real question, how did you do the sponsor part in the pool without getting wet

That ramp robot was absolutely ingenious. The way that the hinge bobs in perfect timing with the water? Can't believe you didnt show more of the coding and hard work behind that final product!!

I love how he built such a sophisticated contraption and ended up just using a block of wood and some cloth

8:34 It has been a while since I've laughed as hard as I did watching this part. Joke worked perfectly. I was JUST thinking to myself "Seems a bit dangerous to put electronics directly connected to an outlet in a pool that you are currently swimming in." *abrupt cut to complete silence just staring at a corpse.*

It's so funny when he finally resigns to his fate and builds the obvious solution. We have the same problem in our pool the frogs and other stuff drown themselves like crazy. They actually make cheap frog ladders you can buy. That's what we got it's just a tiny sandbag holding it to the side then a little water mesh and ramp for them to get out it works great. Now instead of 15 drowned frogs everyday there's basically none

the way he so confidently put electronics and cords underwater truly amazes me

Sometimes I'm not so sure whether he actually wants to help the animals in his backyard or is just happy about the opportunity to use them as free test dummies.

I don't know if I'm more proud of you for saving the lives of various pool dwelling animals, or of my Mum for finding a decent man. Thanks Dad.

I once lived in Costa Rica, and once we rented a property with a pool. We never swam in that pool. For a pretty good reason too. The pool was filled with dead poisonous frogs that drowned themselves. It was pretty sad for all the frogs, and unfortunate for us as well, as we couldn't swim in the pool. We prbly could've used a thing like what you built

Have you seen a bear saving a salmon from drowning in a river? Nature's just amazing!

I love how getting a pool cover was just never an option 😂😂

I love how this man is KZfaq’s jankiest engineer and never once shows the least bit of self-consciousness about it. His shit just works. Or doesn’t.

This is like PG-13 Mark Rober and I’m all here for it

At this rate, he will fly and save birds from falling off the sky

His inventions are getting better and better. He slowly turns into the wish version of mark rober

A couple years ago, I went to a lake with some relatives. We stayed at a cabin and there was a pool. In the pool, I found a bunch of frogs stuck in the filters just whirling around, caught in what looked like seaweed. I tried to pull them out and some were still alive, but for some reason, a lot of them kept hopping right back into the pool. I spent a little over an hour trying to get them all out, but they still kept going back in. And then I noticed a bumble bee drowning, so I used my swimming noodle to scoop it up and slid it off on the edge of the pool. It just sat there, breathing hard. And then it eventually flew away. And then I went back to catching frogs for a while before I got called in for dinner…there were other kids trying to help me get them out of the pool, but sadly, a lot of frogs died that day… :(

I love how you went over the top creating weird machinery when in fact the only humane way is something (anything) along the principles of your last and final solution. 😂 Very entertaining, thanks for being kind and saving wildlife. ❤️

This is all fun and games until you start flinging drowining bees

I like how each machine you make is super complicated and extreme and at the end you just show the most effective method being a simple ledge that allows the frogs to climb onto the edge of the pool that probably only took you five minutes

get a frog log for swimming pools. as someone that works for a pool maintenance company, i can assure you they work well. the customers that buy them and have one or more in their pool always have far less to no dead critters in the pool. they cant cost much more than 10 dollars for one. most people have 2 or 3 stationed around the pool, so any tiny animal can make an easy exit

Just discovered this video today and I can say that this really uplifted my mood so much, I love frogs and you're really talented! I laughed so hard at some parts especially the que of the music after saying wet at 4:46 🤣

“It’s not meant to look like this, it’s dead.” This made me laugh way more than it should have

I love when he first shows us stupid ideas so that when he shows a sensible idea it seems more impressive 😂

Honestly the quiet - oh my god there is an easier way - at the end is so damn real. Also you’re so geniunly clever and funny I love what you do

Mainly because in suburbs, the pure destruction of landscape [ including bodies of water ] forces these amphibians to go to any and every body of water to survive, I.e, pools and garden ponds. The issue is they can’t get out due to the rim and they get sucked into the filter. Two solutions, put a grate on your filter and get a Frog Log

Mark Rober: Don’t worry, the squirrels are fine, I promise. Here’s the science of how. I did a thing: FROG CATAPULT!!!

I had a bunny almost drown in my pool. I bought a few "Frog logs" that help. It is pretty much like your wool ramp, but there is a bottom and it has air. The birds and rabbits love to use them to drink now.

We had a mouse plague about a year ago, we were meant to kill them all but I lived in a shed with fkall so I gave them increasingly difficult tricks to get to the sunflower seeds, and saw 3-4 families of mice quarrelling over the knowledge and older ones teaching the timid babies, so hard to kill them once you've seen their hard work and loyalty and bravery to their family

I love the genius of "support elastic" rather than a larger motor. Working smarter, not harder, LOVE IT!

