 right now. Dude, my camera is, there's moisture inside the camera. I can't wipe it off. There's like nothing I can do. Well, maybe that works out okay. So anyone who's here, my camera is super fogged up right now and I can't see it. But I think that's okay because I mostly just wanted to come on and say I'm not really gonna do a long thing today because it's been super cloudy, electricity's low and the sun is out right now and that means I can do some stuff. Good morning, Reed Cook. Can you see me through this haze of fog? You know when your camera thing has moisture inside it? There's fog in there. I can't get rid of it. Sorry. Yeah. So I wasn't gonna do a very long thing today. But let me just talk about one thing real quick. Yes, Thomas D, I know you can see me but it looks like I'm through a haze. I'm in another dimension. Anyway, so one thing I was gonna talk about today was is that you know there's all this those Christmas stuff going on and a lot of people feel obligated to have to to buy a certain dollar amount of stuff for all all their people. And what usually happens during this is people go to the store and they have certain dollar amounts for everyone and they just buy a bunch of junk that nobody even really wants or needs and then you give it to the person and they're like oh well thanks you thought of me and then it all ends up in the garbage. So you know what I do is I just don't really do presents and I think it would be great if everyone could feel not obligated to buy junk. Obviously if you want to get someone something you have something in mind. Yeah, I do that obviously but don't just go around buying a bunch of stuff that you know is going to end up in the garbage like three weeks later or a month later or whatever. So yeah and if anyone if anyone gets upset at you about that just tell them tell them Jamie said that and it's all my fault. And it's also all my fault that my that my camera is all foggy right now. So I'm going to ask you guys a question. Does anyone out here know how to fix moisture inside your camera like on the inside of the lens that I that I can't get to? Do I have to take my thing and put it in a bag with rice for a while or maybe I just have to turn it on more often and like like get it hot enough that it evaporates the moisture? I don't know I guess it's just been been really really rainy and you know humid the last the last I don't know month really although this hasn't happened this bad before but I haven't turned my my tablet on in a few days so that's probably what it is because when you turn it on it will heat up and should get rid of some of the moisture but yeah. All right hello from Glasgow Scotland. I'm looking at you through the Glasgow fog today just because my camera is foggy. So Thomas thinks I should stick the stick the tablet in a in a bag full of rice and you know what it's actually starting to the fog is starting to kind of evaporate a little not evaporate but go away a little bit probably from the heat of this being being turned on so I don't know maybe maybe it'll be all right in a in a few minutes in the in the meantime oh yeah I can totally I can totally see myself more oh and I can see my lens there yeah I can actually see the lens now all right maybe maybe it's going to be all right uh I I would have actually turned this on before the uh before I was doing this live thing which I usually do but you know there's a lot of stuff going on today as there often is and then I was like oh Dashena is over here with her boat she wants me to do something on it I was like oh before I go check on your boat let me just check the time and I'm like 11 05 I'm late for my thing so uh yeah all right it looks like my camera's defogging itself so I think it should be fine bake it with electric heat gas heat partly combustion all right it'll make it'll make water well I think the electric heat of itself is actually clearing up the lens so yeah I think it's fine whoa I can actually see my windows now that's great of course I'm still back lit which is I was I was gonna try to set something up right here so that I wouldn't see see how much better the lighting is oh if I just block out those let's let's go to a different spot all right we're gonna go we're gonna go somewhere else give me 30 seconds hold on okay let's see if let's see if this is any better oh that's that is that is significantly better so I guess at some point I just need to set up some kind of screen behind me or something hold on now I'm just getting light from this way okay so uh yeah adventure builder film set in down yeah maybe maybe I should do that this week have some kind of well you know what the stupid thing is I have a string going across right up there where I where I have a movie screen that I pull across and we watch movies on a projector I can just hang a dark sheet on that and make sure I'm in front of that why don't you see that yeah I'll do I'll try to make sure I do that for next week I was kind of hoping to do that this morning but I didn't sleep that well last night because I had a headache all right let me let me just tell you tell you to deal with that although first I have to show you what I'm what I'm leaning against this is this is amazing this is like the best thing so it's just a bunch of castor wheels screwed onto a piece of wood and I showed this at some point in one of my videos but it's it's for when you're you know doing a lot of concrete lift in and you know just just doing a lot of stuff where your back gets sore or whatever then you lean against it and you go like this oh oh oh yeah oh man you just rub over now oh oh it's like a it's like a agonizingly painful amazing back massage oh oh yeah oh man that's that's good stuff so anyway I had a headache when I went to sleep last night because what I was talking about earlier with the Christmas presents thing I posted something about that on Facebook yesterday or the day before now I'm not proud of having Facebook I don't want to advertise them I don't think Facebook's great or anything they need to settle down on the whole censorship anyway I have Facebook because there are a bunch of local classified groups like it's basically the the Craigslist of here so that's why I have Facebook anyway I just said something about the whole Christmas presents thing and not not feeling obligated to buy garbage on there and you know all my peeps were like yeah man totally agree with you yeah we do this instead of the whole Christmas presents thing and you know yeah and then one of my family members chimes in someone I haven't talked to in like 10 years and it's like oh wow let me educate you because you don't know what you're talking about presents presents presents money money money that's the important stuff and I'm just like like if anyone else says that I'm just like you well okay you're an idiot good luck with that bye but it's like a family member that I care about I don't want to say things that are going to make them feel bad right so I'm like I don't know how to I don't know how to I don't know how to answer this so I'm trying to do very politely thread this impossible needle of like I'm going to express my opinion but also try not to be overly offensive which is impossible because our ideologies do not overlap and so I was trying to be really nice and I ended up you know and he's just like oh Jamie you don't know what you're talking about you know the usual thing that I grew up with all my life because just just to give you an idea about my family like I am totally different I am definitely the black sheep of my family like you know when the government does horrible things and says hey everybody we're going to do something terrible and it's it's for your own good and then like like 90% of the people or some significant percentage of the people are like oh yay thanks thanks government for for taking away our freedoms and and protecting us oh we like that thank you so much for making life so much more difficult for us because we understand that it's all for our own good and if you weren't taking care of us things would be much much worse than the horrible things you're doing to us right now you know my family's all totally on board with that stuff and I am just like no no no so you know they're all going this way I am going totally the other way which is one of the reasons that it was very easy for me to move like a significant distance away from where all my family lives yeah you know I don't really feel like I was losing stuff but anyway this family members is saying this stuff here Jamie let me educate you because you're an idiot and you don't know what you're talking about and the whole family agrees and well I didn't say that but this is this is like the crap that's always behind all this stuff and uh yeah I'm just trying to be polite but it's like it's like a losing battle there's no there's no correct there's no no reasonable thing I can say the only thing I can say that's not going to cause a problem is oh you're right I've been wrong all these years I don't know what I was thinking with my whole set of virtues and well thought out morality that that governs my behaviors and helps me stay on a path that gets me a life that I'm actually feeling like I like I'm doing something worthwhile and that's all stupid and wrong you're right you know and so I so I went to sleep with a headache and then this morning I woke up and I was like you know this is 1000% unfair no it is 1 million percent unfair because I am I am I am put at