 How's that? Yeah, it's fine. Hmm. Check. Sound check. Sound check. Sound check. Check. Check. Test use. Test use. One, two, three. Hey, can I even see if... Oh, I can hear myself on your thing. Oh, no, I'm sorry. So my sound must work then. Yeah, it's working. Okay, party people. All right. Shut up for a minute. Or do whatever you want. I'm trying. Minor monologue. Talking about something. What was I going to talk about? Oh, yeah. So there's this conversation I keep having over and over. Like, for decades, I've had this conversation. Not every day or anything, but you know, every... Oh, good. Tomaters can hear me. Excellent. So every once in a while, I have this recurring conversation. And I'm going to talk about it a little bit right now. So the conversation goes kind of like this. I meet someone who... Wait, how do you get the chat to not show up on mine and just show up on yours? Yeah. Because I keep reading it. And it's like there's a squirrel jumping out there. And I'm like... All right, all right. Okay. So I'll meet someone. And like me, they agree that society is just like so controlling and humans are treated like cattle. And if you get out of line, you just get whipped back into line. There's all this propaganda all over all the time telling us what to do, what not to do, what to think, how to poo, you know, all this stuff. And I'm like, yeah, I hear you. And I think this conversation happens a lot because, you know, I talk about this stuff in YouTube videos and people watch them and then they start up this conversation with me. And then they say, oh, yeah. I really want to move out to an island like you. And when I used to live on a mountain, it would be like, I want to move out to a mountain like you. And I'd be like, oh, cool. And then they'll describe all the stuff they want to do. Yeah, I don't grow food. I want to build stuff and do all the... They'll paint this amazing picture of all the stuff they want to do. And then they'll say, but I could never do it like you because your house, you know, has this thing I don't like and, you know, I don't like this other thing that you do. And they start saying all this stuff that I'm doing that they don't like, that they don't like. And then I'm just like, well, what does the way I'm doing it have to do with the way you're doing it? Oh, is there a boat here? Oh, there's a boat here. We got to send someone away. Anyway, so I'm like, look, I built my house because it's the house I wanted. When you build your house, you would build the house that you want. I mean, whether or not you like my house doesn't matter. My dream is not your dream. You do your own thing, right? Obviously. And then they say, oh, well, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I get what you're saying. I get what you're saying. Oh, okay. Yeah, but like, you know, I couldn't do it in a place like you're doing it, you know. And I'm like, oh, here we go. Okay. So why couldn't you do it in a place like I'm doing it? It's always the same two or three things. Well, I need a nice sandy beach and I need a nice reef with lots of colorful fish. And there's always those two things. And then sometimes I also, I need, I need no bugs. And they start painting this picture, which is like the most beautiful thing ever. And then I'm like, well, you don't have to say any of that. Everybody wants the most beautiful thing ever. There's no reason to say I want the most beautiful thing ever. Like everybody wants the most beautiful thing ever. That's why not everyone can have it. And then I try to explain that, you know, if you're waiting for the most beautiful thing ever, you're going to be waiting right up to the grave. You're going to die before it ever happens. Because no one's going to come up to you and say, oh, the great barrier reef is for sale. And how much money do you have? Yeah, that's what it costs. And there's also a nice sandy island there for you. And it's all perfect. Oh, and there's no bugs there. And like, you really don't have to make very many, very many parameters like this before you're talking about a place that doesn't even exist. Like a sandy beach, a nice reef, and no bugs. I don't know if that place even exists on planet Earth. But say there was a place like that. And people will say, oh no, there's places like that. Well, I've been to a fancy resort that was like that. And it's like, well, no, they're spraying for bugs. And there are a lot of resorts around here, not right around here, but, you know, 10 miles away. And I've spoken with people and they just spray tons of poison. Like every, oh, don't jump on there dude, every week just killing the bugs. And there's just everything is coated with this layer of poison. That's why there's no bugs. Like trying to find the perfect thing is a futile effort. And that refers or that's relevant to trying to do anything. Like if you're trying to find the perfect car or buy the perfect house or find the perfect time to go for a walk or mow the lawn or do anything. There is no perfect, the perfect time to talk to that girl. Oh, it's not the right time right now. No, there's never a perfect time to do anything. And there's no perfect anything that's going to come and be like the perfect thing for you. So if you wait for the perfect thing, you're just going to be waiting forever. Now, in addition to that, I'm going to talk a little bit about, you know, specifically going off grid. So if you're someone who wants to maybe live a little bit secluded where you can have more, more independence and a bit more freedom, then you really don't want like the most beautiful place because you know what the most beautiful place has? Like hotels and people and tourists. Like if this place where I am right now was surrounded by a beautiful beach and there was like a perfect reef there and there was just somehow naturally no bugs and it was just this amazing paradise. There would be hotels all around here. And even if those weren't up yet, tourists would be coming in here all the time and bringing their garbage and their plastic bags and their bottles and it would just be, the place would be trashed. So anyway, if you want to move somewhere where you can have a little more freedom and be a little bit secluded, like have your privacy, look for the place that no one else is looking at. Find the place that maybe doesn't look so amazing from the outside. But when you look at it, you think, well, you know what I could do with that? I could turn that into something I could really be happy with. And, you know, that's how you get things done in life. Don't look for the perfect thing. Look for what you can make work. Look for something that has the potential that you need to be able to get the thing you want. So that's all I have to say about that right now. What are you guys talking about? Let me just see what's going on here. Oh, you murdered the like button. Excellent. Okay, now that you guys have arrived, we can begin. There's another thing I wanted to talk about. Oh, get some AC. Get some more solar panels for the home and get some AC. You know, I'm never going to put AC up in my house, partly because my house doesn't get that hot. And probably, maybe I shouldn't say never. There might be a circumstance under which I would get air conditioning, but it's a really low priority. I feel like there are a lot of other things I'd rather do. And I got to look out the window because Deshaina got distracted. Oh, Jeff, don't worry. We won't start without you. You missed my terror. He just said that. All right. I'm going to go on another monologue about treat yourself. Treat yourself is what the advertisers say when they're trying to get you to waste money and resources and time and energy on things you don't need, that you don't even want, that you don't even care about. But they're like, oh, this doesn't matter to you at all. But treat yourself because it will make you feel good in a very short amount of time called stuff after. Hey, why are you retracting your messages? No retracting messages. Hello, Portland, Oregon. And hey, Mike. I know that's Mike there. Hold on a second. Deshaina went out to check there was a boat that pulled up. I'm going to see what's going on. Hey, Deshaina, what's going on? I heard her just say, oh, hold on. I got to go to whoever was there. So maybe we'll find out where that is. Someone's been watching since the giant robot days. Oh, you know, there was, OK, there was another. You should treat yourself to putting for your birthday. That sounds great. But I just wouldn't wouldn't think about treating yourself too much. I'm not answering the Starling question. I answer that every week. OK, here's a question for you guys. Not a question for me. So you can see I just shaved my head and my face, right? I have a really crappy shaving thing. What do you guys used to shave? And does anyone have like an excellent thing to shave with? Oh, Derek, don't don't be. Don't be sorry. All right. He asked about the Starling question. I wasn't sure if you were just messing with me. Yeah, I don't. I don't have Starling because it costs a lot more than what we have right now. What we have is I don't have Starling because it costs a lot more than what we have right now. What we have is working. Yeah, I got the Starling question already. No, no. Anyway, I'm not trying to be rude, not answering the Starling question. It's just every week it comes up and I figured everyone heard it by now. But yeah, it's just more expensive than what we have and what we have works. No, don't do that. OK, so what do you guys used to shave? Yes, it is spectacularly aerodynamic hairdo. You're right, man. I can swim like a dolphin right now. I mean, I'm still hairy all under here, but my head is just like boom. But yeah, it takes me forever to like all this. You're interrupting me forever. You're interrupting me again. All right. Who's who's keeping the interruptive score that's six to zero for you? Just kidding. OK, so what do you guys used to shave your face and your head that works well and doesn't take forever? I haven't in the past had things that work better than what I have now, but I don't remember what they were. And I don't even necessarily need like the close shave, like just some buzz, buzzer, like, you know, sheeps here device would be great. Get you the vacuum dog groomer. OK, I don't want to do Gillette one blades because that's disposable things. I don't want disposable things partly because I don't want to have to keep getting them and second, like I don't I don't want the garbage. Well, we already have a dual safety. Manscape ball trimmer. What's a manscape ball trimmer? Like are we talking about balls? Cool. OK, you guys, can you guys like stop? Yeah. OK, this guy has a pair of use some old clippers I've had for like 20 plus years. Where can I get those? I know, I probably can't find them. But like, man, I would love to get some some old because they used to make things that work. Now everything they make is just garbage and it's terrible. I'm thinking about just getting a straight razor and just sharpening the crap out of it. No. Well, it wouldn't make that sound. It would be more like oyster electric clipper with the smallest spacer. So does your oyster electric clipper work well? No. And I have my hair is real strong, too. He said he said oyster. Maybe it's oyster. Hey, Deshaetian, do you want to come over here? Here, keep track of what's going on here. Oh, I will. He says it's a good all round trimmer. No, no, let it back down. Old Norelcos? Yeah. OK, can you two go a little bit more? I don't have enough space. Oh, man. See, this guy got an old one from his uncle that hadn't been charged in 10 years and it just worked right away. So much better than the stuff today. That's actually one of the problems with lithium batteries. Like lithium batteries are amazing when they're working. But if you don't keep charging them, you know, they just die real quick. And then once they die at a certain point, you can't charge them again. But like the old NiCADs, the nickel cadmium batteries, those you could leave them sitting around for years and they still work. I actually have a flashlight that has nickel cadmium batteries in it. And I got it from a guy on Craigslist. And I bought, I bought basically his whole workshop. Like he was a guy who was old and retiring and he was selling a bunch of tools. And I just asked him, you know, how much would it cost to just buy all the stuff? And he was like, well, how about 500 bucks? So I just bought like everything in his workshop. And one of the things was this flashlight that I didn't necessarily want. But, you know, it came in the thing. And that was maybe six years ago and I haven't charged it. And I don't know how long it's been since he charged it. And just the other day I turned it on and the light turned on and I'm like, why does this even work? Like this seems like such a weird thing. You know, having dealt with today's modern technology where, I mean, if you don't pay attention to something for a month, it's dead. I have two laptops with dead batteries in them. Because while I was building my house, I didn't keep up with the charging. I didn't keep up with the maintenance. So I had to order new batteries for them, which is kind of a pain in the butt. I have the nursery and I have to turn the pan on to do that. All right, go ahead. All right, we got a baby situation here where a baby needs some... Well, I understand. When you want some boobies, you want some boobies, man. Totally understandable. All right, beer. Let's see if anyone else has got some... Oh, did you hear? Tomater got his coffee cup. Oh, Tomater, you got your coffee cup? He's been there drinking with her right now. Nice. Jamie is the only person in the world that wants to be bald. Dude, when it's like hot out in the mountain, the sun, right now it's really hot. You can see I'm glistening from sweat. But yeah, it's nice to just be like cool off. When I lived in the cold, I wanted to look like a tennis ball. But yeah, out here in the tropics, when it gets hot and sunny, I just want to be like cool off. Although the other thing that does keep me cool is when I do have hair, if I just stick it straight out, it's like the air can flow in better. All right, this guy's used the same clippers for five years to hell with tea. The corded Moser Trimmers. Really powerful and no battery that wears out. Okay, this guy wants to know if I own a gun for just in case protection. I do have a BB gun that's a rifle that's pretty strong that wouldn't be the greatest thing. But in a pinch, if I needed to shoot someone with it, it would do some damage. And I do also have a nail gun with the explosive charges that if I needed to, I may have or could possibly modify it to fired nails at really high speeds. Okay, why don't I use sails on my boats? That's a good question. We'll get back to some more shaving items. eBay has vintage clippers. What are the best vintage clippers? If you have something in mind that you think is really good, like a really good shaver thing, just email a link to theadventurebuildermovieatgmail.com. It should be in the description. It's in the description of the videos. I don't know if it's in this one yet, because Deshaigne has been managing my channel and stuff, which I got to say, super thanks for doing that, by the way. So she's been taking a lot of stuff off my plate lately, like administratively, which is super helpful. Okay, so the one question is, why don't I use sails more often? Well, the first boat I made when I moved here, I put sails on it, and I very quickly learned that sails are not the best thing around here. Partly because there are so many little islands you have to navigate around, and sometimes you have to tack through a really skinny channel that you can't tack through. So I would have to wrap up the sail and just paddle like mad to try to get up some channel. And I started