It seems like our world is constantly on fire. If you live in California, Oregon, Washington, Canada, Australia, or anywhere else on the globe that’s regularly choked by wildfires, you’re all-too-aware of the importance of effective firefighting strategies.
Dry brush, unattended campfires, and even gender reveal fireworks gone awry are enough to set a forest ablaze. 90% of all wildfires are caused by human error, but what if we had a manmade solution that could put out flames with 10 times the strength of water?
Strong Water has created a cutting edge water technology that looks like slime, acts as a fire retardant, and is 100% biodegradable, non-toxic, and on-demand. In this episode of the Hard Reset Podcast, our hosts sit down to discuss how it could change our world.

I would like to see a study done on long-term effects that the slime could possibly have on the human body. Considering the fact that I am a volunteer firefighter and could still possibly have symptoms arise from using their last invention/solution that is known as firefighting foam. The foaming agent works and works well. Unfortunately, it works on us, too. Only it slowly puts our fire out, and we have just recently found out about its effects. Now, I know we regularly take chances and put ourselves in harm's way where things could turn south and end very badly. It's just that we know that that is a very real possibility every time we roll out on a call, but it's a choice we make. With most of these new untested products, we are told that they are safe, for us, and the environment. This is just one of the many reasons why I have little to no faith in most regulatory agencies. They lie about doing sufficient studies and take "legal" payoffs by poisoning those they love the most right along with countless innocent bystanders if the deposit into their account is large enough to fill that empty void that was originally designed to carry compassion. Like most, unfortunately, their business model is money over people. I mean, look what's currently going down on an international level. The largest transfer of wealth in our history. People are hurting and in trouble, and these assholes keep digging that hole deeper, looking for one more dollar to stuff in their pockets. These people are not elites. They only think that they are because people foolishly accept it and constantly insist on calling them that. If one realistically believes that they are a higher form, then carry-on, I guess. But, if you know as I do, they are nothing special and will be fed back to this earth just as you and I. Nothing matters in the end. Speaking of the end, before I go off on some other subject, I'm gonna quit rambling and just shut up now. ✌🏻
A new study shows one long-term effect of the foam is rambling....
@@richarddevenezia8186 lol the half of me that doesn't ramble on wants to believe that this is a legitimate probability.
Barely watching this, but all I'm thinking about how often products containing fire retardants are later found to lead to increased cancer risks.
Never mind suppression and prevention, how about management? When forests aren't ever allowed to burn naturally, then the flammable fuel builds up to the point that when a fire does get going, it really gets going.
Not even just burning naturally, but controlled burns, cultural burns (i.e. direct indigenous land management, which is proven to be most effective at fire prevention and woodland/ecosystem health). This tech can be great in a pinch, especially as a safer alternative to PFAS-loaded fire suppressants, but it may well simply enable the perverse incentives you mention.
Wondering if aloe vera gel would work
It makes the fire just smoother.
Looking at the general attitude in the USA to rather have a “quick and dirty” fix than a get to a solution that works long time does not make me hopeful that the later will be tackled. Especially as the fix is something you earn on for many years while the solution will cost money and does not create income for companies…
Best example are overland energy lines that year in and out result in huge fires….
So how do you integrate tools into something else you can ignore on a daily basis?
Is anyone looking into adding some formulation of this to house paint or roof shingles?
Well, we *do* need to save the live.

You've linked to the wrong episode in the description. It's currently pointing to the AMP Robotics episode.
🤣🤣
What happened to the diet plan you were on
interesting technology and revolutionary way of thinking. what remains is to be tested and checked for it's real "environmental properties" and then puss it forward to fight with fires.
How did Toby go from looking like 23 to looking like 53.
Autonomous ai powered solar rechargeable drones responding to lightning strikes with fire retardant
Would have liked a real l;ife demo
Im not first, im firstest.

Our Mother Earth has a fever she can’t control the human virus has taken its toll.
complexity has a cost, the human population isnt high enough. nature is like politics compromise and cohabitation doesnt really work you have to pick your poison by letting some areas go all out one way while another area goes all out in another way if they are connected well enough then people and resources will migrate as needed but some people plants and animals just cant cohabitate so its better to "cohabitate" from a distance. mother earth is a rock life existing at all or reaching certain levels of complexity and coevolution is more than enough for her contentment
Men invented this😅