a significant what's the word I guess disadvantage in this situation where it's like because I'm not agreeing and this isn't only a family thing like this is something I've dealt with with people all my life because I think differently but it's always different with family because you care about them and you don't want to make them feel bad and it's like they freaking use that against you not even on purpose they're not even it's not even like they're like I'm going to be evil to you it's just like well I think something different and we all think something different so we're going to try to save you with our better knowledge and understanding regardless of the fact that I'm like a thousand times smarter than all of them put together but of course that's just my opinion because I base my own judgments on my own morality and my own values they base their judgments on their values right anyway it's totally a horribly unfair thing and I'm sitting here just getting stressed out right so this morning I woke up and I I didn't want to say anything too harsh because I definitely had some harsh responses I could have given like right away but I was like no no no let me hold off on that I gotta I gotta think about this you know someone I haven't talked to in like 10 years like I don't I don't really interact with my family how do I want to deal with this but this morning I realized no I just have to do what I always do just here's the truth so I went on there and I was like okay well here's the actual truth that I have not said to you for however many years and here it is and it's not going to make you happy and um I'm sorry about that you know I love you and I care about you but like I'm I'm gonna be the person I am you be the person you are as much as you judge me harshly I can judge you like way harsher uh so there's there's there's no there's no real point in in the entire thing so don't come barking up this tree unless you want the truth more of the truth and um yeah from now on I'm just gonna go with that which is what I would I always do with people you know just just tell the truth even if I even if it hurts so yeah I was feeling much better this morning but I didn't sleep well last night so I got up at like nine the shana radios me on the walkie-talkie and it's like nine something and she's like hey Jamie and I'm like ah I'm still in bed I'm like oh what's going on what time is it and she's like it's nine and I'm like what nine like I get up at I get up with the sun usually anyway so it was already nine and I like how starts do and then then these guys all came over you know my my pile of kids and the shana because she wants me to fix fix something on her boat and uh and then by the time you know they got here and you know it kind of put some stuff away that you know showed up yesterday because the shana went to town yesterday and you know brought a bunch of stuff and um you know I had to put away a bunch of food and stuff anyway by the time I actually said okay the shana let me let me go check on your boat but let me check the time first by that time it was already like 11 or five so that's why I was five minutes late and now my my camera is all defogged and that's very exciting I guess we can proceed as normal hey little baby do you want to come over and give me a hug you want to see this I got this little baby here thank you she's not not little she's built like a freaking brick are you solid are you a solid baby all right let's let's see what you guys well I shouldn't do it this is fun hands yeah my hands still totally fine um so you know a few weeks ago I had cut on my hand and it was swollen here but it was just healing and the only residual thing is there's a little bit of like scar tissue on my knuckle there like it's kind of sore but I know it's it's just going away like it's getting back to normal so everything's fine with that all right let's let's see where where are we let's scroll up to the top of the comments good morning Jamie yes okay put it put it in a bag with rice so it looks like we got the camera fog situation taken care of here do you want to do you want to get up because I'm like leaning on your your head yeah go go play and have some Lego and stuff let's see it's getting way better yeah the fog went away that'd be a nice rainy day project oh yeah rainy day project yeah so when I next rainy day I'll just totally set up a screen for this let me tip this back a little bit yeah right there let's see did you start your new job yet well the okay the job I was talking about was fixing DeShana's roof because you know one of her family I was like here here's some money can you get your roof fixed and then she's just like can I just pay you to do it Jamie he's like you're gonna do a better job than anyone else and it's gonna be cheaper frankly now it's just like fine I'm not gonna make her pay me but anyway um you know I I I fixed her roof climbed up on a ladder and put a whole bunch of mesh around the roof as I was smearing mortar on it so it should be much more leak resistant so I'm still working on my roof with the dragon scales you know it's been raining so much I obviously can't do anything with concrete cement stuff in the rain so it's just you know on hold I just work on it whenever there's there's a appropriate appropriately cloudy but not rainy day and it's it's going fine there there aren't many leaks so it's not like an urgent thing I'll just get it done whatever okay so that was my new job and that only took a few days it's it's done now well I mean there's a little bit left to do but whatever on your pedal boat project have you considered well this is always a funny question because whenever I I I realize that it's not literally the question have you considered they're just bringing it up but it's always funny when someone who who just shows up and watches something asks if I've considered something when I've been what I've been working on it for like and thinking about it for months but I know you don't really mean have I considered you just bring up the topic have you considered adding a gear or belt pulley to the paddle area for future electric motor attachment I have considered that and I've decided that I don't want to do that because if I have a motor on the paddle wheels if at some point there's a problem and like a foot gets stuck in the pedals or something and the motor is still cranking it that that could cause an injury although that's not really enough of a reason to get me to not do that because you know safety whatever the other reason is I if I'm going to have a motor system and a human power system I like them to be two totally separate power things two totally different separate systems because say I have a you know pedal power and motor power on the paddle wheel if the paddle wheel breaks they're both down but if like on my boat that I have right now I should probably do a video of my my boat that I've been driving because you know I've done a lot of upgrades and changes and I haven't really gone over it in a while and yeah I should I should remember to do that where's my where's my pad of paper oh it's under my tablet wait hey can somebody pass me a pencil or crayon thanks bells I have pencils crayons over here what was I talking about wait what was the question oh no I got distracted oh yeah so on my boat I have right now I have the pedal power and then I have a separate electric motor thing and they're totally separate so if one breaks it doesn't affect the other so if my motor breaks I'm not I'm not just stuck somewhere I can still drive home let me see I'm gonna I'm gonna write down on the back of this guy hey let's shake on it my kids think that picture is pretty funny okay um solar snailer video I should make a video about that no one actually asked but I feel like I should um so yeah I like to have completely separated systems so that if anyone breaks it doesn't affect the others and I don't end up stuck somewhere because that's that would be the worst if I was like you know 10 miles from home and I'm just dead in the water maybe with a paddle take forever to get back so let's see nice way to put it I'm not sure what you're talking about I think you're talking about presence giving presence is just is just good culture if you don't want them then replace it with something better well you can you can choose whatever you want to do for the holidays you don't have to do okay the whole presence thing I don't think really has anything to do with with the I guess this spirit of holidays or any of that like the whole presence thing is because people are making money off selling mountains of presence like it's not it's not because it makes people's lives better like what happens what happens after Christmas people often have these piles of junk that kind of ends up going on the garbage and then all this wrapping paper this is it makes a huge amount of garbage every Christmas that's totally unnecessary doesn't make anyone's life better unless you kind of decide it does if you decide that oh we need all this junk to be happy then it does but you can just as easily decide man we don't need all the junk we can just hang out with my peeps and you know do whatever we think we should do and you know be be independent minded people and think for ourselves and and not just do what the the tv and the radio and the internet tell you to do which is buy buy buy buy buy buy buy more stuff buy more stuff you gotta have if you don't spend this many dollars on a person it means