 Clean up my camera little well a little better Hmm. I'm actually slightly late today, but that's okay. And as usual I'm just gonna wait a minute for some people to show up. So if you're watching this after the fact feel free to Fast forward like two or three minutes Unless no one shows up in which case I'll just do nothing and go Okay, I know maybe that's it. Maybe no one's coming. Oh, no, it's someone's coming Lieutenant let Lieutenant Dan's legs are here. Let me turn up my Brightness a little so I can actually see all right I'm putting my shirt on here because as usual. I'm almost late. I think I was like a minute late because Well, did Shayna had a minor boat emergency again, I don't know. She's like she plans this stuff It's like well, Jamie's gonna do a thing. So like ten minutes before I need to have a boat emergency So I can go crazy and then anyway, that was ridiculous, but I Think everything's fine You guys are okay, right? Yeah, I think everything's fine. All right So a few people are here. Well, I did say at the beginning if you're watching this after the fact fast forward to hold on Let's go fast forward to two minutes in so maybe I'll actually wait till two minutes, which is 10 more seconds. Oh Andy says the picture is not good. Is the picture. No good. Do I have do I have crappy signal here? Dive garbage internet. Is this is this how I'm starting the new year with the With crappy signal. I think anything else is on Do you ever see the crocs or gators lieutenant Dan's legs? Well, I saw one with your legs in it once now. They're they're these they're caimans here just like little I Don't know. Are they crocodiles or alligators? I don't know. They're caimans or they're little guys Not big enough that they would attack someone like me but they might go after a little kid or something but Don't see them very often. I think I've only seen like one the whole time I've been here My neighbor had one like in her canal for a while I don't know if it's still there Hey, how's the how's the picture doing here Andy tells me the picture is not good. Is my picture terrible? I'm trying not to move too much. I know the lighting isn't great. I said I would try to just set up like a better Like a like a background somewhere where I could do these videos, but I've just been busy doing other stuff There's more important things to do I guess But I'll I'll get on that when I get a you know a rainy day and other things aren't going on Let's see Ray Bacon says backdrop. Yeah backdrop. I'll get I'll get a backdrop eventually Okay, I'm just gonna presume that the pictures everything everything is okay. So I'm just gonna start Yeah, we're blabbing with my usual morning monologue still morning, right? It's morning here 11 o'clock So right now my my legs are a little tired although I'm mostly recovered now But two days ago two or three days ago something like that. I'm just gonna say two days ago I'm not sure what day it was I Got my in my pedal boat and I was going to town because the weather said it was gonna be super sunny You know in the weather report it had double suns Which means clear day super sunny and I'm always like well if it's calling for for totally sunny Even if it's only like half right. I'm gonna get enough sun to you know power my boat pretty well So I got in my boat at 8 o'clock thinking I'm gonna cruise to town with some nice sun on my solar panels Because my boat is a is a pedal boat with solar panels and a motor no batteries or anything It just runs off directly off whatever suns coming in so I start driving and I'm like wow. It's kind of cloudy It's actually really cloudy. I'm like, ah Well, let's just keep going anything is once I get in the boat and start going I almost never turn back So I so I was like all right. I'm just gonna go And there was there was almost no sun the whole day I mean there was enough Sun to see but not enough Sun to like power my motor and you know There were there were maybe a few minutes here and there when the Sun peaked through the clouds And I got a little bit of help, but for the most part I was just pedaling hark and it was windy and wavy Which is also not in the in the weather forecast Samba and It was pretty tiring getting there So I got there and did all my stuff and got back in my pedal boat thinking ha hopefully it's the Sun comes out In the afternoon, you know like the like the weather forecast said even though it was wrong about the morning No, no Sun all the way back either and the waves got worse and the wind got worse and I was just you know fighting through this storm with no no Sun help just pedaling and And I mean I made it and everything was fine and when I got when I got close to the end You know I I pedaled really hard and went really fast too because I kind of like to I like to finish with a nice hard part Of course before that I have to kind of conserve my energy. So I made sure I can actually make it and You know a lot of times when people hear about how I do things like that They say oh, well, here's how you fix it You get a gas motor or you get more batteries or there's there's a thing you can do to fix it because you're struggling and had Difficulty we there's got to be something you can do to make it better Except I don't I don't think it's one of those things that needs to be made better. I think it's actually Incredibly valuable to have points in your life where you are at risk of having to put forth a great effort because like I Mean, I don't know what it took maybe maybe eight hours round trip of pretty hard pedaling Now when I just do exercises on my own I'm not gonna do eight hours of that hard pedaling and I was even thinking about that like on the way on the way back Like halfway back. I was like, oh man if I was just exercising on my own I would definitely stop here, but I've got two more hours of hard pedaling to go and that means I'm pushing myself like Further into this discomfort zone Further into the you know the exercising discomfort zone then I would normally choose to do myself and You know, even if I knew that that's what the weather was gonna be I wouldn't have gone that day so putting myself at some risk of What's the word some risk of being in a difficult situation Actually puts me in a situation where I end up putting forth a much greater effort Exercise wise than I would normally choose to do and I think that's a really valuable thing to have in your life I keep poking some there's a couple ants on the floor over here, and I'm just poking them There's no no one I'll have to check where they're coming from later. Anyway, it's really it's really beneficial to have in your life some something that that Forces you to push yourself harder than you would choose to push yourself and you know This is something that was part of our lives for most of human history It's just you know a pretty recent thing that people never have that experience So that's something I don't ever want to fix like I want to always have that Possibility that every every few weeks or every month or so I'm gonna end up in a situation Even even if it's only a few times a year like I'll end up in a situation where I really have to you know Dig deep and and push hard to get through and make something work And this kind of goes back to a question that someone asked a while ago, which was Jamie. How do you stay young? I mean besides the hair on top of my head, which is all gone You know other than that. I I haven't really experienced any Age degradation and we nothing nothing significant nothing noticeable, right? And I think a lot of that has to do skill oh, I think a lot of that has to do with these intermittent like extreme exertion things and Because you know when you when you exercise It keeps you strong and healthy for a longer for longer into your old age and Then and kind of the more you do that, you know within reason you don't want to get injured ever You don't want to get injured and wreck yourself But within reason is the more you do that kind of the stronger and healthier you stay for a longer period of time And particularly as we age one of the things we kind of let go of is that That daredevil Instinct to push ourselves as Hard and and as you get older and life kind of gets more comfortable It's easier to sit back and say I don't I don't need to push myself as hard as I used to so it's really it's I really enjoy having some aspect of my life where I put myself in a position where I may be forced To push myself harder than I then I really feel like it. Okay. Now other than that You know, it's a new year this is number one of January for January 1st, right? I'm pretty sure it is and I didn't do anything particular for a new year's although. I did hear some fire crappers going off So I was I was awake at midnight because I went to sleep like at 11 and then And my daughter who is two years old she got up She's like, oh, what's that noise and came and snuggled with me And I was like ask just firecrackers outside because people are celebrating the new year and explain to her and she's like Oh, okay, and it just went to sleep right here. So it's so nice having Little kids who go to sleep on you. It's so cute and snuggly So So this this year, I don't normally do like new year's resolutions or anything But if I'm thinking about doing something and it's kind of close to New Year's I'll be like, all right. Let's just make that a new year's resolution. So It would be a little bit hard to explain specifically, but I know I know what it is in my head. So basically this year I My new year's resolution is to kick more butt Kick more butt, you know, and one of the specific things is I'm going to socialize more and I've already started that a little more You know, I'm just, you know putting a little more effort into into being social Not that I'm super anti-social, but you know, my lifestyle is like I live on an island in the ocean like It's pretty easy to not socialize. It's kind of like the default. So I'm I'm starting to put a little more effort into socializing partly because you know, I've got enough things Finished around here that I can relax a little bit and I feel like I can actually Socialize whereas before like when I was building my house if someone started a conversation with me I'd be like can't talk gotta work can't talk gotta work go go go But now, you know, things are a little more relaxed. I still have tons of work to do and stuff But but I feel like I can stop to have conversation with people, you know and meet new people and do stuff And that's one of the things I want to I want to meet some more people. I want to get some more more good people in my life because I'm building this this village here and I just recently had this conversation With my neighbor who has recently become part of this village and he was he was saying yeah Don't call it a calm a community because then everyone thinks commune call it a village Because when people hear village then they think hard work, but when they hear community It's like this magical place where they're just gonna go have fun. I think I get what he's saying So from now on when I talk about that, you know what I'm trying to kind of grow and set up here I'm not gonna call it a community anymore. It is a community. I'm gonna call it a village So I'm building the village but but it's but I'm not owning the village or anything It's just you know neighbors. I want to have good neighbor more good neighbors. So yeah, I want to start socializing more getting getting just just meeting more people and interacting with more people and Hopefully meet some people here and there who might actually want to move here be part of part of our little village here Which is pretty cool. It's it's really it's really nice Having a few neighbors that are people that I there's that miss you I'll get over here, you know, it's really nice having neighbors that I like who take care of themselves Which is a huge thing so nice when you have neighbors who take care of themselves And then also do creative things and we can collaborate and talk about things Oh, it's a beautiful thing, you know It's just like you know when you when you talk to people on YouTube and you watch videos of someone Who's doing cool things and you're like, oh, yeah I like to do cool things too and like you you get to talk with someone who's like interested in like Building stuff or or exercising or whatever whatever you're into, you know And it's even better when you actually have people like that Like in real life as neighbors I think I got him. Oh, I totally got him. Yes Mosquito death, okay so, yeah, I want to I want to start socializing more and Hopefully meet some more people who who want to become part of this village and contribute in some cool way Not not contribute like give people stuff or anything Just just become part of a cool village part of the cool community and Other than that, you know, I want to meet just more cool people who may not necessarily want to live here Anything just people to collaborate with and share ideas and maybe hang out from time to time And then of course, I also wanted me to girlfriend at some point That would that would also be nice. So just in general, I'm working on I'm working on socializing more and I Think it's going well I haven't done a super ton different But I went to town the other day when I when I pedaled there even though I was pretty exhausted from all the peddling there You know, I put a little more effort into saying hi to people and talking to people just kind of randomly And I think it's going well and I'm actually thinking I need to start some kind of club Well, actually the first thing that that just made me think of is why don't I just start an actual physical adventure builders club? But I don't know if I'd want to do that. I Maybe I'll think about it, but I feel like I should do some kind of Some kind of not not drinking the Kool-Aid kind of club because you know, the adventure builders club is more of a It's more of an ideology not an actual physical club So I'm thinking of I'm thinking maybe I should start some kind of club like if I was on land I would probably just start a running club, but I'm not on land So yeah, I gotta think about what kind of club I could start and you know get some people involved in something Maybe something to do with camping or I don't know Hiking or something or wilderness stuff, but so that's what that's what's going on with me. That's what I've been thinking about, you know This year. I want to kick more butt and do a good job and oh I've also been talking to DeShana about this and we've kind of been Talking a lot about what how we can work together better to kind of further our goals of of having you know Self-sufficient life here. That's positive and happy and you know build a village and all that you know Just get all this all this stuff We're trying to we're trying to work together more not that we don't ever work together But you know we kind of do our separate things and sometimes it kind of interferes with The other person a little bit But like