Backyard Inventors

The must-have tool for firefighters everywhere, a hydraulic lawnmower bike and drip-free dish gloves. Which do you think will make it to boot camp?

Engineer Robert De Jong has put a whole lot of work into his impressive hydraulic bike system, Doug is shell shocked when he hears the retail price of this invention.

Knowing when to stop and move on is one of the key lessons. Doug is hoping to teach as he travels across the backyards of Canada.

A redesign of the wheel, an expandable, contractible, washable lunch box, and a shovel and rake combo. Which one do you think will make it to boot camp?

This week Doug is faced with everything from the rake that saves you time, the lunchbox that expands as you see fit and the tricky skateboard that might just take off.

This week's inventions include a new take on the doggy waste bag, a modern umbrella, and a baby changing station. But which will impress Doug enough to make it to the boot camp?
