 Ha, Tomaters is here already. Tomaters is always here. Boy All right, I think I'm on I think everyone can hear me and right now. I've got a blanket behind me That's blowing but I don't want to close the window because it's super hot out today and I want the breeze so What am I gonna talk about this week to waste the first 15 minutes? I mean to use the first 15 minutes of talking talking. Ah, excellent. Tomaters. You can hear me great So right now there's this big gasoline issue where the the gas prices just went way up and People are freaking out. There's a lot of stress and in this country It doesn't really affect me directly in my everyday life that much which is nice but in this country like the main highway going down the entire country is Blocked off. There's a barricade like all over the place So people can't get from one end to the other and one thing that does affect me a little bit is like deliveries So there's not a much not as much food at the stores now and you can't get propane anymore unless you go to the store and beg them for one of their last ones and Gasoline is super expensive and all that stuff Luckily, I don't use all that stuff. I do eat food, but I mean I'm okay still But a lot of people are freaking out because they can't drive their their boats around Where is your motor tiller? I don't know what that question means. What's my motor tiller? Anyway Hopefully that question will be elaborated upon but Yeah, a lot of people, you know, they can't drive their boats around which I have to admit is kind of nice There's a lot less traffic. It's mostly just when I go to town You know, there used to just be tons of boats driving all over the place and you know making waves and now there's a lot fewer Which is kind of nice. I gotta admit but other than that people are you know kind of freaking out and You know, it seems like it just seems like every like originally it was every few years and now it's like and then it was like every other year and and then oh, where's my road motor tiller for For chewing up the soil. Yeah, I don't have one Let's just okay So and at this point it seems like every every six months or so There's some new terrible thing that's going on and I feel like our civilization is like this sinking ship and You know years ago when I was a kid I could hear you know We were all in the ship and I heard people say oh the ships in trouble You know, we're gonna take a take a lifeboat and go anyone who wants to get on get on and like And like one or two people got on that first lifeboat and went and you know kind of got out of the system and did something else And then every once in a while, they're like, oh the ship's in a little bit worse shape Here's a lifeboat going and then like, you know hardly any people still get on and it just seems like the more the Ship sinks the more people are clinging on to it, you know like Like with the whole medical situation with COVID-19 like a lot of people just just clinging more to society Like they were locked in their houses in cities and they're like, oh now I feel scared I have to I have to you know really Cling on to the system which is taking care of me. The thing is it's not taking care of this letting them down But it was like the more it lets them down the more they cling on It's almost like one of those one of those marriages where you've got like the abusive person and the other person who's being abused You can't leave because emotions or something But you know, I feel like I've mostly gotten off the ship I'm mostly out of the system kind of being self-sufficient. However, I'm not I'm not all the way out I still have to you know do food, you know grow enough food and stuff You know, I still have stuff to do but a lot of people I know are just Just kind of hanging out in in the system that's on the sinking ship as it's going down and They're freaking out and they're saying oh, it's terrible. What's going on? We need the ship to get fixed and start driving again, but the thing is like When civilizations start start sinking they don't they don't generally come back and Yeah, I was saying this the other week. I feel like we've I feel like as a civilization We've made too many mistakes To to recover from what we've done The good thing is is that we're we still have enough resources going, you know enough Like people still have enough freedom in their lives and stuff they can do that you can still get out You know move off grid or you know start a farm or do something where you can become more self-sufficient Not so reliant on the on the system so I don't know but it's just strange to me that so few people are choosing that and I'm sure there. I'm sure there are explanations About why people want to keep living in cities and you know do all that kind of stuff and rely on you know The system and all that stuff but whenever I think about it it always reminds me of This conversation I had a few years ago where there was this This couple who came to visit us and they were they were doing a work away thing You know they wanted to go somewhere and volunteer for a week in in various places But these this couple really just wanted free places to stay That's what they were really doing which you get sometimes when you do this, you know work volunteer thing Anyway, they're they're pretty horrible the whole time, but this this one conversation I had This guy was looking at my solar powered boats and my pedal boats He's like why why are you wasting your time with that and I was like well, I like it like it's what I want to do I mean, that's that's all the explanation I need right? It's like nah, but you know, you don't go as fast I mean if you just had a gasoline motor you can go way faster and I was like I don't want to go faster I like I like chilling out I you know I want to I want to enjoy the journey as I'm going and he's like no no no that's not it That's not it. You're freaking out about the gasoline because you think the gasoline is gonna run out and I'm like Well, I'm not freaking out that gasoline is gonna run out because I don't really use any gasoline So but he's gonna run out And he's like no gasoline's not gonna run out people freak out about that gasoline's never running out And I was like what are you talking about? We're using gasoline like a million times faster than it's being produced Oh where you getting your facts and figures and I'm like, okay, whatever it used being used only a hundred times faster than It's being produced either way it's being oil is being used faster than it's being made, right? And he agreed to that. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so I'm like if you're using something faster than it's being made eventually you're gonna run out and His whole explanation for this was No, no, no, we didn't we didn't leave the Stone Age because we ran out of rocks We're not gonna leave the get the oil age because we run out of oil And this was like a grad student in engineering. He knew math He was he was definitely Practicing problem-solving skills or or should be learning all this engineering stuff in school But somehow he equated a Non consumable to a consumable Here's the problem. I mean, I'm sure everyone already understands this but let me explain it anyway Because this guy didn't understand it if you have a rock and you build a house with the rock in 400 years the house is in ruins the rock is still there You can take the rock and light it on fire You can take the rock and smash it with a hammer and you'll have smaller rocks But you're still the same amount of rock like rock is not being consumed when you use it But gasoline you put a gas you put a gallon of gasoline in your motor and then you drive for a while The gasoline is gone now the atoms are still there But the energy that held them in this state that was gasoline has been has been used up Hold on a second. What? The shame is telling me to turn my volume down a little bit. She must be putting a baby to sleep or something Anyway, you still have all the atoms But they but all the energy that had been stored in that carbon and hydrogen and all that stuff that pushed it into the The hydrocarbon that is oil and gasoline all that energy has been used up So now you don't