yeah, we're trying to get more on the same page and kind of work work together toward for the same kind of goals All right, so let's let's see what you guys are talking about here. What do I got here? Do I see Crocks or Yeaters? Yeah, we have these little little caimans. They're like little alligators or crocodiles I don't know. I don't know what they're they're like, but whatever caimans are It has been better, but it's fine. He's talking about the video. Yeah, I don't know and Yeah, I don't know. I can't do anything about the internet connection right now. So hopefully hopefully it's going fine Hey, Jamie. Oh, Jordan bacon. I love your name. It is Delicious. Okay, you've inspired me a lot. I'm 20 and life got pretty lonely when I didn't follow my peers way of living Yeah, I I totally know what you're talking about and it helped me a lot stumbling across your channel Thank you so much. Oh, that is beautiful. Thank you for telling me Yeah I'm just gonna elaborate. I know there wasn't a question there anything but Yeah, I'm same same for me when I was When I was younger and I decided that I was just gonna go off the track that that everyone I knew was pushing me down and I was being pushed pretty hard down this track, you know, I was I was a big athlete and I was going to an Ivy League school and everything was like everything was like Narrower and narrower. You're gonna carry all the money. You're gonna make money You're gonna make money. You're gonna be like like the you know the the alpha male Yeah, you know the idea of an alpha male today is just a superficial nonsense thing I actually made a video about that recently. Maybe I'll upload it. I wasn't sure if I should But maybe I will Sometimes sometimes I make these videos where I'll talk to the camera for like 10 minutes or 15 minutes or 20 minutes Even Sometimes I just erased them So yeah, there's a whole bunch of those that I've just erased. I'm like, ah, maybe I just don't want to get into that Because someone it'll it'll always upset someone. But anyway, yeah I mean when I made the decision to to put it to stop doing what everyone else wanted me to do and start doing what I thought was right. Yeah, totally lonely I know I know exactly what you're talking about and that was one of the big reasons I started doing these videos was to connect with with people like that And to maybe you know help inspire people who were in the same situation I was so that is beautiful to hear. Thank you Thank you for letting me know That's awesome. Oh Air Creek Harry says oh air Creek Harry. Yeah, I watched your video about making the dome. That's pretty cool You know sometimes I have dreams of having a Concrete or air creed or whatever sprayer that just magically refills itself. It's just like I could just it's just like a And it's just like magic all the materials get here because you know, I mean a lot of times people watch videos of someone spraying mortar concrete cementy kind of stuff and You don't see all the work that goes into getting the materials there and getting all that set up before you actually do that So I often get the Get the advice. I'm just gonna concrete sprayer like actually applying the concrete to something here is Is like hardly any of the work almost all the work is getting the materials here. But anyway, yeah, I saw I saw your Your inflated Tyvek dome thing video. Oh Yeah, happy new year. Did you get to see my Tyvek dome Airform yet? Yes. I sent you an email. Yeah, I totally saw it It's pretty cool. I Don't I don't feel inspired to do that, but it was pretty cool. I like it. Yeah, it's good Ray bacon says burnout. Oh, man. What was I was I talking about? Well, you don't want to burn out your bacon, of course because it's you know Delicious before it gets burned and burn the bacon man. It's just like So Ray bacon may be talking about burnout. Oh, are you talking about burnout in terms of exercise? Yeah, that's that's kind of why it's it's good to have this intermittent thing where you where you really need to like dig Deeper than than normal. So like So I've had I've had a fair amount of experience. I'm not even sure if this is what you're talking about But this I'm gonna talk about what what how I understand burnout. So I ran track and field for a lot a long time and There was always this concern of burnout and occasionally you'd see someone who was like amazing for a couple years and then their their performances dropped off and you know it was always like I burnt out they got burnout and one of the one of the ways you can avoid burnout Might be a little counterintuitive. Usually they say, you know, you got to cut back You got to come back from the hard work because you you go up and you stay at this this high level of hard work You know, it's hard to stay there. You kind of start dipping down You can't keep it up and you start burning out. The one thing you can do is Every once in a while do something just insanely difficult So if you're like if this is your comfort level down here at the bottom And here's your hard training level and it's you know You're you're basically pushing yourself up and trying to keep that up If every once in a while you just like do something really crazy hard then it kind of resets your your comfort zone and You get maybe a little like maybe you're you can then accept something a little more Uncomfortable than your hard training and you kind of get used to that a little bit So it makes it easier to stay at that level Because you know anytime you want to try to stay at a level It's it really makes it easier if you go beyond that level once in a while just to just to reset your What your what your body and your like stuff thinks is it is the acceptable level? Tomaters must be on New time schedule. Yeah. Tomaters. Tomaters comes an hour late now Hello watching from New Jersey. Hey, New Jersey. I've been in New Jersey a lot I used to have a good friend in New Jersey and I would visit her every time I drew well a couple times Yeah, sometimes when I drive through there anyway Yes, your Sunless trip. Yeah, so that my Sunless trip was just a couple days ago Okay, white merchant flower says definitely upload the alpha male video Jamie. All right. No, we want to see it. Okay, I Know but I know like if I say like I have a whole bunch of videos that I haven't uploaded Like a bunch of people are gonna say just upload them. Let's see him I'll upload that one. I think it's fine There was one that was kind of related that I did just before that although I think it's kind of covered in the second one So I'll probably skip the first one just do the second one basically it's just I Don't know. I'll upload it. Well, maybe I'll give you a very brief summary, but then then I'll upload it So the bright very brief summary is basically You know, there's all these There's all these alpha male guys and you know dudes trying to tell tell tell men how to how to be better men And they're always telling you how to how to climb up this this dominance hierarchy Where you're supposed to get in there and force your way up but I think there's a more important dominance hierarchy, which is a competence hierarchy and People in the competence hierarchy. They receive a lot of Attention they like when you're high up on the competence hierarchy You get a lot of attention when people need stuff done So when think when times are difficult, but then when times get easy People don't care about competent people that much and they kind of look down on them And then they just care about these whoever's taking the most and that's you know This superficial dominance hierarchy we hear about now where it's like yeah climb your way to the top and take as much as you can kind of thing You know gives many cars and whatever Except when you have too many people doing that there aren't enough competent people Keeping everything going and that's why our civilization is kind of Cratering right now Okay, but yeah, I go into more detail No, we want to see it I can't get out of the system because I have to take care of my elderly parents I can't just run off to an island Yeah, there's there's a lot. There's a lot of stuff to To take apart in that sentence Yeah, I mean you basically have to decide for yourself. What is What is that priority what is acceptable for me I don't want to I don't want to crap on my parents or anything But they kind of made it easy for me because I'm not taking care of my parents I Don't know if any of them are watching right now. Sorry. I'm just not taking care of you. You can take care of yourself And I'm not arguing about it. I Mean I would like to but yeah, that's that's not gonna happen All right Did I get to did I actually get to the end of comments already? That's weird Is it just not showing comments or is that it or people quiet today? Is it the new year and people are thinking and for my new year's resolution. I'm gonna talk less Possibly. All right. Well, let's let's talk about this this This I can't get out of the system because I have to take care of my elderly parents I can't just run off to an island first I Personally didn't just run off to an island It was there was no just that makes it sound like it was really easy It was a lot of hard work and I had to take care of a lot of responsibilities before I could even leave to go and then you know, I mean You know kids to take care of and my brother actually uses his kids as as one of his excuses I mean, I think he just doesn't want to live this kind of life But you know, it would be just as easy to say, you know, I can't I can't go off and do this thing because I have kids and I'm not I'm not saying I'm not trying to diminish your responsibility to your elderly elderly parents, but You know, it's and again, you know, it's it's really difficult to say anything about that situation knowing basically nothing about the situation but Yeah, you know, there's there's there one thing I've learned in life is that when Whenever a situation seems impossible, there's always something that There's there's always something that makes it not impossible where you just have to see say things from a different perspective Or maybe maybe change the way. Yeah, change the way you look at something or change one of the parameters of what's good So maybe maybe just running off to an island isn't isn't even what you'd want to do anyway You know, maybe maybe break down your life into its most basic components and then maybe you can you can Figure out what you really care about what you really want to do and how your parents can fit into that But of course, you know, there's a very limited amount that I can say about that without being insulting So I apologize if any of that comes off as insulting. I really don't know your situation, but I Don't know that might that might be relevant People were really confused about your sawmill in the comments. Oh really? Okay Confused well the sawmill should become less confusing as as things progress, but basically Should I get a thing and draw it? I just yeah, let me let me get a paper. I'll draw it. Oh All right paper, oh Speaking of bacon Okay, let's find a blank piece of paper while I make some burps. Oh Schematics for an Inverter Okay, here we go All right, so what I've got so far on my lumber mill It is I draw this. Okay. Oh, this is terrible drawing Okay, so basically what I what I've made so far and I think I'm I have one more video that I have to upload about it So I've got a motor here and it's got a shaft that goes to a blade, right? Like that's all I'm making so far And then I just attached this this housing here between the bearings that hold the shaft straight and the motor and right here There's going to be a pivot point so this whole thing can turn that way or that way so right now It would make a vertical cut And if it rotates up Good drawing dude, then it would make That I would make a horizontal cut and So this is this is the part I'm working on so far now this whole thing has to be connected to Let's start a new drawing here. I Can do the new drawing well, I'm showing it. All right Okay Let me start this. There's gonna be a there's gonna be a track, right? let's just say it's a couple pipes and then on that pipe is gonna be some little wheels and some kind of big frame that goes up on it and That whole frame can roll down this track, right? So I can put a Put a log in here. Oh, man Yeah, that's just bark one. Okay, so I can put a log in here and this frame can drive Drive over the whole log now this thing Attaches to another frame that's kind of in here And this this piece can move up and down So I can adjust the height that I'm cutting through the log and then this thing attaches in here And let's say it's kind of in here like this and it's got the blade and then you know the motor sticks out there or whatever so The motors here the blades there it's attached to this thing which is attached that thing and this whole thing rolls down The log and as it's rolling down the log this can make a cut Down log and then this swivels up And then the blade instead of cutting like that the blade cuts like this and the motor's sticking up like this and then it can so You know we get one cut down like this And then we get another cut a horizontal cut and then we can take a chunk out and we keep making cuts like that and then you know you basically make a grid of cuts in this turning it all into two by fours or four by sixes or whatever I want to cut and That's pretty much it Maybe someone can elaborate on what what the confusion is or if that explains it Well, I really confused about your sawmill in the comments. Hello, sir. I hope your new year is a great one I hope so too. I hope everyone has it a great new year Can yeah, can you show how it's going to work? Hopefully that explained it I don't understand the need to pivot the cutting blade. Okay. Hopefully I explain that so you can cut this way And then and then come back and cut this way look up swing mill or a swing blade lumber mill And that will explain it and just like watch video one more time They're really cool because you know, you just put the log there once you get the log in place You don't have to move it anymore, which is nice because the log is like the heaviest part You know, you have a thousand pounds of wood. It's not it's nice to not have to Shift it around and get it lined up and everything. Just get it lined up once and then you do all your cuts Pivoting pivoting the blade so it doesn't have to roll the log. Yes, exactly. I think dolphins invented cancer So they could have some people to swim with Is that is that because when people die they get thrown into the ocean? I don't know. I'm not sure about that Hey, it's Tomaters. Hi guys. How you doing in? What do you think about the US economy? Oh man? How long do you want this video to be? What advice can you give for us who are part of the system? Okay? I Mean this is this is something I've been talking about for a long time and now I Mean when I would talk about this like 10 years ago people would say Ah, you're crazy. Don't I talking