Visit to Tinkers Bubble Off-Grid Woodland Community. Living without Fossil Fuels

Today I have been given a guided tour of Tinker’s Bubble. This woodland community lives off grid managing 26 Acres of woodland. Using no fossil fuels this off grid community runs a steam engine to power their sawmill, and produces their own timber for construction as well as their own apple press for juice and cider making.

Thank you, Tinkers Bubble is living proof _ there is a way to return to living with and on the land. 💚🌱🌿🍃💚

I had the best time when volunteering here some time ago. Thanks for this little docu, I got all nostalgic for wwoofing! May the crowd funder be fruitfull.

[@SelfSufficientHub]

Thanks Green Spiral 👍😊

I want to visit!! I’m so interested in off grid communities! Although they could do with building wooden walkways to get off the freezing wet mud in places. As exposure to rising damp isn’t good for the body, joints and lungs. Raised home dwellings too. I wonder if they have a metalworks shed too!?

[@SelfSufficientHub]

There are several sheds which are like utility spaces so I’m sure they have the capabilities to do metalwork.

What a place!! Amazing

[@SelfSufficientHub]

It was awesome to see

[@jennywilliams9594]

What a beautiful place!

[@SelfSufficientHub]

It really is! And will be for a long time to come too..

[@FayCreative]

Oh I love goats so much!! They’re awesome! And goat dairy is great! 💖🐐🐐

[@SelfSufficientHub]

I agree 100%

[@TheUberdude187]

Congrats on hitting 1k subs.

[@SelfSufficientHub]

Thank you sir

[@daniellestrange1600]

hoping to go next year as was fully booked when i asked to go lol.

[@SelfSufficientHub]

It’s an amazing place

[@geoffanddebshipton6797]

Wow...

[@SelfSufficientHub]

Indeed!

[@scronx]

Enjoyed the tour, SSH -- but Alex doesn't seem to share your marvelous enthusiasm :-)

[@SelfSufficientHub]

I suppose it’s because this was filmed around the hunger gap and he’s eaten not allot but swedes for a few weeks! 😬👍

[@scronx]

@@SelfSufficientHub Don't tell him I said this, but with the help they depend on from non-primalists they might as well join 'em. Their lifestyle will become meaningful after a nuke war ;-)

[@FayCreative]

So are they left alone by the gov? Like they don’t have to worry about taxes, or council tax bollocks, and all that stressful Gov stuff..?

[@SelfSufficientHub]

I’m not sure on their taxation situation sorry.

[@ia8018]

There are articles in the internet about their struggle with the government to stablish themselves and thrive.

[@fillmglass]

So apart from appealing to modern commerce to fund their lifestyle they are no part of the greedy system. I genuinely applaud the efforts and loved the video, perhaps a few more words from Alex would be good. I will not however give any money as it seems to go against the whole ethos of the community. A KZbin channel of their own could bring in the required funds.

[@sinecuris7173]

If you stayed the night you could have been on their census form

[@SelfSufficientHub]

Haha that’s funny!

[@santikim8134]

Low Impact Dwellings? - we do have words and some more individualised and specific to the materials used, and the shapes and designs. We have many words. Re member 😉

[@SelfSufficientHub]

Thanks Santi 👍

[@alextodd6828]

Dear Carl, Was listening to the Pod Cast on this one and had to watch the vid. Quites something really. It's a bit hard to fathom what that would really be like but it's a bucket list item for sure. Thanks for bringing us a long and now that it's 11 months hence was curious if you heard if they raised that money? If not perhaps it's time to give them another visit so we can see what's left to be done - and how we can help? Best, Alex - NetZero Homestead

[@SelfSufficientHub]

Hi Alex, they are still raising money for the steam engine. And here’s their website - www.tinkersbubble.org You can volunteer to stay there for a few weeks if you ever wanted a uk holiday!

[@chefamy872]

Great video I would really like to volunteer here. By any chance do you know if they’d accept a 16 year old as a volunteer?

[@SelfSufficientHub]

I am not sure but you can contact them via their website and enquire! Good luck

[@mcgam]

Why did they cut the part he was clearly going to talk about the pandemic? Why is anyone with a platform so scared about telling the truth online!?!

[@SelfSufficientHub]

Hi, I’m not sure what you are referring to, I didn’t cut anything apart from dead air and lots of “um”s really. Pretty sure everything we discussed is in the video.