you don't love them it's like that doesn't make any sense at all and uh you know in my in my old life when i lived in north america i started this kind of goes back to my family but you know i started just giving presents that were things i made or yeah basically just just things i made and i got a lot of i got a lot of shaming for that like oh you didn't even buy anything you just you just gave us this garbage and you know it was just i mean by the time that was happening i had already pretty much decided i wasn't interested in the whole commercial nonsense things i didn't really care but it was still disappointing it's just like come on family people stop just just get off that just just stop it so uh that was another reason it made it very easy for me to move to central america you know what am i leaving behind whatever so i don't i don't really do any of that stuff with my kids hey bellatrix are you miserable no are you are you miserable because you don't have enough presents you need me to take you to the store and buy you more treats and she's like what are you talking about when we wake up okay you know that the most valuable thing in terms of parents and kids the most valuable things uh apparently my two-year-old is a superhero screen right now anyway the most valuable thing you can do for your kids as a parent is give them your time and often i had this conversation with my family when i was a little kid and i don't think any of them heard it but you know when you when you buy things you're you're spending your time to to buy things for your kids but they would they would usually rather have that time than the than the thing that it took you time to go make the money to buy to give them like give your kids time give your kids your time uh it's much more valuable than than any present now i'm not saying you can't ever give someone something yeah give some give people stuff that's that's useful valuable and you know it makes sense just don't feel obligated to to go to the store and just buy all this crap because you know you're gonna you're gonna be looked down upon because you didn't get the right number of presents so you just i just gotta get them anything just you buy them some garbage you know they don't care about you know skip that whole thing it's it's not it's not of any value so anyway yeah for for anyone who's gonna ask for the holidays i just hang out with my kids and you know sometimes well usually they'll they'll decorate in some way like they'll get a cardboard box and tear it apart and start cutting it into decorations and and like there's always a happy birthday sign up on birthdays and then you know there's there's stuff but we don't have to go out and like spend a bunch of money they have fun just like doing stuff am i making that up you guys all right they're they're they're telling me i'm i'm telling the truth so i think my kids are are cool um individualists don't like family pressure yeah totally man oh this this this goes back to the sigma male thing doesn't it someone a few weeks ago was saying oh jayme you're a sigma male so then i i looked up on the internet a little bit of what what a sigma male is and yeah that's it's that's pretty much although the way i think about it is the description they that they give on the internet for what a sigma male is i think that's that's actually the alpha males like like the real leaders except the way our screwed up society works right now the alpha males are like the most pushy betas you know the most pushy followers who just want to have the the power and they don't really have any leadership skills or any any kind of vision they're just like they just push their way to the top like that's what we consider to be the the alpha males the leaders today and that's oh such it's such a mess but anyway yeah individualists don't like pressures trying to tell them to do stupid things hey jayme what is the idea behind that methane gas digest you talked about earlier will you use the gas well yeah probably at some point so the basic idea here and these are these are something that are used in a lot of parts of the world you know not industrial parts of the world where you're supposed to buy everything all the time this is in places where people have to be more self-sufficient like like parts of china and india where where people don't have a lot of money and you know they're not they don't have they don't have consumer buying power and you know disposable income or they're they're taking care of themselves more they build these things where uh all your all your you know poop and food scraps and pee and everything like all the all the what's it all the plumbing waste goes into this big tank and in that tank it it digests itself you know kind of like it does in your stomach it just you know there's bacteria in there and as all this stuff decomposes it makes methane and then if you stick a tube on the top of this this big tank you can get the methane out and then you can use it for for cooking or you know heating whatever you can burn it you know use it for things and then you know if you if you take this big tank and have not an over but like a tube coming out so that as the gas pressure up here builds up it pushes the sludge down and it has somewhere else to go into another tank then that tank ends up at a higher level and kind of all right get out of here and then keeps pressure on it you know you can keep gas pressure on it and you can you can use this thing as you know as source of of methane and people use them to cook and stuff like that and supposedly it works pretty well and i've built one it's outside it's full of stuff it's probably producing methane and it has been for quite a while i just haven't connected a tube to it to to use it or you know test that it actually is working which i will do at some point um but i don't know i i guess it just hasn't been a priority partly because i cook with a wood fire and whenever i cook with a wood fire like i have a you know a stainless steel insulated tube you know rocket stove thing so it cooks the cooks burns the wood pretty efficiently but still i'll put a little bit of wet wood in it so that it makes a bit of smoke because the smoke keeps the bugs away so anytime i'm cooking the bugs go away so i can cook outside and have a little bit of smoke going there's no bugs which is great and sometimes of the year this is irrelevant because there's like no bugs other times of the year like right now when it's been raining for like a month straight i mean not a month straight but it's been very rainy for the last month you know the bugs are kind of crappy so it's really nice to have a bit of that wood smoke going whenever i go outside so if i use the methane there will be no smoke although i guess if i set up the methane thing correctly i could put a little piece of wet wood beside it that will get heated up and smoke a little too whatever have you started a proper compost pile well out in front of my house i have these three raised beds hey hey you guys if you're gonna start yelling hold on i gotta be a dad for a minute you guys go go play with the lego on the mat right there there's all kinds of lego right there they're playing with lego like right here and they started yelling at each other so wait what was the question oh yeah um have i started a proper compost pile so i have three raised beds right in front of my house that are full of you know leaves and grass and you know all that stuff and wood you know rotting wood and stuff and then with some dirt mixed in and some dirt on top and i've planted a bunch of stuff on those so those are my those are my three main compost piles well there's one more but those are those are those three and in one of them potatoes are actually growing pretty well and in another one there's a papaya tree that started growing and i have a bunch of pepper plants this is the pepper plant one that and the pepper plants are growing very slowly i think they i think that the compost needs to decompose more for the pepper plants to to work with it but for some reason the papaya tree is just like yeah this is good enough for me um so that's my so i have those three compost things and then i have this thing called a banana circle which is basically uh i don't know it's like eight or ten feet across you dig a big like six foot wide like two foot wide hole in the middle that's i don't know half a meter or a meter deep not even a meter like i only dig mine like half a meter deep and i use all that dirt in the middle to make a mound around the outside so it's like a doughnut and then banana trees are planted in there and then all kinds of food scraps and stuff go in the middle and it gets pretty soggy in there and everything's decomposing and gross and stuff and the banana trees their roots suck the nutrients from there and that that works really well we get a lot of uh the banana trees grow very well in that situation so i have those compost but lately i've been thinking about um going up to the top of my hill here i call it the top of the mountain i mean it's not it's like two stories tall but it's my mountain so i go to the top of the mountain probably because i used to live on a mountain like an actual mountain and the top of the mountain was right behind my house so i'm used to saying that but anyway this is the top of the mountain right here i'm thinking of going up to the top of the mountain and you know uh machetting a bunch of the grass you know mowing the lawn which i need to