I was thinking, I'm about to build a market garden with swales AND I'm going to use a tractor, so why not build little bridges for my little tractor? Do you know someone who has done this before? 6:05

Thank you so much! I worked with swales on dry sandy soil and now I have the opportunity to work with a wet swampy landscape and there’s not much information so far how to manage an abundance of water thruout the year. Thx 💜👌

Great stuff, thanks!! What species of willow are you using?

18 THOUSAND pounds for a heating pump? I assume you misspoke and meant 18 hundred pounds? (the super fancy water-air heating systems should last a lot longer than 10 years, even the pump I believe)

Old fashioned light bulbs can help heat small areas, if you at least have electricity.

The pot can double as a stove.

No heating , more bust pipes!

Great job!! Awesome work 😊

Here's no.11 Its better in terms of particulate pollution because rocket burner has such a hot burn chamber, it combusts all the fuel including smoke, a well running rocket burner should only produce gas as a by product. This means your chimney should be clean, or at least need cleaning much much less. Apart from start up, there should be no smoke.

God that giant stone sofas in the wrong place.. lets move it.. (j/k)

A reducing tesla valve in the mass (bench) and opposite at the intake should give the exhaust more time to heat the mass and the latter valve should prevent the expected back draft , hoping to book a stay with you sometime to get your opinion on that and so much more

Im think of a design to 3d model which would be a castable hybrid of a rocket mass heater and a tesla valve, the issue is what to cast it with, sugar water and a bit of nitric acid forms a very insulating heat resistant material when baked although there most be an easier diy refractory cement to try

I'm convinced, I've bought the book, I have a couple of fresh oil drums, but I don't have a source of clay soil for the cob to make the bench. Our soil is just very, very stony, Yes, do have plenty of rock and stone to put in the thermal mass, but any recommendations for the clay component?

This has been on my list for my cabin from the start. I'm getting on in age, and the effort of hauling and splitting large log rounds will not be sustainable for me, long term. I can easily find all the fuel I need from forestry service slash piles, nearly free for the taking. A five cord wood permit is a few dollars, and all that they ask is to not leave a mess behind. One thing I've seen complaints about is the visuals of the barrel. Its very easy to have a metal shop roll a sheet of decorative perforated metal into a cylinder you can drop over the main drum and you have a very attractive heater that won't detract from the rooms aethetics at all. Also if you plan your heat bank dimentions correctly, a couple of baby crib mattresses make excellent cushions, very easy to sew covers for.

Built one here in Cornwall, the furnace was a "Gamera" and a 12ft cob bench. Me and the wife made it, we are about the furthest away from calling ourselves engineers, we just had blind faith. It works so well, boils a kettle quicker than an electric kettle and when the mass finally gets heated, last for hours. A fantastic system, cannot recommend them highly enough. PS....got a great "cob" supplier here in Cornwall

This heating solution is really bad for people who don't want to be care free and toasty.

lowest carbon footprint

cardboard and paper waste is no longer a waste

I’ve used the first method with full fat milk, after separation I have a slight yoghurt type smell the the LABS and it’s very slightly cloudy, is it OK OR HAVE I MESSED UP?

Regarding wax myrtle, I would have thought that your winters were too cold for them. Listed as USDA Zone 7 at the coldest.

For some of your viewers in the US, it may be relevant to know that Autumn Olive is subject to legal restrictions as an "invasive" in some states. I live in Michigan where it is thoroughly demonized and people can be quite irrational about it, and it's illegal to propagate.

Love your stove! I made a basket to burn wood pellets in my RMH ! Works fantastic. Looking for wild alternatives to pellets.

