@planetrockford Thank you. I love the people of the U.K. Have traveled there, hired U.K. citizens and enjoyed working with them. When I have a problem with the English language I like to remind Americans where it all came from. However, I feel very sorry for the great lose of freedom that has taken place in the U.K. after WWII. Freedom is ours to loose. I guess what I would say is focus on the positive and do the best you can to live a free and simple life. Live Well!!
@1KillerBitch My goodness with a name like that I am sure glade you are a friend rather than a foe. You sure are right about the area. I love the nature also and just being there breathing the air improves your outlook on things. I have enjoyed most of the people I have gotten to know also however the idea is to get away. Having lived in Asia for years the contrast i wonderful.
if people would get away from using standard stoves and convert to a rocket stove you would save more than 5 times the wood and it heats wonderfully and almost no smoke. and really hot to cook and heat the place with i advise looking into building a rocket stove it is well worth it.
@RichardOhKaNoi first of all it all depends on how much of the resource you have on hand. I have 40 acres which translates to an unlimited amount right at hand. Second it depends on what you are doing. There are great rocket stove applications for this example. I really do enjoy and prefer what I have for heat. When it comes to cooking I have a rocket stove, the American Made Deadwood Stove and you can see it in action on my channel. I agree completely aboutbeing frugal.
@skittlemaster15 Good choice in some areas but not so much here. I lived outside of St. Louis for a number of years on hurricane ally and underground would have been perfect there. In the Okanogan Highlands I don't see a great need.
Dude, 2 of these on top of each other, with one underground would be awesome.I'm going to watch the video of the inside to get some ideas. I wanna do this.
@JonO387 You have hit a very important point. A very good one too. As I said above I wouldn't go under ground in the area I am located in but I would strongly consider stacking two. In my location putting a second on top would be wonderful. The view from on top of the one is fantastic. It would also make the one on top even more safe from animals. I would like a sleeping "nest" on top to enjoy the stars.
@snaps81625 Not when I am sleeping! which is a funny way of saying it would be far more enjoyable with some windows. Furthermore its not that difficult to add them. the only down side of windows is security. I would add that most waking hours are spent outside in the forest.
@johnvineyard67 thank you for the note. I keep the door open at all times and will until I put in big windows. that is true even in the cold of winter when we just put a tarp up to slow down the cold. the wood stove works great!
@crazyboyaustin You are right but then I may have a leaky roof. As it stands now I have more heat that I can stand in the dead of winter. Really after the refer heats up you run around in your underwear as the stove is so warm, that's right even in the dead of winter.
Thanks so much for posting this, I was wondering how container houses fared here in Canada. I live just east of you in the Rockies. I never thought of a refridgeration container. Do you think I could get away with a shipping container if I just insulated the heck out of it?
@Jesusdied2pay4yrsins Lots of people use the plain shipping containers. Problem is then they have to put much into making it livable and able to stay warm. a refer like what I have is already so over insulated that you don't have that problem. Furthermore I prefer what the refer is built out of. Most of it is not going to rust like a standard container., Yes, the refer may cost you more but in the long run its cheaper and better.
@okanoganforest i agree i work on trailer containers and most have stainless doors and such to protect against rust - good job on yours. not to familiar with the woods up there hows the hunting , fishing? not that i am going the invade your camp ha ha
Where do you breakdance at? You need at least a good 10' x 10' to bust out some fresh spins and crab walks. You also might consider a rocket stove to lower your smoke signature and it will use 2/3's less wood.
@armanflint Interesting and a good idea. I do have a rocket stove, take a look at my other videos. the Deadwood Stove is made in the USA and works wonderfully. You are right again about wood use with the Deadwood Stove I can cook dinner on a handful of sticks.
@MrQuickSandJesus it wasn't easy but the key was having a good heavy equipment operator. the truck that brought it in dumped it over a hounder meters from the site. Without the best heavy equipment operator in the world I would have been sunk.
@BigDirtyBasterd Good question! Space, size, security, simplicity and permanence. Anything is better than nothing. Anything that will give you secure shelter will work.
that's not a "shipping container" - that's a commercial shipping trailer without the wheels. A shipping container is entirely thick cordon steel and has never had wheels. I'm just sayin'...
Methinks your bug out pack should include some kind of sealant for holes in metal (we used something called "aluma-seal" on metal house-trailer roofing) 'couse that big tin can will collect bullet holes sooner or later. Otherwise, great idea and totally bug, mouse and small bear proof.
...ne'r ferget, th' pignazis have choppers too! ...camo that place a bit so it ain't so obvious from th' air... just enough to make it seem...'unused.'
My question is when the SHTF and it's time to bug out how do you plan to get to your shelter. I would think gas for a vehicle would be a problem. Roads would become impassable; etc. I applaud your ingenuity but have wonders about these issues.
i have one of these i use for tool storage on job sites.... how do you open it from the inside... i locked a guy in one day as a joke... he thought he could sneak in a nap at the end of the day... once the lacthes are closed youre not gettin that door open from the inside
Maybe some sort of solar panel roof at an incline so that rain water could also run off into a gutter to storage barrels. Kind of a 2 for 1 idea. Great bug out site!
I think I have the perfect business for you. Sell gold. Gold is currently selling for more than $1600 per ounce. We sell 1 gram of gold for $52. That means the average person can now use gold as a hedge without too much cash. The cost to get involved is $0.00. Be sure to put my username, "greenshield" at the top of your online application. Learn more here: goldenladyfun.blogspot.com
How about ventilation? Dosnt it get bad air? No windows, alternativ exits? But other ten that is cool and a great and simple idea. Id love o do the same
You should put a "bulk head" wall about 8" inside your two big end doors. You put a regular insulated steel walking door and a storm door too. There is also room on the same wall for a window. I used a 32" door and a 30" x 30" PVC slider window. You can just chain the big end doors back against the outside of the container, I used short lengths of chain and a couple of carriage head bolts. Works like a charm. The big doors still close for security when your not at your site.
What a great idea, a fantastic location and solid video. Good stuff brother. I would love to see the inside. I will go check out your other vids and hope that you have made one showing the inside. Stay safe and again..... thanks for giving info to all of us. We are in this shit together. Airborne!
@MrMadmax900 Sorry for being so slow. There are at two good videos that show the inside. Just visit my channel okanoganforest. There is lots to see there.
This type of shelter would be illegal in the U.K. In fact living in your caravan on your own land is too, it's a disgrace. You are a lucky man.