The chaotic energy surrounding this man is mythical and frightening, he truly is the one we must fear

Imagine being a frog going for a swim in a weird looking pond, and suddenly something floats over and catapults you into a bush Way funner than just making a small floating ramp

What a fantastic channel. We need guys like you doing what you do.

I don't have anything as grand as a pool, and I prefer low-tech 100 percent of the time when it will do the job (your video kinda demonstrates why LOL) but I bend old cheap silverware into an upside down U, scratch it up a bit with sandpaper or even a rock so tiny things can grip, and stick it hooked over the side of any containers (potted plants, cat water dish, etc) in my yard that might hold water. It's like a Sims game ladder but for bugs and little lizards, lol. It can even look quite nice IMO if you use a pretty thrift-store piece with a nice handle. Got too sad seeing the little babies had passed away when all they wanted was a drink. I also set up an old decent-sized pot under an AC drip with rocks propping it (and yes a spoon Sims ladder heh) just so that the drips fill it but then the overflow runs down the handle onto a rock: Big babies can drink out of the pot, little babies can land on the rock or handle or creep up to the ground underneath in the summer heat, without dying! Anybody who gets it wrong or doesn't stick their landing can hopefully climb out! I'm kind of in the country so I might get almost anything, and very SOUTH so it gets hot QUICK and somebody's cat or dog that snuck out might find this lifesaving during the worst of summer. I love feeling less crazy when I see other people caring about that sort of kindness, even to tiny things most people would scream about or just murder for no reason. NOBODY deserves to die just for being thirsty!

I was literally thinking "that can't be safe! one nick in the wire and you'll get electrocuted!" 3 seconds later...unconscious man floating face down in the pool! Your humor is the best part of your videos.

I was genuinely like "wait, he can't seriously be getting into the pool with that plugged in???" then the cut away absolutely gutted me 😂

This actually a LOT like how I design things. I like to spend a LOT of time making a super overcomplicated solution then usually "scale ot back" to the simplest solution later. Classic

This was the first time I've ever rewatched a sponsort part in a video, I love your content man.

Amazing how he died for a minute there and came back to life with an extra ounce of enlightenment on how to really help the poor frogs and lizzies

0:38 And I want to place my bet now before the video officially kicks off. I think that I did a thing is more likely going to increase his pools wildlife kill count by accidentally improving it's murder abilities. I genuinely think he wants to save the slimy critters, I just know that after idk how many videos, that he is a bundle of pure chaos energy + wholesomeness. It seems every time he's trying to help, something always ends up decapitated/close to being decapitated/ripped to shreds/or missing some key portion of itself 💖 I love him for his pure chaotic wholesome energy, not because the results always lend themselves to the original intent.

this is heart warming to see him caring about living things.... now manakins on the other hand....

I love how this shows that more complicated or technical doesn't always mean better.

I can't explain how incredibly fun and entertaining your videos are. The random, completely unpredictable humor you sprinkle into your very wholesome and informative animal/tinkering videos makes every upload my best experience of the day. Love your work!

That was honestly the best transition into a promo I've ever seen in my life.

He played Catch with a robot But never- with his dad. 7:28

Imagine the amount of times he had to dry off his apron during the filming of this video, just so he could get yet another shot of him in a dry apron diving/falling into the pool again.

I used to live at a house that had a pool with a frog problem. They weren’t dying in it. Rather the problem was that they kept *spawning* in it. Little tadpoles in the pool every spring

IDAT rly said drowning was a skill issue-

Just gotta love his ideas and creativity

Theres something called a "frog log" that basicly hangs off the side of your pool and allows the froggos and other critters to climb out. I've seen it in my friends pool and it really worked! Frogs climbed out and no longer died.

I'm sorry sir your backyard seems to be inhabited by derp frogs

This was so creative and fun. Thank you!

frogs and lizards: *drowns* him with skill share sponsor: "skill issue"

"This is a frog, it's not meant to look like this... it's dead" was a great intro

I admire your skill to pick up dead slimy animals, I...could not do that AT ALL

I love how at the beginning he just spawned above the pool at an extreme height...

I love the printing money bit. such a good B-roll

I always enjoy your content involving native wildlife. At home eco-friendliness is a great form of conservation and I respect what you do!

I love how he died then came back to life just to save frogs and lizards. Big props man

3:41 the poor cat got slapped by the reverse mouse trap 😂

This was the most enjoyable video I’ve seen in months😂

I'm a few seconds in and know this machine is going to kill more than it helps, and that's what I appreciates about this channel.