have the same thing anymore So you can't equate a rock to a fuel because the fuel actually gets used up Of course, we didn't run out of rocks to get out of the Stone Age We never run out of rocks, but we are running out of gasoline. I'll tell you that and uh This isn't something that's like new people have known about this for a long time and uh, it's it's it's a It's funny how how people are just staying hooked on gasoline Knowing that it's gonna run out knowing it's like driving off the end of a cliff like driving Or driving toward a brick wall full speed knowing the brick wall is there But just going full speed and saying everything's fine. Everything's fine. Everything's fine And like three inches away from the brick wall everything's fine then crash Of course, you know in the real world the the way things uh The way things happen on a large scale is you don't get this sudden crash. You just kind of get this slow crash where it's like every once in a while the gasoline You know jumps up, but most of the time it's just Slowly easing its way up and at some point it's just it's just gonna go You know and and so many things that are relying on gasoline that uh You know we're gonna have shoot food shortages and all this other stuff and it's not even just gasoline like we're depleting the uh The soil farming like factory farming where we're factory farming animals by locking them in cages and you know pumping all this garbage into the air and into the water like It's like it's like human beings are just testing how far we can push it before we're totally screwed and uh, it's totally insane and um I guess it's just that a lot of people are saying to themselves Nah, everything's fine. We're not gonna run out of oil Didn't run out of rocks to to work our way out of the rock out of the stone age, right? We didn't run out of rocks, so we're not gonna run out of oil Totally non non-rational argument emotional argument. All right. That's all about all I have to say about that I could go on and on about this stuff though So, uh, what are you guys doing today? Let's see what we what we got going on here Hurricanes are terrible. So, um, the shame is busy right now, so I'm gonna read the read the uh What are these comments myself? I can't read though, so I'm just gonna have to use telepathy Hey, Jamie. Love what you do mate. Do magnets on electric motors gradually die? Or what is most likely to wear out bearings etc? Okay on on an electric motor. I think you're I think your magnets are pretty okay for a really long time Okay, close that. Um The thing that wears out on an electric motor if it's a brushed motor it's the brushes So you got like, you know, basically magnets Yeah, I'll do that in a second to shade it so basically in a motor you've got magnets around the outside And this is just a basic motor and then magnets in the middle that spin around and the magnets in the middle are usually Electromagnets, which means electricity has to get into them. But since that thing is spinning It's hard to get the electrical copper things around in the circle and it's real smoothed out And then there's a there's a couple or a few pieces of carbon that touch it And the electricity can go through those carbon brushes into the copper into the spinning part The problem is the spinning part is is brushing against this carbon Or maybe that's why they're called brushes and it slowly wears it down now They're they're made pretty well. They last a long time But they do eventually, you know, just wear away till there's nothing left and you have to replace the brushes So on a on a brushed motor, that's the thing that's going to wear out Um, if you have a brushless motor and personally I I lean toward brushed motors Because the brushes are much easier to replace than the electronics on a brushless motor So on a on a brushless motor, you've got I mean, there are various ways this can happen, but you can have like Like permanent magnets in the middle and then electromagnets on the outside And the electromagnets will will move them the the magnets in the middle that'll spin your motor And but the thing is the electromagnets on the outside have to keep changing So that means you need electricity that's coming in Either pulsed in or coming in one direction going the other way either way like whatever you do You need your electricity changing a lot And so you can't use direct current So you can't just have the electricity flowing around the electromagnets because it'll it'll set the The middle thing in a certain spot and keep it there and that's it So you need the electricity constantly changing, you know alternating current Or some kind of flux fluctuating current and then and you use at the moment. Anyway, we use kind of complicated electronics to do that and uh That works really well, you know, now there are no There are fewer moving parts in that motor. However, the electronics Because we make electronics all crappy and you know, they fall apart You know, they burn out at some point and I've had enough brushless motor electronics burn out to know that I would rather have brush motors But either way, you know, either the electronics and the brushless motor Burn out or it's the brushes and that's the main thing That uh that wears out in motors Okay, um DeShana, are you are you talking to people in here right now? Yeah, come upstairs get up here Oh You're she's she's taking care of the baby right now Okay, um Oh, this guy just did it. Okay. I was about to say that anyone who has a question Is you know the comments kind of go by and I miss a bunch But if you have a question write question at the beginning preferably in large letters And then I'll know it's a question and I'll try to read it So Terry has a question If we are the only living life forms in the universe first that is a crazy thought I mean someone someone said we're either The only living thing or there are lots of living things and each thing is equally terrifying I think it's more terrifying if we're the only living things that would be crazy Okay Then if we are the only life forms in the universe then all life is special including mosquitoes. No I mean, I don't think we're the only living things in the universe. There's got to be other stuff on other planets um I think there's a good chance there There are space aliens right now looking at us going oh man. What a mess down there Let's let them let's let those humans kind of straighten themselves out before we before we go say hi Because they they might just blow themselves up within the next hundred years or so In which case we'll just wipe out the rest of them and take over the planet But you know if they get through this little sticky period, maybe it'll become cool and then we can be pals But anyway, um mosquitoes. Well, I don't think Okay, life is a funny thing life life I think is is special and amazing regardless of how much how much of it there is um, and the way I think of it is Life is special because it goes up like Like a rock will fall down. It'll roll down a hill sit up the bottom and just stay there um like uh I don't know the water will flow down um, like all all the inanimate objects are just kind of uh Subject to whatever forces around them But life is special because it will go against the forces around it So like a tree will grow up which is against gravity grass will grow up a human will lift something up Even though gravity is pushing it down and create something and pull something apart and put something there and put all this energy Into creating something that would not otherwise happen This is why I think life is special because it's the thing that goes against the the uh, the forces around it Now I would not say I mean I think all life is special including mosquitoes. However, I think yes, we're gravity defies Um, my island could support a cow or a goat. Yes Sorry, I'm missing a bunch of questions here while I'm answering this, but I'll try to slip them in Um But a lot of I mean life comes and goes, you know part of evolution is that things Like some oh everlanders. Okay. You're here. We can begin. Okay. Let's start again um, no one of the questions that always comes up in my head is Are humans as we currently are are we A dead