asking people about it, and the general consensus around here is that, yeah, sails are not good around here, because the wind changes so much, it's so unreliable, and then trying to weave between all the islands like it's just really difficult to sail. So that's why I've been going with the solar panels. The solar panels and the electric motors have been really good, and the pedals have been really good too. Of course, I like getting the exercise. Okay, have I ever thought of introducing some animals to my islands? Well, Dashaina has chickens and rabbits and... Well, he also brought some frogs over because their neighbors said they eat ants, and she was like, Oh, they eat termites? So she has these... I want some of those frogs. So she has these frogs that eat termites and ants. They're green dart frogs. You know, like the ants that, you know, back in the day, people used to take their little poison arrows and rub it on the frog and then shoot monkeys or whatever they're shooting? Yeah, poison dart frogs. Don't lick them or anything, but, you know, they eat ants and termites and stuff. But yeah, the animals that you have, like, on purpose that you really, like, want, want is the chickens. And my son just brought an egg in. He just walked in the house and was like, I have an egg! And I was like, Oh, did you get that from the chickens? Yeah, I just went in there and, you know, stuck his hand up a chicken and... Well, maybe that's not exactly how it happened. I think he found it in the nest. But yeah, we get eggs from the chickens and then a couple little, well, a few little bunny rabbits that aren't doing anything, but they're basically pets. Oh yeah, they mow the lawn. Because they nibble on the grass. That's why your lawn always looks so nice. Yeah, so on my island, whenever I walk around on my island, I take a machete and just swing it kind of in front of me, just kind of, like, haphazardly hacking any grass. And as long as I, you know, kind of do that whenever I'm walking around, you know, it keeps the grass down. But Dashaina's grass is really nice because she has rabbits cutting it. They spot it and they keep it trimmed. I've been watching you for six years since the giant robot Spider-Days. Man, I remember those. I can't wait to build another giant robot. That is going to be so fun. But I don't want to start doing it till, you know, I get enough things worked out that I can just totally focus on it. Because the last one, you know, the last giant robot I made, it just went on for, like, I don't know, like a decade or something. I don't think it was that long. Maybe it was. No, I think it was like a decade. Anyway, it was just kind of going on in the background. But the next time I build a giant robot, I want to have everything kind of worked out where I can focus on it and just do a really, really kicking butt job and, yeah, just focus on it. Anyway, I figure I owe you for the years of excellent entertainment. Oh, thanks, man. Is the Solar Dozer still alive? Yeah, it's over there. I talked about this last week or the week before. So the Solar Dozer is totally good. Everything works on it as far as I can tell, anyway. But I can't get it out of here to my island because it's kind of hemmed in by gardens. And I don't want to just run over the gardens and kill a bunch of food plants. So I figure at some point I'm going to get motivated one day and I'll go over there with some wrenches and just take it apart down to pieces I can lift. Hopefully, I don't have to take it apart too much. A lot of the weight is just the batteries. Like, if I disconnect the lead acid batteries out of the back, I might be able to move it. And anyway, if I... I might have to, you know, take a few other parts apart. But I'll just take it apart enough to move it to my bow and then take it to my island and then put it together. And then I'll be very excited to drive it around. Oh, yeah, that'll be fun. Let's see. Can you tour the fruit trees on the dock soon? Okay, fruit trees, that brings up something. I just made a video, actually, that I'm going to give to Deshaena because now she just uploads them for me. It's so nice. Oh, it's so useful. She also did like the... I gave her the design for the... for a mug that a few people have bought. And I can just give her the design. I don't have to spend hours like finding the mug and putting it on there on the internet and stuff. Oh, she's been taking care of that, which is great. But anyway, fruit trees. So I just made a video about that, but I'll just tell you what the video basically is right now. Deshaena, what was it like? I don't know. Last Friday... Well, anyway, I don't know. A couple weeks ago, she started talking to people online asking who wants to do a plant swap, basically. So, you know, got a few people together and people would list what plants they had and what plants they wanted and then arrange whatever. And last week sometime, you went to town and met with a bunch of people and everyone did a plant swap. And she came back with all these fruit trees that we didn't previously have, which was so exciting. And some of them are here and I got to take some to my island. So on my island, I now have a cherry tree. Not like a cherry tree like North American, you know, cold weather cherry tree. It's a tropical cherry tree like Suriname cherry tree. What are there other names for it? Like miniature pumpkins. So the cherries look like little pumpkins. Like, I looked it up as tropical cherry tree and I got pictures of it. But I believe the... Stop doing that! Sorry. Yes, it's also called a star cherry tree. So I looked it up online as a tropical cherry tree and I saw the pictures of the cherries. So if you want to look it up, that's where it is. They're supposed to be really good. I'm very excited about them. So I planted one of those on my island. I kind of wish I had two because, you know, you never know if one's going to make it. But I planted it two days ago, something like that. And it still got all its leaves and it actually grew a couple more. So I think it's good. And I got another avocado tree, which is different avocado than the ones I've already planted. Oh, a cherry moya, which is otherwise known as custard apple, which sounds delicious! So I don't know how amazing that's going to be, but I've been told these things are amazing. I have a friend from Canada who said, Wow, you live in a tropical place. You have to plant the cherry moya. And that was like the only thing she said. So these things must be pretty darn good. So I have a cherry moya tree and a few citrus things, a coffee. You gave me a coffee tree, didn't you? Yeah, I don't drink coffee, but if I grow a coffee tree, I mean, I'm going to have to try it at least. And a few other trees, a jackfruit. I don't know what jackfruit is either. I'm debating whether I look it up online to see what a jackfruit is or maybe I just wait and see what comes of this thing. And then some pigeon peas, which are just little pigeon peas. Those weren't a tree. But a few other fruit trees, I don't know what they were. I have to ask, but I just planted them and I'll find out. So that is what I was doing this week. Someone just said lethal weapon two and I do not know what the rest of that conversation was. Oh, what's the best part of my week? Someone always asks that question. Is that the same person every week asking what the best part of my week is? Like last week it was, what was the second best part of my week? Alright, what was the best part of my week? Well, yeah, I just talked about getting those fruit trees. The best part of my week was it was Deshaina's birthday and she left. Oh yeah, she left, that's right. That's why it was the best. That's right. Deshaina left this last week for three days when it was her birthday and she had friends and did all kinds of stuff and then just me and the kids hung out at my place. Just, I don't know, we had fun. I don't even know what we did. We played the Lego, we played tag, we played chicken, chicken, bark, bark. Don't even ask. I don't know how to explain what chicken, chicken, bark, bark is. But we played it and yeah, we had lots of fun. Well, let me think. Okay, the fruit trees was really exciting this week because that's something I've been, you know, like on my island, there's a bunch of things I want to do. I got my house and that is, it's not finished, but like it's done enough that I moved in and you know, I still got stuff to do with it. But it's like, it's like there enough that I'm like, yes, I've got it. But then in terms of the plants, like I want to have all, I want the whole island to be covered in food plants. So I was starting to feel like I was maybe falling behind a little bit on what I was hoping for. I had some avocados planted and I thought that was really great and a few other little things, some water apple trees and stuff like that. But yeah, but then really, really excellent for me. I was very excited about that. So maybe that's the most exciting thing that happened this week. I did also go to town and the weather wasn't very good so I basically pedaled the whole way there and it was exhausting and that was two days ago and yesterday I was kind of knocked out. I mean, I still planted a bunch of the trees and stuff but I was feeling pretty sluggish. But usually after I feel sluggish for a day from exercising a lot, the day after I'm like, I wake up and I'm like, oh, I don't feel sluggish anymore and I'm kind of hyped up. So that's where I am today, feeling pretty good. Yeah, it's like, I don't know how many people here do endurance sports but when you do endurance sports, like you run a marathon, you get this period after where you're kind of wiped out but then when you bounce back from that, it's like, oh yeah. So you want to come sit? Come sit. You knocked out that baby. So right over there, there's a baby who's drunk on milk and totally knocked out. You just go a little bit. This way? Yeah. Hey, I would so eat those rabbits. Okay, so popcorn bower, popcorn bower. Oh yeah, my popcorn plants are getting little popcorn cobs on them. So hopefully those get big. Okay. So he says he would so eat those rabbits. Well, if... Oh yeah, there was a snake that ate three of them. A boa constrictor. And bit you. Yeah. Yeah, so anyway, we dealt with that situation. What was he, what was I answering? What was I talking about? Oh yeah. So if the apocalypse happens, you know, and basically the apocalypse means there's no more food at the grocery store. Like you can talk about zombies and plagues and all this stuff. But basically the point when you're at the apocalypse is when there's no food at the grocery store. Like that's the real thing. Even with zombies, if there's food at the grocery store, people are just like, ah, well, everything's fine, it's just there's zombies around. Anyway, when there's no food at the grocery store, like real apocalypse, well, that's when we started... I already took out one of her chickens because they had the boat issues, so they couldn't get anywhere. Wait, wait, what? Our neighbor, she had to eat one of her chickens because of that. Oh, she was like, she ran out of food and didn't... Well, yeah, because the motor wasn't... like the motor, they'd taken it to the mechanics, right? Right, so their boat was out of commission and they ran out of food. They ran out of food. So they ate one of the chickens. Yeah, they ate one of the chickens. Super peaceful. Yeah. I'm sure if they were really desperate, they could have got somewhere. Yeah, they would have called me. Yeah, yeah. But that's what they're there for, man. When you get to the point where you need something, yeah. So... So, okay, anyway... Oh, any new robot project bouncing around in the back of my mind? Well, yeah, I mean that's... I was just talking about the giant robot project that I wanted... I wanted to do a giant robot project number two. And before I do that, I'm going to have to build some scale models, small versions of things. But, yeah, I don't want to start doing that until I've got enough things done that I can totally focus on it. Because I want to focus on that and, you know, really enjoy it and do a super amazing job. Don't keep pushing that, because I have it right here. All right, you look at the things. I'm looking at the things. All right, I'll turn off my comment. And you can... Someone says that's a nice quilt in the background. Oh, yeah. Much respect. You must have done a really good job on it. No, it was a gift. You still... You didn't brush your teeth. You still have this green thing. Do I have a thing on my teeth? I don't know. Okay, I think we're good now. Look, my teeth look so yellow in this light. You're just doing a little tooth. Really? Oh, it's probably just compared to the bleached white. It's probably just compared to the bleached white. No, I just have yellow teeth. Okay. I mean, you know, have you seen any UFOs here? Unidentified flying objects. Well, I can't identify most of the birds. They're just like... I called something a hock the other day. I don't know if it was a hock. So... And so tell us a little bit more. If you're talking about space aliens, no, nothing. I do, however, have a neighbor who's been visited by space aliens many times. And he will tell you all about it. So kind of... Smokes a little bit. Smokes a little bit. A lot. But we love him. Oh, I love him. He's awesome. He's totally amazing guy. He's the first person ever. Yeah, he's super easy to get along with. Thank you for too. All right. So last week, you were talking a little bit about the baby birds that you had found in your yard. Is there any update to this? Oh, yeah. That's what I call the hock in my fruit video. So in... Well, I guess I'll just have to watch the video now. No, you stop watching the video because you stopped. So when I was... When I was... I was... I got the cherry tree, you know, the tropical cherry, star cherry, serename cherry, whatever you want to call it. The pumpkin cherry. Oh, God. When I got the cherry tree and I was going... I went up to the, you know, the hill behind my house with my shovel and Bellatrix came with some water and she helped me. No. So I was looking for where to put it and I was like, oh, I might not want over here because there was a bird nest here. It was a baby bird and a, you know, some hock thing. Was this the one with the little pink eggs in it? Yeah, it had, like, a month or two ago whenever I first thought it was the little pink eggs. Right. And then there was... I saw the little puffball bird and it looked at me and I was like, just looking funny like little baby birds. Anyway, so in the video I was going to put the cherry tree like kind of near where the nest was and I was like, I don't know if I can do that because the bird might still be there. Yeah. Was it still there? So I walked over and I was like, well, let me just check that it's not there anymore. And then the bird suddenly popped out from like under this like little, like grass cave and whenever I get too close to the nest the bird jumps out, kind of flies a little bit and flaps on the ground, like it's hurt. And I think it's trying to fake me out, like, like, come this way, come eat me. And then it I mean, it's totally, it's totally not hurt because it just like it moves very easily but then it like sticks one wing out and it's like, but anyway, so I left that spot and I put the cherry tree somewhere else. I was trying to say, no, not here. And I did not see the baby bird this time. I think they, they moved kind of further under some little grass cave. I just, I didn't want to investigate and scare them or anything. Yeah. Like cave, others. Yeah, I don't know why they're not up in the tree. Well, maybe they're just too big. Maybe the, it's not that big. Maybe the, Oh, okay. Yeah, not huge. Like a big pigeon. I mean, I think this thing could tear a pigeon to shreds. Yeah. Because it's like, got a beak, like, and