If you have 2 compost bins, one in use and one stays empty. If you turn it into the empty one every 6 months, it's compost so much quicker.

country of origin?

The law around property that people privately on in the UK is a badly written joke. Just to exit in peace in the UK is a genuine challenge unless you pay through the nose beyond reasonable affordability.

It’s an interesting approach but sadly is not compliant with UK pollution laws….. you could be prosecuted. Is it likely to happen no but it’s still not right to shortcut because you can’t afford a proper solution as the reality is you are putting your own health and ever body else downstream at risk!

Help!! I’m trying to achieve this! Where did you find the land? How did you get around planning permission, are you using solar?

What's the point buying a piece of land if you can't use it freely due to too many restrictions? Doesn't make sense.

Too many restrictions in the UK for people who just want a simple life.

You use as much kindling as my wife...save some for the next fire. Too much paper too. I dont have 20 minutes to get a fire going either. That being said, good video.

Simply doesnt work with our hardwoods in Australia

On a morning restart, I lay one sugar pine cone in the remaining coals and add my 🪵, bingo it’s going. I will definitely try your technique on a cold start though.

13:59 So I’ll need to look after the emotional wellbeing of neighbours. If they invested emotional security in there never being a cabin where I build one, the truth of me building saves them from a false investment, but reveals any perceived entitlement that might drive them to be angry. Now, looking after their emotional wellbeing does not seem to be my responsibility, and could be a sin if I do so.

Do you not harvest rainwater runoff?

I’m going to give it a try today but I can’t think it will have an advantage over the more traditional method, I will let you know ,

Wow we learned that wood burns when exposed to flames, excellent job thank you for your contributions to science.

"Least amount of work" Are you high?

The hottest part of a flame/flames is at the top so it’s best to light the fire from the bottom if you want to create heat fastest.

It's something that can be prepped ahead of time and made ready to go with lighting it and then doing stuff nearby while it starts up with little attention needed.

Great content. Thanks! Am I missing something or was "Terminology" spelled wrong 3 minutes in on the yellow title screen?

이 반대로 하면 시간절약! 😝🥳🎉💥

Preferably not paper

Hi, I enjoyed your video, I find the time lapse versions nothing different to a pop video but you go into detail the good and bad of your achievements and I found it interesting and enjoyed your progression throughout, so I am a self builder and built all my own campervans and the shower you made, I decided not to put a shower in mine just a toilet and wet room and I had a 2ltr bottle with holes drilled and used it for nearly 10 years happily and yes it makes you realise how much water we waste daily, but great build and hope you have many happy years enjoying it Regards James

Reed bed better have the Reed bed overflowing to a veg garden your own waste will grow good veggies

Well right now in early February we're experiencing 70 degree weather. When it changes back to normal i might try it.

Unlawful - means you see yourself and the land you have obtained as under the jurisdiction of higher legal authority. This could be where you're going wrong.

amazing content..... i don't know if you are be able to reply, but if i have my residence into town and i want to have a pieace of land in the country side to grow stuff for my self, can i put a caravan just for use it few time if i'm too tyred to go back home? i'm not talking about moving there but just using it for one i need to stay a little longer when i'm working on the land... not for actually living it full time. can i leave the caravan there just parked out for more than 28 days?

Just found your channel and binged your build series 😅 thanks for sharing!

Oh i would love this, my son and have trued to get land so we could, but its been so hard. So i have had to stay here in france and he is now out of the army and gone self employed, ended up renting in England.. good luck to you.

Amazing - so well done.

The smell is the most pleasant smell ever, and on top of the heat the wood burning stove generates, it is a feeling that is very euphoric.

I do something like this daily. But I do two logs separated by a gap, and place paper and cross cross kindling in the gap

Adored this video - just what I was looking for. So interesting to see how you prepared and fit the log burner. Thank you

So long winded ! 😂

У FB у групі Пічники України також бачила такий спосіб запалювання печі

So three large wet logs and burning half the supplies in your home is definitely completely wrong.

Completely backwards from the way I was taught. Looks like it uses more kindling. But it also looks like a much more efficient way of getting heat faster, without standing or sitting there tending to it, to make sure it caught the big pieces. And I save brush and sticks for kindling anyway, so I always have plenty. Very cool 👍

Absolutely gorgeous I have a large brick out building in my garden you have given me some great ideas.

This will only work if you add some oil

I light with much less kindle

Been doing this top down fire technique, outside, all year and it never fails

Thanks. Very helpful. Appreciate it.

WHY DO WE HAVE TO DO SO MUCH

Does this apply to any other country?

No paper for cat stoves

I loved your vid, I like your style and you can park up in my back garden anytime mate, if only there were more people like you in the world, it would be a better place for all of us. You talk real sense. I wish you well.

So basically you are saying its impossible so why try or buy your book????

Been burning for years, I thought you were going to teach me something new! And by the way, I don’t use wadded up paper to start the fire, I use a hand full of wood shavings from processing firewood, or from my wood shop, from either the lathe or the “smoothing table” ( plane shavings) that have seasoned ( garlic onions, black pepper and come cayenne) and dried in the shed, one match and up it goes! Yes, I do set up for a top down, but also layer my shavings through out the kindling stack! Adds heat quicker and burns for 1/2 hour before needing to tend to the fire!

wet logs on the bottom?

It's our birth right from God to be entitled to land to live off so who are we buying the land from? Once you own the land you need planning permission, what does it have to do with the government or local authorities what you build on your own land? Who are they to dictate what you can and can't do on your OWN land! And people think we live in a free country 🤦‍♂️

Nice video. As a tall slender man myself I was impressed with your work wear, where did you get it from??

running a wood stove for 40 years , i just fire the stuff in there and it burns .