end. Are we an evolutionary dead end or are we going to make it? Uh, I think certain humans are obviously evolutionary dead ends, you know But uh, because you know people are going to live and die But I just mean like overall as a general species like Like are we going to make it or not if we end up wiping ourselves out? you know Then we had all these cool Cool attributes that gave us short-term Amazingness that just like ended up killing us which which happens. I mean if you fall follow evolutionary Oh come sit if you follow evolutionary stuff, you'll see that a lot of things will develop some kind of cool Characteristic that ends up Killing them killing themselves out in the end and that's an evolutionary dead end and and humans could still be an evolutionary dead end So another example of this would be say Say there was a new new kind of shark And it was the most amazing fastest that shark was so successful at killing everything It killed everything around it and had nothing left to eat and then it would end up dying evolutionary dead end All right, so what are you doing? You got some questions here? Oh, this is the jamo show now. It's not the jamie show anymore. It's the jamo show It's for manly men although the ladies are also of course welcome You're you're here. So you're you're definitely not a manly man. Yeah, you're not a manly man at all. You're not Someone was concerned that I looked tired recently. Yeah, I did I did post a video while I was sick the the my successes Oh my successes video, you know the video where I was showing a bunch of things that that worked well Uh, that was a couple weeks ago. I just hadn't edited yet And I did that like while I was just getting over Some sickness. So I might have been tired from that But dishinga thinks it's mostly the lighting because I'm like wearing a hat and then being bottom lit because I'm blocking the top You know, that's what it is. I don't know. Sometimes I don't do I look all right. I look a little tired right now Oh, no, I'm trying to look tired. Oh now. I'm so awake. I don't know. I think I think I'm all right Hey, I've been I haven't actually been sleeping that well No, no, not for a while But not terrible I mean, I just wake up a lot and I'm like Hey, I want to do stuff for Yeah, yeah, when I get super villain lighting, I guess I look tireder But but you could think of it as I don't look more tired. I just look more evil Yeah, because you're super evil in the first place. So you're talking quieter because you want me to talk quieter because the babies asleep Talk quieter Sorry, I'm getting somebody said it was hard to hear me last week But I have to keep quieter because you get louder and then okay, you you talk you talk louder. I'll talk quieter How's that? I'm gonna be awesome. Everyone turn up your volume. I'll try not to yell Until someone gets me on some topic where I get all worked up So I'm gonna just start taking questions from now So if you post a question that has not been answered go ahead and re-post it and then I'll go to it So the first question I see on my list. Wait, wait, wait one thing Don't slap yourself. Haha. Yeah, I'm usually the one doing that because I talk with my hands and You know slap I feel like I've been I feel like I've been trying to do better without without slapping my hands That's awesome. Yes. Okay. So the first question up is whatfalute Once you know what kind of medical supplies that you normally store jamie I have duct tape and I have cloth. That's what I let my general go to like if I I do have alcohol too and bleach and bleach But generally if I get a cut Um, like say I cut a hand or something Well, it's generally happens while I'm trying to do something and I'm starting to bleed all over ever And then get some duct tape and wrap it around and then I can carry on with what I'm doing That's that's my usual thing Uh, what is your composting situation? Have you considered getting a coward go to add more manure and then mixing that with scraps waste and clay sand by Nathan Lee animation. Wait, wait scraps scrap waste and clay and sand I I need I'm trying to work on making better soil. Is that what I do mix poop with Clay and sand and scraps. Yeah, like scraps like Okay, so I think I'm roughly doing all right Uh, I gave you three videos to upload today that you don't have to upload them all today But one of them was about planting some stuff in a raised bed And I piled a bunch of like, you know Plant material in there and stomped it down and then put dirt on top now Now I was gonna watch the video and be like, I already know what this video is So like and then, you know planted some seeds in the top But hopefully that's doing good. Yeah and well, we have like Well, I should talk about on my island. I have you know, like A few raised beds that I just throw Garbage into I mean not garbage, but like, you know food waste and like, you know dead grass and stuff And trying to compost them up so I can plant good stuff And and then I also have a banana circle, which is like, you know, like a mound of dirt maybe like Six or eight feet wide a couple meters across and banana trees are planted in the mound around the around the outside And then the middle there's a hole. So that's where all the the scraps go the food food stuff, you know Like banana peels and whatever and those seem to work really well the banana circles. Those are amazing I've got a huge bunch of bananas right now. I need to plant some more little banana trees and then We also have the Or I should say I have This digester thing, which is supposed to make methane and someone's gonna ask me How's the methane going and I haven't checked However, all the all the stuff that goes down the sink and down the toilet and everything down the drain ends up in this Digester which makes methane supposedly but it also makes This stinky water that's supposed to be amazing for What do you call it not insulating the plants? Fertilizing the plant So people refer to that as compost tea Compost I don't know. I just call it poop water. So it's like stinky. It's just like It's not necessarily made out of poop or some poop, but it's also just like, you know, leftover food, whatever But it basically turns into poop, you know, it's being digested in this big tank But uh, yeah comes out this stinky water and Occasionally, I'll I have a valve and I can get some stinky water out and I make sure I'm not touching the spout or I'm holding the bucket where it's not going to get on me and I just you know, pour it on some plants That seems to work pretty well and uh I'm wondering if I need to go around Digging holes and pooping at them. Do I still need to need to start going around digging holes and pooping at them? I mean, I guess you could do that. It would be pretty then I'd get like like compost all over It'd be pretty specific Yeah, well, I I could train her. She needs to just poop in certain holes I could I could have like I could make like a like a like an area That's like kind of marked out like it's a like a big rectangle and then poop poop poop poop like in rose And at the end of the month when I've got like maybe I mean 30 ish poops six by five I can measure it by poops. I've got six by five poops And then I can plant stuff on there and then people can say, oh, what's what's that garden size? I was six by six by five poops And then it could plant like popcorn. I know I need to plant things other than popcorn I planted a bunch of peppers in the the video that I was talking about in the raised bed But yeah, I can plant stuff in the in above the poops. I want to go to another question Would that be okay? Okay, great. If the job's at a jurad double do double you Sorry, double do oh You said it wrong double question. If the job's actions people do push the world towards a dystopia or utopia what jobs slash actions exist that push the world more towards a utopia aside from practicing sustainability well, I think I think So anything sustainable doesn't count because that was other than sustainability But you I mean if you're not doing things sustainable sustainably Well, I think he's saying so obviously practicing No, but I think this isn't this is an important thing because practicing sustainability. I