it's got claws and it's like brown and it's got like on the end of its wings, it's got like white stripe kind of thing. When did that big boat that was bought think? Oh, the, the boat that I bought. The $1,000 I got. Oh, it was $1,200. Yeah, I couldn't remember. All right. Let me just give the whole story about the, that boat. Some of them have been a series about that too, right? Or a video? I haven't really gone into it much. But anyway, so I, I, online, I found this, this $1,200 big sailboat. It's like a 40, 41 foot thing. Looked at it and it was leaking at the time. So it was sinking at the time. But, but I figured all the, all the, the metal on the top, like all the accessories. And like, there was a solar panel, a couple of masks, like tons of stainless steel cables and stainless steel railings and, and, you know, what are those thing cleats to tie off? There was, there was a lot of hardware on this boat that was worth way more than $1,200. So it was kind of the concern that it was leaking water and it was kind of relying on a pump to stay floating. Where was it leaking water? It's at the bottom. Oh, okay. Um, it also leaks water from the top or when it rains. Right. Anyway, so I was like, well, even if I, even if the thing sinks, as long as I get all this hardware off, it's still going to be worth it. Um, and I'd rather it sink with me after having removed all the stuff and the whole thing go down somewhere. So anyway, I kept it afloat for a while and I, you know, kept taking pieces off it. But eventually it was just like it rained a lot one week and the, there wasn't much sun for the solar panel to power the, the pump, you know, the battery ran dead and, you know, it just got to the point where it was sinking faster than I could save it. And so, kind of like the day that it was going down, I got out my tools and just pulled off everything else I could and it went down. So, I mean, I was sort of hoping in the back of my head that at some point maybe I could figure out how to save the whole thing. But, I had kind of resigned myself to the idea that it might, I might not be able to save the hull because it was in really rough shape. Even the, like the exterior had lots of cracks in it and stuff and there was like, you know, fiberglass exposed. Anyway, I got all the hardware off and that was worth more than I paid for it. So, I've used that for a lot of things like steel cables around my house, the stainless steel cables around my house, the cathedral. There's, those are all from the boat and then there's two pieces of one of the masts holding up my third floor, which isn't really a floor yet. It's just kind of like the joists. And then just, just lots of stuff like that I got off it. That was worth it. But yeah, it sunk, you know, a few months ago. I think it was six months ago, something like that. I don't even know what it is right now. Six months ago, it sank, something like that. Yeah, it was after it rained for like a week straight. Yeah. Um, okay. So, Derek would like to know what is the first, the most, the most, it's all capitalized. The most world luxury thing you guys do or are planning on doing, going to an all inclusive resort for a few days. Oh God. But then it has a question mark at the end of that, so I'm not sure if he's asking that. No, just the idea of going to, like, this is, this is kind of an interesting point though. Like, when you live in a home that you really like, the idea of going on a vacation somewhere else is just like, why would I do that? You know, when you live in a place you don't like, a vacation somewhere else is amazing. But when you, when you build the home you want, like, I don't want to go anywhere else. I definitely don't want to sleep anywhere else. Like, I want to be at my house. Like, I want to wake up at my place and look around and be like, ooh, what can I do today to make my own house even more amazing than it was yesterday, you know. Yeah, the idea of going somewhere else and sleeping somewhere else. But what, what, what luxury things do we have that we really like? You're more luxurious than me. Yeah. I don't care about hot water at all. Like, it's, it's hot enough. Like, I, well even, even when I lived like in Canada I always had cold showers. I didn't want hot showers because, probably because I was always running and exercising and stuff. And I always, I was always hot. Like even in the winter I'd go out in this, in a t-shirt and just be hot all the time. So yeah, I was always trying to cool off. So here I have a climate to the heat. How does it feel probably for you to have a water filter? I do have a water filter. That was purchased. That was, I didn't buy it or anything. Yeah. I mean, like, like I would say the most luxurious thing you have. But I have drinkalized the water straight from the thing before. But yeah, I'm trying to think what, what luxury, oh no, I have a projector for movies. Right. So I watch. We have internet. You have internet. I don't have internet. But yeah, at my house probably the most like kind of a nice projector. It was in one of my videos. It only costs like 60 bucks or something like that. Which is funny because those things used to cost like a thousand dollars. I just want to remind you guys that when you're asking questions, if you could make sure to put the word question at the beginning or like two or three question marks, it just makes it easier when I'm looking through the chat to like filter through the question. Yeah, make your question stand out. Also, if you haven't already and you're enjoying the video, please push the like button in these three seconds. Oh God. I don't want to grow my channel. Yes, you do. My channel is big enough as it is. You don't think my channel is big enough? Yeah. Girls are like, oh, it's never big enough. You're always going to be just a little bigger. It would have been nice. The next question is something that you don't have to make or grow yourself to eat. Just relaxing by the pool with the kids. So like, that's what Derek's he's expanding on his. Oh, no, I like doing all that stuff. So, like, like the idea, like, I don't want to go to a restaurant. Like, if I had the choice of eating at home and I cook on a wood fire right now and the kids cook with me. Like, this morning we made breakfast and I was frying eggs and potatoes and green peppers and stuff. You know, in all in a pan together, well, I'll put the potatoes in first because they take the longest. But anyway, it was like, you know, fry up everything. And Aurora, my oldest daughter, made dough for tortillas. And then I, I took the dough and, and wrapped it around the, the egg stuff and then cooked and made empanadas and, and my other daughter was, was putting sticks in the fire to keep it going. And like, it was fun. Like, we went to a restaurant. That whole pre-eating situation would have just been sitting at a table and we'd talk, but we can talk while we're doing all that stuff. I love doing all that stuff. And then, you know, every once in a while it's like, hey, and then my, my nine-year-old is like, yeah, I need my, my machete sharpen. So she has a, she's had a machete for like, I don't know, like, ever since I moved into my house. Yeah, she's probably like, she's had like a, you know, a real machete, like a, like a steel machete. And I didn't sharpen it at first because, you know, I wanted to make sure she could use it without cutting herself. But yeah, recently I've started sharpening it a little bit more, a little bit more. It's not like razor sharp like, it's sharp enough that if she hit her leg, I mean, she could hurt herself, but she's been doing a really good job being safe with it and everything. So yeah, she's, she's like, I'll go out and cut some wood and bring it back. You know, we do all this stuff and I love all that stuff. I don't want to, I don't want to go to a restaurant. Yeah. So have you heard this? Wait, but is there, is there a thing that I would want to do? I don't know, is there? When that, when that question comes up, like, is there, is there's like some thing that I want to do? I don't think about going anywhere else and doing anything at all. Like I just think of things I want to do at my house or around my house. Like, like going fishing, that's, that's like a luxurious thing. It's not really a luxurious thing because I need to start doing that more because it's a useful thing. But, I don't, yeah, it's all like stuff around my house. Like building a kids fort. I want to build a kids, kids house soon. Eric Bards just sent you a cup of coffee. No way. Yeah dude. I don't even drink coffee. Maybe he was, it's actually, it's a repair. No, it's coffee because I was just talking about the coffee that I planted stuck in the ground. He's warming me up because I'm going to have, apparently going to have some coffee beans. I don't even know what a coffee tree looks like. It's a tree though, right? Yeah, it is a tree. Nah, I don't look it up. I'm just going to let it grow. If it dies, I'll look it up, but. If it dies, you'll look it up. Like, I don't even need to look it up. Okay, what's a jackfruit? Do you know what it is? Okay, let's not even care. I'm going to find out when it starts making them. Although I'm not going to know what they're supposed to look like. So I'm going to pull them. Yeah. Okay, you know what I really want? They did have labels. No, no. I mean, I'm not going to know what the fruit is supposed to look like. So I'm not going to know when it's right or anything. We'll look it up when that happens. That's what I did with the. Watermelon. Next time I go to town and do a good job of planting the seeds. Not what I usually do, which is just kind of like, you know, spit them out there and hope something happens. So do you know of Trump? Trump? Yeah. No. Like TROMP? TROMPE. That's how they Trump. No, what's that? So it says that it could be refrigeration for you. It's a chamber very deep for water to flow into carrying air bubbles. It produces compressed air and condensation exhaust as ice pellets. What? Ice pellets? That's what this person thought. I'm going to have to look up this TROMPE thing. I don't know. Maybe it's the thing. I don't know either. Why do you keep like scooching off the screen more? I already turned it. I think it's just some weaning on my arm. Did I stink? I smell bad? No. I think it's mostly just some weaning on my arm. So. Seems a little bit to me. Mostly. What was the thing you needed to be bigger? Oh yeah. You need my channel to be bigger. That's what it is. You don't want to sit so close to me because you're like this guy doesn't have enough followers. Doesn't even have a big enough channel. I'm just not. I don't even know why I'm here. I mean I'm actually mostly just gracing your show with my presence so that I can help your viewership get bigger. Anyway. Do you have plans to travel outside of Panama at all in the future? I don't. In fact. For vacation purposes. No. Is this. Is this. The same person. This is David Peters then with like. Yeah. I have literally no plans of leaving the area. Yeah. Like kind of the point of. Like. Making my place. Be like the best place in the world is I want to be here all the time. And. They're only there only been two places that I felt like this. One was my place in Vermont. When I where I live before here. I didn't want to go anywhere else. Except in the in the winter. Yeah. But that was. After we've been up for like a month and it had been snowing. But that was partly because everything was frozen. It was just I couldn't do anything. But yeah ever since moving here like I haven't left the area except to do the immigration stuff. We went to Panama City and I had to go to David two times which is just on the other side of the country. Not the other end of the country but like on other than that I haven't left. So some of your members would like to know if you plan on selling your coffee beans they'd like to know. Oh that would actually be kind of hilarious. I'm sure I couldn't I mean not in four beans. Not one cup of Joe. Yeah. I mean I couldn't sell them in any kind of like I'm really going to make profit of this kind of thing. But like I do think it might be kind of funny to like you know yeah send out like beans. Like a couple cups like a handful of beans to a few people here and there. That's hilarious. So I mean it would be new membership here we will sell we will sell coffee beans. You know I can just I can just be like here's a cup of coffee beans and just auction it off. And then to get the coffee beans to someone I'm going to have to take it to our shipper guy and ask him when he goes back to the states can he send it to here and maybe it's somewhere in the states or maybe somewhere like I'll pay for whatever it's just can you send it for me to this place. Yeah. It would be pretty pretty convoluted way to do it. But I think it'll be I would I would do it a few times now on them. Hey look we have 69 viewers. Oh now it's 70. What? Oh and 49. Okay. Alright now someone's going to do 20 thumbs up in a row. What is your dream outcome for your children? Do you expect one of them to rebel and run off to Sodom? I did not read the Bible. That's in the Bible right? Okay. But I'm going to presume like run off to wherever. I don't know do you think any of the kids I mean none of the we have no signs so far that they want to leave. Yeah. Okay. Here's the way I think about my kids. I want to make a home here for them where they can always be welcome and always be safe and they have everything they need to survive. So at any point in time they know they have a safe place on the planet where they can live and be and I wanted to be set up where where you know they've got food growing like they could just be here and have everything Oh somebody would like to know what's the siren sound in the background kids usually Oh there's a there's a fan blowing on the baby to keep her asleep we want the baby to stay asleep baby sleep baby anyway so I I just want to make a place where my kids can always be and if they want to go off and do other things that's fine and if they want to stay here and do things here totally cool too I think I mean this this can of course change but so far the kids have not been interested at all in going to cities or anything like that in fact the few times we've taken them to cities they're just like dude it's so loud and dirty and I just want to go home can we just go home where we can relax you know and not wear clothes yeah not wear clothes because they just want to like be naked most of the time but oh you just distracted me from it sorry nothing important I guess no we were just talking about hopes for the kids and whether they thought they were going to go off into the world yeah and I'm going to help them build houses and you know teach them how to do all kinds of stuff here so essentially you want them to have a place to come regardless of what life brings I want them to have a safe enough place here where they they feel like you know not like not like they're totally being taken care of but they have a safe place where it's stable and secure so they can think about you know the things they really want to do in life so they're not just thinking about I mean when I was a kid I was more focused on protecting myself and trying to get myself out of a terrible situation and everything was like I was just like I just felt like I was closed in all the time just ready to fight like constantly so I want them to have dress really quick for you okay guys so we have a baby who is sleeping right now and unfortunately in order for her to stay asleep we have to have a fan on and the fan makes a siren-ish sound so I apologize if it's distracting the best we can do is have the microphone the way we have it and because it's right on TV well do you want to put that screen thing right there you might block it a little bit we could cut the live for sure no come on