I wouldn't feel safe using this. They have so many reasonably priced wood stoves that it's just not smart to NOT purchase one. 😉

Could you put tea pot on top to warm up at same time🥺

If for any reason you don't go for a terrarium heater, consider a chicken brooder device. There are some with a flat surface that can be angled, and they certainly don't get very hot. Since I have a new puppy that has to be crated of an evening and all night, I just bought one and plan to set it up to my left where it can help keep my feet warm - and it will also benefit the crated puppy to my right. But it's where she can't reach it either. Of course I'm probably being over cautious in not wanting her to be cold, bc she is putting on a warm winter coat as hunting dogs tend to do. I will have to admit that the brooder heater does use 125 watts though. .................................................... Came back to add a few things asap. ........ Dogs & cats make good bed warmers. .......... Ladies sanitary pads make great shoe sole liners - the military sometimes uses them for that. ........... Also keep an elaborate first aid kit on hand bc if any body parts get injured and you can't take care of yourself for a long time, you're likelier to freeze to death. .......... For that reason also keep tampons handy; military uses them to plug bullet wounds in an emergency, but they'd be helpful with any kind of free bleeding wound. ............. Lastly, look at all the sand heaters on yt and learn to make one. They're fantastic.

Hot rocks is the best solution. Big fire outside that you cycle fire bricks in\out of. I heated a tiny house with just a kitchen bowl of rocks, got legit hot in there, had to open it up to the air. After a couple hours you wrap a stone in a towel and get hours more lap heat, so nice. Some of the oldest ways are still the best. Candles are dumb imo, good for light, but they release soot into the air. Hot rocks are clean and easy and effective.

How people live a room this small ? One which is newly insulated? I have tired this many time's and is an absolute waste of time and candles. Better to light the candles and heat up your hands

Respect mate I’ve not long found your channel I’m just a woodland enthusiast hobby tree nursery man Gorilla planting trees around my estate. The council built a anti travellers mound 10mtrs wide and the whole length on the edge of my estate about 1500-2000mtrs long Just clay mixed with bricks lol but it’s become my tree planting playground. 100s of oaks from 2022 mass year( all called QE2) Loads of different species. Love your channel mate getting loads of ideas You are literally doing what I want to do so stealing I’m stealing a lot of your ideas

looks amazing i would like to make one of these but i have an honest question how do you clean it and how often?

Have you tried it with other trees apart from willow? I will be giving this a go with birch. My pal has a lot of birch thickets that need thinning out. Optimal size?

Will it work with preserving meat?

Than you for showing us that experiment and especially the carbon monoxide issue which is of great importance.

God bless.

I just finished my rocket mass heater and found your series of videos very useful. Glad it's still cranking out the heat!🔥

I'm building a rocket mass heater to soley heat my water...using a cast iron bath and thermo-syphoning. Should end up with 400L of piping hot water. 🙂

Hurray!

That's not a lite saber, that's a sonic screwdriver lol

I hope a hundred million people see this video!

I truly hope the winds that blow bring me to the Cairn of Dunn Croft one day. I appreciate your content and spirit, and I hope to one day shake your hand and buy you a pint! Well done!

You mentioned having some of the old vinegar or mother you add in or about buying a bottle of the stuff with the mother in but I missed when you add it if you want to use it Does it get added at the start with the fruit or only added after you strain the fruit out weeks later?

2:41:06 Off topic, but I would love to see a better shot of that ink!😊

This is amazing and thank you for the details! It wonderful to be able to follow in the footsteps of those who walk the walk and don’t just talk the talk😊 and Cattails… who knew??? 😮

can you do new vlog on heating please , cost over £1 per hour to stay warm ❄🥶. here in 2024

My goodness, you confised me with the title! As one in the The States, American Elder implies a hardwood tree that grows to a massive size. I thought you knew something that I didn't about using them as a food source! 😂 It only took the herbalist in me a few minutes to understand that you were discussing what we call elderberry bushes! I'm 2 years into my food forest and, regardless of the occasional difference in vocabulary, I'm very much enjoying your channel! Much peace and abundance to you!🕊️✨

I have been doing this to maintain my living space since last year. Once I use Central heating to raise the temp these candles 4 of them with 8 hour burn time ,maintains the temperature till bed time. I am now looking at spirit burners and Sand Trays heated on a wood burner outside then stacked in my lounge.

Hi can you make a video of how to make a serum in agarwood iniculation?

Can this serum can be used in agarwood iniculation?