mean That's what everyone has to do all the time like everything you're doing has to be like I mean basically, I mean this is this is part of the problem is people are just not thinking about it like Like sustainability is something we should just always be doing You know kind of like how you're always breathing you're always Making sure you eat enough so you don't die you should always be trying to do things in some kind of sustainable way and anytime you're not doing something sustainably as a Group as a society. It means we're we're heading off the cliff man. What? I'm answering wrong. I think he's trying to say like are there any or ask if there's any jobs in your opinion like Obviously practicing life in general being sustainable, but like he would like to work And earn money probably so he's yeah, this is what I'm saying. This is your I'm answering the question You just don't I just maybe I'm not interested. I mean part of the problem. I think is that The way people are thinking about it Is not Getting us in the right direction. So people are thinking like like for instance, you know what job Like so I can just I can just give a list of the jobs you could do and then people say oh well Okay, I can get that job and I'm good, you know, it's kind of like going to the store and Looking at all the different products and this one has a green label. Oh, I'm not just by the green label. Everything's good, right? but like no you have to you have to actually like Just kind of get off the system where everything is labels and actually pay attention You know think about what you're doing think about what's going on job like you could think of pretty much any job And you could do it in a sustainable way or not sustainable way, right? I mean even people who are recycling supposedly that's that's supposed to save the world, you know Do we just recycle we can keep reusing the stuff? Except recycling operations For the most part just are using huge amounts of energy and in a lot of cases It's actually better to just throw stuff away and make it new um Now in terms of in terms of practices, okay, if you wanted to have a job that is going to help Start a company where you manufacture things at last That would be a huge step in the right direction because right now All these companies are manufacturing disposable everything. So I mean just everything is disposable now Even the most not like a car car last five years and falls apart You know, you can keep it together for a while, but it keeps all my snacking But it, you know, it's a losing battle anyway and then Something like you could say well farmers they're making they're making food But you can you can do the factory farm a deal where you're you're destroying the the land, you know wiping out um the nutrients and the soil creating just barren wastelands or you can Grow things in a way where you're you know, you planting different plants that kind of work together You know, maybe you've got some animals in there to poop on the stuff because the thing is like anything you do there's a way to do it destructively or there's a way to do it creatively and uh Like you can think that just being alive is means you have to consume stuff But if you really think about it like I and a tree are both alive and we do things the other needs Like I poop out food for the tree the tree makes depends on the tree, of course But the tree, you know makes fruits that I can eat. I breathe out the air the tree breathes in both doing our things we're supporting the other and The reason that whole system works is because the sun. I mean as long as the sun is pumping energy into the system um, then we just have to Not not be stupid not not destroy things and unfortunately, you know Just our society is set up to be kind of dumb Mostly because people are chasing money instead of trying to do what's right um, and then people end up getting Getting told that there are specific choices that you can do, you know Like the question about what what's your job people think of think of the world as Specific jobs like you you stick a label on yourself and that's what you are but uh To be a real human being you had to put all those labels aside and think What is the right thing to do here? Like what what is my moral? Obligation as a living creature. What what should I be doing? And I think that's the way We we need to start thinking more And this goes back to what I was saying A couple weeks ago about we need to get off laws and onto morality like stop having rules decide You know trying to define every specific action we can do and instead look inside ourselves say, okay, what? What should I do? What is the good thing to do here? What will get the best results? Did I answer your question at all? Oh, I think so So the next question is we just had it and I can't find it And I don't mind if people think I'm crazy your island by boat Probably are you crazy? Are you? Wearing a bomb If you're a nice person then probably yeah junkyard josh wants to know Do you have any tips for breaking up bedrock in parentheses canadian shield northern ontario? Depends what you're trying to do, but oh man, it's hard like If you have to do a lot like dynamite, but I've never done it Jeff crookie is not satisfied with our answer about belize last week So he is asking the question again, and that is what does jamie think of belize? Well, I have never been there But I I just say we we I shouldn't say we I did look at some land in Belize just on the internet I didn't actually look at it But I chose Panama over Belize Partly because of hurricanes largely because of hurricanes. Yeah, that was that was a major factor in choosing to live here because like I I don't know if you've ever if you've never experienced like a hurricane or like Some kind of natural disaster. It's really hard to to get a grasp of the destruction Um, and I've never been in a full-blown hurricane, but I've you know, I've been like close enough to a hurricane That I was like whoa Whoa whoa, you know like whoa like that will destroy things And uh, there's nothing you can do. I mean, there's I guess you can get in a yager if you're if you're in the pacific rim And getting your giant robot and hope it doesn't get torn apart But uh, yeah, I mean a hurricane will just wipe things out You can do all this work to create this amazing place and um question Jasper Edwards would like to know The question is diving gear for salvage and treasure for making stuff a good idea or not That's a great idea. Although for the most part, I don't want like scuba tanks personally This is just my own personal thing because like um Like I always I mean, I guess, you know, it would be useful if there was something real deep that you really wanted but for the most part I want to Practice holding my breath and I've you know, I've done enough Like free diving to know that with some practice you can get like really good Amount of time holding your breath. I was watching that thing about the mermaid The girl who does like mermaid. She's a mermaid like a professional mermaid and she can hold her breath for like Three three or five minutes somewhere between like while swimming around and waving at people. Yeah Yeah, like when we when we studied with some free divers like they taught her Yeah, when we went to the Bahamas You know the year the winter before we moved here, um, I was I was diving for for fish a lot And uh, we were there for what a couple months And yeah by the end of that I could I could like go underwater and do stuff for a couple minutes Like being active without without feeling like I was really strained. That was really cool. But uh Yeah, when I get when I get some more of my current things when I get some things off my plate I do want to do more salvaging, you know Because there's there's stuff around Yeah, yeah, what's your question? Um Is it So astral economics wants to know what is the best country when it comes to freedom law and climate And is the best to purchase an island? Outer space. I don't know. Um, I mean we chose Panama I mean we chose Panama for all those reasons. Yeah, I mean, it's pretty good. I don't know if it's the best but once once We got here At least for me like once I picked it. I