do because it's been growing a lot i haven't done it in a while and just taking all that grass and piling it up and making a compost pile and you know i've i've mentioned that there's a guy here who's been here for a few months uh he watched my youtube videos and he was like you know send me a message well i actually talked to disheina for a while first and then and then to me disheina kind of screams some of the people which is nice anyway he ended up coming moving here and he's staying on one of my pieces of property while he's like you know looking for his own land and he's doing all this composting over there and he's done a bunch of research and he says he's getting good results so i need to go over and look at exactly what he's doing and then maybe get him to come over and like help me figure out like what's what's the good thing to do this is the cool thing about cool neighbors you know i'm always talking about like i want to have this this amazing adventure builder community where you know it's not a commune where anyone is obligated to do anything for anyone but you know just having cool neighbors so like a situation like this where i'm like i want to compost and make make good soil on my ground and i could you know do a bunch of trial and error and figure it out or i can go to my neighbor who's already done this all this trial and error and figured out a bunch of stuff and i can get him to come look and be like oh yeah here's what you do and here's what i learned and here's you know so anyway that guy's doing really well he seems really happy and he's yeah it's just it's funny when he when he got here he had this kind of look on his face of stress and i'm sure partly it was you know the traveling and stuff but it was also that look that look in your eyes that i know from having seen it in my own eyes of just like my life is going the wrong way and i'm not happy about it and yeah since he's been here he's just been lighting up more and more and i i see him he's just like and i'm like how's everything going it's like oh it's it's amazing you know i've got all these struggles and things i'm doing and i'm busy all the time and i'm working hard pretty just incredible i love this it's amazing you know and uh yeah he's he's doing really well in case anyone was wondering so i probably can't answer every comment that long or i'm never going to get through these i love your boat videos and the town trips you know what i did not realize that people like those videos as much as they did i thought they were i thought you know i've done a few trips on the boat you know talking to the camera while i'm on the boat and showing on the boat and driving to town and stuff so those are kind of done but then people started saying hey man where's the boat trips we want more boat trips so apparently people like those more than i realized and then i realized oh boat trips to me have become just a passe like a normal thing not passe but like just a normal thing but not everyone that drives in a boat all the time they're like stuck in traffic driving a car so of course it's like it's like a novel thing to people who are like don't don't have boats so yeah i didn't i didn't realize so thanks for letting me know what's under the big cross grave or treasure oh could there be treasure under there i was okay he's talking about there's this concrete cross up on the top of my mountain up here and you know you can see it in a few of the videos here and there i don't know what's under it um it's not like super fancy or anything and it doesn't say anything so my first thought was maybe someone buried their dog here or something but then i was like i don't know maybe someone's relative died and they're just like here it is or the guy who used to own this island is pretty superstitious and he's concerned about you know ghosts and phantoms maybe he put that up there to keep you know bad spirits away which is you know i've talked with several people about this who who put crosses like in various places around the property to keep bad spirits away like if someone has a howler which most of the houses around here are on the water because it's cooler and anyway it doesn't matter people put their houses on the water in stilts right next to the shore and then they'll have a little walkway to shore and often there'll be a cross right at the at the entrance to the the walkway to the house and you know the the theory is that if there are bad spirits on the land they won't pass the cross to get through to your house and you know boom um so it might just be that but now you're asking if it's treasure maybe i need to dig it up but i don't want to find some like old dead skeleton of someone so maybe i'll just leave it i don't know yeah i don't know what's under there let's see snow plow just went by please show outside before you go all right let's let's look at outside um where can we look let's let's go look at the front door yeah sorry this is probably gonna get pixely for a second while i'm walking all right let's switch the camera around there is my front door which you know it's not it's never cold here you know you know that because i have cracks in my door that i don't bother fixing but oh so nice i need to cut the grass down here and there's the sky i have a little bit of blue it's been pretty cloudy lately but there's a bit of blue up there oh and here are the i can barely see this because it's hard to see the screen in the sun so this is one of my raised beds here's another one and then back here is another one and right over there is that papaya tree um so those are compost and then right over here is my banana circle and i pretty much just have bananas on the one side but i'm starting to get them on this this other side too but then whenever i get bananas off a tree i'll cut up the banana tree and throw it in the middle there and you know there's some egg shells and food scraps basically any food scraps go in one of these piles they just throw them all down and it compost and there are no bananas on these trees right now but they these two are probably getting pretty close to making bananas oh and over here this is my main source of coconuts right here oh look there's some blue sky over there oh beautiful but then if i turn this way this tree just started making coconuts this year and it has a lot of them so yeah all right let's go let's go back inside here hey bells can you close the door thank you um let's have to look at this ridiculous thing right here for a moment what are you doing are you building stuff all right okay sorry pixie wiggling screen okay there we're back to stable so there's a bit of sunshine i actually had sunshine today lego is the second most important thing you can give them right after love and time right well that's two things time love wow that's something handmade items and trinkets are the most valuable presents because it's the idea that matters yeah yeah how far would you put up with customers picking christmas trees wait how far would oh wait i think it's the type of how far would put up with customers picking christmas trees oh it's too wide oh it's too thin oh god okay you're talking about when uh when you're a christmas tree seller and the customers are like this isn't the perfect tree i need to destroy a tree to put it in my house for a couple days it has to be absolutely perfect oh god yeah self-made presents are the best yeah glad you don't yield to the religious version of the end of the sun's cycle i don't know what that is alpha beta delta sigma and omega applies specifically to wolves canines it doesn't really work that way with primates humans maw yeah probably how is everyone doing today mr landfall asks um great let's see okay i think i have to scroll through a few of these pretty quick if you have a question um put question at the beginning of your your comment because i feel like i'm getting way behind you so i have to kind of skip through a few quick you get seven times more methane out of green manure than poop it's a good way to compost that especially since you already made a tank good to see this live almost never make it and watch later so if i put like like grass into the like down my drain and goes into the thing that will make more methane so if i'm not getting enough methane from the poop and the food scraps and whatever i should put some put some grass in there i think that's what i'm getting oh no i did get to the bottom of the thing maybe i'm not behind okay good uh if you put fresh cut grass and water in sealed container after two weeks of sitting it makes a really good fertilizer so the other thing with the methane producing machine is the buy the liquidy byproduct is supposed to be ah can you just put that somewhere where she won't get it so the one of the byproducts is this gross liquid that's supposed to be amazing fertilizer so i've i've put it on my plants in the past i haven't done it in a while i should go go do it it's just not that pleasant of a thing you know i have to undo a valve and all this stinky liquid comes out you know put it in a bucket and then go go dump it on the the plants which isn't horrible it's fine i should i should go do it any big spiders get in your home uh yeah i mean not not huge there hasn't been anything huge huge in here but you know like not not the body the out to the legs one night um in the middle of the night my son made the you know the i have to go pee sound so i got up and you know football carried him to the bathroom and did it did his