about and then every once in a while someone would be like, I don't know Jamie I just are you just extrapolating seeing ahead and I'd be like, yeah but now we're at the point where Where so many people are talking about it. I think I can talk about it more freely and it's not like it's not such a crazy thing to say so Inflations getting works, right? I mean, I feel like everyone can kind of agree on that, you know prices of everything is going up kind of life Quality of life is going down as prices are going up, which doesn't make sense Technologically speaking because we have more technology. We're increasing our level of technology The quality of life is going down and this has a lot to do with well partly just the way we were using technology It's kind of stupid, but largely because financial things For instance The United States just printed out an insane amount of money last year was it last year there before last last year I don't print it out huge amount of money and I guess I guess I'll explain the basic inflation problem Say say your country has a Million dollars. This doesn't matter what the numbers say your country has a million dollars That that's the total amount of money. That's the amount of money that can buy all the stuff, right? Now say your country prints out another million dollars now You've got two million dollars just out there and now two million dollars buys all the stuff Which means that pretty soon, you know It takes a little bit of time for this to all take effect because it's not like as soon as you print the money It instantly changes everything But once people start buying they start buying more than they could before because they have more money So that the prices have to have to level out so that people aren't running out of stock all the time and pretty quickly Since you've doubled the amount of money It doubles the price of everything roughly it actually it actually often is worse than this But I'm going to keep everything pretty simple so And the terrible thing about this is that when the government prints out two million dollar or a prince out another million dollars They're not saying to everyone how much money do you have right now? You have ten dollars? Okay. Here's another ten Oh, you have forty thousand dollars. Okay. Here's another forty thousand They're not they're not giving everyone the money and just making it so there's there are more bills The government is printing out all this money, which means they've just taken 50% of the value of the money So they've just stolen half the money from people and this is how the government's been a lot of governments have been just kind of like paying things off by You know, it's it's it's like the It's like the the hardest way to defend someone stealing from you It's basically impossible like if I'm sitting here with a hundred dollars and the government prints out twice as much money Or prints out these equal amount of money if we have now my hundred dollars It's just worth fifty dollars and there's nothing I can do about it Other than go to the government and say hey, hey, hey Give me some of the money you just printed out because that's that's the value that's coming from my money. You got a so anyway Government the United States government printed out a huge amount of money like an insane amount. It wasn't double but a lot which mean in inflation is going up and You know, some people say oh, but there's no corresponding instant spike of inflation There is no instant spike of inflation It takes some time for the money to get out there and go through all the system And then this person has to increase their costs and then this person has to but this person has to increase their costs Because more people are buying and because this person increased your cost and that's their supplier It's this is big chain effect that takes a while to bounce around till everything stabilizes But costs are going up and I don't think anyone can can really deny that And it's not going to get better. It's not just going to get a stop It's going to keep getting worse and there are too many people and I talked about this a little bit in the The alpha male video I made so I guess I'll have to upload that and you know Some people will be upset about it and angry, but whatever it's just make sense So the economy is going to keep getting worse and People who are relying on money are going to have an increasingly difficult time And the advice the best advice I can give for how to deal with this I mean now that There's there are so many things we could have done in the past But now that we're at this point and we're going in this direction and there's there's momentum going in this direction There's nothing in the site that's going to change it. It's just going to keep going and keep getting worse Try to become less dependent on money because whatever you know You could try to just make more money to try to keep up with with the inflation, but it's it's a losing battle You know, it's like trying to swim up swim up river like get out of the river start walking on the shore So stop using stop like stop using money for everything start limiting what you rely on money for So maybe that means starting to repair your own things or build some of your own things Like if you have a backyard grow some food in it, I mean you can you know, I I've kind of Said that my childhood wasn't great, but one of the really cool things I mean my parents weren't all horrible They just you know weren't weren't that loving or anything but they did a lot of cool things and like my mom always had this huge garden in the backyard and grew all these vegetables and you can grow a lot in in not that big a space you can grow a lot of food and You know that the price of vegetables is going up and up and up And if you can if you can grow a bunch of your own vegetables, you're gonna be much less dependent on money and You know as things get more and more expensive if you can reduce your the amount the amount you're dependent on money you can keep the same rough lifestyle where other people who are just relying on money are just gonna be going downhill and And You know even worse if things get to a point where you know, it's like like crashing like You know kind of like Venezuela did a few years ago I mean you can look up what happened there But basically they had a similar ish situation to what we have now Where inflation got insane and like a loaf of bread cost like $40,000 or something at that point It was just like we're screwed. You know if if things get that bad The people who are growing their own food are gonna be the only ones who are gonna be like even sort of okay All the other people are gonna be like going crazy and you know, it could get it could get pretty violent and scary So if there's if there's any way you can just start doing more things for yourself It will insulate you from Being dragged down by this all these financial schemes all these Ponzi schemes and crap is People in these positions of power are Are doing they're supposed to be in the leadership positions But you ever notice that they don't call it a leadership position anymore because the leaders of the world are not leading anyone They call them positions of power now Because now they're just using their power to dominate other people and force people to do what they want and take everything Which is not what it's supposed to be it's supposed to be a leadership position This is another reason why our society is going downhill because You know, it's just it's just on so many levels The wrong things are happening. You know the people on this this superficial dominance hierarchy are running everything and the people on the Competence hierarchy are just being pushed aside too much Okay, and on that note you know if anyone if there's anyone out there who's been watching these videos and Is thinking about maybe wanting to move here and you know Join this little village we have, you know come stay for a while And until you can find some land to buy and then build your own house and set up your own Yeah, there are mosquitoes. There are mosquitoes. Just so you know, they're not usually in my house but anyway Yes, I made an email my email should be down here and you know we can talk I've I've helped a few people move here and then Like one guy is living on on my land right now pays a little bit of rent But it's like I started charging rent because at first when people would come and stay I was like yeah to stay on my land on my land, you know for free. Don't worry about it. And oh my gosh Don't let people stand your land for free because they they don't value it They just trash the place So it's proven to be much better to charge a bit of rent and it's not much But it's it's something and then the the the value it much more but anyway, if anyone if anyone wants to come and Maybe move to a place that's off-grid kind of out in the wilderness you know close enough to cities that You know, you can go get supplies and stuff But far enough that you kind of insulated from all that all the crap that comes from cities You know send me an email we can talk about it. And maybe you want to come and maybe you just want to You know think about it or whatever Yeah, send me an email. My email is the adventure builder The adventure builder movie at gmail.com so it's down there Originally that was just an email to field questions about the adventure builder movie, which I made like a year ago Wish but now it's just kind of become my my email Okay, what do you think about you as economy Advice for people who are in the system. Yeah Tomaters says saw mill is coming out great from what I have seen. I am really happy with the with the lumber mill part so far and I put I This isn't this this isn't in the videos yet. I have to upload this part still but I got that that Frame bolted into the motor and bolted to the bearings. I turned it on all so nice It's like I mean there's a little bit of vibration, but it's just like yeah, I turned it on and it was just like You know when you you know when you have a machine that's just like it's just running nice and smooth Yeah, apparently I got everything lined up really well and like I could take my What do you call it? my my triangle Let me just draw it my one of these You know I took my one of these and stood it on it and it stood up without falling over because it was Vibrating so little so it's yeah It seems to be running really really smooth and really nice and the frame seems really strong You know if I get the blade on there it should be I haven't turned it on with the blade on because this is a little bit scary But I'll I'm planning on doing that soon. Maybe after I finish this video Then Hansen says happy new year Jamie and family. I've been watching you a long time And was sometimes frustrated and how fast you seem to get things done really because I feel like they take forever a lot of times Oh, it's hard to realize the power of a couple hours at a time Yeah, I mean a lot of times this is actually something I kind of talked about a lot You know like building my house took a year which which doesn't Yeah working on something like really hard for a year you when you're at like the halfway point It's just like gosh, I'm only at the halfway point and it seems like seems like you're making like almost no progress like I'm making Let's see like a quarter of a percent Progress every day But you're right, you know you keep working on something and some time goes by And now at this point I look back and I and it's just like yeah, my house is here You I remember it being a lot of hard work and it took a year But I mean yeah, you just you just keep plugging away at stuff and And they and they get done they happen Social groups are the same way to get into an interesting project and people start showing up a couple hours at a time Yeah, so I want to yeah, I definitely want to get some kind of Socializing group thing going more, you know, I used to have This wasn't this wasn't Like a like a regular thing or anything But I used to have every year adventure builder adventure builder meetings at my house in Vermont Maybe I'll start that again this year. They were always on like the week of my birthday So it would be like the weekend Before my birthday the week of my birthday and then the week after and some people would come like for the weekend Some people would come camp for the whole week And I met really cool people doing that I haven't done that here partly because here is not as easy to get to as my place in Vermont was but it's a beautiful place So yeah, maybe I maybe I should do that and have you know, May 3rd is my birthday Maybe maybe this May 3rd. I should I should re-initiate yearly adventure builder meetings And people can come and stay for a weekend or a week or whatever they want and just hang out and Make some stuff or talk and whatever But yeah, I want to get I want to get some more regular social Meetings groups things doing going where we do something. I recently started building an airplane. Oh my gosh And had to remind myself that it's a couple hours at a time So you're probably having the same experience I'm having with the lumber mill because you know, I've been working on the lumber mill for like a week And all I have is that that main that one that one part There's a huge amount of other stuff, but I'm going through it Like very deliberately and slowly making sure I get every part done right at a time And I imagine when you're building an airplane, you really need to make sure you get every part Done right as you go. So yeah, definitely don't rush that that is really cool though Then I would love to see Pictures or video or anything about the airplane you're building like do you have the design? Can you email me something or do you have a YouTube channel or something? I'm sure a lot of people here like if you have a YouTube channel or something I'm sure a lot of people here would want to see it or even some Instagram pictures or something Yeah, I would love to see what you're doing with an airplane and Because that's something, you know, I want to build an airplane at some point I'm not I'm not at that point where I can do it these comments are Link limited so hence many comments a little bit at a time. Yeah Toby says hello, Jamie and family. Hello, Toby. I hope you're having an excellent year. Just started not much that can go wrong so far. Oh Yeah, yeah, so far my my year is going pretty well except for a minor a minor boating Incident this morning. She's just showing I had a problem with her boat where she kind of made a mistake It was like Jamie come fix it and I was like what and it was like too late and something crashed and broke and I was like, oh But other than that, it's fine. I think that's hopefully worked out fine. I Work about 30 minutes and take about two hour break and only work four shifts a day Yeah, you can get a surprising amount done Doing like 30 minutes at a time four times a day partly because you know when you work when you work steadily