  • In this episode, hacks for rainy days!

  • This one is a really nifty one, okay guys.

  • So if you don't have a dryer at home, and you have some wet clothes that you want dry almost immediately, a great hack is to just use a towel and an iron.

  • Just put it over your garment, and then just iron over the towel.

  • The towel absorbs that moisture; therefore, it makes your garment dry.

  • Can you see the difference?

  • So this side is completely dry and this side is still soaking wet.

  • And that only took like a couple minutes, which is a great fast way of drying your clothes.

  • If you're going out camping and you're afraid that everything is going to get wet, especially your flamage.

  • Don't worry because I'm going to teach you how to waterproof your matchsticks.

  • When a matchstick gets wet, this doesn't light.

  • So now I'm going to teach you how to waterproof it.

  • Grab your matches and dip it in the wax.

  • So what that is doing is obviously just coating the candle with the wax... the matchstick...head.

  • Now that I have waterproof my matchstick, I'm just gonna dip it in the water.

  • Viola!

  • There you go, happy birthday, to whoever's birthday is out there today.

  • This one is a really great hack if you're scare your feet might get wet.

  • All you need is some socks and some plastic bags.

  • First thing you want to do is you want to already wear a pair of socks, which I have right here.

  • So then you want to put your foot in the plastic bag, put the other sock over the plastic bag.

  • So the reason why you've got another sock over the other is because it keeps it from slipping and sliding inside.

  • Cut away the excess bag.

  • My foot looks so fat now.

  • They're already fat and now they look even fatter. Aiya...

  • I've got the biggest ankles, guys. The biggest. It's ridiculous.

  • Okay so, once you've done that, put your shoes on.

  • And now, you've got a nice dry foot, provided you don't sweat.

  • If you've got a broken umbrella, don't throw it away because I'm going to teach you two ways to fix it.

  • First way is using a paperclip.

  • You just want to unravel the paperclip and make it straight just like that.

  • You want to line these two holes here.

  • This is where my auntie will come out because I cannot see the bloody hole.

  • I cannot see hahaha.

  • And then once you've lined that up, you can then thread the paperclip through the holes.

  • And done!

  • Make it nice and tight, twist it around.

  • You gonna find that you've got some excess paperclip but don't worry, you can cut that off with pliers.

  • And that's all there is to it.

  • Now if you don't have a paperclip, you can always use dental floss!

  • So with a dental floss it's the same thing.

  • Line the holes up, thread the dental floss through the holes.

  • Tie it.

  • As you can see I've fixed it here with the paperclip and here with the dental floss.

  • There you go! A brand new umbrella.

  • Now if you're facing a lot of rainy days, and you don't want all your things to get wet; for example your shoes or your material bags, a great way to protect that is to just use a waterproof spray!

  • So I'm going to spray one side of the bag just to show you how well this works.

  • Same thing again, I'm going to spray my shoe.

  • Now that it's dry. When I touch it there's no residue left so it feels completely normal.

  • I'm going to put some water over the waterproof part and then also here.

  • Push it in; it is not going in at all.

  • This is the place I have not waterproof.

  • It is not doing the same thing as the other side.

  • It is just absorbing.

  • So now we got to put the shoes to the test.

  • So this is the one that I've sprayed.

  • Look at that; just rolls off.

  • How cool does that look though?

  • And now do the one without the spray.

  • You can see in this area it's just absorbing.

  • So the waterproof spray works a 100%.

  • It is really great for rainy days, trust me.

  • So if you don't have any waterproof spray, another way to protect all your items inside you bag is to actually just use a garbage bag!

  • So all the army boys do this.

  • When they're out in the jungle, and they've got all their belongings in their bag that they don't want to get wet.

  • They put all their belongings inside the plastic bag, and then they put the plastic bag inside the backpack.

  • So if it rains and the water gets into your backpack, at least this way, all your belongings will be nice and dry inside the plastic bag.

  • This one is for all you people that loves photography, and are afraid to get their cameras wet.

  • All you need is some tape, rubber bands and a plastic bag.

  • So first thing you wanna do is put your camera inside the bag.

  • Now you want to cut a hole just for the lens area.

  • Tie some rubber bands around the lens.

  • Grab your duct tape and just place it over the top like that.

  • So all you need to do is to get underneath the plastic bag, put the plastic bag over your head.

  • And you can just shoot away with no problems without getting wet.

  • We've come to an end of yet another episode.
