Gone with the Wynns · vídeo

Qué cubre este vídeo

Cruisers in the Marquesas, French Polynesia, facing a shortage of commercial cat litter, attempt to use sifted beach pebbles as a reusable, eco-friendly substitute.5:12 After failing to find pine pellets or newspaper for DIY litter, the crew paddles to a beach to collect small rocks, which they sift to remove sand.2:47 The process requires washing the rocks, drying them with a hair dryer, and mixing in baking soda to manage odors.7:20 While the cats accept the substitute, the maintenance is labor-intensive, requiring a constant rotation of wet and dry rocks between colanders and buckets to prevent the buildup of pungent odors.8:36 The rocks track throughout the boat's cabin and deck, and the system proves impractical for use while underway.9:42 The crew concludes that while the method functions in an emergency, it is not a sustainable long-term solution for liveaboards.10:00