stuff and then on the way back i saw a big huge spider walking towards one of my kids faces and i i was holding a kid in one hand and i'm not sure why i didn't didn't step on it but anyway i just smacked it with a hand because i i didn't have anything available yeah so um not that i want to kill spiders all the time or anything but if there's a big spider walking toward my kids face i'm just i'm just smacking it and i got guts all over my hand and it was gross but it actually seems like the longer i've been living in my house the fewer bugs come in maybe it's because i'm stinking it up with my human smell or whatever but i don't know it's like when i when i first built the place like bugs would just would just come in but then over time maybe it's because when they come in they have a lower survival rate so i'm affecting their their evolution so now they're having some some piece of evolution say if you go into contrary structures you know you are more likely to die so let's avoid those anyway question cost of island uh it depends on the island and um cheapest island i got was five thousand dollars and if you if you buy an island or any land around here through a real estate agent you can basically add a zero to the price like it's gonna cost a lot more but if you like the way we did it we lived here for a year before we bought anything it got to know people and we bought land from people who weren't necessarily selling it but they were like you know i have this piece of land and i i would like you to stay because we we like you you know do you want to buy it and then if they give me a price that was like the local price not the not the selling to gringo's price you know so i guess if i say my cheapest island cost five thousand dollars it was like five thousand dollars and schmoozing and time um so it's not like you could just show up and say give me give me an island for five thousand dollars now you to do that you'd have to invest some some time your pepper plants are going to love that fertilizer they're probably nitrogen deficient all right i'm gonna i'm going to put some of that some of that fertilizer on my pepper plants maybe i'll put it on some of them but not the others and then see see what the difference is but i should go i've been meaning to do that it's just you know been rainy and i've been i've been i've been kind of been being a wimp i guess because i'm like oh it's rainy i'm not going to go out but now it's been it's been raining it's been rainy for long enough that i feel like all right i just need to start doing the things i need to do you know i can't i can't dig and stuff like that in the rain because it just turns to muck but i can definitely you know machete the lawn and and build compost with all the grass and fertilize the plants and stuff i can i can do that in the rain uh stinky human yeah humans are so stinky lava rock makes great soil aeration for the garden if only i had some some lava around here question oh questions is the vaseline in your hands yeah i got some right here that's what i was using up for in case you're wondering oh there's a there's my my kayak model too by the way i love this kayak i want i really want to make one of these i mean full size one anyway well i want to make a mold and make several of those okay uh when you're doing fiberglass the question is if you put vaseline and coat your hands does it make it easier to get the the resin off your hands yes much much much easier so whenever i do fiberglass presuming i remember to do this and i always regret it regret it if i don't um i'll get a bit of a bit of vaseline and it doesn't take much you know just a little bit you just smear it all over my hands till it feels like they're kind of gross and sticky i'm slimy a little and then i'll do the fiberglass and it is significantly easier to get the the polyester resin off after so for anyone who doesn't know fiberglass is is glass fibers in plastic like it's it's glass reinforced plastic like glass fiber reinforced and you make it by taking this glass cloth which just looks like cloth except it's horribly itchy you don't want to like rub it on your face and you soak it in this resin that hardens and once it hardens you get this super strong stuff but the resin it's the well polyester resin is like this horrible chemical that's corrosive like if you get some on your arm you'll feel it burning it's not like it's going to melt right through your anything but it's like corrosive like you feel it it's like wow that doesn't feel good and it's super sticky like uh like honey it is not water soluble so you can't just wash it off it's not not soap won't dissolve it like you either need paint thinner or i don't want to have all these chemicals so i don't want to have paint thinner at my house all the time maybe if i was doing a lot at once i would get a a jug of paint thinner but i don't just have paint thinner here so if i coat my hands with with vaseline it's much easier to get the stuff off and i do use uh what's that stuff called fast orange it's this gritty like pump soap goop that is supposed to get grease and stuff off and the greediness helps get off the the resin and yeah combined with the vaseline it's not too hard to get it off let's see ever use the thin vinyl nitrile gloves this is the second part about the fiber glass thing i've tried using gloves doing fiberglass but i found it to be worse because okay the thin gloves they always get holes in them and then you get resin inside the glove and then it's worse than just not having to go up and i've tried using like big fat rubber gloves but the problem with those is you don't have as much dexterity and the gloves start getting uh you know like resin on them and then the fiberglass starts sticking them and you end up like tart and feathered with these giant clumps of stuff on your hands and it's like i always end up like flinging the gloves off and just going bare hands anyway now if you're if you're just doing a little bit of fiberglass yeah it'd probably be fine to use some gloves and just get done before you end up ripping them or getting all clumped up but i i just do i just do bare hands with with uh vaseline do you have concerns about sea level rising yes i do actually have concerns about sea level rising so out in front of my house and i don't know what this story is with sea level rising i don't know how much or what like you know there are all kinds of estimates and projections but trying to get a straight answer in in our current civilization is impossible because everyone's got an agenda the you know one person will be like it's going up like crazy so buy this and another person will be like ah it's fine so buy this yeah you can't get a straight answer on any of this stuff so the you know a good way to look at it is just kind of like prepare for prepare for the worst hope for the best so my preparations are you know i have those raised beds that i showed out in front of the house there may be 30 centimeters like a foot tall maybe a little more i plan to continue making raised beds down there until that entire area is raised and right now it's just a little bit above sea level well i guess it depends where you are but you know a little bit above sea level so it wouldn't take long for that to be all underwater and it does slope toward my house a bit so there are spots right by the water where the water like on a particularly high tide the water comes right up onto the edge of the land but it doesn't come on anywhere near the house or anything regardless i want to build up that whole area so i'll keep putting raised beds until it's just all raised beds and the land is just totally higher and and you know i'll also shovel some dirt there or whatever you know whenever i have excess dirt and my my house itself is about two meters above sea level so even based on pretty bad project projections i should be fine for like a hundred years for sure who knows how much longer and the thing is like with sea level the funny thing is overall over a long period of time the planet is cooling so sea level should go down overall it's just who knows how long it may be going up hey pick a spot question oh you just put it hey Joel McKenna he just put a q yeah if you don't want to write the whole word question just put a q i know what a q means q how does the argument around safeness for children come up and be discussed typically adventure builders get in conversations about physical safety practices uh so this is basically a question about safety for my kids um i guess i just do what what people have been doing for thousands of years you know i take reasonable precautions but i know my kids have to live their lives they're they're gonna do some some stupid dangerous things i try to limit that and for instance um my son who's four and he's little you know he's not that small but i mean he's a little guy he climbs up this these stacked mattresses that are over there i have some mattresses over there that are gonna go upstairs when i get the upper floor is done but right now they're just kind of like leaned up and they make this big stack he climbs up to the top of that and it's about two and a half times this height and he likes to jump off it into a mattress that has the a big what we call the marshmallow it's just a giant bean bag so he jumps off that thing into the giant bean bag and i let him do it um i'm just like well make sure you put a mattress on the floor and then the giant bean bag bean bag on top of it um and then