When it's breeding season for the frogs you should make a specialised tank for the tadpoles it would be pretty cool. *edit Thanks for all the likes-however I didn't mean the tadpoles were from the pool. I remember he had a small pond but the frogs were wiped out by water skinks. I meant that he could make something similar, but see-through kind of like a shabby chic version of serpa-design maybe? So you can see the tadpoles developing, but they are safe from cats, birds and water skinks.

My first thought was to just build them a ramp so they can climb out. I'm glad that's what you ended up doing lol.

This shows that the simplest of things can also get the job done. Another way of saying “work smarter not harder” 😂

That was a really nice long shot with zero movement showing how dangerous it is to drop mains power cable into a pool. All in all, great informational video, as always!

The support elastic is so elegant. It helps the servo exactly when it needs to, when the elastic is perpendicular to the servo horn. Really good thinking mate.

This man is the LEAST lazy person, building a robot before making just a simple ramp. Amazing work! 👍🏼

Ha! Jokes on you! My mom isn't Australian anymore! She's all cured

what i appreciate about his content the most is it is always about the journey to the final product, because most, if not all the time, the final product doesnt really work at all.

Having a longer ,partially submerged ramp,with side skirts would help a lot tired animals. Knowing that they try to escape by swimming the whole pool perimeter,so by arrriving sideways to your floating ramp. I would have installed two of them,one in the sun,and one in the shadow.

What a great man for our nation for saving frogs and lizards from death

i love how you spent a whole video making complex machinery after complex machinery only to find out haw simple the actual solution was

I really love how this could easily be solved by purchasing some sort of net to cover the pool but he chose to do the brilliantly chaotic and ingenious method. This is top tier content 😂

I saw the title and immediately thought: “Oh he found an excuse to make a frog catapult” and I was not disappointed

Had the same problem with a local well. All we did was put a few timber poles down into the water so the frogs can climb out.

im so glad you actually made a ramp. i would have lost it otherwise

I work at a pool, the amount of frogs I’ll find in the skimmers is insane. The amount of them that float (or if alive, jump) over and get sucked into the vacuum port and into the hair lint strainer in the pump room is actually horrific, they’re usually torn to shreds cause of pressure and shit and honestly I’ll never get that image from my head lol

i love the fact how his methods are getting better and sophisticated over the time

this illustrates engineering perfectly... all that work just to make a flimsy frog dock in the end 🤣

I love your channel you crack me up

"No, I'm not murdering them. They just keep drowning themselves and I have no idea why." -- me when the pool ladder mysteriously disappears at my sim's house party

We have a pool too and based on how sensitive frogs are, and how they breathe through their skin, I'm inclined to believe that the chemicals used to maintain pools also contribute to the problem.

4:41 made me laugh out loud- it's something about the music's timing with the close up of that frog 😆

*Borrows a family spoon* seconds later *Chops it apart*

After seeing you floating on water... Can you create some shoes to walk on water, thats literally a childhood dream of mine xD would be could to see what can u come up with

I was screaming internally when I saw you getting into the pool with a live wire, and then you showed why a line powered robot in a pool is not such a great idea, even with GFCI outlets.

Wow. I don't know what I watched. You've made it so simple and silly that convinced me like poor frogs.

Btw most frogs get poisonous reactions from human oil on skin so try not to touch tbem with your hands

The first idea I thought of was floating water Lilly pads that would swim to the edges of the pool. Frogs would swim to those triggering them to go to the side, once the frog jumps off, the Lilly pads swim back to the middle.

Other people: *buys frog log* This guy: *builds an entire flinging device*

Nothing more wholesome then seeing a rubber frog get catapulted into the wall lmao

8:38 - 8:52 got me good. I was just thinking ‘why did you get in the pool with a powered extension cord?’ Lol

I love your humor and thank you for explaining everything in an easy way for everyone to understand what’s going on!

When I see your videos full of birds, cute frogs and lizards I think of Australia as a beautiful place full of peaceful and nice animals. Then I remember the 5 meter long spiders and the cat-eating sand-worms.

I'm obsessed with these videos.

Imagine your in the kitchen and frogs start flying against the window and you check what it us and there's this water catapult that shoots frogs out of the neighbours pool NAAAAH BRO THIS GUY I LOVE HIM 😭😭😭

I appreciate you always being so wholesome towards animals and fans. Your the definition of the confidence I need in myself.

Make a frog fence, and a frog pond. Frogs are actually having a really rough time, it would actually be cool if you did something for them, like make them a habitat away from the pool.

I still watch this to this day

“I also used your moms nail polish” idk why that made me laugh so much I guess cause I wasn’t expecting that
