how they assemble solar panel from wood and dirt???

Would have to be Coober Pedy ( Sth. Australian desert). Maybe you could feature this Off-grid town.

[@sighanblossom5721]

Hey the thumb nail was a good bait aye!

[@jillcostello6669]

I live at Greater World. An Earthship is the best house I have ever lived in. Wish the world could know how great these houses are.

[@blocker1928]

That's great. My wife and I live in one too, it's not done but, it's coming along.

[@TheRealHonestInquiry]

Are you keeping it a secret?

[@blocker1928]

@@TheRealHonestInquiry , no it's no secret. My wife and I live in Montana between the towns of Red Lodge and Belfry.

I would love know more I,m 28 I would like to get the ball rolling soon. Also trying to avoid cult,s lol.

[@firewaterbydesign]

I wish that I was still young enough to do something like this. I wish that I had used my youth to establish a sustainable living environment. It would have been a great way to raise my family.

[@MixasTradgard]

As long as we live we learn and develope. Its never too late as long as you Have a pretty good health. Im 56 and are planning too go off grid soon.

[@fresnoniiji]

Never too late.

Earthships are wonderful. I thank Mike Reynold's every time it is cold outside and I am toasty warm in my earthship.

[@MaN-pw1bn]

There should be more of these communities everywhere!

[@PPCSI133]

its crazy to me how governments and politicians can tell someone what they can and cant do with land that was given to all man kind by mother nature

We need to take back the commons.

Its not crazy, did you not know they are brutal criminals? They will destroy your family if you don't comply

[@WarbossPepe]

I'd love to combine the off-grid and permaculture forces of Mike Reynolds and Geoff Lawton together. They'd create a modern wonder in NewMexico - Earthships and Food Forests

[@OfftheCuff_Series]

That would actually be a really fascinating collab 😳

[@marcgeronimo2997]

I am intending to combine these two elements now for this exact purpose

[@bitkrusher5948]

Except Mike wants to control his vision there some things are not allowed ..Shangrala under his control...is the opposite of freedom.

Yesssss

[@ridingtoantarctica8886]

Doing that right now! We live in an earthship and have completely transformed our desert with everything I learned from Geoff’s year course. Re-greening the desert works!!

[@PaulDewseth]

I'm hoping to build a community that both sustainable and technological. Because as human we should evolve. But seen these things and people are really get in to these it's inspires me more. Thank you for sharing

[@mrdeanvincent]

Technology can do amazing things, but it ALWAYS comes at a cost. Often we don't acknowledge (or even recognise) those costs. And I'm not talking about money... I'm talking about environmental and social costs.

[@TheRealHonestInquiry]

The human being is already the highest technology on the planet and in all likelihood the universe; have you read the user's manual? All other technology stems from this technology, learn to use it and stay away from "technology" that disrupts our own and you will see how truly powerful is the gift you have been given.

[@alexissjc409]

Same here. I want to build a nice, sustainable community, but i dont want it to stagnate.

[@teddyrivas1082]

I drove threw Tao's New Mexico, and I fell in love with its beauty, and said to myself that one day, I'm going to go back to Tao's, and live there! I'm hoping my wish and dream comes true. I'm tired of this Metropolitan fast pace, and wild an crazy life style that ppl have here. It's like they just don't care about anything, nothing! They just want to take and take. And you have nothing to show for it. They don't care what this earth was giving for, for you to enjoy life, not ruin it! Hate it, and this "Greed"! All for themselves and nothing for their fellow man or woman 👩! Really disgusting, and sad as well! Keep up those earth homes, love it, and hope and pray to Almighty that I can own one of these homes soon! God Bless all of yous! And may he keep Blessing you 🙏 yous too!

[@allisonjones-lo6795]

A few years ago I stayed in an Earthship in Taos, NM, USA with 4 other family members. It was late November and we had a blizzard that night. We were so hot (97 F) that night I had to open the cooling tunnel to cool off the house. We slept like so well. The next morning while gazing at all the snow, I picked bananas and other fruits from the greenhouse and made a fruit salad for our breakfast! I love Earthships!

[@teresastanton1140]

They all sound great, closest to Lesquiti.... Have watched many a show on building the earthships and sustainable places made from tires, thick hay filled clay, bottles, wood any materials they can find and use. Love the greenhouse part nothing better growing your own gardens and plants. ❤would love to live at one of these places.❤️🇨🇦❤️

Holy shit like 13 years ago I found this little video series about an eco community starting up in England it’s was such a rollercoaster for them the local community didn’t want them there. And I’m watching this and see the guy from Llamas! So exited to see they’re still going strong. They had a lot of struggles. That just made my day. I wonder if that series is still on KZbin. Totally worth a watch.

