I am so blown away by this. I had an uncle who everybody called a dreamer, crazy, etc., and he was the one who introduced me to the concept of earth ships. Always wanted one, but haven't gotten there yet. This is just a level of amazing I've never seen before. Congratulations on a brilliant project! Cheers

[@ToshaRaeNailed]

This is my dream! I just found the earth ships about a year ago when visiting Taos and I was shook! It was everything I never knew I needed. Living in Dallas Tx now but longing to get back to Taos for a visit.

[@Deutschtown]

You can do this!!!

[@prophez23]

I live in the mountains of northern New Mexico not far at all as the crow flies from these Taos Earthship homes. In the small town of Pecos. I moved here 15 years ago from east Texas. You can definitely do it but it helps if you know some people here. I was told by many people before I moved here that without a lot of money it's impossible to do it but I proved everyone wrong. But it took hooking up with the right people. If you are still interested in moving up this way if you haven't already since you posted this 3 years ago I might could be of some help. Don't hesitate to ask if you want.

[@wendypoginy4972]

Inspiring!I began a tire retainer wall for my old shed, and now, am using rambed earth tires for a foundation to build a greenhouse around the outside of it which I hope will warm the shed on sunny days.Great way to relieve stress and get fit.I am excited.

I love the comments on the gradual shifts around 7:20. We have very low single use plastic use in our home, our trash is 1/4 compared to most of what I see our neighbors putting out on trash day and we don't even feel like we're doing anything special because we've adopted these strategies slowly over time.

this is so amazing! The "job" you do Dylan! To show to the world each end every off grid possibilities. Its just what i do. I were researching a lot about earthships, tree houses, tiny houses on wheels, mini eco houses, hobbit houses, rv-s, camper vans, caravans, static caravans... All is so amazing. I really cant stand the system anymore, im stuggling to do it over and over again every day...and i keep asking myself every day was it the last one?...but not there yet... At the moment i live in London im only 24 and a nanny with no saved money and no driving license.. and trapped in the big city life's problems such as incredibly high rent and i cant live my soul's passion. I have the goal set that i definitely will escape the system with going off grid. I dont know how im gonna do it but im gonna do it.

Great work, when I was 12 years old I helped a neighbor start to build their earth home with tires. We get a 1/4 of the way done with the foundation and the husband got leukemia and he went down hill fast. He died and his wife said her husband had the plan for the house in his mind and that she no longer wanted to continue to build the house with the tires. So she decided to build the earth home with cement blocks and we buried the current tires the were packed with dirt all ready, and the pile of around 3000 tires we found a tire recycling company that bought them for $1.00 a tire. And I remember helping load them. I now own a 1800 old hotel that the sand stone foundation is falling in and just recently thought to rebuild the fallen in portion of the foundation with used tires packed with dirt.

I have been doing physical therapy working on my truck. The rusted bolts are a workout specially since I have somewhat disabled since 2004 or so. I'm planning on going there within 20 miles or so to try packing tires and if I can't do that physically then I will try another way but my hope is for some form of earth bermed home in that area. Been planning this off an on for years. Building a truck to carry 120 gallons of water, some solar panels, a fridge and the basics mostly. My back very well might rebel but I will keep at it in some form or another even if I have to put up a yurt and call it done.

This is perfect. I have been in the need to go into hiding. Cops have been chasing me for a year now. They barged in my door. I barely had enough time to grab money and clothes. The screams of my shocked Mother still haunt me to this day. I was young and reckless, but what I did was unforgivable. I pirated Minecraft.

If only it were on wheels then we'd have something. "Owning" land doesn't work for the group, a campground is a symbol of sharing...

[@thebowtieguy777]

you could try cargo container homes, semi permanent, durable, and mudular.

Awesome! I suggest taking a look at recessed gardens for the desert area.
