I guess 1,650m of duct tape! :)

Who wants to see us put Flex Tape to the test?

When ever Gaunson says something wild you should call it "Gaunsense"

So many flies I was itchy

The flies could be due to the massive amounts of watermelon you've smashed on that pad

The number of flies on heron is making me uncomfortable

*8:48* here you go

Gaunson: *complains he’s tired after only 6 hours of sleep* Every college student ever: *Am I a joke to you?!*

this channel is what KZfaq was invented for.

all those bugs? weird! its almost like someone smashed a load of fruit and soda there....

"HELLO" back to the fly that landed on the screen

3:30 wtf those flies

"I feel like that's gonna be a helpful fact for me for the rest of my life." -Brett Stanford 😂

Analyzing a screenshot from 0:01, I took a pixel-precise measurement of one piece of tape's width (we'll call that TW). At 1:03 we find that 1 TW = 48 mm. Using Photoshop to measure the screenshot, I found out the length of the table is 21 TW, or 1.008 m from edge to edge. The depth of the side bars of the table is 1.5 TW, or 72 mm. At 1:12, we find out that one layer consists of parallel strips, aka "The Old Meshy." It appears that each strip of tape goes from the bottom of one sidebar, across the top of the table, and down the opposite side bar. So each strip is 0.072 m + 1.008 m + 0.072 m = 1.152 m long. The layer going one way uses 11 strips, or 12.672 m of tape. The other layer uses 12 strips, or 13.824 m of tape. Therefore, the average layer uses (12.672 m + 13.824 m) / 2 = *13.248 m of tape.* At 4:10 we learn that after each go they just replace the tape in the square that the bowling ball created. Accounting for overlap of replacement strips, the length of tape necessary to replace one strip appears to be about 8.5 TW, or 0.408 m long (4:07). They replace 4 strips total (two per layer), for a total of 0.408 m x 4 = *1.632 m of tape* replaced for the two-layer go. At 5:23, a similar sized square is made by the ball. There are 4 times more layers to replace, so 1.632 m x 4 = *6.528 m of tape* replaced for the eight-layer go. At 6:50 we see a narrower rectangle formed by the ball. Accounting for overlap, two of these replacement strips appear to only be 6 TW, or 0.288 m long, and the other one seems to be the standard 0.408 m long. Therefore the average replacement length of tape per layer is ([0.288 m x 2] + 0.408 m) / 2 = 0.492 m. This is the sixteen-layer go, so that is a total of 0.492 m x 16 = *7.872 m of tape* replaced. At 7:38 we find out that the last go is "100ish layers". It's hard to tell how many strips of tape are used on the last half of the layers, because the grid pattern becomes solid tape somewhere in the time-lapse at 7:27. This is where some speculation really sneaks in. As best as I can guess, they continue to follow the grid pattern as long as possible, but it becomes so *thicc* that the spaces between parallel strips goes away. After all, they probably quit trying to line the tape up perfectly. I would guess that they applied extra tape to the last few layers to give it that smooth solid finish on top. Let's say that extra tape makes up an additional 2 or 3 "average layers" of tape length. This gives us a total of 102.5 "average layers" of tape length on the table. We also see that they go all the way around the sides several times to hold the strips down. My guess is they wrapped the sides 5 times, for a total of 1.008 m x 4 sides x 5 wraps = *20.16 m of tape*. Time to add everything up... (102.5 average layers x 13.248 m per average layer) + (1.632 m + 6.528 m + 7.872 m of replacement tape for the holes) + (20.16 m of side wrapped tape) = *1,394.112 m of duct tape used.* *Almost 1,400 meters!!* Fun fact: This would be about 26 roles of tape if the roles are a standard 54.8 m length. This amount of tape would reach from the top of the 45 m tower to the ground almost 31 times! And before any of you comment that I have too much time on my hands or I have no life... I only spent two hours on this math and I bet most of you spend more time than that scrolling through Instagram or playing Fortnite everyday. God bless! #44club.

I could feel the flies through the video

8:10 who else noticed the bug going into gaunson’s ear??😱

2:18 hello there

Real Commtest: How many flies on Herron’s shirt? 😂

Those flies would drive me insane

Who else can feel all of those bugs on them. :(

what about if you use FLEX TAPE!

You know, the flies were all attracted to the White shirt. Maybe bring a few huge white sheets and attach them to the fence while filming. It might keep the flies off of you.

The flies annoy me and im not even there, im just watching the video

Awwwww thats so cute, Scott has a kid!! I bet you'll be an awesome dad😎😎 Go scott!!😊😄😁

Duck and duct are both acceptable. It was originally designed to waterproof ammo cases, because water rolled off of it "like water off a duck's back" and after the war, people realized how good it was at sealing air ducts.

Lord the amount of flies makes me itch

Guys, I hate to say this, but the flies are from all the food you've been splatting.

4:57 Gaunson: Man the flies are driving me GNATS! Me: Well played, well played.

6:47 some flies chilling on his back

You need to try doing this kind of stuff with an anchor lol

That moment when the flies remind you that for *them,* it's the middle of summer!

6:47 The amount of flies on his shoulder

4:54 there is a lot of flys on his back

New title "Can 1 Million Flies Stop a Bowling Ball?"

8:10 i think a fly went in your ear

2:19 a fly hit the cam and editor jack put a hello on it's bottom. how good.