on something you end up spending a lot of the time thinking Particularly, you know, if you're working on something that's complicated You have to figure out. So sometimes I do that exact same thing when I'm working You know, I'm like a kind of a difficult project like I'll work for like half an hour on something and then for a couple hours I'll go do something else, but then it's always rolling around in the back of my head So that when I come back to it, I'm really productive because I kind of figured out some of the the difficulties in the problems Glad the government sends the money every month Good thing. Oh I think there would be better Wi-Fi on Mars. Am I is my signal terrible now? Yeah, sorry, man We need to be ready for industrial collapse. Yeah, I mean Champ is that's champ who just said that so You know, you don't have to be expecting the industrial world to collapse or the financial world to collapse to to be prepared for it and You know a lot of times people say, oh, why are you getting ready for that? You're expecting some big conspiracy theory terrible thing to destroy everything whatever But like what's the downside of being prepared? Like say Say I'm I'm preparing for some Terrible financial decline and I think a lot of these things aren't like a crisis. It's not gonna just explode It's just gonna slowly get worse and worse So say I'm preparing for some some terrible financial decline and you know Just a decline and that's the system and all that And I and I do all these things. I build a house. I become self-sufficient I start growing my own food, you know, I make boats that don't rely on gasoline and you know I basically make my life set up so I can operate even in a post-apocalyptic world well, if If it all goes to crap then I'm gonna be in a really good position Relative to a lot of other people and if it doesn't all go to crap and it all everything is fine Fine. I didn't I didn't really lose anything by doing that stuff It's an interesting thing to do even if it ends up that I'm preparing for nothing So yeah, I mean, you know prepare for the future. What's that saying? Prepare prepare for the worst hope for the best the really good way to deal with things Speaking of inflation. Have you checked your bitcoin address recently Jamie? I Well, I've checked the bitcoin price recently I have not checked my actual bitcoin wallet thing. Do I need to go do that? Did someone send me some bitcoin? I'm gonna go. Well, I'll go do that after this. Let me write that down Jamie Check Bitcoin if someone sent me some Bitcoin, that'd be amazing. Thank you. Um, yeah, I haven't I haven't really You know done anything with mine recently because you know, it's down. So I've just kind of been ignoring it, I guess Crime is going to go up too. Yes crime is yeah, basically when you're When your civilization is in decline Crime goes up Houses are overpriced. Yes, they are rent went up as well. Yeah, I mean everything that's the thing I mean A lot of people don't realize how bad this situation Is right now like it's already bad Like a lot of people have lost their homes people are are struggling to get by where they didn't like 20 years ago You know when I was a kid like life was much I guess easier You know things I keep I keep seeing more and more people struggle as time goes by And when you have a trend like that and it's consistently going in a direction for a long period of time You can kind of count on it continuing to go in that direction And yeah, people are getting more desperate as they get more desperate crimes going to get worse people are going to be You know when when when you're having difficulty feeding your kids People people are going to be tempted to do some not so savory things because Yeah I really I rely too much on electricity and non salt water To move to an island in the ocean. Well, that's not true You could you could have electricity and and fresh water, but I'm saying it's a decision Yeah, you don't you know one has to move to an island in the ocean and the other thing is like If you want to insulate yourself from the system, you don't have to do what I did Like I moved to an island partly because I love the ocean and I love boats and I love Just the space of being out in the water. It's a beautiful thing to me I love the sun rises and the sunset That's over the water. I love fishing and all you know, I love all this stuff But you could you can move off grid anywhere in the mountains and In the desert, you know, wherever wherever wherever speaks to you Most of my equipment would just die. Oh, you're talking about Salt water and electricity well, um, you know, I have I have lots of equipment here that's Uh, sensitive to salt water, although I don't know what your equipment is You might be talking about outdoor equipment that you really would not want to get in the salt water Um, yeah, although I mean if you're on a piece of land It's not like the salt water comes up on the land unless you're in a place that gets really stormy And it has lots of ocean spray and stuff or whatever Like I said, you know, if you have stuff that that doesn't work on an island You don't want to be an island. Obviously don't be on an island One guy one house one year. That's fast. Is that fast? Yeah, maybe that is fast. It's a pretty cool house. I mean I've built houses before that were like, you know, took weeks To build But they were like always out of wood wood so easy to build with I mean if I built this house out of wood I could have done it in less than a month but building with the concrete and the styrocrete Takes a lot longer at the beginning, but it should outlast anything wood by by a huge amount and presuming I Presuming I did a decent job on it You know, this house will be here for my my great-grandkids, which is the plan You know, like that's what I you know, one of the things I was saying was to insulate yourself from the financial Disasters and stuff kind of make yourself less dependent on money And one of the one of the ways you make yourself less dependent on money Is set up things in your life That don't need maintenance that don't need to constantly be replaced. For instance a woodhouse You know a woodhouse is going to last a certain amount of time and then you know, you start having to deal with wood rot Termites and stuff like that. And I know there are like 100 year old woodhouses around I I totally get that. There are also, you know, 1000 year old stone houses around Uh T H I D classic dude, Mike. What is T H I D? This house is done. My house isn't done. I don't know This weekly Sunday thing is an is an adventure building. It is it is you're right classic dude, Mike This is an adventure building meeting. Uh, and I also So I'm gonna keep continue doing these but I also want to start having more like in person like real life activities with, you know With real with people in real life. I do a lot of thinking. Tomaters. Yes, that's good Uh, let's see Your balance, I don't know Oh DRMR are you telling me how much that's how much bitcoin you have you're not telling me how much bitcoin I have because Unless you sent that to me Um, I don't know. I'm not sure what's going on DRMR. Can you explain? Did you send me to bitcoin that would be insane? I mean amazing, but Hi, Jamie Bad kitty. Oh bad kitty. Happy new year to new year to all of you Saddie Dutcher jeez ruin the surprise dude. Did someone actually send me to bitcoin? That's that's crazy. Do it now. I'm gonna Ah Now I'm gonna be thinking that and I'm gonna check and be like, oh, there's nothing there, but if there is something there, that would be pretty That'd be pretty sweet The problem with competence hierarchies. Oh, let's hear it. Oh, let's hear it Is that you have to be competent To appreciate competence. Yes, that's true Well, actually not necessarily you have to either be well to truly appreciate Like everything about competence. Yes, you have to be competent, but to To appreciate it to the degree that you value it highly You either need to be competent yourself or you need to need competence so like when a civilization Is being built when when times are hard when when things are difficult people look to competent people like Like when when settlers came And let's ignore the whole You know massacring indians things. Let's just move past that That's a whole other topic. But when settlers came to north america They weren't looking to leaders who were like flashy and had a cool car not the cars back then But you know that that kind of thing who wore the fancy suit No, people were looking to whoever could solve the problem whoever could figure out how to grow more food Who could build houses that's that's the leaders they were looking for because that was what they needed Because when you have Kids who don't have enough food You do not care about some flashy guy in a suit. So yeah, I'm gonna come take care of y'all All your problems. Yeah, no problem. No, you want you want like a farmer And you do not care about the flashy guy when your kids are hungry. You want a freaking farmer That's who you want telling people what to do and figuring stuff out who who is the best farmer because you know at that point All the social all the social nonsense goes out the window And it's the same thing with you know, all these all these weird social justice things we have going on today You know bill burr makes a hilarious. I love bill burr And I actually remembered his name usually when I start talking to him. I'm like, what's that guy's name? Yeah, bill burr He told a hilarious thing about feminism, you know feminism today has nothing to do with you know women being Empowered and being able to do things, you know, it's kind of become this this man hating thing where women need to get stuff All the time But he's he makes this hilarious joke about there are no feminists in a house fire You know when there's a house fire the feminists are like men you get in there We're getting out of the way. I'm just a girl, you know Anyway, but there's all kinds of silly Social things like that that as soon as people really are desperate and need to get things done All that goes out the window and it's like no, we need competent people Let's see you have to have competent You have to be competent to other to appreciate competence If others are more competent than you How do you know how much? Also humility is a prerequisite. Yes humility is a huge prerequisite And and that's something that comes with being in a difficult situation Like you're in a situation where you can't can't feed your kids arrogance goes out the window too It's like okay. I don't care. I don't care how amazing I just need I just need to do whatever I need to do to feed my kids I will ask anyone. Please help anyone can help you know you Like when when times get hard and you really need To do a good job to survive that's when competence becomes important and all that other nonsense goes away And you know people stop saying oh, you know confidence is the best thing when you're arrogant You know you get all the girls and all that stuff all that disappears as soon as people need competent people Have any of your golf cart batteries ever died? Well, they don't really die. They just kind of like slowly Get worse and then But yeah, there are some that I'm not using since you don't throw anything away I assume you would refurbish them. Does that require some nasty chemicals or something? Well, I haven't actually refurbished refurbished any Lead acid batteries yet however I saw one guy did it with like pickling salt like he basically pickled the battery Like turn turn the lead plates into pickles kind of I mean not literally turn them into pickles, but he put pickling salt into the battery and it started working again better than it was with the with the acid in there and yeah, when when At some point I want to start doing some stuff with that because I do have some batteries right now That are pretty much dead And I would like to refurbish them But it's not at the top of my priority list yet because I've got some other thing before that, you know You got to grow more food. I've got this This bridge that's going really well and the spot up here that I'm digging out in a Guest house and the power system for the lumber mill then I get to get the lumber mill to cut the wood for my upper floors Because I still have you know Oh, my whole house of stuff is just on my first floor. So it's it'll be really nice to get everything where it goes But at some point I do want to get to Dealing with all dead batteries Ian. Happy new year Now I meant oh great DRMR. Yeah, I totally misunderstood what you're saying before now. I meant like sensitive electronics music equipment, etc Oh, you're talking about that stuff. Well sensitive electronic equipment You just keep it inside like I have electronics here that are fine As long as you know, you make sure you don't come in from swimming and drip all over stuff and One of the things with electronics if you're in a humid environment And we learned this Was it two weeks ago or last week when I turned this tablet on and the camera over here Was all foggy. It's because I hadn't turned turned the tablet on for like a week So if you're in a humid environment, it's good to make sure you turn your your stuff on regularly Because it'll heat itself up and dry out the moisture on the inside And yeah, so I've made sure that I use my tablet at least once a day for some something and I haven't had any more fogging issues Okay collapse now avoid the rush if you collapse now and something fails you You always have recourse if you wait and your self-sufficiency learning processes fail yeah, so Yeah, lauren booker makes a good point. So if we're in a situation where our where the system is collapsing If you if you kind of wait it out till the end you're going to end up in a really difficult position Uh, and it's going to keep getting worse So a lot of times people think well now is not the time to change my lifestyle because things are kind of difficult You know, it's hard to pay my rent things things are going to keep going getting worse and worse And like a year from now five years from now you're going to look back at now and say oh I should have done it back then because the things were way easier so yeah, you know The best time to get out of a out of a failing system is right now as soon as you can You know yesterday would have been better, but since yesterday has already happened right now do it as soon as you can Uh, maybe and you know, maybe you can't Grab all your stuff and just bug out right now But work toward it like start working toward it as soon as you can And try to become less reliant on the system as soon as you can Before you get to the point where you are totally screwed and lose any ability To have any control over in your overall life where you just you're just suffering and stuck Like while you still have some Some ability to buy things and maybe you know, you can sell your house for I mean if you have a house right now I mean Someone was saying earlier housing