was like Okay, I'm putting putting all my eggs in this basket and we're going and now I don't really know about other places But here is pretty good like Yeah, it's it's pretty good way way better than like Canada or the United States or Chile or I mean I can think of a lot of countries that we Nicaragua. Yeah, please. I mean and some of these things are opinions, but a lot of them are just like Columbia like freedom like just basic freedoms I think to get basic freedoms. It really helps them to go to a place where there's not too much money Because once there's a lot of money in a place People want the money and they come in with rules and try to figure out how to how to siphon money out of the people who are there So if you want more freedom go to a place where there's less money and less less people paying attention to it, you know Um, the silver stone age No, wait the silver age surfer. Sorry in there um, apparently from the silver surfer through The Ben Fogel show And he says that we mentioned something about it being a bad experience He'd like us to elaborate you to elaborate on that because he's also had an experience of TV manipulating his story their story. Oh, it was just like they came and you know Ah, what are they what are they called? What's it called when they when they say all kinds of nice things? They blew flowers up our butt and said, oh, yeah, you know Yeah, we were all interested in you know Showing the beauty of off-grid living and all this stuff and then they got here and all they were interested in what was wrong In is what was wrong at one point the the lady director Had her cameraman under the outhouse Like videoing poop like like right up close and I went over and I was like, what are you guys doing? Yeah, get a cake go go do something else. You're here to look at our poop And it's like everybody poops, but you don't that's that So stupid and like they weren't interested in any inventions or any of the cool stuff we're doing or Do they even show anything we were growing or anything? I don't know it's just Oh, and they had they showed like God they they were just so intent on crapping on homeschooling So they tried to set up this This terrible homeschooling scene, which was nothing like we school the kids at all They did actually we did a homeschooling scene of how I schooled them that didn't go in the show Yeah, that wasn't in the thing I did a thing with them too where I was teaching them something outside and we're having fun No, but they got video of the kids sitting there going what is going on while they're trying to force them to Sit there and do some boring dumb thing and they're like see this is homeschooling It's terrible and they just just crapped on everything And I know they got video of some cool stuff But they didn't use any of it And I know they got video of cool stuff because I was there and I I think The only reason they were videoing some of the cool stuff was just to kind of keep us happy It's like oh, yeah, we'll show this amazing stuff And then it was just like like watching I watched the episode now It's just like that wasn't that wasn't remotely interesting like there was nothing interesting going on They they skipped all the cool stuff, you know And then yeah The best show I've ever been on was Ryan Miller's show. It was just it was in Vermont. It was just a What's it called public public cable access? Whatever you call it And the show is called making friends with Ryan Miller Oh, yeah, it's on youtube but Ryan Miller, he's a What is he the lead singer of gustar? Yeah, but he wanted to do this We love you Ryan Miller. You did the best show any time I talked to him. I always tell him that was like brothers with your hair Oh, yeah, ridiculous. Anyway, yeah, we got along really well and everything and you know, he was there to actually You know show cool stuff and be like here's an interesting guy doing some cool stuff And he was actually interested that was that was the best show I've been on and I've been on You know the news a few times Yeah, I don't remember that one, but yeah, I think that one was all right Still it wasn't as good as Ryan Miller He did he did the best one because like he was genuinely interested You know and he was the one in charge of the stuff It was just like him a camera person And I think that yeah one other person But it wasn't like a whole crew of people who were like No Obnoxious and didn't care and whatever it was that was cool. Jeff asked would like to know Do you grow kutuk and or moringa? Yes So we have tons of kutuk. I've Yeah, the shena the shena went Oh, the kutuk was also thanks to me. No, I know you you were responsible for bringing both of those plants here So the kutuk we've had for years. Yeah, and you have a kutuk forest out there I mean there's if I even braid the plants together If if we got to a point where you know the gasoline got so bad and the protest or whatever There's no food. We could eat kutuk. Yeah And all turn green and actually the kutuk berries are I really like them. They're like they taste like Like sweet peas But anyway, you recently got a moringa tree two two moringa trees. Yeah, you have them both So I have both of them. Are you sure you got two? Yes positive Okay, I have two moringa trees and I showed them in the one was kind of like not doing so great Okay, those were both moringas. Yeah, okay, because you told me one was something else. I thought they're yeah, but they're both doing good right now They're both getting leaves No, they're both growing great and those are supposed to have really nutritious leaves, right? So the plants are I don't know a couple feet tall right now like less than a meter But they're healthy and they're growing everything's good And every every time I do a video where I'm outside. I kind of try to show The trees I planted in that one video. I don't know a couple months ago to kind of show the progress so in the video where I did the The raised beds whereas planting peppers that I just gave you I showed the trees in that everything's everyone's doing good Um, oh, so jasper Edwards did ask if you had diving gear for salvaging treasures Well, I have myself and I have a mask. I do have a snorkel that I don't think that would be that useful for diving down I flippers and Yeah, I mean that's I have a knife Stainless steel diving knife apparently the insult Investor made an electric outboard with a treadmill motor and a long shaft and he said it it works great so far Treadmill motors overheat very easily. I did that Uh, that was one of the first motors I tried here worked amazing for like a minute or two But it overheated so easily Yeah, he was going to test it out in the ocean today or tomorrow. Um, okay, just be careful. It might overheat so I'm not saying don't do it or anything. Just just you know be prepared Let's see any other questions if oh did you answer the question? If we are the only living life forms in the universe That might be a different one if we were the only living life We are the only living light. Are we the only living life forms in the universe? No, if we are the only living life forms in the universe then all life is special including mosquitos. Yeah, I answered that um You already answered that I was talking about how how life is gravity to the fire is someone someone some did up us that Terry It's a bond. Anyway, it's a bony. No, I just like Sam bony. She didn't even know what a zamboni is I did know I just don't know that's what you what did you guess You said something about sandwich Oh, yeah, you guess it was a It was a sandwich and you guess it was a hockey player. Hockey player was the closest I knew it had something to do with like ice for anyone who didn't grow up in a cold country like Canada A zamboni is the big truck. They drive around on the ice to smooth it out. So in my defense I ice skated for years like oh that is not in your defense They don't call it that in florida. That's what it was called. It was called the ice like the ice None of this is in your defense. I'm just saying like I didn't know I wouldn't have known that anyway, whatever. Do you Oh, um adult investor Where do you live and ever wanted to sail the ocean? Yeah, uh, where do I live is the first