You guys definitely earned my like. Little sleep, wrapping all of that duct tape and dealing with flies. BRAVO GENTLEMEN!!

how about a flyswatter VS the flies on Herrons shirt?

The amount of flies of Herron's shirt is freaking me out. You 'Stralian boys are crazy!

6:06 AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW So cute. Well done.

super vidéo comme d'habitude continuer comme ça !!

The real question is how did you guys last an hour of tape wrapping with all those flies flying around?

Ever tried to drop a kettlebell? Flat bottom like an anvil, solid ball like a bowling ball. Best of both worlds

Aluminized tape is used for ducting. During WWII, when the tape you're referring to was created, it was called Duck Tape due to water resistant properties. It is actually quite s**t for A.C. ducting.

I felt for Herron at 8:12. That yell came from the depths of his SOUL. 🤣

make a video where u swat all the flies on ur back at once with one big flyswatter

6:47 Lololol wow you guys have a serious fly problem. Look at that guys shoulder 😂💀💀💀

Hello on the fly, that's gold.

Love these guys and their energy

The bugs were bugging me just from watching this, and I'm indoors...

I don’t know how much you brought but I do know you have to emphasize the T in ducTTTTTTTTTT tape

The sound of that bowling ball hitting the tape was just *chef's kiss* satisfying. But the flies would have driven me insane!! I know this was 3 years ago, so I'm sure you guys invested in a ton of citronella candles, zappers, bugoff, and bug spray by now.

Thanks for all the hard work

*Next video: gaunson vs stanford from 45m*

The flies wouldn't be, because of all the soda, juices, & fruits you've destroyed in that sandbox, would it? ;-)

7:01 he is a true Aussie with that many flies in him

Ideas: Drop stuff on a bell 🔔 Drop a bell on stuff 🔔

Gorilla tape is hell of alot stronger... the real question is... what can these boys do with superglue?

Oh my gosh, Gaunson's kid is so cute!!! And Herron being up with his dog is so relatable XD When my doggo gets an upset stomach, I don't get much sleep either, but it feels like such a silly excuse haha. :)

The flies on Derek’s back is making me feel like I have bugs all over me

Watching the tape unpeel in the time-lapse at 7:27 was so satisfying!

you can get 12* inch wide flex tape

My God the flies! How satisfying would it be to swing one of those electrified bug-zapping tennis rackets around the tower? It might be more therapeutic than popping bubble wrap!

'My dog was up' sounds like a euphemism...

Those flies make me uncomfortable. Lol

If you can guess how many flies were on Derek's back, guess what we'll do folks? WWWWEEE'''''LLLLL PPPPIIIIIINNNNNN YYYYAAAAA!!!!!!

GAUNSON! Absolutely luv ya, Wallace & Gromit comment 🤣🤣🤣

Ducktape is the original name from a cloth that was called duc or duq and that ended up being covered with adhesive as tape for many purposes between the war. Ducttape is a later variant of it and it is not especially good at sealing airducts as it is flammable and ducts can get hot. But it sounded "more plausible" to people not aware of the history and thus became a common vernacular term for all sorts of adhesive covered clothtapes.

I really think that the pattern changed whether the ball went through or not. With the grid, the ball only needed to put clean tears in a few strips of tape, but with the solid pad, the ball would need to punch a hole directly through the tape.

Commtest this week, how many flies are on Herron’s shoulder at 6:45? And if you guess correctly....wE’Ll pIN YaAAa!¡

The dedication for all that ducK Tape, woo0oow. Awesome Channel!

I love how you b=never know what ur doing in the outtro....... its the best XD

Giant dart Vs Beer kegs

I’m itching from the flies thanks guys

gaunson with the scissors in his hand acting like he can cut the flies and they’ll go away🤣🤣🤣

2:18 the fly stopped by to say “hello friend 🙂”

The commtest should have been how many flies Herron had on his shirt

Please rename viddie to just -- FLIES FLIES FLIES FLIES FLIES FLIES FLIES FLIES FLIES Cool yea? Cool

Gorgeous ball! I buy used ones for garden balls, they're practically indestructible!

Y’all should do a giant dart vs rope

i was itching the whole vid because of the stupid flys

Bowling ball: bronze Anvil: silver Giant dart: golden

If you have to do duct tape on the table again, make multiple frames that sit just inside (I saw a ledge that could hold an inner frame) that way you can prepare the night before you go to your location. Just a thought! I am a recent subscriber and I have my notifications turned on. Good luck gentlemen!

I didn't know Scott had a kid OMG he's so cute!!!

Flex tape vs Bowling ball and Giant dart.😁👌✌️👍

Can Duct Tape survive a bowling ball? We will find out...will three Australian men survive flies? Likely not.

Love your vids

:3 Liked for the 'HELLO' on the fly at 2:17 Haha!

You guys need to buy beekeeper suits for the flies

3:31 is that an army of flies on his back 🤮🤮

Wow a commercial before each and every drop. Nothing against you guys, love the channel

The flies are from all the watermelon pulp mashed into the sand!

2:19 there’s a fly on the camera and it says HELLO

All of those bugs are bothering me. And making me feel itchy😂 No big deal though. Good vid 👍🏾

This channel is too entertainment 🤣✌️

Me too it's definitely going to bounce big

Great to have winter and no flies right now!