prices are so inflated sell your house man. Take the money and go buy some land somewhere it's It's going to be a way better way to do it than waiting till housing prices collapse and you know The inflation gets so bad that now your house is worth nothing your money is worth nothing and you're just stuck So if you think like I do that Kind of the whole system is on a on a downward spiral You know get out get out as soon as you can like make the move or start making moves to get there as soon as you can d r m r my bitcoin balance How do you know my bitcoin balance or are you saying that's what's been added? Can you can you see my bitcoin balance in my own thing? So you can you can see mine. I don't know. Can you see everyone else's? bitcoin, how do you I don't know Well, that's that's pretty awesome. If someone sent me bitcoin and how I have two of them. That's amazing Well, thank you. How do you how do you check other people's bitcoin? I don't really want to know but uh, yeah Oh The bitcoin was sent a couple weeks ago. Yeah, I haven't checked in a few weeks Probably like a month. Why I better go check it Um, are you well, thank you whoever did that Are you planning to move the saw on a carriage or have the saw saw solid and move the wood? Okay, let's go back to my saw mill drawing here So this is a very crappy sketch of my lumber mill that I'm building It's got Like this is I don't know what the track is going to look like right now I just got some pipes and the wheels there So the log will sit there in the middle and stay put and this whole thing up here will be like a big Rolling thing with the saw attached So that will roll along the log and make the cuts And then I'll flip the blade the other direction and make the cut back and uh Yeah, so the the log stays stationary and The the blade moves and there are a few reasons for that one is the log is a lot heavier It's just bigger. It's harder to move and another reason is that like Well, just you know besides it just being heavier to move if if I'm moving the heavier piece If it gets stuck in the blade for some reason It's more likely to bend something Where is if I'm moving the lighter piece if the blade gets stuck for some reason and the whole thing has to stop It's much less likely to to damage something if I'm moving the the lighter piece and the the heavier piece is staying stationary DRMR is being yelled at by Jimmy Oh I just read the balance on the Huh, well, I need to go check my my bitcoin. I guess He can get that thing he could really use right now. What is that thing I could really use right now? Wait What is that thing I could really use right now? Oh, there's a bunch of stuff I could really use right now Yes, that is true. I will be able to do a lot with with like two bitcoin. That's that's kind of a huge amount of fun, maybe Yeah, and I'm gonna have to go check it out and figure out what to do Because I do feel kind of like I should Well, one thing I've been thinking about doing lately and this kind of goes back to you know, how to prepare for the apocalypse or you know Apocalypse is always a big word, but you know, just to to prepare for the decline the agonizingly slow decline is I wanted to buy a bunch of Like marine grade aluminum aluminum sheet metal and a bunch of stainless steel You know pipes and stuff like that because that's stuff that won't Degrade in value even if you you know inflation gets really bad your dollars lose value If I have a you know a sheet of aluminum that's marine grade and it's it's gonna last it's not gonna change state over time It's it's still gonna have that same value It's value will increase in money because the money is going down in value and this is the same idea of you know buying gold Uh, the only reason I don't buy gold though is because it has no intrinsic value for me So like even something like gold. Well, I shouldn't say no intrinsic value. I could use it for something But most of gold's value is based on the ability to use it to buy something else So my thought is always like well, why don't I just Buy the things that would be useful that will that will last I don't have an expiry date. So For instance a few years ago. I bought 3,500 stainless steel bolts about that big Uh, because some guy on craigslist was just selling them super cheap getting rid of them I mean it was like thousands of dollars worth of bolts, which I bought for like I think like 250 dollars I got them for and I did that not because I needed 3,500 stainless steel bolts all at once although I have used probably like 150 of them Um, but they won't they won't decrease in value. So they're stainless the last I've just got them in in boxes and buckets over there They'll retain their value and that's something that in the future. I could potentially sell Uh, and they won't lose their own value. So instead of buying gold or silver or stuff like that Uh, I would rather buy things that are going to have value and even if I can't sell them to someone else I would use them so Oh, man, I can make I get stainless steel pipes for a huge thing. Oh my gosh. Well, I gotta think about this All right, if a pioneer like you solves all the problems You invite a society in and that is a problem. No one can solve in my opinion Maybe in that case we'd be better to fix some of the problems Um, I I think I get what you're saying Well, I think okay, so when you To get a society to keep going and thriving You have to have people who are going to stay motivated and you can't let The mouches start taking over and one of the ways you do that is you keep looking for challenges And I I was talking about this in the video I was mentioning earlier about, you know, the alpha male thing So, you know to keep a society going you need to keep having challenges keep making making it so that Competent people are valuable because once you kind of sit back and say well everything's comfortable right now Now we can chill and just hang out That's when the competent people become less useful and they kind of get seen as party poopers Come on, man. Let's just chill out and have fun. Why are you trying to know? Why are you trying to like do stuff? Let's chill man And that's when everything starts starts falling apart So I mean one of the one of the things I want to kind of make sure I do In my my village here is kind of Kind of have people come Who have this internal desire to always do something to always progress to always create in some way And because that's how you keep Creativity alive. You got to keep creating Do you notice wait? Yeah, do you notice stuff designed for planned obsolescence a lot more nowadays? How do you avoid it? Yes, like everything is is designed for planned obsolescence now. Oh, I just saw a mosquito Oh get out of here Yeah, increasingly things are more and more designed for planned obsolescence And that's not going to get better for a long time either. It just keeps getting worse So that's what I was talking about when I was saying make make stuff for yourself So Well, there there are a bunch of ways you can deal with this one is obviously make stuff for yourself So I have a whole bunch of stainless steel tools that I made myself And those things as long as I don't destroy them. They'll just keep lasting. I mean basically forever not forever, but Super long time another thing you can do is use Use things that are not designed for what you're using them for So this is a way to kind of It's kind of a way to sneak around the back door of planned obsolescence. So say Say you need some kind of rubber to Put under something heavy and the rubber is going to sit there and you know, you know insulate it from the ground Or whatever you need you need a strong piece of rubber You go to the store and say I need a piece of floor rubber that does this and goes like this And you can buy the thing that's designed for that. It's also designed to fail As that thing or you can say, okay, what's a what's a piece of rubber? That's designed for something much harsher than what I need And you can go to go get a car tire and you can also get it for free because you know It's not that hard to get a car tire for free And then you use a piece of car tire rubber Which is designed to work on a car and it's designed to wear out But it's not designed to wear out being you know sitting under some some heavy piece of machinery being an insulator or something So you you kind of look at look at stuff in the store that you can buy and say What's there that's designed for a purpose that's much more rugged than what i'm going to do And then you you buy that instead of the thing that's designed for what you're going to do Jamie how will the dynamic change if your kids don't agree with you philosophically work? I think that's or don't agree with your philosophical outlook. Um I don't know if my kids don't agree with my philosophical outlook I think I think there's a very good chance that my kids Will agree with my philosophical outlook because this is this is one of the things that you do as a parent You know you you teach your kids presuming you're actually doing the job you teach your kids How to how to deal with the world and how to think and you give them You give them ideologies that work And one of the one of the problems you can run into is you can tell your kids to believe in things I think that's that's a very sketchy thing to do when you have kids So if you're telling your kids to believe in something They could decide they don't believe in it and then then you run into this different ideology problems But if you really try hard to stick to things That are like basically impossible to argue against Then you have a really good chance of your kids going along with it. So I think there is a very good chance that that my kids in general will You know kind of stick to adventure builder principles and adventure builder virtues because i'm always kind of explaining them In relation to in relation to their lives and explaining how you know you want to do this You know you use these adventure builder principles And you do this and you can you have success at doing all these different things you want to do But of course there is a chance that One or more of my kids is just going to say no, I don't agree with everything you say i'm i'm going to go Do what these people said on youtube or something In which case, I don't know. I don't know how to deal with it. I will use my My own best judgment based on my own principles and I'll deal with it however Best I can but in the end, you know, you can only You can only teach your kids so much at some point they have to start living their lives And they have to decide how they're going to do it. So Yeah Oh 33 000 is the biggest gift i've ever seen a lifetime of donations and one gift cash it out jamby before it crashes Okay, here's a question I I don't really know that much about the bitcoin deal and what's going on right now. Is it crashing or is it going to go back up? So maybe to deal with that I spend a chunk of it just in case one thing happens But save some in case the other thing happens, you know So that that's probably what I will do there I although I still have to see it to believe it Yeah, but we can all see your address You have in your description. Oh, so so like if you okay, I get what you're saying Like if if I have an address that people can send bitcoin to you can see what's in there Until I take it out and like stick it in my wallet or whatever. Well, I guess I better go do that as soon as this is done Check bitcoin. Yeah, I've got it there. Okay Well, that's it. That's amazing if that's there. I'm gonna have to do something pretty cool Okay, let's see You need competency Yes, you do you need resources failure is part of learning. Don't fail when things are mission critical. Yes, exactly Don't wait until competition for resources is intense. Yeah, so this is lauren going back to you know If you're if you're reliant on the system right now And if you think the system is going fine, you think everything's going fine Then this won't mean anything But if you're if you're on the same page as me and a lot of other people And you you kind of see this decline happening that's been happening over a long period of time You think it's going to keep going down Yeah, the sooner you can get out and you know do something about it the better Don't wait. Yeah. Just like you said, don't wait until something is mission critical Like try to try to solve a problem before you hit to the hit the point where It's desperate. You know, it's kind of like driving a car into a brick wall You don't hit the brakes when you hit the wall this is too like this is it You already hit the wall you you're screwed you hit the brakes when you see the wall coming You're driving out of brick wall 60 miles an hour. You see the brick wall You see there's nowhere to go. It's like, okay. I got to hit the brakes I got to do something about this or maybe there is a turnoff It's like you got you got to do something before you actually hit the brick wall And if you wait till till you're three feet in front of the brick wall, it's also too late You know the sooner you can do something about an impending problem the better this this also actually relates to something in the adventure builder philosophy That I think about a lot which is honor, you know when there's a lie out there And often often lies come up not because you said a lie there could just be a lie That was presumed that you didn't correct or some there's a there's a lot of Ways that lies can just be out there in the world The sooner you correct a lie the sooner you tell some of the truth or whatever This the smaller negative consequences happen and the the longer you leave it and people have this experience all the time You know when you when you've told a lie and it started out as just this little tiny thing and you thought Ah, it's not going to be a big thing I'll just tell this little white lie because it's it's easier and then like three weeks later It's like compounded upon itself and it's become this huge thing and you're just like Wow, what do I do about this now? I can't tell the truth now because it's such a huge thing I wish I just told the truth back three weeks ago And it's like ah, I can't tell the truth now and then another week goes by and it's like, oh my gosh It's even worse now. I wish I told the truth a week ago and at some point you just have to be like Okay, I just gotta tell the truth because it's just gonna keep getting worse and worse, you know A lot of problems are like that. You gotta do something about them before you crash Um, I think he meant transporting the mill To the log Oh, okay. This is about the lumber mill. Am I going to keep the lumber mill in one place? Uh and bring logs to it or am I going to take the lumber mill like out into the jungle? No, I'm going to keep the lumber mill in one place and I'm going to bring logs here um for a few reasons One is that the power source for the lumber mill is going to be solar panels So, yeah, sorry for the the misunderstanding