part. Yeah, I already answered that part though Okay. Well, we live in Panama on it. We live in the Caribbean ocean. Yeah, yeah, and uh Yeah, I've wanted to sail the ocean If I was I would love to have done that instead of going to university Like there there are so many things I could have done instead of like wasting time at university, but At this point, I mostly want to get set up to be self-sufficient Although I do want to have a boat capable of Going anywhere I mean In good weather But like I mean like I want to have a boat where we could like do an ocean crossing totally Can let's see there was a question. Do you plan on putting battery Packs back on your big boat you're currently restoring I don't know I was the shark slicer the big the big boat the big black boat construction boat. Yeah the cargo boat My biggest boat I think that's what they're talking about I don't know. Well, I want to put pedal power on it And I want to make sure at least two people can pedal and then I want to have solar panels in the motors But yeah the battery question I don't know I think what's going to happen is at first I'm not going to have batteries and then I'll probably go with no batteries unless Some battery company wants to donate batteries. I'm guessing. Yeah And there's there's been a bit of mention of that but what? So I was reading about different batteries and apparently they're coming out Well, they have that they've been testing them for like the last 20 years or whatever But there's this battery It starts with a z and I'm totally gonna call it the wrong thing. The zamboni battery is a zamb battery it's like It's like one day I'm gonna meet a girl who laughs at my dumb jokes I do. I just laughed at them in my head because I don't really want to encourage them Yeah, well, why not? Um, what? It's like it's like zandium or something. Okay, whatever move on so zamboni batteries So they're pretty cool supposedly because they outlast like the lithium batteries. They don't catch on fire and they run off of I think these are ones that like run off of water or something like that I don't know It was like two or three different battery types But it's cool because they're starting to expand on the the chemical Like makeup of batteries to like make better batteries than what we currently have available. Well, that sounds great Yeah, the the problem right now with lithium batteries is so delicate. Like because they have all those light on fire Yeah, well that too. I I did have Ones they didn't light on fire, but they melted. I didn't end up showing that because it was doesn't matter Um, it just happened all too quick and I anyway, um Yeah, if if I want some batteries to be more robust because like I'm kind of tempted to go back to Lead acid batteries because then the nice thing about lead acid batteries Is one they're not constantly Discharging like crazy You know the lithium's you don't pay attention to them for a couple weeks and they're dead and it's like oh great um But then they also need all the electronics to balance them and everything And you know one drop of water gets on that or it gets too humid or something there Yeah, apparently they don't work really well in very cold climate because oh, that's fine for us reaction works But anyway, um, so the insult investor the insult investor I've got to invest in some of these We have room for him to haul out his 46 foot 111 year old sailboat and work on it. He'll exchange work first thing Yeah, dude. Come on. No, I thought I mean as long as you're not a dick Yeah, I mean I can you can just park right now and we can talk about it. Myelin has a deep spot Guess what? Oh my stomach is in the description. Oh, yes. So feel free to email us check in the description The email's down there. It's the adventure builder movie at gmail.com. Just it's in the it's in the description, which is great Um, but yeah, I have I have deep water right next to my island on one side Like most of it gradually goes out, but one side is is deep So in hanshin once, you know, what would you tell an extended family member to do if they were worried about collapse? I think it seems like the economy and extended family member I don't even talk to my most of my family Um, if what would I tell them if they are worried about the collapse of the economy? I'm guessing you're talking about like they're worried. They're worried about the the stuff hitting the fan situation from a heart attack or something Uh, oh man, where do you start? It's like Get out of the system Like don't rely on the sinking ship Like that's that's basically what it comes down to. Don't cling to something that's going down because you're going down with it So, but how does somebody like get out of this? I mean, obviously you can't just right now Okay, I'm done with the system and right. That's the problem. So how do you work to get out of debt? Save money by your way out of the system like first if you if you can't save any resources if living in a city you can't save any money You're not going to be able to live off grid because everything is harder than that I mean living compared to living here saving money while living in a city and having a job as a piece of cake All you do is just not spend it Um, you know presuming you can get a job. Oh, my stomach is growling But anyway, yeah, if you if you actually want to not You know, if you're actually concerned that the system is going down, you don't want to go down with it Save as much money as you can as quickly as possible and then buy some land somewhere Plan some food make a house, you know, just make yourself generally self-sufficient like get off Get off as many bills as you can make your life As not reliant on money as possible and can I add some news that I'm noticing for my people that are directly in my life? I'm not talking about our like us But it also includes like making those purchases of things that you think are like super trivial Like when you buy like a soda or you buy a bag some like crackers That's all part of saving your money. Yeah that counts Because like that's an extra two or three dollars that could go towards whatever and like And you know, I watch friends that are living here now And I watch the things that they buy when they go to the grocery store And they're always talking about how they like don't have any money ever and I think to myself Well, that would be the problem is rice for it's never two or three dollars Right, it's like two or three dollars plus another two or three dollars plus another five dollars plus another two or three dollars And like in a year it ends up being like five or ten thousand dollars And it's like well that just got flushed down the drain If you didn't if you didn't like smoke the cigarettes or drink the soda or Eat the chocolate bars if you just took all that stuff out First you'd be healthier and you'd have more money as long as you could get off the mindset that you have to spend whatever you have Like you have to you have to start thinking about well, here's the way I thought about it when I was saving money. I thought about The more money I save the more more freedom of buying So like anytime I could save Five dollars. I'm like I just bought five dollars worth of freedom because like once you run out of money That's when you get thrown in jail or kicked out of your house or whatever, right? So as long as you have money you can keep the man off your back. So saving money is buying freedom That's the way I used to think about it And I'd be like, what would I rather have like a chocolate bar or a dollar worth of freedom? Like I'll take the dollar worth of freedom, man So another question is kind of relating to this Is is progress inevitable? No That's that's at least that's my first thought. No, definitely not But I mean you could elaborate on that a lot, but yeah, I wouldn't I wouldn't count on this goes back to I mean, I'm gonna presume they're talking about like The human species in general like we could very well be an evolutionary dead end like we could get so good at manipulating our environment But not having sufficient Whatever whatever interest in our own self preservation or not enough caring about the world around us or whatever like