An old bathroom exhaust fan works really well instead of the hairdryer. Less fire risk and doesn't heat mold your ski boots in the winter.

@MotoCat91

Another alternative: 12V PC fans - they're infinitely quieter than a bathroom exhaust even going full tilt and if you put them on the intake there's no issues of steam/humidity causing damage to them.. pretty sure a couple 120s or even single 200mm PC fan would push a similar volume of air, just with less pressure Then to make up for the lack of heat and to avoid turning your entire room into a swampy sauna (assuming this is indoors) you can place silica gel packs around the exhaust vents. Cheaper alternative to silica can be the crystal-type kitty litter from the local pet store as it's very absorbent, no mess unlike the sawdusty variety and deodourizes too! (If it can make the stink of cat shit tolerable, surely it can help with sweaty gear too)

Definitely a bit silly to use a hair dryer. Probably used for the "DIY" aestetic. That hairdryer had to be opened and wired to a switch and I assume the power cord was spliced into the outlet, the latter part being... not something I would recommend to a wide audience. Not blowin smoke here, I've built a bathroom-exhaust-powered spray booth. Don't do what I did either unless you know precisely what the safety ratings are for your device (aerosols and non-shielded electric motors don't mix). Anyway, you can get bathroom exhausts with heat elements if that's what you want from the hair dryer. They are already intended to be wired directly to mains 120/230v, so you can safely connect them to a simple lightswitch, outlet box, w/e, to a power cable. Just don't be stupid. Always connect your ground wire to the metal exterior and don't use the American 2-prong groundless plug for anything like this. If you're looking for something safer for aerosols or just paranoia in general, squirrel cage heater fans are properly shielded, for obvious reasons.

@@Varadiio you missed a few shots as well as the verbal exposition. The hairdryer was not wired to a switch nor was the power cord spliced. The "WiFi outlet" box is controlled by the app in his phone, the hairdryer is plugged into it as if it were any other outlet with the switch "on." The app turns the power on or off *within the outlet box* and the hairdryer is unmodified. But I still agree that a hairdryer is overkill and a bit hazardous in this application. And that aerosols and unshielded electrical is bad joojoo.

This is awesome. The only thing I'd like to add is a caution to NOT use a hairdryer, or if you do to reduce its wattage somehow. At least in the US (Canada might be different), you cannot run anything at more than 80% of a circuits current continuously. Which is why if you look carefully, almost ALL space heaters are rated for the same wattage, no matter what room "size" the manufacturer suggests. 80% of a 15 amp circuit is 12 amps, times 120 volts is 1,440 watts. That's the max you're allowed to run "continuously". Hair dryers aren't used in this fashion, so they're allowed to be higher. If you use it this way you run the risk of tripping your breaker, or worse. So make sure you de-rate it somehow or use another heat source (venting a space heater would work).

Easy way to start the aluminum tape is to flick towards the aluminum side, it bends, the backing springs back and separates. Best at a corner. Once you have tried the trick you think of all the wasted hours picking at the joint 'cause you didn't want to mess up the foil side.

I have an old Espar D4 Airtronic diesel heater in my camping cabin, powered by car batteries charged by solar and a small back up Honda generator. The batteries also powers LED lights and USB charging sockets. I've been thinking of adding a locker like the one next to your drier and ducting some of the hot air to make a dry robe for wet gear. Or a standalone drying locker bolted to the outside of the cabin with an older, smaller D1LCC heater, so I don't fill the cabin with warm damp air. I could also add a 12v socket to keep the bike battery topped up.

Still the best motorbike content on KZread. Great stuff

While I'm sure this works, I would personally omit all the insulation and heating and use a dehumidifier instead. It uses a lot less energy and might be more material friendly (not sure about that though... is heat the issue when drying leather or is it the speed at which it is dried?). I would also include hangers for a jacket and pants and funnel the dry or warm (or really any) air into the arms and legs. This prevents moisture from going through a membrane into the (hopefully still dry) interior, but is even more efficient if the garments are soaked through. I've been using a system like this for years and it is extremely effective. Unless you already have a dehumidifier, it is probably going to be a lot more expensive up front than a hair dryer, though.

It's the first time I have watched a FortNine video with headphones and not just smartphone/tablet speakers, and I appreciate the audio design!

I don't need it all the time, but it's amazing to have when you need it.

Plywood modification specialist. Great job 45.

Add a humidity detection for automatic shut down. As the stuff dries, it creates humidity, and once the stuff is dry, there isn't any water, so there is no exhaust humidity. Normal household driers use that (if they have an "auto" function).

Keep rocking 45!

I love watching these even if I’m never gonna do it. I have a big fan in my garage for summer ventilation that pointed at a clothes horse with my gear on dries it pretty fast for a lot less watts than a hairdryer, but I love the creativity here!

well done 45, you are a great team

I ride a lot, especially in the rain. We get a lot of rain here in Johannesburg, South Africa. And us bikers get wet.... A LOT!!!!!!!!!! Best trick I have for drying out your soaked shoes or boots so they good for the next morning... Remove them, and pour out any excess water. Yea, they sometimes do fill up in the heavier storms. Then grab as much newspaper as possible, balling pages up and stuffing them into the shoe as much as possible. I also then, with the last few balls, incorporate the laces into the bundle then stuff that into the shoe so they also get dry. I leave the shoes or boots upside down in the basin or bath overnight. Next morning, pull out all the soaking wet paper and your boot / shoes should be nice and dry. But it does depend on how wet they were, but usually they are 80 - 100% dry the next morning. If they are really wet, it does help to maybe change out the paper middle of the night, if you can, with fresh dry paper. Then it should be good the next morning. I tried this with my AlpineStar Winter gloves and it also works a treat on them too! So maybe FortNine and team can give this one a test for the wet bits... 🤣🤣👍

Free advice: A gore-tex pro suit always stays dry as water shakes off easily. And the boots, gloves and helmet can receive an ozone treatment with optional heating, using a compact €80 device. Ozone kills smells ( bacteria and fungus), heat can only prevent it to get worse - to some extend.

I get a kick out of your dryer box 45. I did something close for my kids hockey gear. Ikea cabinet/closet insulated foil foam inside, flood light installed in bottom with wire mesh above incase a piece fell from hangers. A few holes for the heat to flow by convection.

Fellow foot sweaters will love it as much as I do. My suggestion doesn't help with the rest of the gear like the jacket and pants.