earlier. Now. I totally understand the question But if I I'm not going to drag like a huge amount of solar panels out into the jungle And then, you know set them up on a big thing above the Above the canopy of the trees and I also don't want to run a gasoline motor like if I'm going to do A lumber mill in a more portable way the kind of the the obvious way to do that would be use gasoline as the power I want to run it off solar power. So I'm going to have the lumber mill here and You know, I'll I'll take a gas power chainsaw probably and cut cut logs to whatever size I can move And then I got to get them to the water and once I get them to the water It's pretty easy to get them to here. I can either put them on a Boat or if I can't get them on the boat or if I think they're too big or whatever I can just drag them through the water because it's not that far from where I can find logs to to here like I can drag them through the water pretty easily And then once they get here, I'm going to have to have some kind of system To get them to where I have the lumber mill And I'm not sure where I'm going to put the lumber mill yet one I mean kind of One obvious place would be like near the water So I can get the logs up right into the lumber mill from the water like very easily But I kind of like to get the lumber mill up on the top of the hill where it's further from the water partly because You know, I don't want to get salt water on the parts but another thing is The lumber mill is going to build the lumber mill is going to make a lot of sawdust And I can use that sawdust to build up some soil and I want to do that kind of where the I don't know. Maybe I could set up the lumber mill down by the water for a while And let a lot of sawdust accumulate there because I want to build up the soil there because it's not very good soil and And the water gets kind of close to the the ground level. So I want to build it up but uh I don't know either way. I'm gonna have the I'm gonna have the lumber mill here on this island So I'm gonna move. I'm not sure exactly where I'll put it yet But kind of in my brain I've been thinking I want to put it at the top of the hill and just figure out some way to get logs up to the top of the hill I'm not entirely sure about that yet though Start a small garden in your backyard then scale up. Yeah, man Just start started garden start growing some peppers and tomatoes whatever you know it When I used to visit florida a lot because I had family there I'd visit them I'd see people cutting down orange trees and One time I was I was out and I asked the guy. Oh, man. Why are you cutting down your orange? He's got oranges on it like like what are you doing? Man, he's like, oh, I don't want to have I don't want to have to deal with fruits on this tree I'd rather just go buy them at the store. I'm like, what are you talking about? You have them growing right here. He's like, yeah, but if I don't pay attention to it You know, you know some some oranges fall on the ground and attract rats and bugs It's just it's just easier to to not deal with that just go buy it at the store And I think that thinking is gonna change fairly soon how how how long exactly I don't know but Yeah The way you made two L brackets from that one T bar blew my mind Well, thanks, Sadie. I actually wasn't sure if that was gonna work out at the beginning But then I realized yeah, it'll totally work out. I just had to you know, figure it out And it came out really good when I got it all bolted together I mean, it took me like I don't know an hour or an hour and a half to drill all the holes because it was pretty thick metal But yeah, once I bolted it all together Yeah, man, it runs it runs so smooth and it's that that metal's so big and Strong it keeps everything so rigid and the whole thing is so heavy I think it's gonna be really good because you know when you have when you have like a tool That's really heavy and it's cutting something It's it's not gonna move when it when you know, it hits a little It's a little more resistance in the wood or something Because if you have like a really light saw and you're going through and it hits a knot or something The sock and like kind of like hit that and like jolt, but when you have a really heavy thing It's much less likely to do that. It's more likely to just power right through Yeah, and even the even the you know the shaft that spins and the motor that's that's even got a lot of momentum So when it hits something hard, it's just it should be able to Have enough momentum to plow through a lot of stuff Happy new year everyone. Mr. Landfill. Why does Mr. Landfill have that name? Well it's spelled l-a-n-d-p-h-i-l-l so land fill I don't know. Do you run a A dump or something? I don't know. I used to love going to the dump when they used to let you in Start seeing trash as raw material. That's gonna happen more and more often then make something cool from the trash Lather rinse repeat eventually you'll be an adventure builder Yeah, anytime you can take something from the garbage system and turn it into the useful system. That's a beautiful thing and you know, this kind of goes back to You know when you when you build up a society to where there's so much abundance that people are throwing stuff away You know, that's when you start getting the decline because people start taking resources and just trashing them Yeah, then you then you get the other part of the cycle the downhill part Exactly classic dude, Mike Junkyard josh, I have so many junkyard people here. It's great. Uh, I love junkyards Are you on the Caribbean or Pacific side? I'm on the Caribbean side The Pacific side of the ocean here has like I think it's like 17 foot ties So like five or six meters that the water goes up and down here It only goes up and down like like two feet like less than a meter maybe two and a half feet I know it's like less than a meter Which is kind of nice because just imagine The water going up and down like like two stories like you park your boat On on the shore and then like four hours later the ocean is like Like half a mile away or you park your boat like at the shore and then you know Where you parked it is now half a mile from where the the shore is, you know, it's crazy when you have ties that big Having an eye for good trash is a good superpower to develop that is an excellent superpower whenever i'm walking around In town i'm always keeping an eye on the ground and I mean almost every time I go to town I find some Some useful thing like a lot of times i'll find Like a stainless washer or a stainless bolt and you know Like who cares about one stainless washer or one stainless bolt, right? But no i'll pick them up put them on my pocket and then I have this jar Or there's like a little not a jar but like a little metal container that I throw them into when I get home You know years of doing this. I have like this jar of like useful bits and pieces of stuff like springs and nuts and bolts and screws and nails and just all this little stuff that I just found on the side of the street And threw in there magnets just just all kinds of little bits And I often also find things for my kids. So when I was just in town a few days ago I found a hair clip and it looked like a perfectly good hair clip like someone probably just dropped it And it was just sitting on the sidewalk Uh just sitting there in the sun. So I figured it was probably sterilized by the sun for a while if anyone had germs on it But it looked like it was brand new. So I put that in my pocket brought it back for my kids And then there was this little green ball I guess some kid was probably playing for it lost track of it It ended up rolling away looked also like it was brand new. So I brought that home to my kids And uh, it's kind of it's kind of funny like whenever I come home from from town Often I've got some some little little Little presents for my kids and they're always like, whoa, cool. You know, where'd you find this? Yeah East I see a giant robot in your future. Oh my gosh, you're right If I just got a bunch of money, I could totally use it for giant robot parts. I wasn't even thinking about that yet Oh my gosh I got As soon as I get off this this thing my brain's gonna explode with with like what what I can do Thumbs up everyone. You know how the internet works I'm not sure what that means, but yes, I know how well I know roughly how the internet works So same here bought 5,000 pounds worth of a4 stainless bolts and nuts From 500 for 500. Yeah, isn't it great whenever whenever you can find Release for me and apparently for cheap vlog too. Yeah anytime you find Materials that are long lasting things like something stainless or like marine great aluminum or Something made out of a material that's not going to degrade over time And someone's trying to get rid of it. I'm just like I will take it what you have 650 stainless steel pipes And you're just basically trying to get rid of them. I'm not prepared to take them right now But I will take them, you know, let me let me go get my boat I'll do whatever I need to do to I'll take it if it's like some special deal and then I'll figure out some way Some something to do with them or worst-case scenario. Yeah, you know You have a valuable thing as long as you can store them in a reasonable way Then you could you could sell them if you need or or maybe your your friends Need a thing and you you just have it, you know, it's it's it's always a good idea to jump on that stuff I don't think bitcoin. This is will darling. I don't think bitcoin will crash much more But good idea take half out now and keep half in Yeah, uh, ray bacon says I believe bitcoin will eventually go back up But there is some major crypto upset currently that is making things really bad right now. Okay, so there is something Just kind of going on with that crypto already down 75 already crashed now the time to buy So maybe the general consensus is bitcoin is going to go back up So, yeah, I should maybe use some of it but kind of hope for You know a recovery Oh Jorge agus Agis, I'm not sure which which country you're from so I could be totally saying your name on if you built yourself in a chrono plane Would it be electric or with like a motorcycle engine? I I'm thinking electric And a chrono plane that's the that's a ground effect vehicle right the ground effect plane that that flies low to the ground where you have the special effect where Where low to the ground you kind of bunch up the air Against the ground and it kind of makes more fluffy and you can fly more efficiently. You don't need You know, he just gives you more lift I really doubt j will do a combustion engine. You are correct. Yeah Um, wow nice. Somebody did send you to bitcoin. It's boy. He can just look this up I didn't go learn how to do this stuff more. Um, maybe primitive tech style using alcohol He made himself now. I think I think if I'm if I'm making a ground effect vehicle I want to do it electric I do want to build a steam engine at some point partly because it's fun and partly because You know, you can run on anything like basically burn anything You're so that would totally work in an apocalypse, right? But I think it would be I think it would be so fun To have like a big boat with a steam engine on a nice big steam engine or whatever I mean, it's gotta be some kind of big, you know, for the boiler and all the boiling water everything and just be there like Like shoveling wood in there and like And it's like I think that would be so fun and like to get the kids involved. Hey kids stock the stock the fire. Let's go Ah, that'd be I think that would be so fun to have it have a steam engine boat going I I definitely need to do that at some point. I'll probably do that before I build an airplane actually But I don't know we'll see I currently have boats that function. So There are other things that I need to do that are higher priority Jamie, have you looked into biochar? Have you looked at building terra preta on your island? Okay I've looked into that stuff a little bit, but I definitely need to learn more and biochar is like basically Tell me if I'm getting this wrong, but like charcoal that's like kind of soaked in uh Like poop tea basically to absorb nutrients And then you you put that in your in your garden and it slowly releases the nutrients Is that is that what I'm talking about and terra preta Like basically making good soil Yeah, I need to I need to get on that more I You know, that's one of the that's one of the things That I want to do more this year, you know kicking more butt Getting my getting the soil on my island better so that I can plant pretty much anything and it just grows like crazy um I've grown watermelons Not on my island and they grew huge and it was amazing. Oh my god. I loved I loved growing huge watermelons It was so nice and I've tried to grow them here. I haven't been successful yet And I I'm pretty sure it's just because the ground is so clay um And even you know mixing in some compost and stuff It's still like I still I have some work to do getting this the soil good here But I want to be able to grow lots of stuff So yeah, I definitely need to learn more about the soil and what to do and everything Jamie I recently saw another youtuber made a video recently Visit your old dome house in vermont. You looked abandoned. Would you Would love to hear your thoughts Yeah, my thoughts are that Almost a decade ago. I sold my house in vermont to someone else And I didn't look back and that was a conscious decision I decided that once I sell it someone else's I don't really want to know what's going on there after that And I'm pretty sure it's not abandoned at this point Actually, when I when I lived in my house in vermont People would would hike up to my house while I was there And say hey, have you seen this cool abandoned house? And I'd be like, yeah, that's my house You know, oh, what are you moving in? I'm like, no, this is my house. I built it. This is my house Like what are you talking about? No, this is the this is abandoned house in the woods. I'm like, no, it's not This is my house That happened a bunch of times actually And then, you know people kind of pass the word around that. Oh, no, some guy actually lives there even though You know, it looks like some crazy person's house in the wood. There's a crazy person to go with it It would be fun to watch you build a retort. You mean a resort? I could I create retorts often in these in these these talking videos I'm thinking you must mean build a resort Though you don't really need to get that fancy to make charcoal a retort building a retort Wait, is a retort something to do with charcoal? No Maybe maybe a retort is not just a retort like making an argument Maybe maybe a retort is the thing to make charcoal I can I can make charcoal. I have plenty of charcoal because I cook with fire wood wood fires. So every time I dump out the The stove thing, you know a bunch of ashes and charcoal come out. So I I can like I'm making charcoal already I've been