 What's going on guys? At this point you may be wondering why is Rafe sitting next to a toilet? Why is his camera set up in the bathroom with the toilet being featured? So a couple months ago with the toilet paper crisis I began to ask myself okay how do I become more self-sufficient and not just become you know a victim to all these shortages and things that are happening all around us constantly and that are as our lives are changing because of this pandemic and stuff that's going on and for me the easy response to you know not being sure of whether I'm gonna there's gonna be enough toilet paper and instead of having to let that be an anxiety for me I was trying to think of solutions and I thought well why don't I just get a bidet because that would kind of solve the problem of 90 percent of toilet favorite use would be to have a bidet and then you just use a little bit of paper to basically pat yourself dry instead of using it to clean yourself and using actual water is a lot more effective cleaning yourself down there than dry paper doesn't even make sense right so I've been waiting to get my bidet and I got it here finally it came in the mail and I thought why not share my attempt at trying to set up this thing I hope it'll be easy and quick and simple but I have no idea and I'm not used to doing stuff like this so we're just gonna kind of have to see how it goes all right let's do it all right so let's open this bad boy up here is the actual bidet piece that's going to go on the toilet here pipe attachments instructions okay so let me start by taking off this toilet seat cover let those guys off and then hey that just snaps right off super easy how does this okay so I'm gonna have to unscrew these put them back over this and that'll be good cool so the bowl is possible I think that should be good right there now put this back on I think that's pretty straight works with this works pretty good aesthetically it looks good but I feel like this is the easy part that's in controls this is the angle of the nozzle and now the tricky part I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little nervous about this okay directions all right here we go direction these turn off water valve the valve is tight there may be some mineral build up this way okay hopefully that's the right way they don't know is there no sign on it okay the direction says to go clockwise to make it go off flush your toilet to drain the tank completely hold down that flush until the tank empties nearly completely a couple inches of water at the bottom of the tank is okay though flush all the water out I'm not refilling with water so that must mean that the water is off next remove toilet seat oh I already did that I have a problem with just reading all the instructions first I just tend to jump in which is silly but here we are disconnect the existing flexible hose from your toilet tank by turning it counterclockwise counterclockwise looks like I might need a tool for that which will be this bad boy counterclockwise is it gonna fit in there maybe not we have to use pliers or just a towel counterclockwise okay that is removed as you can see and now attach the flexible hose to the bottom of the mega adapter this is the piece that they're talking about right now it's got a little washer ring on it got it got it I gotta attach this to this bad boy very good got that on there attach the flexible steel hose steel hose to the mega adapter side connection user wrench to tighten if necessary but don't remember don't overtighten how do I know if I'm overtightening okay that seems nice and tight yeah nice and tight hand tighten the other end of the flexible steel hose to the connection use a wrench to tighten if necessary okay attaching it to the bidet okay I think that's pretty good I attach it to the toilet okay here goes last step okay a little tighter let's turn the water on hopefully it doesn't leak everywhere look at that it's alive oh my god oh my god it's working okay cool there's no leakage in the toilet bowl now I want to test it but I don't want to test it without spraying my face with water or getting it everywhere hmm I need a shield of some sort maybe just this uh Duke Duke just farted you just farted buddy I'm recording a vlog have you no respect let's see I'm gonna hold this towel up then I'm going to bum wash there's an option for bum wash we're gonna try and get out it works it works it works clean butts for everyone and then there's an option to wash the nozzle which works too I guess in case there's like doodoo that gets on the nozzle because you had an explosive poo it just washes itself amazing yay how cool is that voila yeah that's it I guess because I'm not going to show you actually using it that's awkward so I guess I want to sum this up by saying that there are a lot of things that are changing right now in the world and a lot of things that are excuse me and a lot of things that could potentially make our lives a lot more stressful and difficult but now is the time to get creative now is the time to reevaluate what we have deemed as normal and necessary in our lives and so when you are presented with such situations or problems like for example toilet paper scarcity and shortages and hoarding for me like obvious solution was to try to find a way to not be dependent on toilet paper so that made me think of a bidet I ordered a bidet here it is I installed it it was that easy as you guys could see and now I have a solution it's going to wipe out 90% of my need for toilet paper um and I encourage you guys to do the same and if you think you know if you're able to invest in something like a bidet and you can attach it really easily like that then then do it why not instead of having to stress about whether you're going to have toilet paper at the end of the day and that's also why I created a vertical herb garden by my kitchen I posted that on instagram my stories and stuff so some of you saw that but that was just another way of me saying hey you know there's food shortages why not try to make even tiny steps to mitigate that by having my own herb garden that I can pull from and using my cooking now that I'm cooking at home more and on top of that it's fun to take care of plants and it's also elevates my mood and the energy in my home just to have living plants around so it's also like good psychologically anyway that's my rant for the day I hope you guys enjoyed this video check around I'll have more content for you as always and stay safe stay healthy and stay solution oriented peace guys cheers
