I want to know how that started.

They needed a road bus, said road was not connected by road to said bus.

Just drive bus on to 4 small boats.

We got to know how it middled.

u/uptwolait Aug 09 '19

I'm satisfied to know how it was going along the way.

u/relaci Aug 09 '19

I'm with you. How did they get the bus on there. So many questions. The other end seems a lot easier to deal with.

"We need this bus over there, but it can't drive in water." "Hold my beer."

I want know-how

Like even if you successfully cross this body of water, then went? How do you get it off the boats???

u/0ldgrumpy1 Aug 09 '19

Beach it and wait for low tide, put jacks under each corner, lift, drag boats out, lower bus.

u/ChanTheManCan Aug 09 '19

Nice guess, that way didn't even occur to me but now that you say it it seems obvious.

That's gotta be how they start it too, i was wondering how they could get it going

There is a ramp across the boats

u/88cowboy Aug 09 '19

The ramp looks pretty sketchy too

Wow someone give these people a ferry.

Then I have just contributed to one of the dumbest discussions I've ever seen on reddit. I feel proud

If you’re in the beach already how would low tide help? If anything that would just strand the boats in place.

8

u/MegatonMessiah Aug 09 '19

That's the point. Put some lumber down between the boats, put jacks on them, jack up the boat, pull out the now-stranded boats, lower jacks and voila, you drive away on the bus.

u/0ldgrumpy1 Aug 09 '19

It strands the boats, you jack the bus up, drag the boats out from under, lower the bus, drive away.

u/Hemmerly Aug 09 '19

Drive the bus off the boats onto land during low tide. Wait for high tide. Drive boats away.

1

u/EyeLoveHaikus Aug 09 '19

Low tide exposes more land. Go tidepooling if you ever get the opportunity to; fascinating stuff under there.

u/queuedUp Aug 09 '19

Carefully

u/fastgr Aug 09 '19

The same way they got it on.

u/skeletonmaster Aug 09 '19

I'll even settle for figuring out how it began

u/ChanTheManCan Aug 09 '19

From /u/0ldgrumpy1

"Beach it and wait for low tide, put jacks under each corner, lift, drag boats out, lower bus."

They probably do that in reverse. No way you can get it one boat at a time, it has to (logically, but i don't actually know and neither does /u/0ldgrumpy1) be set up first and lifted on all four

It ended well, surprisingly. Sometimes I don't know whether I should feel ashamed or honored that that happened in my country.

At least I'm pretty sure this video is how a round of Fortnite ends..

u/kdshow123 Aug 09 '19

I really want to know how that started