thinking about quilting. Oh quitting Not quilting my job. I've been thinking about quitting my job and doing all my dreams all at once I'm going to take a one and a half years I'm going to take a one and a half years to be a bead keeper a bead keeper build a dome home Make a documentary about something I'm passionate about that sounds amazing gear mo gonzales. Yeah That sounds like an awesome adventure If you've if you saved up enough money or resource or whatever you need to be able to do that Yeah, totally do it Man and at the end of that you'll have you're you'll have a home Do it in a place where you're you're not gonna have to Do it a place where you can buy the land outright and you won't have expenses and then you can you know You can kind of live free. So it's so much more freeing to live in a place Where you're not constantly paying for it Today, it's just a real monkey off your back once you do that I collected software Way back in the 1980s so much so that my friends said that if you ever toss it out it would choke a landfill And my name is phil so land phil stuck Now I have like old dirt Oh, no now i'm old like dirt. So mr. Land mr. Land phil well that totally explains it Collected software back in the 90s. Yeah, man back in the early 80s. Yeah back in the 80s software was was big It took a lot of those discs Mr. Land phil uh, is the roof finished? No, I've not finished the roof um Yeah, you know I'll I'll I'll I'll work on it whenever I get the the right kind of weather, but Yeah, I'm working on a whole bunch of other things Lately I've been mostly working on the lumber mill partly because I'm really excited about it and partly because it's going so well And you know at some point I'm going to run into a point where I need some parts And then I'll put that on hold while I order parts. I'm not sure though. Maybe I won't need to order parts. We'll see But uh, yeah, I have I have several kind of big projects going right now and The way I look at it is like as long as I'm accomplishing Progress in any one of them. It's it's good progress. So I just pick whichever one is I'm inspired to work on right now and lately it's been the lumber mill and I want to get the I want to get the shark slicer my cargo boat going again too. I want to get the pedals in there You know change a bunch of stuff out about it. So that's pretty high on the priority list Stainless steel bolts and nuts and aluminum material are endlessly reusable. Yeah, you can do so much with that stuff White merchant flower says buy now but by what now We're just buy stuff in general now that will last because the prices are growing up There's a youtube channel called amazing do-yourself projects. He makes flying machines probably a good source of inspiration for electric flying vehicles Let's see amazing do-yourself projects amazing diy projects on youtube And let's draw a little picture of an airplane Because that guy builds airplanes All right, I'm gonna have some time. I'll check that out You are such a cool character Much love from Finland. Well, thanks Jeff the Wait, Jeff thermite. I love thermite. It's delicious. Actually. I have some some thermite Supplies, I guess you call them. Well, it's just like a bunch of iron filings I'm I'm waiting for them to rust and then and I mean I always have aluminum aluminum filings But it'll be fun to play with some thermite I'm wondering if you could make a steam engine out of a two-stroke motorcycle engine probably I don't know. I don't know how I'm going to make a steam engine when I get to that point but my thought You know with basically no planning just Off the top of my head right now is that I would want to make the steam engine basically from scratch Although I don't know Yeah, that's just just my first thought at the moment. So we'll see Your bike generator in vermont still works. I love that thing I wish that was here because like on a on a really cloudy day It'll be uh, it was so it was so nice like when I was in Vermont and you know, we had cloudy days for like a week And you know, it was it was like, hey, let me go get some exercise charge of batteries at the same time I want to make one of those here Partly because then I can also get the kids involved man When I have like these sort of athletic events with the kids, I made a video about one a little while ago About running laps around the house Yeah, they get so excited and into it And it's it's hilarious seeing my two-year-old daughter like Get into the these the athletic events these impromptu athletic events. I do she gets so excited like when She's running the laps around the house, you know, we're all cheering for and she's just got this smile like And she's like so excited. She's gonna explode and just running along. Oh, so yeah, if I had if I had a Electricity-making bike I could get the kids all involved in that And maybe have a meter on it say, all right, you got to get to this many watt hours and you know They can watch the number Yeah, I want to make one of those Have to cut it short. Thanks for always having awesome content. See you next week I do my best to always give awesome content, but I know I I don't always but thank you for saying that anyway Mr. Landfill have an excellent afternoon or depending on where you are day, whatever A new year resolution buy a piece of land and build owned Off-grid dome that sounds amazing and Jorge if you do do you want to first do you want to do that in in central America by any chance? If not, I mean if you do talk to me maybe maybe we can talk about it a little bit and I can You know discuss whatever whatever But if not, I would love to see pictures or video or anything of that So if you if you were, you know, if you felt like sharing I would love to see it You know my email is down there and if you have a youtube channel or instagram or you know, whatever people have today or Even a facebook thing with some pictures. I would love to see Same with like anyone's cool projects like if anyone's doing some amazing projects Feel free to email me Like you know a picture of what you're doing. I love I love seeing that stuff You know, I know it's mostly a one-way street here where I'm always showing what I'm doing I really like seeing what other people are going to though a few people do that actually There are a few people who every once in a while like every few months. I'll get some some message saying Hey, check out this thing I'm working on and it's really cool Amazing do-it-yourself is amazing. Yes flying builds, but also loved his car with giant inflatable wheels Horror hey, nice idea. I bought land in Paraguay Just saving money now for materials going to use air creed. Oh, that sounds okay. Guillermo You gotta you gotta show us what you're doing. That's that's so cool. I love seeing that kind of stuff uh, jamie Cerebra CS2 chip Has 400,000 cores this chip is the largest in the world It's the size of a wafer I thought you would find this interesting. I presume this is a computer chip. It's got to be a computer chip, right? Well, that's cool. I'd love to buy my own plot of land Down there and build a passive solar Earth bermed house dome. That sounds awesome. You should do it, man Lauren, are you talking about down there like down here or down somewhere else because if it's down here Let me let me know we can talk about it. You know, thank you If you're if you know you're serious about it Jorge August, South Africa. I guess that's where you're from uh, totally into styrocrete Sourcing from recycling center already going down grown down Yeah, the styrocrete. I'm really happy with this styrocrete. That's all this That's all styrocrete right there Like it's it's pretty strong. It's obviously not going to have the compressive strength of this part, which is regular concrete This part's regular concrete So this is obviously stronger stronger than styrocrete But the styrocrete is really strong still and it's a little bit flexible Like obviously the concrete is still a tiny bit flexible with it Yeah, I'm just I'm really happy with the styrocrete in general And obviously also because it uses a huge amount of garbage because the styrofoam You know gets used once in packaging materials and then just like ends up in the ocean or whatever it's yeah It's really good to use it for something computer chip indeed Lauren Brooker says Panama sounds good. Dude, send me an email. Let's talk about it because uh, you know, I've I've kind of What's the word been working on my own stuff for a while not not really focus on Building the village as much so it's I've been building the village. It's just going slowly, but that's one of the things I want to Start working more directly on building the village, you know So yes, send me an email if you're if you're thinking about moving here You know building a house doing all the stuff getting some land And you know, I'm also not opposed to Renting out a piece of land of mine long-term Originally, I was I wasn't sure if I wanted to do that. But right now Uh, there's someone here who was like, can I just rent like a piece of land from you like long term? I was like All right. Anyway, yeah, it's totally fine. Like I would totally do that Um I'd love a potato chip with 400,000 cores Potato chips, you know what I have right now. I don't have any potatoes, but I have this It's similar potatoes. It's called Yum pee, but I think it's actually Neon pee it's got it's got an ennye at the beginning So an ennye is like an end with a little squiggle over it and it's a nye So it's nyom pee although a lot of people just write it with a y instead and just call it yom pee It's this it's like a potato-y kind of thing that grows in the ground Looks a little bit more like a yuka like big and has a thick skin on it But there they make the best fries and the best Potato chips. Oh man. They're so good. You know, sometimes you get certain kind of potatoes that make really good fries and really good potato chips Yeah, man. These these yom pee man. They make the best fries and potato chips The only the only downside to them is when you when you get the peel off and you get into them They're so slimy. They're so slimy. It's like it's like almost hard to keep a grip on them And then after you're done cutting it you got like all this This snot all over your hands. Although it comes off pretty easily. It's water soluble for the most part Oh, this Vasco Zuzu's. Hello Nio-ki. I have no idea what Nio-ki means, but uh It looks like I'm at the bottom of the comments here. Oh, no, another one just came up question. Oh, here's a question. All right Question. All right. Let's get ready for questions Okay, where will the village be on the farm property? Okay the village Is just just in in the area so my original idea for the village is just People would come and buy their own land from, you know, local people around because there's a lot of land around here That's not necessarily for sale like not listed in real estate or anything But people will sell land around here. It's not that hard to get some So my original idea for a village was that people would would buy Common, you know, maybe stay with me for a little bit but buy their own land Although now that I've got someone renting a piece of land for me I don't want to say how much it is because it's it's a very low amount of money And I don't want everyone to be like, yeah, man. Can I come rent like an acre from you for like nothing? But yeah She also has kids though that was a huge incentive kids who can hang out with my kids anyway, uh, I would be Totally fine with With uh, you know renting land long term for a village I don't want to do a thing Where I have a village where people just come and they're like just living on my land for free because that kind of It causes some problems One problem is that then I'm kind of like your king or something like your lord Like I'm just like not even like your king or your lord. It's like it's like you're my baby You know, I don't I don't want anyone to be like my baby and I don't think anyone wants to be like my my child so I would have to charge some kind of rent, but I don't need it to be much just something reasonable and acceptable to everyone um And that could even be negotiated in terms of like if someone is growing a garden Like I will totally buy food with you with your from you with your own rent money and then you could just You know rent An acre or whatever from me for food basically or whatever, you know um So I guess I guess my idea is for how the village Works exactly is is pretty open um And I Yeah, originally I was thinking everyone would buy their own land, but if people want to rent Spots on my land. I do have one chunk of pretty big land You know, maybe people want to get together and buy you know Rent some little spots near each other and have like a little a little village right in one spot Yeah, I mean I'm open to a lot of different things. So there's no specific set way of doing it Hello Zach cooked Classic dude Mike sounds more like an adventure club region rather than a village I don't I don't know what to call it. I call it a community people think it's a commune I call it a village. I think is the village fine. I don't know It's just I I just want to have cool neighbors. I want to live I want to I just want to have cool people around, you know Like I want to be be working on something and say I'm not sure how to do this But my neighbor right over there Has done something like before maybe I can go talk to them and see if I can get some advice Or maybe people could come over and be like, hey Jamie, you know, uh I'm building this thing and I heard that you have like like thousands of stainless steel bolts Can I just buy them from you instead of the place and I'm like, yeah, man, you know So they don't have to go and go and get them. They can just get them right here And you know people just collaborate and work work together on things, you know And then even things like like growing food, for example, you know, sometimes you get like four Giant bunches of bananas that are already at the same time. It's like I used to have this problem when I with one giant bunch of bananas But now I have four kids and they they go through it like nothing And they'll eat like 20 bananas at once ridiculous But you know with food sometimes you harvest too much to get all at once And then you just share with your friends and they can share with you and you become friends and collaborate and work together in all these cool ways And it that's the stuff that makes life really good, you know So whatever I have to do to to get that to happen. Yeah, I'm I'm all for it Oh But who doesn't want to have a king or be king? I do not want to be a king And I do not want to have a king see this goes all this goes back to that whole Dominance hierarchy of slaves and And masters. I don't I don't I don't think that kind of Hierarchy is is valuable. I think that's what that's what brings down civilizations What creates civilizations is is individuals trying to improve their selves and doing And putting the most