I like that feeling I get when I do the final watch through of a video just before uploading it…. and I genuinely enjoy the content. It’s like I’m grateful that the video exists, independent of who made it. Thank you everyone who supports on Patreon. This allows me to make videos about topics I feel great personally curiosity towards.

Thanks to all the Coasties that took the time to teach me, and who worked with me to make this video possible.
You were in my area!! Would love to teach you “sandcastle science” next time you find yourself down here!!
@norweeg 😂
Thank you for all the effort you go to. Learned something fascinating today!
As an Active Duty Coastie, thank you for bringing attention to all the various things that go together with the Coast Guard. It is so much more than people usually realize.
Also, where did you get the stl for that 45 RBM?
Awesome stuff🌬🚤🚁🛥♾🔱👀….Thank you…👍
I was just reading about the development of optimal search patterns last week. Good to finally learn how to finger whistle!
@notme222 ya want your tongue to be wide and flat so all the air goes over the top and down between your fingers. Good luck
@notme222 instructions unclear. Hand stuck in mouth.
@Michael Allen So is the tongue folded by the fingers and held in place?
@Michael Allen underrated comment
I must have watched that part 9 times in a row and couldn’t get it done.
I had a hard time acclimating to college and almost quit pursuing engineering to find another major, but through your videos and some other fantastic creators in this genre I found a major I enjoy. So thank you.
That’s so fantastic, best to you in your pursuits! 👍
21 year retired Coastie here and you explained that perfectly. The funny thing is our small boat station community are some of our youngest people and they are performing these searches all the time. It sounds complex but when you do them all the time it becomes routine. The large ships and aircraft use the same procedures.
I was just thinking that they must practice these searches at least monthly and with crew in changing roles.
The sign of an expert is being able to explain their craft back to you in a simple way. These coast guard members were very well practiced in what they do
Yes we are. That’s all we do is train.
Smart group of young people. I’m actually quite shocked, and reassured. Most young people I encounter, barely look up from their phones, and when they do, it’s to talk about what’s on their phones.
Amazing video as usual. Also, whistled first time with that trick!
For me worked too!
@SmarterEveryDay I’m having a hard time mastering it, but I’m close to getting it.
@SmarterEveryDay never seen you so excited dude. Hit deep, huh
@Viiltelijä Murhaaja Don’t worry, I’m English and all I have is wet fingers :/
@SmarterEveryDay will have to try this I’ve never really been able to whizzle..I can tell you must be part of this group, why else would you be so shockered.
The square wave search pattern is called Boustrophedon, literally meaning “turning like the ox plows”. That’s the one piece of information I can’t forget from my university signal-processing classes….
*Destin listing search patterns * “…and the last one is…” *garbled*
Thanks for that! It’s similar to the way CRTs would draw images on the screen!
It’s also how some adressable led screens are setup.
That drifting VS pattern was really interesting. Overlying drifts with search patterns really leads to a counterintuitive result. This video definitely lived up to the channel name. 👍
No way! LPL is here!
Smarter Every Day is one of my favorite content providers and so is LPL! That search pattern really is counter intuitive, I would expect more of a grid. Currents really add another dimension to searching!
Fancy seeing you here
LPL!!!!! GLAD TO SEE YOU GETTING SMARTER EVER DAY! I should have guessed though, considering you try and make everyone smarter with locks 🤭🤭😏😏😉
Nautical locks.
“What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!” So poignant with this video as the backdrop. Great video in an amazing series, Destin, thanks!
17:22 I honestly couldn’t see that float until you zoomed in and drew a circle around it; these coastguards must have super vision to do this job; I’m amazed at how good they are at it!
no life