no no I don't care we can put that thing right there between us and the fan okay so anyway but that's what it is guys it's a fan we can put that thing right there between us the fan and it won't block the whole thing but maybe it'll help a little no no put it in front of the fan not the window I'm getting out I'm getting a lot of resistance here you know no no right here just right where you are okay sorry move over yeah right there there hopefully that blocks a little bit of fan noise but otherwise you know who it is sorry what's your next question um how are you doing today by the way I'm doing good did you get some sleep last night nope oh alright so okay so Gerald Sutton said that the noise is not a problem the noise is not a problem that's excellent cause like yeah I really I'll try to talk extra loud anyway you could just make some really obnoxious fart sounds I've been told that I have a really nice voice when I'm not trying to yell so a camera can hear me I have a nice voice when you're not yelling yeah most of I'm always like yelling on a camera that's a good like even right now I'm trying to make sure I'm trying to make sure I'm loud enough that I'm understandable it's not happening it's literally that but you could just get into that and hear you that's what my viewers have told me now I'm super self-conscious about like my voice what am I doing oh no what am I going to do like I actually you can hear things from downstairs with that microphone so cool because it's super cheap yeah it's going to beat up a lot so you know one thing that people often say about moving off grid and this is something that people also talk about when they're thinking about moving off grid and maybe this goes back to not getting everything perfectly set up which is never going to happen is like when you go off grid somehow you're taking what's the word opportunities away from your children the thing is you're also giving so whether you're living in a city or living off grid you're making decisions for your children either way so I feel like I'm giving my kids more opportunities here than I'm taking away from them because it's a lot easier to go to the city than it is to get here yeah so if they want to do something in a city I mean that's you just go to the city apparently Rolfi just said that the fan sound is a perfect B he just checked it on his tuning oh nice because he's very musical yeah how are we going to do more music stuff again it's pretty cool he sent me a video about it Eric Bowers says have you heard of Jerry Ellsworth yes I love Jerry Ellsworth lithography lithographic how do you say that word I spoke with Jerry Ellsworth many years ago well she did that when I was her own transistor a couple years ago on top of the other insane DIY things you do ever think of basic chip sub oh like making semiconductors yeah maybe I should look at her videos because one of the things that really irritates me oh my god somebody forgot my name sorry one of the things that really irritates me about building anything with electronics today is just the delicateness of the semiconductors it's so irritating to build something and just think yeah any one of these pieces could burn out like that and they make them to to be crap you know maybe I can make some semiconductors myself that will even if they were huge like most of the most of the stuff I build doesn't use that many semiconductors or anything okay so can I ask the stupid question yeah what's the stupid question while they're thinking this yeah what's a semiconductor oh a semiconductor is like a transistor any kind of micro chip like computer parts basically what is it supposed to do oh wow anything anything anything that's computer this is full of micro chips that thing is full of micro chips like that fan has a bunch of micro chips a transistor is basically a switch that works electronically it's turned off and on that's the basic thing do you think I should tell Anders what my name is sure what do you think your name is I forgot my name was oh that's Dasheina Dasheina now how did how did someone remember before Dasheina there was that song where there was a girl named Shana and at one point he goes and Dasheina was a man oh that's right we're all about that I'm sure you love that that was awesome I remember your name and Shana was a man yeah I'm not so you know now everyone's going to remember we're like a thousand years sorry okay let's see what else do we got here how do you think the kids are doing I think they're doing great apparently T Mike says I'm awesome you're awesome T Mike is cool he leaves you lots of comments that bump your comments like your algorithm thing like he goes like some of the algorithm bump it's what he says we asked him about that one day and he told me the reason he does that is because it helped your videos no way that's cool yeah so algorithm bump yeah so does it help if I say that if I just sit here and say algorithm I don't know I don't think so I don't think so can we just be like hey we want like a bazillion something the thing is I don't it works that way I don't I like I like quality more than quantity like I like the cool fans who are like I don't even think of them as fans it's just people who are like you know like minded people I like dealing with like minded people whenever I have a video that gets too many views it just brings in all these trolls and it's like ah oh this garbage how do you manage first aid how do I manage first aid and Derek wants to know Derek Atterbury and he wants to know how do you manage first aid and do you have access to first responders okay I'm gonna have to tell you a little story only this little oh it was like a week ago no it was one year gone for your birthday last week anyway sometime last week we were playing something and my son who's three carcanyon he was running full speed tripped on something fell over another thing did a face plant on the concrete and then got up he was like ah and he had this nice like red thing on his forehead right where he smacked on the concrete and as soon as Aurora the 11 year old she's 11 12? 11 as soon as Aurora heard that she goes over and she's like oh come on he's like ow she's like she drags him over to the sink she washes it and she's like okay I'm gonna put some alcohol on he's like okay do it and she's like and then she like wraps his head with all this stuff like way more stuff than anyone needed to do like it wasn't like pouring blood or anything it was just like a red it wasn't even blood coming out it was just like you know it was a red spot maybe yeah there was not really any blood but yeah for the rest of the day he was like the hospital patient one of his bandages and it wasn't like white bandages it was like colorful like a bright purple and black like zebra stripe thing and then like a nice bright orange one and then once would start falling off and turn into like a pirate eyepatch and he'd be like I'm a pirate oh no but your bandages are coming off let's get back to the hospital yeah I mean yeah they love hospital yeah and we started everyone knows Firefly right it's a sci-fi show made by Joss Whedon and only ran for one season it was a really good show we started watching that recently so my three-year-old is is like all the male characters he's captain Reynolds and he's Simon the doctor say the doctor so he got you know Kaylee who was I think Bellatrix except Bellatrix is moving too much so she got fired from being Kaylee so Aurora yeah the engineer so Aurora was Kaylee and she'd been shot and Karkanin my three-year-old was operating on her pulling the bullets out and he said to her oh yeah he said no it wasn't even to her he said he stopped at one point and said there's nothing more I can do for her until she stabilizes just what they said which is what Dr. Simon said in the show and it was just hilarious that he wrote and it was just hilarious that he remembered the line exactly somebody would like to know and when I get when I get hurt I just like spin on it and rub it in and say damn it and carry on oh god um okay so somebody would like to know Jamie you built a cement mixer with PVC pipe why didn't you use it on the cathedral build so this for anyone who doesn't know I made it I made a cement mixer it wasn't a powered thing it was just kind of this cradle that had big roller bearings on it like big roller bearings made out of PVC and I could fit uh 55 gallon drum in that you know like up at an angle like this so the opening would be up there so I could throw stuff in and just rotate the whole thing and it would mix the stuff pretty well and I did test it a few times it worked pretty good and oh I know why I didn't use it I started using it to hold styrofoam bits instead so to make styrocrete which is just like lightweight concrete with styrofoam instead of rocks I made this thing to chew up the styrofoam into little bits that were the rocks and that fits on top of a 55 gallon drum which was the main piece of this cement mixer so I would use that to fill I guess if I rearrow somewhere but I I guess I just didn't want I didn't it didn't matter that much and most I guess the the question probably has something to do with me saying my back was tight yeah it does but a lot of that has to do with carrying the stuff like most of the work here like with anything to do with concrete or wood or anything most of the work is moving it like getting it to the site once it's at the site it's it's a lot easier do you think you could come up with a way to make like some kind of weird conveyor belt solution thing I've been thinking about I feel like we talked about this I've been thinking about a conveyor belt thing for just moving just all kinds of stuff like dirt sand rocks you know just whatever like unloading the boat all kinds of stuff like that attached to the yeah so the the thing that got me thinking about it most recently was the canal like that goes into my island that I drive my boats up it kind of fills with sediments over time so now when the tide is low if it's low enough I'm like pushing through mud you know when the tide is most of the time I'm not it's fine but when the tide gets low I'm pushing through mud so I'll get in there with buckets and I'll shove a bucket down to the bottom with air trapped in it and then tip it and the air rushes out and it sucks up mud and then I'll I have to get out to dump it on the land I can't just dump it into the water but then I was thinking you know if I just made a conveyor belt thing I could just dump it into that you know I wouldn't have to keep getting in and out of the water which doesn't sound like it'd be that big of a pain but it's not edge or anything it's like kind of climbing up a muddy bank you know somebody just commented that and said for moving things across it's John Schlick says moving things across weird terrain look up drag line that loggers uses to and still do sometimes well if it's what I'm thinking if it's what I'm thinking of it wouldn't be useful for like moving a bunch of mud for example or moving a bunch of rocks and sand I mean that would be good for like moving a log because if it's a drag line that's what I'm thinking of you attach to the log and you can drag the log well I mean Josh Gilbert says you just need an anti-gravity device stuff well yeah once I once I get to the point where I got a bunch of other stuff done I can start working on that cheese could you just get on that should be the priority really who's working on that right now someone's got to be working on that probably like we kind of I don't know I don't even know if he's doing anything with that he's got an engineer working on that somewhere someone's got to have some R&D guys where they're just like hey try to do something impossible just you don't need to get any results just kind of go crazy and see if anything comes out you know it's kind of like go whack a bunch of hornet's nest and see if yeah I did that it don't not a good idea don't do that later no apparently John Schlick threw his back out about five days ago he was reaching for a one pound that's the worst glue that is the worst when you're just in the wrong position and your back is tired or whatever and you tweak it and it's just like oh I feel like such a baby yeah I've done that before you know the weirdest thing happened to me yesterday I think it was I went to you know I mean guys can't relate to this probably unless you have long hair but I went to flip my head upside down to like pull my hair up you know like into a hair knot and when I pull my head down I guess I had some like I don't know liquid in my nose somehow and it felt like I had just sniffed water up my nose it was just I've never had that situation I feel like there's an eyelash in my eye right now it's never happened to me before but it was the weirdest thing I still can't figure out what it was you probably just had a massive amount of boogers in there and no there was nothing it was just like liquid what do you think boogers are made out of oh yeah but I thought my nose was bleeding that's what it felt like I was actually was expecting to have some yeah anyway so there's that yeah there's that somebody just said they recently did that they will seem like lithium ion batteries were made in the 1980s wait wait wait you say that again it says you're going to read that wait they recently did that with lithium salt for bears it will seem like lithium ion batteries were made in the 1980s does that mean there is some better version of lithium batteries that I need to know about now maybe I don't know but let's find out yeah that would be cool because yeah then batteries it was just batteries was not barriers batteries oh batteries not barriers thanks google picks up what's it called auto correct auto correct auto sensor auto sensor everything you're going to say yeah alright so what else is going on Vance all of it well I can hear this this sort of ambulance siren sound what's that what's siren sound there's a siren for anyone who missed it that's the fan baby keeping her asleep she's so adorable but yeah we wanted to sleep yeah like before I met you I'm joking okay somebody would like to know what voltage are your panels and battery banks I use 12 volts and have been buying fans lanterns and other stuff that run on 12 volts 24 I'm 24 volts on pretty much his top 10 show ever is Firefly oh yeah Firefly is a really good show very well made it would have been cool to see where they went with that if they didn't get you know cancelled right away by those pigs but that always happens with any show that promotes sort of like independent thinking and not working like anything where the big company is the bad guy and the government's the bad guy and you know the independent people are the good guys they always get cancelled and promote that sort of terrible idea somebody wait what was the question you just asked right before we got on the Firefly thing oh god we totally got sidetracked yeah you sidetracked me with that what is oh you answered it though it was the voltage of your panels oh yeah everything I'm doing 24 volts everything and I do have a bunch of DC 24 volts stuff and somebody here just mentioned what you did you were talking about making a water cannon and just blasting the mud out at the canal but you did something like that sort of I did make a thing that sucks the mud up and like squirts it squirts it out the problem with that is it sucks a lot of water too and then it ends up kind of like running all over the place and then it rains and it just kind of washes back in like it's not it's not terrible it's not useless but it's not as good as getting in there with the bucket and just getting mostly dirt and well yeah with the technique of pushing the bucket down to the bottom full of air and then just flipping it like right against the mud and the way you do it is like you keep taking out slices so you end up with