Riding a Cheap Bamboo Train Until a Big Train Comes

In this episode on Tekniq, we see two transportation methods: one to transport passengers on the rail in Cambodia and the other to transport drinking water to rural parts of the Philippines. Let's see how bamboo trains in Cambodia use the rail tracks to become an attraction for tourists. Additionally, we'll explore the genius tactics of two local boys to move around using a Kariton cart.

The second part with the water transporters looks like rural Palawan outside of Puerto Princesa city. I have been witness to this and many other innovative ways the people got things done in the area. It may be primitive, but it works!

[@boytongo]

No.. This is in Puerto, part of cagayan de oro in mindanao... They are fetching water from low lying lands to be brought uphill. That road leads to Bukidnon province that is so mountainous in nature...

[@REMdonor]

@portsidebear i've been there! i stayed in el nido for a while. have you seen the subterranean river?

[@HemiJoel]

In my country, we transport clean water much more efficiently: in underground pipes.

[@ehombane]

@@HemiJoel Yep, and how many years and how much investment was needed? Those guys made that cart from scrap in few hours. I assume that you do not understand the power of capital and good administration. You need both to have a good infrastructure. An by the way of pipes. I remember some initiative of some westerners to help some african villagers. They ”invented” a selftransporting barrel. Actually a barrel with ballbearings at ends, that was dragged by dragging it. better than transporting the water on the heads as villagers did. But the method was stupid and wasteful. Barrels needed to be thicker to resist on road, and hence expensive. And even more expensive because they overcharged, funds being raised through donations. All that plastic could be used simpler as a pipe, resist much longer. And even pumping by hand, would have used a lot less human energy. But that thing looked like a scam. An cheap and efficient system could not bring asa much funds to the scammers.

You're so stuck in the women are victims bubble you can't see anything other than man is bad woman is victim. Grow up. My point being that man's wife is willing to do life threatening stuff for him and she sees it as nothing more than doing her part as does he. Western women think they're Disney princesses that are being enslaved if you ask them to help by doing their part. Enjoy your little fantasy world tho and call me sexist.