[@florianfeuillet.]

Punta Mona in Costa Rica !!! Great video. Thanks !

We’ll look into it :) thanks!!

[@Cidanandas108]

Great vdo. I'm moving to one of such places, where humans are more real.

[@andyzgirl14]

Very interesting and alarming that these governments make it so hard to just be self-sufficient. Also noticed some of the same footage was used for different communities. Looking fwd to getting out in nature and off grid myself.

[@Euphoryaaa]

Seemed to rush through the Ghana one. I wanted to know more. It wasn’t given as much attention as the other off grid communities

[@amakhutmaatityehimba7154]

That’s how I felt! I know of one going on in Ghana that’s hiring but not ready to make that move yet.

I love your work, guys. Keep it up! It's great to see sponsors supporting you as well.

Yeah, the places in the UK are wonderful! Definitely more - we're thinking about doing a video ranking eco-villages. Would you like that??

[@ThatBronxGuhrl]

I want to visit all of these

[@Athenasjam]

I'm not anti government or anything, but I never felt like I belonged in this society. I can build, grow, create, cook, trap, fish, whatever it takes... But I can't stay at a job inside of a building, or be on time, or be around the fake uppity facebook people, or get a sense of appropriate "office attire" apparently. This life is what I'm leaning towards in the future. It's calling me.

[@lydiarowe491]

Knowing that these communities are a success by bringing together those who wish to live off grid bartering raising animals for the production of milk not meat..makes for living with nature very appealing..$s not being the driving force which is what the planet relies on.no thanks….happy days..❤

The thought of breaking away from the mixed bag comfort zone of modern medicine is something that keeps many of us harnessed into the rat race. I'd be interested in hearing a health update for Mr. Reynolds. I do hope he's still feeling well.

[@davidtekaat3910]

We need to build an underground self-sustained community, to protect it from the hotter sun of the future. All water needs to be reclaimed & recycled. No loss of water. Unless you live near the ocean. And you can desalinate ocean water.

[@rantingmum6113]

I'd put the one that also manages to produce more than 75% of its food at the top of 'off grid' lifestyles. I'm 65 yrs of age and was just reflecting on how many tyres I've junked during my lifetime. I suspect it's not enough to build a house. Of course once it's up it should be there for more than one lifetime. In that respect turning the least biodegradable junk into houses is an inspiring idea for now. However one can't forget as a sustainable way of life, it needs junk producers who are somehow managing to drive about in cars and wear out tyres they can afford to throw away. All off griders use plastic pipes, solar panels and metal tools, yet none of then pump oil or mine metal. One can only get so far off the 'grid' or network of human specialisation without drastically limiting ones choices. Even Hunter gatherers who have had sustainable lifestyles for several 100 thousand years are tied into obligations to each other. Obligations which give them far les 'wiggle' room in how they execute them. It's perhaps more helpful to set out from the realisation one can't be totally off the grid of human specialisation, our range of choices are always limited by those of others. Rather than saying 'X' choices are right and 'Y' are wrong we might be better to think about how we can get all our choices to fit together in sustainable ways.

[@dancarter482]

They are totally out of touch with reality - that's what makes them such hard work to be around. There's a great book _The Utopia Experiment_ ~ a really good insight into the whole 'movement.'

[@jamiedorsey4167]

I'd like to live in an off the grid community. I don't think I'd fit in with the people though, the only people doing this sort of thing seem to be hippies or militia types. How about an off the grid community founded by normies and moderates?

[@OfftheCuff_Series]

You should check out the video we did about an off-grid community in Findhorn, Scotland. It may be your answer! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHjNg6Smpql1Y9k&ab_channel=OfftheCuff

[@jillcostello6669]

No I am just average and work at our local hospital.

[@TheRealHonestInquiry]

Your desperation to "fit in" is what makes you a "normie". Why can't you just accept yourself as you are and not give AF what others think of you. You might find the "you" that you're suppressing in order to fit in is actually anything other than your present idea of "normal".

what if someone is a longtime resident and gets hurt or disabled?? then who takes care of them, feeds them & looks after them in a medical capacity?? you have to plan for the unexpected for sure.

the one in wales sounds good, but they may need non food essentials, such as glue, rope, scissros, tape , paint, etc. just a few i thought of. of course you can make paint and rope if you know how: however, they need good medical assistance or a dentist & an optician for sure. That's for everyone regardless of age. Not gonna be 35 forever & you have to plan for the future.