you can do it um you know one one extreme would be to say no you can't do anything the other extreme would be to just let him do whatever he wants in in which case he might just put the bean bag there without the mattress below but the bean bag's loose enough that usually just landed foot foot first in one spot you basically go right through it um so i try to pick the the the best i don't want to say middle ground because that always implies a bunch of nonsense but you know i try to pick something that's reasonable considering you know i need to keep my kids safe but they also need to experiment and have fun and do kind of crazy things so we just try to be reasonable wait wait wait why are you eating out here you're supposed to only eat in the kitchen wait wait you want to show what these are so these are katuk berries katuk is like a spinachy kind of plant and i have a whole bunch of that growing in front of the house so you can eat the leaves and you can eat these little berries they taste like uh sweet peas and uh kids love them here here go eat go eat your katuk berries um i'm not going to eat on camera because i hate that oh that's the worst uh adventure builders get in in conversation about physical safety practices yeah i guess i guess the the basic answer is that you know being alive is not a safe thing like if you are alive like a lot of things have to go right for you to keep living so you're never going to get away from risk there's always a chance that you could die right now um there's no way to avoid that so just take reasonable precautions but still live life like you gotta do stuff you if you hide from from things too much out of safety then you end up not living so oh hello frederick hey there jamie late again hope you're doing fine and all as well we had some fun spreading some joy to homeless in ukraine refugee kids living in our island living on our island fundraising event and i excused i don't know excuse from what dude you know if you're having fun you're making you're uh spreading some joy i don't know what the situation is you don't have to excuse we don't have to be excused from anything you have to make your own decision about all this stuff of course um so if you think you're doing the right thing do it up man why did i subscribe to you gtr asks i have no idea i don't know what you're doing if anyone could figure out how the egyptians built the pyramids it would definitely be jamie i don't feel like that that could have been that difficult of a thing to figure out i bet i bet someone could figure that out pretty easily i i think the whole egyptian pyramid thing probably people have figured it out plenty of times or at least figured out possible ways to do it but that kind of you know gets rid of the whole the whole shock jock thing where it's like oh it's impossible aliens must have done it it's a more interesting story if you say it was impossible aliens must have done it it's more more fantastic if you know it'll make it'll make better headlines if you keep saying that rather than oh yeah it wasn't that i mean it was a lot of work it was hard but you know it's not like it's logistically unplanable like you just had you had a lot of people you had you had good planning they figured it out you use leverage you know they figured it out that's not nearly as exciting as the whole alien thing okay they used to make mattresses out of puffy seaweed i'd like to try that someday maybe they have this seaweed in your area well the first thing i thought of is um like sponges sea sponges but now the second thing i thought of is there are these spongy things that look like coral but if you touch it it's just it's it's spongy i don't know what the spongy seaweed is but there's a good chance it grows around here i don't know pumice base soaps are the best cool do it oh i know what you're talking about because it has the grit that's what the grit is yeah the grit i love the grit except when okay so i was talking about earlier how i was working on disheina's roof and uh you know i had to climb up a pretty tall ladder to get up to a roof and it was not the safest thing to do and i didn't want it to last weeks which it very easily could have so i just started barehanding the the mortar the concrete stuff and just and just smushing it on with my bare hands right which is much faster than traveling it the only problem is it the the cement eats through your hands very slowly but it does you know after three days of doing that i i had one spot where you know you could see red like it had worn through my skin and then just my skin in general was was pretty thin so at that point washing my hands with the the gritty stuff was like ah i know um but now there but yeah most of the time i really like the gritty soap stuff another thing that's great for your garden beds is charcoal oh yeah so the other day i was i was talking to my one of my daughters and saying you know everything grows really well right in front of the house like on this hill this whole hill across here and i think it largely has something to do with the charcoal because you know i cook with the wood fire and every time i go to make a fire the first thing i do is i take the whatever was left over some charcoal and some ash and dump it down the hill and i dump it in various spots to spread it out and uh yeah i think that that helps all those plants a lot there's also you know food scraps end up down there and stuff so it's just a mix of composty stuff and charcoal and ash and stuff um yeah so maybe i should maybe i should uh mix charcoal into the the dirt up on the mountain when i start composting that hopefully this guy my my neighbor has some information about that and he can help me out figure out what i what i should do okay charcoal helps provide airspace regulate moisture hold and continue to release release fertilizer let's sit in your gross water two hours in top dress beds okay so hey you guys gotta go over there if you're gonna be loud blabbers i just had to dad them kids do as soon as i get off this i'm gonna go dad to crap out of them rough up them kids throw them around they like that so i should take charcoal from my fire there's always some charcoal left put it in my stinky fertilizer water out of the methane thing let it soak for two hours and then take the charcoal and put it around and it will slowly release the nutrients into my plants to grow i am totally going to try that let me you know let me just write that down so i don't forget what do i write charcoal charcoal poop water poop hto2 always easier to write than water okay yeah i need to remember to do that hopefully that works amazingly well so top dress them or mix it in shred coconut shells also make great great aeration i know there's volcanoes there though yeah there's no volcanoes i mean i have to go like way over there to get to the volcanoes yeah i do have lots of coconut shells i'm i'm presuming you're talking about the husk that that comes off i have like a pile of those out in front of my house down on the down on the lower ground where i'm just kind of i keep putting in the same place to up to the level that i want the ground to be hoping that will make some good you know some good growing area okay sea level rise the worst if every bit of ice on the planet melts sea level will rise by between 210 and 240 feet yeah so if every bit of ice on the planet melts i'm definitely underwater i'm actually wondering i have one property that has a decent amount of elevations some of it might still be above water but yeah hopefully hopefully that doesn't happen like the video guys all right thank you jamie for showing me what can be done with some good old hard work you know good old hard work is like so so underrated today there's all this stuff about you know just administrating like like delegating work to other people so that you can sit back and relax and wear your suit and like look like like a fancy lad and just be the slave driver but man just just getting your own hands dirty and doing some work and yeah it is there's nothing like it like yeah like like if you spend a month just like hard labor working on something that you care about and then at the end of the month you have something that's valuable like like real value not that's something that you could sell for money or whatever i mean maybe you could sell for money but but something that is really valuable to you and useful in your life and you're like yeah i worked hard on that i got muscles i got all the soreness and yeah i mean it's it's just an amazing feeling you know to to put work to put your own hard work into something and have something really cool to show for it and on that topic you know growing your own food that's a great way to put some hard work into something that you're gonna benefit from how hard would it oh q question how hard would it be to start an exotic seed bank in your northern part of Panama well i don't know do i have to do i have to keep the exotic seeds cold i have to eat them cold don't i if i want to have them for a long time i don't know i don't feel like this is the best place for an exotic seed bank i think better would be just growing the plants of course you know if there's some catastrophe that wipes out of the plants then i do kind of keep a collection of seeds from food that i eat that i then plant so i do kind of always have this continually cycling bit of seeds from either papayas peppers watermelons man i haven't gotten any watermelons to grow here yet and uh i was