to use, very pretty color. It's 100% BPA-free, and it's made of 100% medical grade silicone, so it should be very safe for you to use. Now, the second piece is this plastic bag. This plastic bag is used to store de-earnation device, and it also has some information about how to use it. The instructions are provided in English, Spanish, and French, so just make sure that you are spending some time to read through and familiarize yourself with the device before using it. And the third piece is a paper tissue, but I've already used mine. So now let's talk about how to use the device. First of all, before you take it to your first adventure outside, make sure that you spend some time practicing at home for you to get more comfortable with how to use it. Now, if you look at the funnel, there is, first of all, a sign that says, do not flush, obviously. This is a device that can be reusable, so pretty much every time you use it, you clean it, put it back in the tube, and you can use it as many times as you want. If you take a close look at the funnel here, there are two edges, and one of them is higher than the other. So the taller part or the taller side of the urination device is the one that's going to go to the back, and then the shorter one is the one that's going to go in the front.   When you place it in the backside, you wanna make sure that you are applying a little bit of pressure, just to make sure that you are avoiding any leakage. So if you look at the pictures here, this is the position that you want to be in, and this is the one that you want to avoid. And if you follow these exact instructions, there won't be any leakage. Again, you just have to practice a couple of signs at home. Make sure that you have a successful experience before you take it outside. Now, when you use the device, you wanna make sure that you rinse it off with some water and dry it with either a towel, a pee rag, or some paper towel. Now let's talk about how to store the urination device. The way that I like to do this is by folding the plastic bag in half and then putting the urination device in the middle and try to fold it as small as, as compact as possible. And then I would roll the plastic bag and use the sticker just to make sure that everything is secured. And this way it's going to be easy enough to fit into the tube. And I would just put it inside and close it. And voila. Now, just make sure when you get home, if you are, for example, hiking outside, that you do clean it one more time and dry it to ensure that there's no bacteria growing in there. This is a very intimate device. You're gonna be using it a couple of times. So just make sure that it's staying clean and dry.


What is going on everybody? Welcome to Rotor Riot and welcome back to Learn FPV. This episode's going to be about the different tools and supplies that you'll need to build or work on a drone. It's probably going to be pretty short because you really don't need a whole lot. You could pretty much build a whole drone with a set of Allen drivers, a soldering iron, some solder, wire cutters, and electrical tape. But what I'll do is I'll go through each and talk about them a little bit and give you a little guidance on what you should look for in each one. So with your Allen drivers the sizes you're most commonly going to need are a 1.5 and a 2. You can usually find sets of four of these that are going to come with both of those. Sometimes they'll have a 2.5, sometimes they'll have a 3, but the one that we sell is going to have a 1.5, a 2.5, and a 5.5 nut driver. That's because on some frames they're going to use M3 nuts and this is the driver that goes for that. Speaking of drivers, you're also going to need something for the prop nuts. So you can use an eight millimeter wrench, you can use a socket. What I've actually found to use is this is a screwdriver I got at Harbor Freight and there's a removable head on here that you can flip around and be Phillips or Flathead similar to this one. But what I found is this actually fits the prop nut perfectly. So for me this is like two bucks I've been using it forever. There's also tools that are meant specifically for prop nuts. There's a bunch of different options out there, but you definitely need something to remove your prop nuts because you're going to go through a whole lot of props. Let's talk a little bit about soldering irons. A lot of people when they get into the hobby they're very scared of soldering, but soldering can be super easy. It can also be super difficult. The thing that's going to make it difficult is the things that you buy. So if you have a cheap soldering iron that can't get hot enough or you use the wrong or a poor quality solder it's going to be a miserable experience. You won't get the solder to melt properly and you're just going to have all kinds of problems. So look for a soldering iron that can do around 60 watts or more. It's probably wise to do a little research, look for reviews, or just go online and ask someone else what they're using. Not all irons that are rated the same act the same. So you kind of need to know that it's a trusted brand or at least that someone's used it and gave it a fair review. The reason the iron needs to be powerful is because even though it could be really really hot to the touch once you're trying to actually solder on to something whatever you're soldering to acts as a heat sink and it sucks all the heat out of the iron. You can also get portable soldering irons. We sell these in the store. These work really good. A lot of people don't even use their bench top soldering iron anymore. They just only use this. So this is called the TS100 and you can power it off one of your lipo.  So this one for sure I can tell you does a good job. To go with the iron you need one of these metal cleaning thingies. I don't know exactly what this material is. It's like I'm not sure but if you look for soldering iron tip cleaner you can usually find one of these. These are important because the tip of the iron needs to always stay really clean. So you need to be really meticulous about constantly wiping it off. The tip of the iron should be really nice and shiny. If it's dark or it has corrosion on it that's really going to stop how much heat can transfer through that. So as you're soldering things you just constantly keep wiping it and keep it clean. You also need to make sure that you have the right type of solder. You don't want to use plumbing solder. You have to get solder that's meant for electronics and you also want a 60-40 blend. I can't remember off the top of my head what that blend is. I believe it's zinc and something else but it's not really important what it is. Just make sure you get a 60-40 solder or there's also 63-37. Either one of those two that's the right solder. To make it easy we can just put a link down in the description to the solder