Rebuilding Atlantis Episode 4 Part 1

[@hyperboreanforeskin]

looks like every property you see on an episode of COPS right before they find the meth.

[@RebuildingAtlantis]

I've never seen an episode of cops that's outside of a city. I don't even drink caffeine. So why is it people like you have drugs on your brain? Probably because you got drugs in your brain.

[@brettdixon5198]

Looks awesome, that’s what I call freedom

You know if you bury that IBC tote that you're storing your RV water in, it will help keep the water cooler and "fresher" longer as well as let you fill it via gravity and a 1-1/2" pipe instead of having to use a garden hose and that janky ass drill?

[@maddhatter3564]

NEVER bury a tote

[@edwardnigma2216]

@@maddhatter3564 Use your head while doing it and it'll be fine. Or, you can just be an internet expert with no real world experience and say "NEVER bury a tote".

@@edwardnigma2216 maybe YOU should research before calling names coward.Ive been off grid since 2012 and have a lot of experience in water storage, how much do YOU have "expert?"

@@edwardnigma2216 LOL a keyboard warrior calling ME out. thats hillarious.

[@todddon]

The trailer is to take the tote into town to fill, the drill pump is to empty the tote into the RV. I paint my totes with aluminum paint to keep out the light, thus the algae.

[@doni1602ify]

I grew up as a child in Sanderson, TX a little east of there. Hard land to live in but it is doable I have family and friends that made homes out there.

[@maddhatter3564]

HF makes a 12 volt inline pump thats more efficient. The drill pupm is cool for small jobs not a 300+ gallon tank. Offgrid in the permian basin since 2012. love the views of your area.

[@RebuildingAtlantis]

I know the pump you're talking about and actually it's slower but soon i'm getting the 2700gph ac powered pump from HF

[@maddhatter3564]

@@RebuildingAtlantis just a tip HF fountain pumps are good very low wattage pumps, i use 1 in my evap cooler (less than half the wattage of a stock evap pump and fully submersible)

[@hilo4noff1]

Oh, another idea that worked out for us, all volkswagons used to be shipped to the states with a solar battery maintainer plugged into the cigarette lighter. It's like a 14 by 12" affair with suction cups on the solar side to attach inside of the windshield to keep the batteries up to charged for the journey to the u.s. they really work and are the perfect thing for the task. Like a trickle charger powered by the sun. I'm sure someone has replicated the idea by now for vehicles that are only driven occasionally, or in long term "repair". Or check with the local vw dealer they might have a shelf still full of them hanging around.

[@RebuildingAtlantis]

I had one, but someone stole it. A guy named Bill Addington stole many things from me.

[@maddhatter3564]

still cheaper per w/h to buy bigger units online. typical battery maintainer is 5-15 watts. you can get 100watt panels online for bout $70

[@brettdixon5198]

I really enjoy your videos, you need to do them more often.

[@RebuildingAtlantis]

I was having problems with my phone storage, That's why my last video got cut short. Was also having problems with my phone battery so I cleaned up the storage on my phone and also got a 2nd phone to use. With 2 phone I should be able to make multiple videos per day!

[@maddhatter3564]

To all viewers. no permits to build in many West Texas counties but you NEED a permit for anything underground(well, ceptic etc.)

[@RebuildingAtlantis]

Not here in Hudspeth County. If you want to connect to the electrical grid, they won't give you service until you have a septic but most people use solar anyways.

[@maddhatter3564]

@@RebuildingAtlantis maybe here too idk. thats why i got an RV. no ceptic tank needed if you live in RV.

How much did the 20 acres cost you if you dont mind me asking. Thanks

[@RebuildingAtlantis]

$18,900. My annual property tax is $153

[@SomethingToday30]

I could afford to live there lol

[@RebuildingAtlantis]

@fuquetoob bought it in November 2019. I'm 8.5 miles from Sierra Blanca, TX and that's where the water company is.

[@scottbradford192]

Amazing. Austin Here. Wish I could do this but it's just too far of a drive@@RebuildingAtlantis

[@UnitedWeStand2020]

@@RebuildingAtlantis Was curious to know. Thanks for the reply. I'm sure cost has gone up since then due to the last 3 years of tyranny in the USA. So you have to buy water, there's no community well out there? I've been searching for affordable property but it's been impossible to find any the last 5 years.

You should call it My Town.

[@thomaskitz1185]

are there wolves oer scorpions or snakes or lizards there < ?

[@RebuildingAtlantis]

Don't think we have any wolves. We do have rattlesnakes and scorpions and many lizards. The snakes aren't a danger they want to be left alone. It's why they have a rattle And the poisonous scorpion is very tiny and only comes out at night. Just don't walk around barefoot at night and you'll never have a problem. The other lizards are super cool!

Looks like a trash dump in the desert, just what the world needs.

[@RebuildingAtlantis]

Obviously you're a very ignorant person metal isn't trash, metal is natural. You should be more concerned about the pollution your automobile produces and the pollution caused by the electricity you use in your home. I use solar. I guarantee your carbon footprint greatly exceeds mine.

[@edwardnigma2216]

@@RebuildingAtlantis My carbon footprint GREATLY exceeds yours, yet I still manage to get off my ass and clean up my yard. It's not just the random piles of metal. It's the trash, the shoes, the random peices of crap you've left lying everywhere. Yes, it does look like a trash dump in the desert...

[@maddhatter3564]

@@RebuildingAtlantis still looks mess, It does look like you are early in the building tho. I was similar (tho not quite as scattered as i do have neighbors). Just a thought. I found 12v 100 watt panels on amazon for $70. Im looking into expanding my system as well (currently 1.3KW.)BTW you gotta pull it together, what possessed you to leave a charge control on the ground to be rained on and sun baked..oh and sand blasted?

[@RebuildingAtlantis]

@maddhatter3564 cool! I have 2 100w panels. I've had 1 of the panels for 10 years already! I was using 1 of them to charge my truck battery because I wasn't using the truck for extended intervals. I use the KLR250.

[@maddhatter3564]

@@RebuildingAtlantis even old panels do most of their rated even after 10-20 years. just remember if you start with 100 watt, stay with 100 watt unless you use a sepperate charge controller (lost 2x 250 watt panels by using same charge controller with 100 watt panels). If you need any advice on bigger systems let me know ive been doing this since 2012.

Wrong... Thats a fking mess, and exactly why we who live on the road get a bad reputation ... shit scattered out over a quarter mile .... Nothing you can say can justify the mess you have generated, we all have seen camps like this while living on the road, and everyone knows whats up, just like everyone knows that you'll leave a fking mess when you leave that area.. seen this to man times.

[@RebuildingAtlantis]

Gosh, you're ignorant. 🤣 why would I ever leave my ranch? You're jealous because your only option is living on the streets. 😆😂 I could have deleted your comment but I think it's better if I leave it up for everyone to see. 😘

[@1god2674]

I think you're getting those comments because your channel is called rebuilding Atlantis and people think of Atlantis is a beautiful place and what you got going on is not a beautiful place I'm not disparaging you or telling you to clean up your mess I'm just saying why people saying such things You could put some pretty things there Or try to be creative but what do you think people want Watch a guy with trash everywhere or watch a guy making a place pretty Anyways I hope you can build something good there

[@RebuildingAtlantis]

Rebuilding is an indication that it isn't completed. Every construction site has construction materials and equipment. I don't care what people's opinions are because I know what i'm doing. They only make themselves look like idiots.