thinking about that yesterday because dashana picked me up a watermelon in town when she went yesterday and i was i was just thinking man if i i need to i need to get my soil good enough that i can grow watermelons because over at dashana's island we were growing watermelons for a while and we got some really good watermelons like huge ones too um but then i don't know what changed they're not they're not growing anymore i don't i don't know what the story is but uh yeah i want to get some watermelons growing here i love watermelons oh my gosh i'm at the bottom of the i'm at the bottom of the comments which is very exciting that doesn't usually happen this early but it could be because i skipped a bunch earlier because i was concerned i wasn't gonna get to the bottom because last week uh last week i was not keeping up keeping up with the comments at all let me see if i can scroll to the part where uh i was skipping through oh i don't know where it was if anyone had any questions that i that i didn't answer that were way back here or anywhere just uh tell me all right otherwise i guess i'm i guess i'm going to take off early today because well frankly my electricity is kind of low and uh i mean the tablet doesn't use that much electricity but my electricity is kind of low and it's getting cloudy again oh man it'll be exciting when the sun comes out because there's i've kind of been doing a lot of indoor projects and i'm kind of getting to the point where i'm like okay enough indoor projects i want to do some outdoor stuff i do have a bunch of tiles that i can put down as an indoor project maybe maybe i should just do that like tile my bathroom or my kitchen my kitchen should be tiled first because that's where there's you know more food and stuff i clean the kitchen constantly not constantly but every day so maybe i should tile that with some of my my inside rainy daytime but yeah the other inside rainy daytime thing i have to do is set up a screen for my video and stuff screen if i just write screen will i remember that hopefully yeah this week on a rainy day i'm gonna try to set up some kind of hanging sheet or something so i can talk in front of that and i'm not backlit like i was when i started this video and let me just see if i missed any oh you know what sometimes happens is the video or the uh the comments get stuck okay i just reset the comments and then yeah there are some more here okay seeds have way more value than money yeah seeds are totally more valuable than money it's funny like people talk about what are you going to use for money in the apocalypse you know when you need to get food and it's like no you need food you don't need money you need food and seeds whatever to make food like you need land that will grow food that's what's valuable not the money pretty sure potash is different than wood ash we have huge potash mines here in canada s the sketch when i think wood ash is still beneficial as a ph balancer so i want to know what the deal is with ash ash in concrete so there's some kind of ash that you can add to concrete which makes it stronger in seawater as opposed to slowly weakening in seawater but can you use any ash can i use the ash out of my fire does it have to be volcanic ash get like i've never and that's the kind of thing you can't just look up online because any really useful information like that is always like you know it's just not there uh walk away and never look back surround yourself with doers not talkers saying that to david oh yeah oh i missed a couple things okay when i reset the comments i guess there were a whole bunch i missed i think earth is due for another ice age maybe our global warming is actually holding off the ice age earth is that has either been warming or cooling yeah so overall over time the planet cools but then it you know goes up and down a lot so um you know there may be some flooding from some global warming but eventually it's gonna cool off again unless we do something you know set up a bunch of news or something i don't know but um the tricky thing with that stuff is it all happens on such a large time scale that you know you can plan your life around it to a certain degree but yeah at some point it's like well 14 generations from now they're just gonna have to deal with whatever happens because i don't really know i can try to plan the best i can for you guys like 14 generations from now but you know there's so only so much i can do uh recently i turned 180 oh no pounds scrap metal with a wheelbarrow oh returned 180 pounds of scrap metal with a wheelbarrow for a round trip of 10 miles and i thought about you and your wheelbarrow running i was sure sore the next day thank you for inspiring so you you put 180 pounds of scrap metal and you went on a 10 mile round trip to take that's great yeah i love doing stuff like that um yeah it's good for your muscles man seaweed is so good for soil health i need to get more seaweed and start putting it in my soil more uh the ashes from a fire are also good for gardening look up pot ash and someone said pot ash is different than the ash from a fire yeah heading to a christmas party stay awesome everyone will have fun mr landfill and northern island boy says where is tomater yeah where where is tomaters okay we got a question here from david taylor this may be a difficult one but do you have any tips for working with people oh god working with people who don't want to work and just want to stand around talking oh just get rid of them i mean that's that's my that's my go-to move is when when you have people who just want to stand around talking and they pretend to help oh it's so uh it's so horrible having those people just just make them go away if you can but the problem is if you're working at some place and you're not the boss or you're not in charge of who's there or whatever and you're just stuck dealing with these people you know there's only so much you can do you you can put some encouragement out there but i've had situations where i was working you know i i did a lot of jobs a lot of odd jobs in my life uh one time the a job that i think of was when i was doing a a demolition job where it was basically like a salvage kind of operation where we would go into some factory that was being either decommissioned or they were upgrading some stuff and we take out all this old equipment so we'd have to cut through like just unbelievable amounts of like asbestos while wearing the protective clothing and get rid of all the asbestos and get to the pipes underneath and then often like have to torch cut those out or or maybe we could unbolt them depending on the rustiness and whatever so there was basically a salvage operation then we get everything and then they go sell it and then we get paid whatever and i was part of a crew with my brother and me my brother and like two other guys we were like we were we were awesome we would be like all right guys we're here to do this job let's let's do it let's kick butt and there was this other crew of just lazy troublemakers who would okay so one day they had this there was this big pile of metal that it was their job to move to some spot where we would get taken away and sold and they just kind of left it there and they just dilly dallyed and they were like up on a roof just screwing around and like every hour they go take a piece and put it to where it goes meanwhile my crew of guys got through everything we were supposed to do that day then we see this big pile of metal and we're like oh well let's move that that needs to go here you know we check with the boss yeah so we start moving it and these these idiot guys there's five of them no that's our pile don't touch that because once that's moved we get another job but we like the job we have right now moving this pile so you get away that's our pile we're doing it and we're just like oh god oh so there was a slight physical altercation where this one of them shoved me and I was just like whatever I don't care well let's just go do something else unfortunately my brother saw this guy shove me and I saw the look on my brother's face and I'm like no no dude it's not worth it it's not worth it these guys are complete morons do not go to jail for them because he was ready to kill this guy and I'm just like let's just let's just go work at this other end of the factory and just leave these idiots to do whatever they want to do and the boss can deal with them you know so yeah I mean it's it's it's frustrating and horrible when you have to work with people like that but I feel like the best thing you can do is just just separate yourself from them and you know they're gonna they're gonna have to live with themselves like that's the worst punishment they're they're gonna have to face they're gonna have to spend the rest of them life the rest of their lives looking at their own crappy reflection in the mirror just being horrible people and they're gonna have to deal with all that so just get away from that you know work with work with the good people do a good job and whatever and if you ever can just just get those people out of your life as much as you can um yeah seeds have way more value than money yeah okay that was the pie do you have a source of bat poop great fertilizer I did have a source of bat poop so in one of my coconut palm trees one of the ones I showed when I was just outside the one that I said just started making coconuts this year um there were like a lot of bats hanging up there it was really cool what