value out into the world that they can like increasing their own value and increasing the value around and Whenever you have a leader in that situation, they're a leader Because the people want them to be a leader As soon as leaders become a leader because of some authority because of some certificate or title Then that leader is not held to a standard of of excellence And they're the leader no matter what and you just have to do what they say But when you're in when you're in a situation where competence Is what is valued Then the person leading is the person who's doing the best job of it and if they start doing a bad job of it People say whoa, whoa things are going are not going in the right direction now Can you either do better or maybe we can get someone to help you or maybe we just need someone else To take the leadership spot and then the person in that leadership role Since they know they're not there because of some kind of authority they say Oh, okay. My my position here is not it's not like a position that I get to keep or anything It's just as long as I can do the job and now it seems like I can't do the job Yeah, we got to get someone else either help me or take over and then leadership doesn't become this coveted position of power It becomes this huge responsibility and people don't necessarily want it But they'll do it because they can add more value to the community by doing it. So Yeah, this whole idea of a king and rulers is just stupid to me And it doesn't go anywhere. It's not a long-term thing galt galtz man cells manner. Yeah I can't wait to visit. We'll come over In credible adventures working on things food and fish collaboration island Yeah, man So hey, it'll be you know, it's gonna be really interesting to see where this goes You know now that I'm gonna start putting more more direct effort into it And one of the reasons I can put more direct effort into, you know like building the the village more is because I've got a lot of my own things Straightened out, you know, I've got a house. I've got boats. I've got a lot of I still have a lot of things I'm working on but I've got I've gotten my head above water kind of you know, like I don't feel like I'm drowning I'm up. I'm up on my feet and I'm running. I don't feel like I'm being dragged along anymore I love how you're just planting all kinds of food all over the island And it just grows into more and more perennial source of fresh fruit produce. Yeah, exactly and Yeah, and and I do plant things all over because I don't know what's going to grow well where and like papaya trees I've planted those fricking everywhere All over the island and there's like one spot kind of in front of my house to the left a little bit Where there are four different papaya trees growing all kind of in the same area and I'm like fine. That's the papaya zone You you do it there But yeah, I've got all kinds of fruit trees planted and all kinds of different stuff planted in different places And most of it doesn't doesn't take partly because the soil is not that great But you know again that I'm also working on figuring out how to get the soil better But yeah, as soon as I that is soon like at some point I'll have so much food just growing I'll have enough like calories to survive at that point and that'll be a really cool thing And that doesn't mean I'll only eat that food But yeah getting getting to the point where you're growing enough calories to survive That's that's going to be a really cool point to get to Happy new year from my communist country of trinidad. Dude, there are I mean Most of the world is communist now. I mean they don't they don't all call themselves communist, but yeah Can you get beef out there? Well, I can if I go to the store. I got some some the other day There are also people around here who have cows. Oh So on on my on my biggest piece of property It's on a big island. So it's not an island on its own right now. I'm on an island Just of my own. I'm the only one here, but on my bigger property. It's on a really big island And the property behind it It has a whole bunch of cows and then the one behind that to the side also has a bunch of cows and I don't I haven't gotten any beef from them, but I presume they probably butcher them once in a while I've gotten pigs You know parts of pigs now. Okay parts of pigs from a guy who lives over there But I could actually have cows on my own too People with an IQ lower than 85 take too much guidance They're roughly 16 percent of the population 16 percent of the population is below 85 IQ ouch They need leadership. They need hierarchy. Okay They well, they need leadership, but they don't need a leader who has a Who's leading because they have a title You know, um, I mean this Why do people bring up these huge topics like like two hours in? Because I'm basically going to stop talking in a minute, but that's that's a huge discussion right there Like everything you just talked about is like there are people who are basically unable to take care of themselves and It's just it's just a lot to unpack there's a lot to lot to figure out how to deal with that and what to do Ian says you don't want to be a landlord. I don't want to be a landlord If if I'm doing a thing where I'm renting land to people I I guess I am the landlord at that point, but I basically I'm I'll only do it if you're basically in charge of your piece of land and once you're not Satisfied you just go somewhere else or whatever, you know, and it's still my land and whatever I would not want to be a landlord as in the kind of person who's Got a building with certain Maintenance that it needs all the time And like, you know resources. No, I would I would only do it if I'm like renting you land. Maybe I would build like a Like a like a dome or something like something very simple But after that you take care of yourself like you want internet you I mean I can help you figure out how to set it up And everything but but you're responsible for it, you know, you're responsible for your Your your water collection system your your solar power like you take care of all that stuff So I would not want to be a landlord who like sets Sets up all the electricity and the water and the internet and whatever else people, you know need And then I'm responsible for constantly fixing it. So I definitely wouldn't want to do it that way Start start start composting all that free cow poop. Well, the cow poop isn't on my property It's the other people's property But yeah, maybe I should maybe I should get a cow. I've been thinking About getting goats. My neighbor who's here who's become part of the village and it looks like he's staying I think he likes it. He's been talking about getting goats and Yeah, goats are kind of like mini cows that smell worse Which is funny because cows don't smell that great but goats smell terrible Although goat milk So goat milk has a really strong flavor, right? That's why a lot of people don't like goat milk However, I've had fresh goat milk Like sucked right out of the goat like within hours And it tastes like fresh milk Although I still I still do think it's weird That adult humans Drink baby cow milk and baby goat milk. I mean I do it But I think it's weird that we do it But at the same time it's considered weird To drink human breast milk like if I were to if I were to drink some human breast milk people would say Strange and I would even feel like this is kind of weird. Am I am I okay to do this? I would totally do it though, right? I mean, I think I would do that if I had like I don't know that's kind of weird like to have a cup of human breast milk Just sounds like it's stupid. It shouldn't it shouldn't be weird It should be no more weird than having a cup of of like cow milk Why why are we so weird about that? You know what if I This is never gonna come up anyway, so I'm not really gonna have to do it But if I come across human breast milk From someone I know I don't know. All right, I'm gonna get off this topic because it's getting weird But we should totally be able to drink human breast milk At least as easily as we drink cow milk, right? Uh goat milk ice cream is the best ice cream I've ever had really That's interesting Are you plant-based? I am not plant-based. I eat everything. I think that will be amazing for the issue For climate change. I don't think being plant-based like becoming vegetarians fixes the climate issue at all actually I think factory farming is more a problem than people eating meat and factory farming of meat or plants because you know If you wipe out a huge area of land to grow soy Or corn or whatever single crop you're growing destroy the land over a few years Like that's this big a problem as you know having some chickens locked in cages I mean the whole thing is just it the factory farming industry in general is just terrible And that's that's another huge reason that's a good idea to grow your own food as much as possible Hey, what are we going? Goats are the way to go. Yeah goats are like mini Mini cows that will eat anything. I am building a house Float of all recycled materials that float down the lake. I live above all that is so cool building a floating house I thought about building a floating house here. I actually even have drawn up plans to do it and stuff That is really cool. Again. I would love to see a picture of that Or video or whatever so feel free to share You know, maybe I should have Like a facebook page or something where people can share this stuff more because I I love seeing that stuff We drink milk as an adaptation to surviving in cold climates living in close quarters with animals. Yeah, totally um, yeah at some point like Like people didn't used to drink animal milk, but You know when you're stuck in a cave and it's snowing outside and you're going to freeze to death And you got a cow and it's like making milk. It's like Oh, I guess I might as well give it a try And then the people who could who could still digest the milk. They had a huge survival advantage. So yeah, that's why we can drink milk as adults If I if if I only had If I only had access to human breast milk, though, I would totally drink it to survive Randall crates, I'll send you some pics. Great. Yeah, I totally want to see Uh, Zach says your idea seems so cool Because we are on the brink of a mass extinction of ecosystems and I am so on board with your idea. Which idea? Uh, but yeah, cows belch a lot of methane. It takes 20 times more land And food to raise cows. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if it's 20 times um I've heard a lot of Once people start giving me facts and figures I'm always a little wary because I'm like, where do these facts and figures come from because I've spoken with a lot of vegans I I used to have a best friend. I mean, I'm still friends with them. I haven't seen them in a while But I had a best friend who was a vegan and he would put up all these posters of all these Facts about veganism and meat and they were mostly not anywhere near correct. Um, so I don't know Uh, the land used for cattle is not suitable to grow crops on well, that's that's a good point. Yeah There's always information like this and then cattle will poop on the land and and fertilize it So that yeah, the thing is like There's no there's no way to just like like snap your fingers and say well, I'm a vegetarian I solve I solve the world's problems. I fixed it or I'm a vegan. I fixed the problem or you know There's no simple thing where it's like you can just pick this arbitrary thing and say I'm not going to do this one thing. I'm not going to buy a bottle of water from now on therefore I've solved the the What's it the the plastic in the ocean problem? No, it's like you you got to think about the whole the whole problem and figure out how it all fits together so for example You know cows poop and they make fertilizer So if you get rid of rid of all the cows, you're also getting rid of a bunch of fertilizer that can grow plants And you know when you when you start looking at the whole system and just figure out how you can get everything to work together better That's how you solve the problems and The problem right now is that factory farming does not do any of that It's just like we're just gonna we're just gonna wipe out a huge amount of land and put one thing on it That's gonna destroy the land. It's just It's just not sensible and not not sustainable I've heard stories of women who make a living selling human breast milk on itsy. Oh, yeah There's there's like human breast milk cheese and stuff you can get to Uh, Tomaters was away for a few minutes, but he's back. Hello Tomaters. I almost put a poop. Oh put a pop on Sorry, I almost put a pop-up camper On an old pontoon boat and turns out it's not a good idea Yeah Oh, that's funny, you know when I when I when I'm reading these Comments as I go on and on my brain's thinking about all these different things that people have talked about And it gets harder to read because my brain is thinking about other things So excuse my slurring words, but I think this might be the the end because we're at Two hours and nine minutes already. Does Panama have any kind of laws about living in a floating house? Just off the coast or is it like free landless living space? Well, I think I don't I don't know specifically the answer to that question But if I was going to live in a floating house I would just call it a boat and just like live in a boat or even better yet I would just live in a boat because then it can actually move if I needed to move for some reason Um, but yeah, it's it's basically a boat, right? And I don't know what all the rules are exactly Human breast milk. I'd love to try that again straight from the source. Yeah Thanks for hosting us. Jamie. Lauren says, okay I think we're we've probably gotten sick of Jamie. Yabba blabbering on a lot enough right now I'm gonna go check my bitcoin right now because I hear there might be something I should pay attention to and make some interesting plans and uh, yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna consider kicking butt my my new year's resolution this year I'm gonna start socializing more try to try to get this village going more. I'm trying to try to find a girlfriend and basically get a lot of Get my people life in order, you know, get my people life in order I've gotten so much of my building life in order and I'm gonna keep building everything I'm gonna keep doing that like crazy, but I want to I want to get more more more people stuff going Okay, I hope everyone's having an excellent day and oh giant robot. Yes Uh, no, yeah, probably no easy silver bullet To solve huge problems. Yeah, you're right. Okay. Everyone have an excellent day And I apologize if I was extra pixely this week. I don't know what's going on or if it was or not, but uh I'm going and everybody have an excellent day and let's let's make this year amazing Yeah, let's just make this year amazing Let's see how much you how much how much value you can we can put into the world as we're living.