like a mud wall that you just put the bucket right up against like it just fills the bucket with solid mud and then you can dump it out and it's like solid ground really good and it's not the most fun because you have to get in the water the advantage of using this the mud sucker was I can do it out of the water but it is the bucket has been the best the best technique for getting the job done so far yeah somebody just said another baby I think you need to clarify that it's a toddler oh yeah the baby is one she's the baby until there is another one until like July should be two yeah and she's almost two yeah but like she's still a baby yeah they're just babies the youngest one is the baby somebody says she's gonna be 30 years old I'm gonna call her the baby stinky baby when she was like four she looked a lot younger I would agree with that younger than what you can see all your smooth skin making me a baby wait a minute do I look less distinguished now oh no no I think you look more rugged more rugged yeah like you're gonna what's the what are the three things you like to do kicking ass there are three things I love in life kicking ass TVD third thing here you considered using magnetic coupling to connect the propeller to an enclosed and submerged motor to avoid the need for a shaft seals I have thought about that a lot actually yeah where are you going with that um I haven't got anywhere with it yet there are some difficulties with it well one thing I think if I was gonna get into it and actually build it I would want to just make the whole motor be like I'd want to make the whole motor from scratch and not just have a motor okay well basically I should I should explain the concept you're talking about yeah that's a good idea so basically you know if you have a motor under the water here's the water level you got a motor under the water with it you got a propeller you have to have this seal around the propeller shaft so water doesn't get into the motor and destroy the motor right now you could totally conceal not conceal enclose aha this is my good English you could totally enclose the motor and just have the wires coming out but those would be sealed nice and tight and and at the end of the motor you can have like a plate or something with magnets on it you could have a pair of magnets or a bunch of magnets whatever magnets up against the wall that's of the enclosure right so you got this thing and it's got a magnetic thing spinning around and then on the outside you could have a thing you don't want it touching but you want it to be you know off a little bit so it's not scraping on there but the magnets inside will drive the magnets on the other side so you don't have to have a seal there's no like the magnet the magnetic field is what's going through the material there's no shaft or anything that will let water through right and then you know the magnets on the other side can turn your propeller or whatever so the difficulties are you need the magnets to be strong enough that this isn't just going to start spinning while this has too much resistance against the water I mean you just have to figure out how much how many magnets or whatever you need to thingy and whatever I mean I'm sure it's not that hard to figure out so I have thought about doing that kind of the simpler option is to just have the motor out of the water with a shaft down to propeller which is what I've done and that's been the thing that I've liked the most out of all the different things I've tried because when you have the propeller that's not going to let anything wobble or anything whereas with like a shaft you know it can wobble a little bit at the bottom you don't have to have as good a bearing because the shaft itself isn't going to twist you just have to hold it steady at the end from moving up and down or anything like that so okay all that aside if I then the magnetic thing I just described is making a motor from scratch where there's a ring and the propeller in the middle and the propeller in the middle has magnets all around it and then the ring has electromagnets like coils of wire all the way around it although you don't even need magnets in the middle part you just need a piece of piece of iron or something magnetic in the ring and it's concealed in there and then this would be a brushless motor the coils around I'm not describing it as fast right now but it is something I've been thinking about you know kind of in the back of my head for years and someone's got to be making this I figure someone has to be making this like a ring on the outside with the coils of wire electromagnets in it and then a piece in the middle that is you know self-contained it just has a bearing that doesn't go through to anything else and then the propeller is attached to that and then you can even build that a nozzle is just like a nozzle that goes around your propeller so I think that could if someone you know made all that and did a good job it would be a real slick way to move a boat that as long as you had the alternating current coming into it then it would work really well and the alternating current the reason I keep mentioning that is because getting the alternating current is kind of a pain in the butt because you have to use semiconductors which we talked about earlier yeah Rolfi would like to know there's got to be some way to do it without semiconductors though yeah Rolfi would like to know how this suitcase battery is working so I haven't really done anything with a suitcase battery he's talking about like a video I did pretty recently just a suitcase thing I made it was just a fiberglass case with a bunch of lithium batteries and it's got a battery BMS a battery yeah he actually said that a suitcase BMS yeah the the bowel movement syndrome machine battery control riser battery management system you know keeping the batteries balanced and everything so far I've just played around with it like I'll connect a 24 volt fan to it every now and then just to whatever you know anytime I want to test something or show the kids something that needs 24 volts I'll use it for that but I haven't I haven't used it for any like heavy duty things I haven't taken it out on a boat and connected the motor to it yeah but I mean it seems to be doing good it hasn't caught on fire the little LED read out of the voltage is you know seems to be working and I plug it into my to my house power whenever it's a really sunny day like today just to you know keep it topped up and charged but at some point I'm going to have to put it on a boat and you know do some driving around on it or maybe put it on the kids oh my kids car yeah the kids car that I've been I need to finish I could totally put it on that yeah I just realized I can't believe I didn't think about that before somebody's they'll be able to drive for hours on that thing somebody says you could be a stunt double for Bruce Willis Bruce Willis stunt double just because I'm bald why is he after a tire because he's starting to have like he has a mental can't remember his lines yeah yeah which you know lines are not important yeah so he just needs to know how to shoot stuff have you heard of Will Prouse? no who's Will Prouse? he's the master of Amazon affiliate links on solar battery god I don't know I guess we'll have to look into this person I guess we'll have to look but how do you reverse the propeller then I think this is in reference to what you were just talking about oh ok in terms of reverse this is the magnetic motor thing yeah well for my purposes I wouldn't be concerning about reversing the propeller at all or even about starting up the motor and making sure it goes in the right direction because I would also have pedals on my boat so I would just start going and the water flow would turn the propeller the right way so I'd just turn it on and it would be going the right way and if I wanted to reverse I'd just start pedaling backwards and the propellers start turning the right way and then hit the power of course not everyone's doing that but however they normally do I haven't thought about this because it's not something that would be relevant to my purposes because I always get the boat going with pedals before I turn on a motor but yeah however they do it with what are they called brushless motors I mean there's a million brushless motors out right now probably a billion yeah however they do it with those we got another comment about compliments about this quilt oh yeah it's a nice quilt we should auction it off would you get it from your grandma or something no I got it from my biological mother so could Jamie explain how he constructed the foundation in his geodesic dome in New Hampshire I would call him yeah I'm just reading yeah I know I'm just Vermont of course okay let's go I recall him leading through stones into a form and then pulverize them with a sledgehammer it wasn't a form so when I did oh yeah I only have pictures of this I didn't I wasn't doing video yet so first I found the spot where I wanted to land from when he came to visit after he was like I didn't even know there was a ledge here anyway yeah it wasn't level at all or anything so I leveled it out like mostly just digging down to get down to that little spot and just kind of shoving dirt aside and then since I was digging down most of it had like a dirt edge around so I basically had just a circular hole like maybe maybe like a foot deep ish and after I had that I started pulling rocks out of the ground from just wherever I mean there were lots of rocks there and throwing them out of the ground using a pickaxe to pry them out rolling them there getting them into the hole and I did that I think I did that for two weeks I just spent two weeks every day putting rocks into this into this circular hole until it was like a foot deep and then I spent like another two weeks pounding it with a sledgehammer which sounds so insane right now but I had a sledge hammer with a steel bar handle and I actually bent the handle from just from pounding on the rocks for two weeks because I just wanted to make sure there was a really solid, stable foundation this is the best foundation I've ever made for anything but it was the first like house I made for myself that I thought I was going to be in for a long time I wanted to make sure it was really solid and after two weeks of pounding the rocks like it was it was it was really solid and hard and then I put like that much top and that was the other reason I made it really solid and pounded it really hard just with the rocks because I was carrying any materials up like a mile of road uphill up the mountain to get to the house so I didn't want to have to carry enough concrete up there to do like a real thing you only had like a centimeter of concrete on top of that although a few years after that I did put more concrete on but then it was just another centimeter so I ended up being like two centimeters thick but it was really stable because I pounded it pounded it so much I pounded it so good she didn't move for years can you grow your islands by adding dirt from other islands or ocean floor yes well and they also grow on their own because the mangroves which are the plants that grow in the water they protect the shoreline and they also keep kind of expanding out into the water because I don't know the roots grow down and they collect stuff and all the leaves from the mangroves fall and somehow they just keep making more and more land very slowly but they they make land you know I've noticed that my mangroves are taller like from my kitchen window like I can see mangrove leaves that I couldn't see like a few years ago yeah at the edge of mangroves they're always taller for whatever reason I'm sure I come up with reasons psychologically speaking are you flight or flight in your disposition I'm definitely flight yeah definitely would you say I'm fight or flight flight for sure really yeah what are you I don't know I just want peace why do you say I'm fight what's an example when I was like well like I just feel like you know if you see like an injustice happening to like your family for example like I think your first instinct is to like defend them yeah so I don't think you just run away unless you analyze the situation you were like I think we've got a better chance of leaving you know but I don't think you could potentially fight somebody like I think it's provoked oh I would fight someone for sure I wouldn't if I wouldn't fight someone for no reason but if I had to defend myself or my family yeah I would I would fight like that like it wouldn't be a yeah I think your natural inclination is fight versus walking away yeah but um but I don't want to fight about anything that's pointless or stupid so but that's not really a fight or flight thing that's more just like this is not useful to me at all I don't want anything to do with it when I left North America and moved here because sometimes people talk about it like I ran away but I don't think about moving here as as running away from you know civilization at all I think it was more like this I was running to something I was trying to get to a good place Oxana says low oh Oxana hello Oxana yeah I love Oxana by you all you're the famous figure skater wasn't it many years ago yes I'm presuming it's a different Oxana I don't think it's the same one where's Oxana from is she from I'm not sure we'd have to ask where's Oxana from um so another question is does any of the thing again well I just feel like there's all this empty space over here and I just I don't want to be like no you're supposed to sit closer to me she's like it hates me today or something because so okay now you're touching me whoa whoa whoa I'm kidding it's fine okay I need at least six inches oh god well I could cover that no problem come on anyway so does anyone around here use biodiesel I don't know no not that I know of there's a they're always complaining about gas prices do you think somebody would try it people complain about gas prices because they've been going up a lot there's a problem with biodiesel which is like sometimes people talk about it like biodiesel is the solution everything you just get the the oil from the friars from the restaurants because it's just going the garbage anyway but there's definitely a limited supply of that so you know it's like using biodiesel is a great solution for you know using that instead of it going to waste but it only goes up to a certain point you know once the supply goes up then it's people are just fighting over it and it's no good well especially like the whole pandemic situation less fewer people were eating out yeah oh can you imagine if you converted your truck to biodiesel and then well no one's driving around anyway so it worked out fine I want to know what the environmental impact of the whole quarantine situation was supposedly it improved pollution in some areas well I hope it improved it everywhere because like when I was driving I was like this is the best this is the best part of the day you know bounce back a little from this pollution stuff what are you looking at oh okay so last week guys the reason the live was not available immediately is because we had a naked baby photo bomb as they would call it photo bomb photo bomb yeah well it was partly my fault because the naked baby ran in and I picked her up it took YouTube no joke three days to process the live enough so that I could edit out the part and then process it again it's like one second of babybombs it was like two seconds I mean I don't even think it was two seconds I couldn't blur it because it wasn't functioning correctly but yeah so that's why the replays are always available as soon as YouTube is done converting them and I'd also like to mention me to post the subtitles it is automatically set up to do that for any of doing these videos and mine so like as soon as the video goes up like