we could destroy everything around us to the point where we're all we all die like That could very reasonably happen and we're an evolutionary dead end I really want to click the thing and put the bubbles filter on so we have little bubbles floating around Oh, do it do it. Will it will it show to other people or just All right, this is gonna take like 20 minutes we shouldn't do it Wouldn't it be called bubbles There used to be more of them. There was one. It was really funny. It was like It was totally bubbles. It was my favorite one. Oh, I don't see it anymore I think that might just be in the chat thing. No. No, I've done my life Yes, you got your lives done with bubbles. Yeah, I got my lives done with bubbles and Eric was totally entertained. Oh my god. I feel ripped off now Yeah, I'm gonna have to get a bubble machine and just make our own bubbles Um, did you just say the sh word you swore first? No, I actually said us earlier I'm sure. Yeah, I skipped over like six swear words already. We swear in real life My kids swear too. Yeah, at least 4,000 hens a day, but they they swear when it's appropriate I figured if I just gave them the swear words, they would just use them Appropriately whereas if you know if you restrict the swear words Then they got all excited that that they when they find one out and then they used a lot, you know And we don't live in a place where it's gonna matter That's one of the good things about homeschooling. You don't have to worry about your kids swearing Because they go to school and swear they get in trouble Okay, so there was a question. I thought it was kind of relevant. I can't figure out where it was. Oh, some guy was asking about a biodiesel beltless motor He wanted to know if you would build one, but I can't find probably not I don't know where I'd get enough biodiesel and someone's gonna say just go to the friars in town and get the But you have to get there. But like how many people can that support like there aren't that many friars I'm sure I know At least one person who's got a biodiesel truck in town So he's probably going around getting all the friar oil. I don't I just don't want to be reliant on that like Like I want to be able to do stuff where I am. I don't want to have to be like Oh, I got to go visit this place and beg them for their oil and you know um Tree wants to let you know that this is the best show you've ever been on this this one. Yeah Because you're saying like today No, we're just in general. Yeah, I know that you've been on and so Um, well, that's that's very nice to say. I I don't entirely believe it But apparently Todd Kegas sent the battery powered DC AC unit to us What's that? I don't know the battery powered DC AC unit AC air conditioning. Oh I didn't even know anything about it Oh, I mean, I did know that we were talking about it. Wait the battery. Oh, AC. Okay, AC I was like AC DC because AC means alternating current also means air conditioning. Okay a battery powered DC air conditioner Yeah, so when did you send it? I have no idea. Is it we didn't we didn't miss it, right? No, it would be on a container. That's the next the next container that's coming leaves on the 27 So I don't want it with today. So today is the 24th. All right. So in a few weeks, it'll be here. Yeah So wait, it leaves it leaves the u.s. In three days Yeah, supposedly I mean I haven't checked you right. I know it changes. So the way we get stuff Here from the united states like if we order stuff on amazon or online anywhere or anything We get stuff sent to a guy in florida and then every month ish He sends a full container of our stuff and a whole bunch of other people's stuff Down to town and then I go get it and I showed it. I showed a video recently when I took a trip to go get a whole bunch of stuff Um, usually we don't get so much stuff because you know, we have to pay for it. Obviously Okay, hold on. I think I'm missing because I'm just trying to find um Do Are you do-do-do doing what are some future plans for remodeling homes on both islands any colorful Painting ideas or art inside the interiors. Well, it's funny today. I was outside with my son cooking some soup And I was looking at my house and I said, oh my gosh, I can't believe my house is all spackled. This is amazing And he looked that he's like that looks nice jamie and he's four and I was like, you know, I could paint it now I could paint the whole outside not the roof yet But like the whole thing and he's like, wow, what color would you paint it? And I was like green and camouflage So we would basically blend in with the the forest but I think I'm not I mean, it's not like a high priority or anything But like I'd kind of like to paint my house Green camouflage like green and brown and black and you know Just make it like basically blend in with the world Like the the trees around me and stuff and on the inside I'm not sure what I'm going to do but the thing that's in my head is So the my interior walls basically look like waffles like giant waffles like there's these big squares That kind of the square part sticks out and then there's a recessed Square inside and I was thinking about painting the the flat wall the The recessed square is blue and then the parts that stick out yellow Or maybe brownish. I don't know why I'm thinking yellow Maybe not brown yellowish. Yeah. So if I paint them yellow, they're gonna be yellow Yeah, if I paint them brown, they would just be brown But then it would I could make it look kind of like like sky behind and there'd be like the square framework And then on the blue part I could paint like clouds and stuff and you know naked ladies or whatever, you know Oh and on my floor I'm not sure which floor maybe on the first floor or the third floor I want to paint a giant adventure builder symbol not this adventure builder symbol the one with all the all the Virtues and principles Oh used to be in the show thumbnail for the earlier shows. Yeah, it's in this. Yeah. Yeah Um Freddie crochet says you need to do a call-in show Freddie crochet Can we do it? We could well just kind of We would have to run it through a different server, but it can be done on youtube Through a different thing on a laptop kind of like a call-in show because people can text in It would be cool though. People would like to be talking. Yeah, I know that would be so excited. Would that be good though? We could do like a discord. Oh, okay. Yeah, but it would be like a voice show. Anyway, have you done that yet? No, not yet because I have other things going on. Yeah Uh, what are you already asked that? Oh, apparently the insult investor is back and he said I tested it This is talking about the heat the motor the yeah, this is wait. This is the treadmill motor. Okay I tested it for 10 minutes. No heat. I ran it on 12 volts. It's rated for 24. Oh, you should be fine then Yeah, totally good awesome How is the roof going? It's going pretty good. I got the Well, the first two rows done. Well, except right around the door where I come inside and out there's like I don't know. I have like one square to do there but I stopped for a couple days because I had a hole in my thumb, you know, when you use cement You know like wears through your fingers. So I was speaking. I'm doing cement wearing through your fingers One of your smoocher things. Well, that's part of the risk problem to do that like well, yeah part of the issue is like Like to do all the stuff I need to do it's much easier to not have any kind of stick on my smusher thing my spatula My Actually that actually hasn't been a problem But my hand does get in the cement a little bit But what's more of a problem is when I'm scrubbing I didn't really show this but before I put the tiles on I go up there with a bucket with a tiny bit of soap in it. Like it's almost all just watered just a little bit of soap and you know, I'll Water and scrub the building because I want to make sure it's really clean No algae or anything before I put the tile on and when I'm scrubbing with my scrub brush, you know Every once in a while, I'll scrape a knuckle or an edge of my thumb or something. It's like So that's what wears are cut. It's just like kind of heats it away at it more So speaking of the cleaning