that I use because I know this stuff's good. So if you don't even know what soldering is and you're not sure how that works essentially what you're doing is you're taking the solid heating it up with an iron until it gets to a certain point and then it melts into a liquid. Once it cools off it goes back to solid. So this is just a way to make a connection between two pieces of metal and the way you do it is you don't take two pieces set them together and then feed this in. What you actually do is you tin each side of the wire. So what tinning is is coating this wire with the solder. So what you would do you heat up the wire with the iron and then on the opposite side of that wire you feed in the solder. So you basically like this. Hold the wire get solder on it and then you would do the same thing to the other side. So once both of these ends of these wires are coated with solder you can put them next to each other heat them both. It's going to form into a liquid cool down into a solid and they'll be connected. We already have a ton of build videos on the channel so you'll get more soldering tips there if you want to check that out. Another super common tool I use all the time is wire cutters. These are obviously to cut wires but I also use these as my wire stripper. So it takes a little bit of dexterity to strip the insulation off the wire without cutting through it but it's really not that difficult. So you could also just buy a wire stripper tool but this works really well. Depending on the thickness of it you can a lot of times just pinch it with your thumbnail and pull it off. But wire cutters definitely a good thing to have. Also sort of related to soldering is either tweezers or a small set of pliers. I usually use the pliers and what that's for is to hold on to the wire as you're soldering because the heat is going to transfer through that wire and it's going to get really hot. So sometimes if you're man enough you can hold on to it but I don't need to prove anything to anyone so I usually hold it with a set of pliers while I'm doing my soldering. I think that's basically it. Let me know in the comments if there's other tools that you guys use but this is pretty much all I ever use to work on my quads. Depending on if you have a weird design frame or some kind of bind and fly that comes with odd screws or something there may be other tools you need but for most everything I've come across some allen drivers, a phillips head, a soldering iron, wire cutters, tweezers or pliers that's pretty much all I ever need. Oh and the other tool that I didn't mention is this guy. So what this is, this is a heat gun.  The way that heat shrink works is you can slide this over something and then once you heat it up it's going to shrink. So this is really good for just wrapping things up, keeping them isolated from other components like in particular the frames we use are carbon fiber and that's conductive. So if you have an electronic component sitting directly on carbon fiber it's probably going to catch on fire. So things I use heat shrink for are to cover my ESCs to go over my receiver and to mount my receiver antennas to zip ties. So speaking of zip ties it's a good idea to go out and get a big assortment of different sized zip ties. There's a ton of different uses for them. You can hold things down with them. You can mount antennas with them. I probably have zip ties in every quad I've ever built. Speaking of mounting another really good thing to have is some double-sided tape. I usually use this for my video transmitter and mount that down with tape but there's again like a lot of things a ton of different uses and you'll find yourself using double-sided tape all the time. Another tape I use on pretty much every build that you probably already have laying around is electrical tape. So there's a lot of different uses for it. You can wrap things up instead of using heat shrink to isolate it away from carbon fiber or other components. You can mount things down with it. I usually use electrical tape to hold my speed controllers down to the arm so I'll usually use a little bit of double-sided tape to stick them down and then electrical tape to make sure they don't come flying off. Another thing I like to keep on hand is some spare wire. So I almost never throw a wire away.  I've got some really thin gauge. I've got some thicker gauge and it's just smart to save because it's there's nothing more annoying than cutting a wire too short and you don't have any other wire to replace it. So you've got to order a wire and wait and it's it's like five cents worth of wire and you're wading through the mail and you probably paid five bucks to have it shipped. So I would definitely advise save your extra wire. It'll probably come in handy. The only other thing I have up here is some Velcro and this is kind of a different type of Velcro. This is called dual lock. So the difference between dual lock and normal Velcro it's the same on both sides and it's quite a bit stronger than normal Velcro. So I use these for my batteries. I just love that it's the same on both ends.  So I think that's gonna do it. Definitely like I said before guys let me know in the comments if there's other tools that new guys should get. This is just all I ever use so I don't I don't really know. Maybe there's something I'm missing out on that would make my builds easier. So that's gonna do it for this episode and the next one we're going to talk about the pros and cons in choosing a bind and fly drone or building one yourself. So thanks for watching and this is Learn to FPV.


It was a form of civic participation, and it was a form of freedom for African Americans. It was a form of freedom for African Americans. It was a form of freedom for African Americans. It was a form of civic participation, self-creation, self-actualization, and personal aspiration. Education had a value in and of itself. Black colleges start in a whole variety of ways, right? They start in the basements of churches. They start in one-room classrooms. They start in sort of abandoned structures that had been left over from the war. They start through the Government's Freedmen's Bureau with help from the American Missionary Association, with help from the African Methodist Episcopal Church and the AME Zion Church and Philanthropists. In the midst of this low point in terms of racial violence, these institutions become protective spaces. They're using these spaces to educate, but also to empower those same young black people to see themselves as a wave of young folks who are going to begin to call out America's hypocrisy. Black colleges understand the trauma, the disinvestment that their students arrive on campus with, and they see it as part of their mission to heal and rearrange the thinking that tells us that we cannot be the best and that we are not among the best. Thank you.