YouTube starts processing it but because it's an automatic thing with YouTube it sometimes can take them days to process a video into basically we don't have anything to do with that yeah so please like I get asked pretty much every video it has nothing to do with me the subtitle thing is checked off will be available when YouTube is done there's a little bug that keeps flying around my face no but I'm going to get them so that answers that question about why it wasn't available last week yeah dude okay so apparently some people agree that they see you as fights yeah totally I described you perfectly I haven't really known you for that long I mean how could I describe you as perfect you're lucky I haven't I did throw you in the ocean one time oh yeah let's talk about that apparently somebody heard that smog was gone in Japan what? gone? yeah I don't think smog is a like there's smog yeah it's right in front of my face I don't think smog is like a here or gone thing I think it's like the amount changes but it's not like it's not like zero smog and a hundred percent smog apparently we're cracking people up oh good ridiculousness oh good I'm glad someone's enjoying this I know we're seriously okay I don't have any other questions oh somebody would like to know where does the smog go well the mangroves eat it yeah and then people's goats eat that like the mangrove leaves and then they fart it out and then just get it back but as long as it's stored in the goat before it gets farted then it's it's like sequestered in the goat intestines so yeah and it it's like fermenting yeah the smog is basically just well a lot of the smog is stuff that plants will suck up at some point right oh apparently somebody just paid 55 SECs which I think is like three dollars or something to hear about the Deshaena getting thrown into the ocean story could we not do that please oh I can't well I can tell you that I threw her off the dock yeah because Deshaena was yelling at me and then I yelled at her YouTube can show horrible work videos but can't show a baby's I know isn't that insane oh I remember the first time but I just want to say the reason we edited it out wasn't necessarily because of YouTube it was more for her own no it's it's YouTube come on it's an era by the baby's bum would you care seriously if you're bum when you were like I got it yes okay yeah but like I remember there's some some guy not too far from here posted a video of his of his like barely walking toddler at the beach running into the water yay and yeah it was like he had to take it down or they turned it off or whatever they kicked it out we can't handle a naked baby well it wasn't even from the front like we can't handle a naked baby bum well it might instigate our society but that's where we are yeah it sucks it's true it's ridiculous there should you know what we should start a campaign posting naked baby bums ever at all if I still lived in a city yeah and I would I would get out right now I would start doing it like while we were talking I would start carving naked baby bum stencils and I would start spray painting them all over maybe I could start doing that in town except now I said it yeah so they would know who it was it wouldn't be just like the mask but if yeah people need to start just putting naked baby bums everywhere and saying we can handle this so any plans for a waterslide yeah totally well not specific plans but yeah I want to build a waterslide you know there is but oh like I've seen it before on the way to the big blue slide I've gone down it really oh yeah you mentioned that because you were out there the first time yeah it said a resort yeah I picked up some windows from the guy because he got the wrong size or something I don't know he sold the windows real cheap that was nice but yeah it starts way up on a hill and it's like a sheet of it's not a hard slide I'm being called yeah it's a sheet of some kind of plastic plastic stuff and it's insanely fast and the guy when he put me on this thing he's like well okay you can go on the slide but you have to go on this like not a surfboard but like a like a short surfboard thing what do they call them bodyboards or something and you have to sit on it in this way or you'll get hurt so I went down it and it was so fast and apparently people that like skin their elbows and stuff still it was super fun especially since it was so fast you get to the bottom and like like skim across the water that was that was pretty cool so I don't want to make a slide like that that's quite so dangerous and scary it was fun though but yeah I do want to make a slide at some point one thing I don't want to do though is I don't want to make a slide that's visible from outside my island because then everyone's going to show up and be like hey I couldn't help but notice you you know have this slide can we come try it out and people are just going to show up all the time because right now my island is like it just looks like this like it I don't want to say not inviting but it's kind of like a not inviting place like if you know me and you know how to get in it's like oh yeah I know how to get in there and everything's cool today and he drove around the island three times didn't know how to get in you know left and that was totally fine so but I don't know I don't know I'll have to figure out how I want to do a slide I could have a slide go from the top hill all the way down a little bit bigger so you're not like stirring up all the mud and getting like mucky water and DeShayna ran off to feed the baby some boobs where how do I get that deal can I just be like have ladies around and just be like and then just get boobs in my face that's that's off the table after you're like three years old or two or whatever alright now I have to do DeShayna's job well you can touch it on the screen did you guys know the bum bum song by Al Green it's Al Green oh I don't know the bum bum song by Al Green sounds great though remember the sunscreen butt logo I don't know oh yeah yeah that's right did they okay this is just pull that copper tone yeah copper tone used to have the little blond girl on their the bottle of their sunscreen the little little girl with a dog biting her bathing suit with her bum showing did they have to get rid of that because we are a bunch of like cancer culture a bunch of a bunch of wood sees I can't see let's see the real world bird can I oh apparently bodybuilders drink breast milk I've I've heard of bodybuilders drinking a lot of things they're not going to get into right now but yeah I haven't heard the bodybuilder breast milk one because if if I like drink some breast milk I'm going to like bulk up will that help me bulk up get some get some muscles because I can deal with that yeah I'm not going to go to France and get breast milk trees oh the bomb bomb song is Tom Green not Al Green yes my bomb is on the blow my bomb is on the blow my bomb is on the Swedish and yeah I know the bomb bomb song I don't even remember the whole song Brook Shields was one of the baby bombs on copper tone ads I did not know that she's got quite a nice bomb is that is that who I'm thinking of yeah the chain is telling me she has nice thick eyebrows and it's kind of tall but she also has nice bomb I heard you talk about skateboarding have you considered building a mini skate park on your island okay kind of yeah so I've got my house here right and behind the house which way can I do this okay I'll do it this way I got my house here and then behind my house is a big retaining wall and then there's like a hill up here but then around the sides of the retaining wall on both sides of the house it slopes down like around my house to the front and around my house is a concrete walkway which is also great for skateboarding we don't have any skateboards at the moment but I have scooters which I have to say are like one of the most used things like the amount of use versus the amount of time and energy it took to make it is incredible on these things like I just screwed a bunch of casters on the bottoms of some boards put a little stick on front for a handle and my kids like they just use these things all the time and they're amazing anyway those scooter around my house because it's maybe a meter or so wide of like sidewalk around my house now I kind of want to take that sidewalk and keep continuing it like it goes around my house next to the retaining wall but around I want it to kind of come off and then go up the side of the hill there and on this side up the side of the hill and meet at the top and have a big loop around the top and come back down and go past my house down to where the boats are so that one could skateboard or roller skate or roller blade or bicycle up the hill and down and around down the hill I'm going to have to make some part that's not where I can make like a really gradual kind of curving around part to come down where it won't be so steep that it's you know people are crashing all the time it's kind of where I planted all my fruit trees but yeah I want to make lots of spots where you can drive wheeled vehicles and then of course I'm going to have to have some skateboardy stuff like steps you can jump up and skate along or grind as they say I never use the right words for these things you know some spots where you can ollie across stuff and I want to have some ropes hanging from things and so you can you know be driving along and then grab the rope and swing around a thing and I'm going to want to run along these paths a lot too but also I'm going to have to get my hands on a skateboard and I had a skateboard before we came to Central America and it's one of the things I just didn't make it here and I haven't gotten a skateboard since being here so I'm going to I'm going to have to get on that and get one my last skateboard I got I got it in New York City when I was out walking around it was just in the garbage in someone's garbage and it was like sticking out enough that I could see the wheels like the back wheels and I was like that looks like a totally intact skateboard and I stuck my head over the little like three-foot high fence and sure enough oh no it wasn't even inside it was on the outside it was inside but it was out with you know about to be taken by the garbage and I pulled it out totally intact skateboard you know it was a little bit scuffed up but I mean other than that pretty much brand new and that's like the only thing I miss about North America it's just the massive amounts of free stuff because people throw new stuff out all the time Brook Shields later became Calvin Klein Jeans Girl in 1980s huh oh it was Jodie Foster and the Copper Tone too man what are you guys talking about in this video alright let's see adult size scooters are great yeah I built my my big scooter I'm gonna have to drive that around my my thing too I've been thinking about having a propulsion thing on my scooter I don't want to put a motor on it but I'm thinking of just putting like a kind of a pedal I can stand on and push down and it'll pull on a chain or something and make the wheel use my my adult size scooter which is kind of huge with giant wheels all the places I use it around here are pretty flat because I'll take it to town and use it as my wheelbarrow to pick up stuff and it's great for that the only problem is when the back is full of stuff it's a little bit hard to drive because I have to like lean down to put my foot on the ground to push and where I stand and where I have to push is a big enough height difference that I have to bend and kind of get down and then my butt hits all the stuff in the back of my scooter so I kind of want to make a thing where I can just push a pedal and it'll keep me going which I think will be great oh yes Jamie did shave everything okay I do also want to make a rope swing yes into the water now a rope swing could put up in a way that it would be more concealed and less inviting than a big slide when we're using it obviously you could see it but then when we're not using it just pull it back and you know tie it to a tree or whatever and I should get on that so many things I can do I want to get my second and third floors done so I can put a trampoline in the third floor and there's going to be rope swings and stuff up there and one of the reasons I'm kind of focusing more on getting that done before an outside rope swing is because when it's a sunny day there's when it's raining you know I want to have a big indoor space for doing stuff Bioconcrete hmm what exactly is bioconcrete someone's asking what about bioconcrete what I is that something I'd consider trying yeah I totally consider trying that I need to know more about it I remember looking something up about bioconcrete at some point in the past but I don't even remember what it was jungle gym island yes oh man someone's talking about having chicken in the oven that sounds delicious okay so someone asked about the pedal thing I was talking about with my scooter asking if it's like a thing where you push on something and it would turn the rear wheel several times I don't even know if it needs to be I'm gonna push down on something the wheels are are pretty big it's not like little wheels it's like big scooter wheels like big fat ones I mean they're like this wide they're ATV wheels and if I could push down something you can get the thing to rotate once or even half a rotation and just yeah that would that would get it going pretty good bioconcrete is concrete that fixes itself hmm okay I'm gonna I've not met any I've not met Graham someone's asking me if I've met Graham something on an island near Bocas snow I don't know who that is huh I want to know about this bioconcrete that fixes itself I can look that up after but if anyone has any quick information they can barf out here like what's it made out of what do you make this bioconcrete out of that fixes itself that sounds great okay and I want to and go back to an earlier question for a moment um as some people have mentioned I've shaved my head in my face I don't have a good shaver thing who has recommendations of a good huh wig thing that's like good for shaving your face in your in your head doesn't even necessarily need to be the際 shave thing cause no one snuggling up to me Adding lime to concrete. Well, just adding lime is that oh Okay, someone asked about styro, styrocrete floating dock. Yeah, I want to do the one do one of those soon Yeah, that's one I definitely want to do I have plans for making a styrocrete floating dock which is just like a big block of styrocrete which floats and I'm thinking the way I would do it is I wouldn't make it rectangular I'd make it either like kind of oval shape or round-ish or maybe kind of squared, but like rounded So that once I've got the styrocrete block I can take rope and wrap it around real tight just to you know hold the whole thing together and then or maybe maybe not even necessarily rope maybe Like some kind of plastic mesh that has decent tensile strength Just to give it a lot of a lot of holding together power strength, whatever Okay, this fly is still in my face Anyway, then once I've got it wrapped with this stuff that's gonna hold it together really well then just spackle around the whole thing and put some Plastic mesh or something on the top and put that under tension and spackle that over and spackle the bottom Yeah, get the whole thing sealed up really good that way So that you know you can jump around on it You're not making holes and no fish are coming up under and pulling the styrofoam out and making a mess Like I want it to be totally sealed like that, but I think that will work really really well as long as As long as it's made in a way that it's not gonna break apart So that's why I would want to wrap it with something really tight And I was thinking also if I'm doing that I should I should embed some PVC pipes into it to make attachment