the cement before you go. I was watching this video of this guy fixing a crack in a In a sidewalk That's not the important thing The interesting thing was how he cleaned it first was he took one of those drill bits that has the brush at the end Yeah, he like cleaned it out really well, and I thought oh man That's like a cool idea Then I thought could I do something like that if I was repairing cracks in like my concrete Yeah, and why would I not want to do that? Okay, yeah, I don't have any of those things, right? Yeah, like a wire brush is that circular water brush you just stick on any of the drill? Yeah, do you want one? Yeah, I do well you can come look at my supply Because I want to test it out before I get my own like if it's yeah, no, no just just you can have one Oh, cool. Um, you guys heard him say it that I could have when I'm not stealing it So in like two years when he comes, I stole it from him This is the moment. Where are we right now? One hour three minutes Oh my god So anyway, this is you know a while ago I There was a guy selling a bunch of tools on craigslist and I I ended up paying him $500 for like just tons of stuff Yeah, he sent me I could paint to Shayna You know cover up this mess You're beautiful. You're beautiful Doesn't mean I have to like you know just kidding But yeah, I got I got a little tub of like a wire brush that's going into the drill So you can you can have one Thanks You can have it and it's yours My Joe rush thing. What's it called? No, what is it called? Look when I actually give you stuff? That's not a problem. It's when you take my stuff. I know I just want and then I'm like I've been looking for this for weeks and it's like sitting outside in your yard and I'm like so What is this thing? Just a wire brush Yes, I mean certainly wire brush A drill wire brush. Do you happen to have any extra like concrete adhesive bonding stuff that I could also test out? How much do you need? I don't have some like a cup. I have like five gallons. You can have a little I put like a little splash in like half a bucket. So like a cup then Yeah, I don't I'm I don't know how much I'm supposed to be using but yeah, I could use a cup Anyway, moving along So question what about thin gas? Well, if I could just I don't know what that is. I've sinned plenty. I mean we're talking about like Christian sinning because I sinned plenty Synthetic gas Isn't all synthetic gas. I don't know. I don't know. We need we need some elaboration on this Not take the question. I can see No, I'm gonna look. Okay. What's it just we need some elaboration on it just says Where is it? What about sin gas? I don't know what sin gas is I don't either. I mean I fart. Can you expand on your question? I'm guessing he's talking about gasoline that you synthetically make. Yeah, I don't know So Let's see wait. Yeah, here's on you regarding the zip tie the zip tie. Sorry zip line Bob we could just use zip ties Yeah, Bob crotchet Bob crotchet. Yeah Regarding the zip line between islands that yachts would hit with masks Can you make a submersible one that you wind up into position when needed? Oh, that just sounds like a disaster Oh, yeah, that'd be that'd be totally great. Just yeah, you leave it No, no, wait, wait, but aside from the mast they have the seat. What's the thing that's in the water? Just imagine it's been sitting down there for a couple weeks Crusted with barnacles you wind it up you zip down and it's just like all these barnacles are cracking off in your face Anything you would need you would make like a something that went up Like or I could just get my boat and drive over there I know but I'm saying if you were stuck to that idea you would want to go up not down Because even if you went down they still have the what's the thing called draft draft Well, you could put it right on the bottom if it's a steel cable sink to the bottom It's gonna catch something No, we'll go right over it. It doesn't matter though. We're not doing that It's gonna drop their anchor and grab the zipline Okay, yeah, we're not putting half a mile of zipline up. So let's see if there's any Tomaters, I don't want her to be able to get to my house at easily anyway, so I'd like to know if we could get a couple more thumbs up Can we get a couple more thumbs up that would be great Yeah, yeah more thumbs up more thumbs up You're you're okay. This is one of the funny things about d'shanna. Her thumbs are like the same size as mine Your hand is like half the size but like you know quit quit moving your thumb down This is my skinny. Look at yeah. This is your big thumb. She has giant thumbs smaller than yours No, it's like no. Stop trying to make it look small stick it up. You're like Yeah, there now you're sticking it out. Look at this thumb. It's huge Tiny compared to yours. You're like you're half my weight almost anyway, and your thumbs are the same size Yeah You've been half my weight pretty close. Yeah, I don't think I've ever really been half your weight though You've known me when I was over 200 pounds and you've been pretty close to under. That's true Is that your belly? That's my stomach. I must be hungry. Are you hungry? I'm all right. Okay. Well anyway, tomatoes just gave a pile of thumbs up. Nice Yeah, they're all from the same hand Apparently important that I just I just I think try beautiful thumbs They they're beautiful thumbs. They're just really she could whack you and knock you out one way better than my other ones I'm not gonna. Why is that because my other ones all over. Why is it weird? Because you sucked on it when you were a kid I did Oh my god, my mom tried everything to me to stop doing that and why that's a great skill to have Yeah, when you get older Anyway, that's where I went to do it. Um, what's for lunch? I don't know. What is for lunch? I don't know. That's what, um, greed cook would like to do. I brought Over some sourdough dough. I made some sourdough bread all the time. Yeah, so you started making it now again, too I made it last night. I was just bored You're just bored. No, well, I guess we have like two loaves of sourdough bread coming chicken And we have chicken. Yeah, that's right. We've got chicken salad this morning. We went to the store before we did the We're supposed to be going to a party later. Yeah But this morning we went to the store and got chicken Yeah, three and a half pounds and we got flour because you said you're almost out of flour I could make chicken a little chicken nugget finger strip things You know what was delicious the other day that we had was onion rings made with sourdough Yeah, those were good, weren't they? Yeah, we don't have onions anyways doesn't matter, but you could do the same thing with chicken Anybody would like us to talk about the protest Oh, so I don't know much about the protest But right now So we're at one end of panama And all the way at the other end of panama is where like all the stuff is you know Like like the civilization the part that would get bombed in world war three So all the way at the other end of panama and panama is kind of like long and skinny It's like a hot dog. We're all the way at one end and you know panama city The canal yeah the canal and you know all the All the fancy stuff is at the opposite end of panama Yeah, the major airport Like if we wanted to fly somewhere we'd get in an get in an airplane in the little airport here fly to panama city And then there's a there's an international airport there Um, you could get to china or we could take a bus here From here to well not from right here, but we'd have to get to the bus in a boat But we could take a bus which is a 12 hour drive to panama city. So Um, so panama city is where everything is coming in and going out And then there's one major highway that runs the pan american highway. Is that what it's called? Isn't it? Oh, yeah, the and they're actually extending it to over here Oh Great anyway, it's called the pan american highway Okay, so it goes it runs the length of the country right and right now People are pissed off that the gas prices like suddenly shot up, which I understand Um, so like eight dollars a gallon from like three or four I mean you just kept creeping up and then suddenly it was like bam
