Hello everyone welcome back to the channel and welcome back to another video. This one is the 10,000 subscriber giveaway as well as some spearfishing basics and what I take with me on a shortive. Now one of the main things you need when you go shortiveing is a float or you know a boy of some kind to let other people know where you are when you're in the water. I'm currently going to talk to you through three different ways I use the marker boy went out on a shortive. The first option is attaching your float line and your float to the end of your gun. Now what you need to do for this is make a loop. Is that in focus? Yeah so I've just made a steel loop at the bottom which basically allows me to take the tuniclip and simply attach that on and away I go. Now it's nice and simple the tuniclips are spring loaded so you literally push them back slide that on to whatever you've got there and there we have it it's attached. This is a great option to secure the gun to the line of the float and if your fish for example runs into a wreck or a reef and gets caught then you can let go the gun and come back once you've had another breather. Another benefit of having your gun set up like this where it's attached to the float line is when you've got a fish you're in the process of taking off the floppor you can actually let go of the spear and the gun itself and deal with the fish and you know that at the end of your float line your gun still will be there attached. I have actually had that situation I shot myself a bass on it out on a reef and it was quite a strong tide so what happened is I dive down shot the fish and I wasn't used to that really strong tide so when I took spear out of the fish I normally let go of the spear and have the line in between my legs whilst I deal with the fish but what happened is I drifted a long way off the reef so it was about 20 30 meters deep at that point and I didn't have the real loose so what happened is the spear sank all the way down to the bottom of the floor snagged on some some kelp and with the tide it drifted the gun so the gun and the line and the spear sat at about a 45 degree angle underwater and I didn't have a clue where it was luckily we found it again because it's still here but yeah just a good bit of advice is to attach that onto the onto the float line and float. What I'm disabantage of having the float line attached to your gun is if you don't have enough meterage on the float line say you're diving to 25 meters and you've got 24 meters of line when you go to shoot or when you go to straighten that gun out you'll find especially with the wind and the tide that will be drifting the float on the surface now your gun's going to be constantly being tugged like this and it could make you miss a fish. Now the second option and I'm going to contradict myself now but is to attach the float line to a weight or an anchor of some kind this one-kilo weight probably isn't heavy enough for this this board but as an example this is what you can do I've got a bit of line here which I've tied around the weight and all you do then is you get your tuniclip and you clip that on and you let that sink and you swim and dive around the sunken weight. Now this method is really good for marking the likes of lobster holes or if you're on a specific area of a pinnacle that you like and there's a lot of fish then you can mark it with this and every time you resurface do your breathe up and go back down all you need to do is follow the float line back to the exact place. Now the third option similar to the second but this time this weight is attached to your belt and is part of your belt. I'll put a loop on the one of the weights normally in the like towards the front of my belt where I can access it by either my left or my right hand. I have a loop on the belt and I can attach the float line to my belt or to my body. If the worst was to happen and my body needed to be recovered then all the coast guards would have to do is find the float. The end of it I would be still attached to the float whereas if you're not attached to the float and you're out on your own and something happens and your gun's just attached to it you know you pass out wherever you let go of the gun and your body will just drift off and they would pull up the rope to hopefully find someone on the end of it and it would just be your gun with a little rass on the end. I'll quickly talk over the float and why I use this one. I've got to attach to this then obviously I've got the diaphragm to let people know where I am or what I'm doing in the water. I've got a laundry bag attached to the top of my diaphragm here. Now that's perfect for scone ups, crabs, lobsters or you know I even put fish in there. Now the other good thing about having a a board like this is you can attach multiple guns onto the float. Now I haven't actually finished it off yet but I'm going to get some velcro straps to put here and here. I took the front to the back which means I can have you know my main gun attached to it like this when I walk out to the location that I'm diving and depending on the conditions if it's really good visibility obviously I'll use my big gun and if it's rubbish visibility I'll put on a small gun which again can just be attached like that and then you can swim out, chop and change the guns which you're using throughout the day and have them secured on the board ready to go. So if you're short diving somewhere very close to the car park the best thing to do is pump it up at the car as you pick the board up and you can sling it just like a rucksack like that and walk off to wherever you need to go and it's very light it's barely it's probably about a kilo and a half if you're now for the part I'm sure most of you have been waiting for which is the 10,000 subscriber giveaway. Now I couldn't quite decide on exactly what to use as a prize as there were so many different comments to make this a lot easier I'm going to include a £100 gift voucher for spearfishing UK and this will mean you can use this on their website and buy anything you want as long as it comes in under £100. All you need to do is be subscribed to my youtube channel the second thing you need to do is share this video or one of my videos on your social media and the third thing to do is comment on the video this can be whatever comment you want some it funny some in outrageous I don't mind just you need to do all three to be eligible to win the £100 gift voucher. So two weeks from this point I will announce the winner of the competition and I'll do this either by making a video and putting it up on my youtube channel or leaving a message on the community tab of the youtube channel again.