points so, you know, I could put a rope through or you know some kind of sticks or whatever to attach it to wherever it's gonna go So it can be tied to another one Maybe put some tires in the way so they can bump against each other a little and you know It can be attached to the shore or wherever it's going But I definitely want to make some styrocrete docks Cheap and easy to fix raise shavers. Let's see You know, I have a wall trimmer like WHL and it hasn't worked well from the day I got it I don't know what I don't know what the problem is. I've adjusted it and I've used ones before so I know how to use it And I know how to you know do the adjustments and oil it and everything, but I don't know the one I got Has just never worked very well. Oh Moser Primette 1230 have not changed for 40 years or so is a hair trimmer that will work For the rest of your life, but it is not with the battery. I don't need a battery. I can plug it in Moser Primette Primette Hey, DeShayna, we need to remember that one. Oh I don't want to tell me as to email it to me when I could just write it down. Is there a pencil? Where's a pencil if I was at my house? I would know where to get a pencil But I don't know where a pencil is here Okay, bio-crunk concrete. I've never heard it called that but Cal-tight is a mineral That when there is a crack crystals grow into the crack and it goes back to being waterproof Hmm Cal-tight. All right Bio-concrete can be defined as the concrete prepared by addition of bacteria with the capacity of precipitation of calcium carbonate Which aids in sealing the cracks that forms in it, which okay? Self-healing Yeah, I want it so this Cal-tight stuff If someone has some good information about this Self-healing concrete Totally feel free to email me something about that. That would be that would be great information And my email address is the adventure builder movie at gmail.com It should be in the in the subject or in the comment the comments What's this in the thing down here if it's not in this video? Yeah, it'll be like in in my videos in general and That that email actually gets chest gets checked Cal-Site. Okay. Someone's telling me it's pronounced Cal-Site. Oh Hey, little baby. There's the baby who busted up the last Saying oh, she's she's running away going downstairs to hang out with her her brothers and sisters brother and sisters So no baby bums this week Can you help the baby But someone someone made a someone made a recommendation of a shaver thing Moser primate I'll have to look that up later Maybe they'll email it to me. So I won't forget look you're off on the side again. Like you don't like me again No, it's when I sit down just just have a fan blowing this way So my stinking this goes that way and then you'll be okay. Oh, I have nose filters nose filters Oh good. I'm gonna fix my secrets. Yeah, so I don't have to wear a mask. I just have filters Okay, here's a question for you if you go to town and There's a place that you go in where you need to wear a mask. Can you just like? Elastic your hair in front of your face. Yeah And then you can just go go around and be like I have a mask. Yeah, I would totally buy that I guess I can't do that anymore Why else would I keep it this long? Yeah, are you are you gonna cut your hair? I did I did two days. That's gotta be so hot right now I trimmed it like it should like a half an inch off it. Hmm. Good work. I trimmed like half an inch off mine, too Yeah, actually you did it yesterday. It was more like three Three inches. What's that long there? Cool two inches I Don't know What are you typing I'm typing the email address Oh, you're putting the email address in the in the subject of the the video right now. I know I'm actually just picking in the comments Okay Are there any comments I need to answer? I'm gonna look but I have to type this first. I'm sorry Okay there Okay, I put it in the comments Yeah, if anyone has good good shaver Recommendations that'd be great or really if you want to share anything I respond to yeah I mean naked pictures of your cat, you know, how Jamie can breastfeed. I Mean people are sharing naked pictures of the cats all the time and I'm always like oh my gosh How do I get away with that? Have you seen that that Sesame Street thing of Sam the eagle I think it's Sam the eagle where he's talking about the humans The humans are just walking around completely naked under their clothing. They don't have feathers or fur and it's disgusting. Oh Somebody was asking they were saying I know it was like 10 years ago But do you remember the tube shed you built in Vermont? Yeah, it's probably the banana building Like a path tube. Oh, I remember it. Yeah Yeah, that's that's it. That's awesome. I do. I'm not senile yet. I Even remember building it Yeah, so yeah insulated with the styrocoilers you got from a local store. Oh, it was amazing Yeah, it was really cool and then Boxes yeah, yeah styrofoam fish boxes. There was one store where the guy in the deli Was like, oh, thank god Someone is taking these these styrofoam boxes because they are just a mountain of garbage that one manager No, and he would you take them the lady? Well, that's what I'm saying There was one guy out of all the places I went there was one guy who would walk I had to bully them into giving me these stinky boxes. I had to wash them out. Yeah It's ridiculous like here. I'm trying to do a good thing It's the same thing when I started a collecting styrofoam for the styrocrate here and I'm going around town asking all these businesses and I actually I Started making a video the day I was going around I don't know if I ended up posting it or I might have erased it because it's like kind of depressing like Going around asking businesses That I knew had all this styrofoam garbage and I would go in there and my Spanish isn't great But it's not bad and I would say, you know, I'm doing this recycling project I'm trying to you know do something with all this garbage styrofoam because it ends up in the ocean You know, I have I've come up with a use for it. I can use a lot You know, can I have your styrofoam and man people would look at me like I was insane They'd be like, oh, no, we're not dealing with that. Oh, you get out of here Get out of here or they'd be like you want my styrofoam. No It's mine. You can't have it and then they would just throw in the garbage. Oh It's so ridiculous. They want to know what store. Did you get your fish boxes from? Shots and price chopper price. Yeah, so I was on price chopper mostly in New Hampshire. Yeah, the best one was What's that place? Lebanon. Yeah, Lebanon. Yeah, what's Lebanon, New Hampshire by Home Depot? No, well It was the the the shaw's Closest to Lowe's But the problem is okay, if you're looking, hey, there was a the roads like this Lowe's was here And then there was a shaw's there and there it was the dirty shots. Yeah There's two shaw's grocery stores that were like, I don't know Really close like across the street from each other like major streets like across the corners And one was the clean one. The other one was the dirty one And the dirty one was the one that had the cool dude who was like, yeah, man I'll save the fish box for you. I'll wash them out. I also got them from the other shaw's that was at exit 4 on I-89 in Vermont. Well, I mean this viewer is Local to the area and could see use for some if that store was still open. Dude super useful for a lot of things but yeah, go to the grocery stores and They may not give them to you peacefully but if you keep asking oh It's so frustrating trying to do trying to do good things in the world and just like everyone resists Yeah, and like oh people in people in the video are gonna relate to this or people watching a lot of you guys Like you go to the the junkyard and it's just full of garbage and you're like, can I have some and they're like No insurance insurance. No, you can't even buy it. You can't have it because no, it's like well come on like Like that's right up there with not being able to show a baby's bum Like our society is just Terrible. The person asking about the fish boxes wanted to say thank you for answering their question And they wished that they had met you before you left. Oh And they know exactly what you're talking about. Yeah. Yeah Does he know the dirty shots is still the dirty one? I don't know It was just like dustier. It wasn't like older because the new one across the street like I don't know more recently So yeah, yeah, it was just it was just older So somebody wanted to say cart mill one just says just wanted to say it's super cool that we can ask you guys Questions and thanks for making time for us. Also. Have you thought about making a small super sleek solar speed boat for ultra fast trips to town Okay, first Thank you for being here. I'm actually enjoying these lives so much more than dealing with like like trying to answer comments and videos This this works so much better. I think this is this is so much better Because I only have to answer a question once per week But then you know people gonna respond right away. It's just so much better than trying to type comments that anyway Okay, I do have the The zombie chopper and my little white boat. That's my fast boat for going to town now It's not as fast as going like somewhere in like a like a 40 horsepower dash powered boat. However my You know my fast boat will get to town in like two hours, maybe less I did just upgrade it I just fixed up some solar panel stuff and made it so I can aim the solar panels at the Sun It has no batteries. So I'm totally dependent on the Sun Well, I have the battery suitcase and I could put that in my you know my front seat But only if I'm not planning on getting a bunch of cargo Although with the with the solar panels being able to aim at the Sun Even if I'm getting you know a reasonably sunny day. It can be cloudy. It'll still work You know it goes pretty fast You haven't been in it since I since I upgraded it, but it is is pretty good Yeah, I think I could I think I can get to town in under two hours now, but I'm not totally sure I'll check today you could Oh today is super sunny. Yeah, I'd be flying look at those clouds. So yeah And I feel like I want to show them the outside for a second You just be careful. I'm attached to it right now with my wire here. Oh, you can just turn the thing Oh, yeah, that's really nice on there. It's a nice view, isn't it? Yeah, it's a pretty good view. You got a good view out of your house Man, I wish they would show the cloud definition a little bit better on this video, but that's fine. Yeah Because those clouds look way cooler. They do look way cooler in real life. Anyway, turn back to us because we're way prettier than that Yeah, check out these mountains But I do want to I'm gonna start taking my my white boat my my fast one The zombie chopper to town more often I took it once a few weeks ago when I didn't have a lot of cargo my last trip that I went a couple days ago I was getting cement So I took the my green boat the solar snailer which takes a lot more cargo like I can put a thousand pounds on that one It's fine, but I could not put a thousand pounds in my my fast boat That would be that is too much. I put like 600 pounds in it and it was You know, I did it, but It's not a not a great thing. Actually, it was probably more like 800 pounds It was wavy. So the boat was low enough that waves were kind of coming into the boat and had to keep bailing out So I don't like to put that much weight in it But if I'm just going to get groceries and you know little things like that I Like to take the little white boat because it's fast It's not little Bob Get it like he keeps going to the black area. Hey, look, we've already cleared two hours. Oh Jesus Jesus Jesus here apparently recently trimmed their hair with a trimmer to a half inch and then the plastic things slipped off in mid-strokes It's not a bug. It's a feature. That's great Yeah, then you got to start carving in your name and stuff like that waves. No, just your name Shave a strip right here right here so I can just cover it or have it uncovered You just carve hi, I'm stupid So somebody just carved my trimmer broke Do you like the solar panels that you have who makes them? Are they a good quality the ones? Okay, they're there are three that I have that are good We've had some experience with some crappy quality solar panels that just somewhere on my roof Yeah, there are two solar panels on your roof that are just dead weight, but at least they're shading your little bit But the ones that I have that have been good and reliable The glass solar panels. I have some sharp ones and some solar world ones solar world Yeah, and those have all been great. I've had no problems. None of them have broken or anything. They're all I mean I've had them for Since we got to Panama, I've got them pretty soon after we got here and they've been great they've been out in the sun the whole time and on my boats Well on my smaller boats I have some of the plastic flexible solar panels and those are made by Solbion and those have been amazing now the plastic ones They don't last as long as the glass ones I think they told me if it's in like if they're just out in the sun all the time It's like seven years before they start, you know, the plastic starts kind of Degrading so I keep them in the shade most of the time like I keep the I'll either keep them closed up Or I'll keep the boats parked under trees. So they should last a really long time. So far. They've they've been really good Somebody wants to know and I think the answer to this is yes, but are any of the locals interested in copying your building techniques? Well more Oh, yeah, some people have have copied my my dirt docks the wharf. Yeah, yeah a few people around here Yeah, and a few people have asked about my boats and about building them But mostly people ask if I'll sell them Yeah, and like if like if I'm making them and I'm selling them and I'm just like No It's not worth the the health hazard of using I don't want to I don't want to start like making fiberglass stuff all the time to sell it and just you know Getting sick and dying of cancer when I'm Well, I'm already a lot when I'm like 60 or whatever Apparently you Geo is near one of the few scrapyards in the country that still lets you walk around among the stuff It's great. They buy stuff there all the time. They sell it by the pound based on metal aluminum is dollar. Oh dollar Well, no wonder they'll let you walk around. That's ridiculous Joseph Blowmeister is here and he would like to know his tomaters. It's still with us Yeah, I haven't heard from tomatoes in a few minutes. Yeah, he's at the beginning. Yeah He got his adventure builder mug. Yeah, he did that's great Yeah, he was stoked about he told me about in a common. Oh my coffee chat this morning I'm supposed to make another adventure builder mug or something with this this design person responded about with the Something with the triangle lines in it. Yeah, so would it be feasible? Oh wait, I missed a question Well, I just realized it was do post it again with question in front of it. I promise I'm not avoiding questions I just might miss some of them or just put like a couple big question mark So it stands out but hey, you just cut me off the post it. All right. What is what is the question answer? Well, not about it Anyway What is your favorite local dish and do you guys eat out regularly? Okay, I've got this dish that I got it was at Totos, which is the store in town It's a dog bowl. It's a ceramic food. It's a ceramic dish It was meant to be a dog bowl, but you know, I was looking at the dishes and I was like What are these flimsy crappy like $8 plates? What the and then I got to this Ceramic dog bowls and I was like oh, it's like $2 and like I feel like I could drop this on the floor and it would just bounce So I have a really I need to get more