Dave drags a Tektronix TDS220 oscilloscope through 7km of mud at the 2014 Sydney Mud Run.
Raising money for the NSW Cancer Council.
Along with Klein Tools MM500 rugged multimeter also:

Shot with an Olympus Tough TG-850 camera.
Next video, dry out TDS, plug in, LOL.
Well done Dave!
A tear down, see if the Tek fires up?
Nice one Dave.
That multimeter and scope will now make for a good teardown tuesday
.
Well done Dave! Now get some warm water, drink it a lot and rest for the night, so you are chipper for Sunday.
Reminds me of the military "Fun Run" which was pretty much everything but, but at least there you do not have barbed wire.
Ahahah, awesome, Dave! Wish we had events like this here.. In the summer... When it's not as cold as -25 degrees.....
Anyway, can you violate your "don't turn it on" rule on the scope and see if it works without cleaning and so?
Great effort Dave, lost too many people I loved to cancer...
Would be interesting to see a teardown of that scope, you may need a roll of kitchen towel and 2 cans of switch cleaner handy though. I bet that after a teardown, clean up it would work again may need a new display.
Hey Dave,
Really enjoyed the video of the mud run and your efforts supporting this amazing cause! Well done! Now be sure to replenish your fluids, get some rest and relaxation. Looking forward to seeing how the scope powers up. I assume you'll open it up first to see if there is any water in it and dry it off? Otherwise it may be interesting to see what happens if there is a short in there somewhere.
Once again, great job!
They could hear me laughing down the hall. Awesome video, I loved seeing the TDS-220 submerge!!!
Well done Dave, much appreciated effort from a cancer survivor. Will be interesting to see if that scope will work again, and how accurate is the meter after all that.
That was quite good audio and video quality considering the conditions.
Is this the event Daily Planet was supposed to cover?
Bwahaaha! Video of the year this one.
That bunny suit looks surprisingly mud resistant.
Next step, power up the scope.
Try to clean and dry the scope and plug it in
I'm curious if it still works
How well did the GoPro copy work?
Dave, you are a hero
But I want to see the teardown of that scope after this! It is quite possible that after washing it off and thoroughly drying everything it will still work.
Did I hear right? Did Dave raise $10k out of a $40k total for the event?
Massive well done to you Dave!
awesomely done dude, massive effort
and of course good cause to go to the trouble for i hope you got a lot of fluids back in you and lots of rest and are feeling better mate! poor scope though lol also shame about the factory flotation device
You definitely gave the donors a run for their money.
That was great fun to watch. Thanks Dave for entertaining us and thanks to all who donated to this worthy cause.
Awesome video and like others I would like to see that scope cleaned up and powered up.
Good Video,awesome effort a lot of people are very grateful for the effort you put into the fun run.WELL DONE
Is this the event Daily Planet was supposed to cover?
Yes, but they pulled out last minute due to visa problems or some such.