of these. I have two of the really nice ceramic dog bowl bowls and I want to get more of those dishes Food well, I've been I've been definitely the empanadas. I made empanadas this morning, but the empanadas You're talking about empanadas. Oh, actually no this there is a new thing. Oh, there's a new thing. Yeah, there's a new thing So okay presuming presuming you're talking about food. We don't make ourselves that we buy Which doesn't happen much when I go to town Sometimes even when I when I go all the way to town and back. I don't even buy any food there I'll just bring food with me, but Usually I'll get something because you know, it's a long tiring trip of pedaling so I want to get some food and I've been sort of the best thing I've been getting is empanadas from this lady who's by the grocery store And she's right on the left side if you're looking at the store, right? Yeah. Oh, I totally got some from her Yeah That was her or not You know, they're a little bit greasy that there's a lot of flowers. It's not the greatest thing, but you know, it's still pretty good but at Three our mall, okay, you know Richard's place the one on the water Right at the checkout they have a little clear thing full of Little Chinese food treats. Oh, yes, they're like there was this like Like dumpling Whoa bun thing that I've had I had them when I was in Hong Kong and they were like one of my favorite things when I was there They're delicious and they had these other little wrapped up meaty tasty things So I got dim sum. Yeah, it was like, yeah, it was dim sum stuff So I noticed that we're just when I was leaving so I just got two things on the way out And it was like a 50 cent thing and an 80 cent thing So it's been like a dollar there and yeah now next time I go. I'm totally I'm gonna get like, oh, maybe I should Yeah, they were pretty good And the bun thing was steamed it wasn't yeah, it wasn't fried. Yeah, so it wasn't like all greasy or anything Because like, you know when I'm driving home and I'm doing all this pedaling even when I get the sun I still want to pedal and go and I'm using a lot of energy So I want to eat a lot. So it's nice to have something that's not greasy because I'm you know If I eat like eight empanadas in a row and they're all deep fried Yeah, you know, that's because oil is terrible for your body regardless of what kind of oil it is. Yeah I've actually at my house. I've been on the same gallon of oil for like months. I don't know how many months It wasn't even it was like half a gallon maybe But yeah, I've hardly been using any oil for cooking So somebody would like to know if you would consider building a modular boat design and imagine a like a power plant that could be swapped Like just in terms of like just a motor and like power plant like are we talking like the whole the whole energy system? Or like like I can take my motor off and put it on a different boat Maybe Would it be feasible to make something like a floating trailer to pull with the zombie chopper? Well, it's kind of Towing something with a boat is a lot worse than it sounds like it's gonna be because You know the thing you're towing ends up turning your boat because it's pulling on the back so it's it's kind of hard to maneuver with with something you're towing and I actually Experiences recently when I I pulled the shark slicer, which is my biggest boat from here Over to my island, which is not very far and I was using a smaller boat that was a pedal boat and I had a motor and I ended up But first I was towing it, but it was you know, just a bigger boat. It wouldn't let me steer It was just steering me wherever it wanted to go And even with the slightest breeze it just it just pulled me around So then I got beside it and that was a little better Except it had barnacles on the bottom So it was dragging so much on one side even with the motor cranked all the way to the other side I could barely turn to the left So I ended up getting behind it and pushing it which works the best, but it's you know The problem with that is you're you know hitting the fiberglass up against the fiberglass It was a short enough distance and the weather was calm that I just did it But I wouldn't want to do that for a long distance now in terms of I Mean there. I'm sure there's a way to make a a tow boat situation That would work better Without being a huge pain in the butt You can use the tow ropes to steer your boat if you pull on oh, I don't know It's just it's just a lot easier to deal with not towing something. Yeah Sounds like it Okay, somebody wants to know if you've heard of tropics surfboards in focus and that apparently they produce tons of graded styrofoam waste daily Is it stara foam they're actually Well, you can use styrofoam if you use an epoxy like polyester resin will melt the styrofoam, but epoxy won't Look into what are they called tropics surfboards tropics surfboards all next time I'm there I'll see if I can find them and then the everlanders said would it work to have a solar trailer for the boat for the times You want speed solar panel efficiency as much higher when they're cooler Was that two different questions? No, it was all one. Hold on. Let me see Where is it? Oh Would it work oops would I work to have a solar trailer for the boat for the times you want speed period Oh, like like just dragging some solar panels. Yeah. Oh, that is those two the Second part is a comment. Yeah. So, yeah, solar panels are more efficient when they're cooler The problem is you kind of need them out in the sun Damn solar panels won't work in the shade where it's nice and cool. What's your problem? So whatever I whenever I build a solar panel thing on a boat I try to have nothing under the solar panel So at least when can go by on the top and the bottom and keeping as cool as they can be But yeah in terms of a dragging a solar panel trailer again, it just comes back to You know dragging something with the boat when you get in any kind of rough weather. It's It's just it can be a real disaster like towing something it really makes maneuverability Go then I started that sentence with no way to finish it Can you do a review of things you've built to see how durable things turned out or didn't work Etc like example stainless steel wheelbarrow shovels close. What would you do different? I should do a video I was actually thinking about that because Yeah, well, it's like I keep mentioning this stainless steel wheelbarrow like that's like the first thing I mentioned every time I talk about You know products that last a long time because that stainless steel wheelbarrow is incredible I took it to town with me the other day and Like every time I go, you know to Richard's hardware store He's always like yeah, love that wheelbarrow And you know they'll come by and push on the front wheel, which is like an 800 pound capacity Like a like a ride-on lawnmower wheel. Yeah, everyone loves that wheelbarrow. Yeah, I've it's been amazing like I make sure That I always load it or if someone is putting there a bag of cement I'm always like don't drop it in there because I don't want to bend it as long as I take care of it It's gonna last, you know like forever But yeah, the wheelbarrow has been amazing and I should go through a whole bunch of things that have been really good So many would like to know I has a question about the concrete water tank. How's the water quail? What is the water quality like after all these months of usage was any cleaning required? I haven't cleaned mine yet and it's been there for I built it before my house so back in it's been like a year and a half and The water is coming out clear. I drink from it once in a while I do filter most of it because I have like a filter in my kitchen and I pour it in there's a video about that but Yeah, I still drink from it every now and then to just kind of check and Still tastes good Somebody else wants to know if there's a hospital nearby near our islands And do you have any agreement with neighbors to help you get to a hospital faster in case of a bad trauma injury? We don't really have agreements, but I think there's kind of like unwritten agreements like like we could get a ride Yeah, town like to a hospital if we really needed one and we won't have to pay for it, but you know, yeah But the nearest hospitals like Yeah, so like 16 miles away 17 miles. Oh, it's It's past. Yeah. Yeah, maybe it's maybe it's 18 miles. Yeah, we've driven there It took like three hours to get there three or four hours Or anything. Yeah somebody said They were commenting again about the modular boat and Somebody was under the understanding that that was your original idea was to make a modular Type but like or a boat that fit into another boat or something. Oh, I don't remember I don't probably talked about that at some point. Yeah, I don't know So I'm not sure about that either somebody wants to know Oh, Joseph flowmeister wants to know if DeShane is planning on making a video of my three-day birthday adventure Your three-day birth adventure birthday. Oh birthday adventure. I was like the birth adventure. That was like years ago And that was like six days. Yeah. Yeah. Did you make a video of your birthday? Not yet. No Do you have video of your birthday? Oh, yeah, lots of footage. So are you gonna put that together? Well, apparently DeShane is gonna make a video of her birthday. Yeah, Joseph I missed you in my morning coffee chat this morning. I answered that question Oh, your morning coffee chat Okay, so somebody else asked something I'm trying to be clear the solar trailer would just be pool noodles on the edge of Flexible panels that would supply power. Oh, wow draft. I would be real nervous about that. That would get swallowed up by waves Yeah, yeah, I'd be cool noodles. They would get shredded man solar panels either and like getting into the connections and all like like I would Definitely want the solar panels up high enough that they're not you're not in danger of getting waves Hope for them. Yeah So this person also followed up with the information about tropic surfboards and said that Courtney Parks is the founder and they were just featured On a sailing parley revival and I probably I probably don't want anything to do with this Then well, that sounds a little too fancy and cool for me epoxy on their boards. Yeah, most people do so maybe it would be Yeah, I'll go check them out. Okay, it does sound very fancy though Yeah, that's just one future road Gerald Sun says that my old house has a cistern where we caught Brainwater and filtered it for use in the house. I would check it once a year and clean it if needed just to keep down growth Yeah, I wonder how often do you actually clean it? See we checked it once a year Do you check it and clean it every last Gerald Sutton? Well, I'm saying it right now. You think you can hear me? Yeah, I haven't cleaned mine. Although one thing with mine is the water for my Water tank comes off the roof and my house is kind of the tallest thing right there So there's not much up there like a few leaves blow on it now and then there's not much that would get up there And then the leaves wouldn't fit down the tube. They kind of fall off. So I'm thinking that every other year Okay, so I'm thinking the tank should be pretty clear I've looked in it a few times. There's no like it's not filling up with algae or anything like that Apparently my coffee chat is too early for Joseph. Oh, what time is your coffee chat? It's at eight and apparently 7 a.m. Is too early for him Yeah, I was at the seven Dude, I wake up at like three in the morning. Actually last night I woke up at midnight and Couldn't go back to sleep It's because I went to sleep at 7 30 because the kids and I had moving night a little bit earlier And we only watched an episode of Firefly, which is like 40 minutes and then after it we were just like all fell asleep And when I fall asleep at like 7 30, I'll wake up at midnight be like, well, I'm awake now And I started working on my video game a little bit. I'm making a new video game. It's a two-player video game Rolfi would like to know how full is the water tank Right now. It's probably like half full. How much water can your water tank hold? About 600 gallons. It's about the same size as yours. Okay. Yeah, I think mine might be slightly smaller Yeah, yeah, so what are some of the things you think might get into your water tank ants? But they got ants got flooded out a little while ago Yeah, you know, I've noticed is the the dome water tank Even though I'm gonna go out there and there's all those little chagrants Running out of the tank because it's gotten full, you know, all of a sudden and mine was when it rained really hard a few weeks ago There were ants kind of around the lid like living under the edge and every once in a while I'd smush them But they had to just stay there But then when it rained really hard like water was just pouring out of there And I guess they haven't been back since apparently for Matt's awesome stuff. Noon is a good starting time for him So, well, that's good. Wait, what was the other thing about the water tank, right? Yeah, what was the question? Well, I want to wrap this up in the next seven minutes because it's lunchtime, but oh, yeah So he just wants to know how full is the water tank and how much? Oh, yeah, right So he's pretty much answered that yeah, and I do want to have a backup water tank on my island Yeah, cuz right now. I only have one water tank. We have an option for a second one Well, what you have the option for second one in the house right now I have the option for a million Anyway, yeah, yeah, maybe I don't know Anyway, I want to just have one water tank if I run out of water then You know out of water, but I like to have a backup tank just in case I've never run out of water I Don't know what I'm gonna make my second water tank If it's gonna be a plastic one or a concrete one, I prefer the concrete ones because it's not plastic Somebody apparently Matt just starts with interesting information about bees But they only live like two to three weeks and that the bees that you see collecting pollen are the oldest and most Experience and it's the last day or two of their lives. Whoa. No way So if I smush him, it's not a big deal. Yeah, I don't smush him anyway Yeah, but yeah, anyway, and apparently Rolfie says that it's okay to share water with ants because they don't drink much I Like to share soapy water with ants. Yeah, me too Yeah Anyway, um, all right. Well, I think I mean, I don't know. What do you got? I don't I don't think anyone could take any more of this. I mean, it's been like barely take we're coming up on two and a half hours I'm like I'm ready to eat and you're like touching me Sweating and the air stopped circulating. Oh, yeah, what happened to the wind? All right, one more questions and then let's take off. Okay. So what do we have for lunch anyway? That's the question right beans and rice. I've got yeah, like black beans and rice what I have I don't know what you're having. I have empanadas at my house. The kids did not eat them all You didn't bring any over. I did you know I did not I I think I police cook you do on that one Yeah The chili was actually really good last night. Oh good. It didn't need salt or anything. Oh good. Yeah Wait, you didn't salt something. No. Wow Dishana likes more salt on her food than me. Well, I'm breastfeeding. Oh, well, yeah I have to eat all the time and like salt everything. Oh, yeah Yeah, like liquid is just coming out of my body constantly. Yeah, me too. I'm peeing right now Sorry about your floor. Okay, so let's go. All right. Let's go up. Let's go have lunch I think we're having rice and beans. Okay. Bye. Okay. Bye. Can I push the button? Push the button. I'm pushing the button. That's it. I'm pushing it. I'm pushing the button Oh, now I've pushed that. I've pushed another button. Are you sure you want to stop streaming?