they would do is there there are these big you know the big coconut palm fronds the big palm thing right uh it's like a stick that sticks out and then there's all these little uh long leaves that stick out the sides and if you're under that it's kind of waterproof and what the bats would do is I don't know how they did it if they nibbled on it or whatever they would somehow damage the the leaf thing sticking out in a shape that and get them to hang down so they would basically make this you know the palm front would be there they make it so there was this hanging down part around so it made walls and they'd attach themselves up in there and uh it was pretty cool they did a good job on that and they were there for I don't know six months or something and then a while ago they just I guess disappeared because I don't know they went somewhere else so I lost my my bat poop source hey what's going on with that baby oh uh northern island boy says oh my god hold on a second let me let me let's go see what's going on with this screaming kid before we talk about our lumber no hey what is going on over here you got a kid throwing a sit where's your mom going did she just leave oh she's asleep Eritre hey baby come here this isn't what you're supposed to be doing over here it's fine okay good I just I can deal with that a little bit better later but I just put one kid I threw one kid into the marshmallow just to get them away from each other and hopefully by the time she gets back over to where the other kid is she will have calmed down hey Aurora you want to check on Eritre and see how she's doing okay back to here sawmill update okay I started working on the lumber no I in fact have a video I need to upload but I haven't uploaded it yet because it's been so cloudy you know I don't much like this oh I'm gonna have to use dad voice here hey what's going on here what is happening what is wrong with you you little turkey let me put this down for a second all right do you want to beat up this kid this kid's on the floor screaming I don't even know what she's upset about what's wrong with her she bit herself apparently my two-year-old no no no no no no you're not allowed to do that all right for anyone who wants to imagine a really funny scene right now I have my two-year-old by the leg upside down I just tried to do somewhere else hey calm down come here I can't do this with one hand okay can you hold this for a second yeah give me this baby all right there we go here look at the screen let's distract you for a second everyone who has kids you know what this is like hey look it's us it's us um so I started I started working on the lumber mill and I got the first part of it done and I'll upload a video of that as soon as I get some sun hey hey hey relax relax relax I know oh David Taylor's talking to northern island boy what did northern island boy say oh walk away and never look back surround yourself with doers not talkers yeah I've had that thought that I should just leave I've been trying to just keep working myself and ignore them it's hard though yeah I guess when you when you have to ignore horrible people like that the the thing I think is just they have to deal with themselves hey Laura can you take this kid and like go over there she's totally fine she's just she's just being noisy right now here special delivery yeah give her some snuggles all right so yeah the thing I just think is when you're when you have to deal with people who were horrible like I was talking about in that job we have those horrible people just remind yourself no all right pick her up and like take her over where mama is you gotta get her to calm down so yeah you just have to remember that it's not your responsibility to make sure everyone is doing the right thing and it sucks if you're working hard and they're not you know it's not fair blah blah blah whatever but the thing is they're not they're not gaining anything from that like people who aren't doing their job or doing a crappy job they're not like getting ahead and making some some great gains for free that that you should have and that's that's kind of the way we're told to think about it is like if someone else is is not doing the work they're getting away with something but they're not they're they're they're getting the bad deal and they have to deal with who they are hold on a second all right where where is she all right good question the bridge all right I've been just trying to keep working myself and ignore them it's hard work oh question is the bridge done the bridge is mostly done I still have a bunch of dirt I have to put on the walkway on the other side of the bridge but the bridge itself yeah it's it's good it's really cool I have to have to figure out how to show that do you have many contracts around the town cities to recruit some future adventure building wait contacts contracts do you have many contracts you must be contacts do you have many contracts around the town cities to recruit some future adventure builders I I'm not entirely sure what that means contacts adventure builders are hard to find like it is really hard to find someone who is like not just like like like like a normal person you know like like just thinking about money and all that and the funny thing is even people who like I've known I've known a lot of people who claim to be adventure builders yeah I'm with you Jamie I'm I'm an adventure builder too you know yeah even before I heard it from from you yeah that's that's the way I was thinking but then you know you kind of spelled it out and I'm like yeah that's that's what I am I'm an adventure builder so I've been I've been like that I'm with you man and then they'll immediately start talking about how they duped someone or or made some money doing some some some shady deal but they used their adventure builder skills to to get ahead of other people and push them down and I'm just like well no that is not it that is not adventure builder at all so like to find people who actually are on board with this is pretty hard and uh another example I think of like a friend not too long ago told me that he he didn't tell me something that I needed to know because he didn't want me to feel bad and I'm like that's not adventure builder you gotta tell me the truth you know you're not sparing me you're sparing yourself because you you don't want to deal with the emotional whatever of telling someone something that they don't want to hear so I know if the if the truth is something I'm not going to want to hear this doesn't mean don't tell me it tell me it because then I can adjust my behavior as appropriately or do whatever I need to do to deal with the truth uh yeah to find to find people who are actually can you stop doing that you need to go go do something else um to find someone who's who's actually doing it for real not just as a bunch of talking points it's unbelievably hard um this is also one of the reasons Bella Bella checks hold on if you're gonna play with Lego you gotta do it over there because this is too noisy here um yeah you know this is also one of the reasons why I've been single so long I mean trying to find anyone who has any kind of moral thing it's just hard male or female um David Taylor hard to do if you love the work you're doing but if the people you're working with don't love it why are they there maybe give them tools they need to move on and find the work they love yeah okay so this is still talking about what do you how do you deal with people who don't want to do work when you're working hard and they they don't want to do the work they just want to stand around wasting time like there's a very limited amount you can do in that situation maybe maybe in the past you know during caveman times you just clock them over the head with a with a club and then they're either dead or they stumble away bleeding but like today I mean I'm not I'm not saying you should do that anyway I'm just saying that was the solution at one point um there's there's not that much you can you can do other than just realize that they have to live with themselves let them go ahead and do their thing and try to separate their their effects from whatever you're working on as much as possible so I'm I'm approving I'm presuming this kind of situation happens when you're working for someone else on some kind of project that's not yours in which case you know you can only be so emotionally connected to it and I might have to go because I have apparently no other parent here who can handle a child that's kind of going crazy so if you ever make lumber I will make lumber look up the back to eating gardening method uses wood chips and less digging I do that is one of the things I want like when I when I build the lumber mill and start cutting wood here I'm I'm looking forward to having all that sawdust that I can put on the ground and mix into the dirt and all that stuff oh it looks like my my two-year-old may have been appeased by snacks whatever it's fine concrete information on youtube look up tyler lay he has all kinds of in-depth videos on concrete technology and they are all really good all right I'm going to look this up but I'm also going to say that people keep telling me to look up this stuff and people who have really good information and almost always I go and I'm just like this is garbage it's complete way it's the same crap that's just being spouted all over the internet just over and over it's just the same garbage over and over please let this not be that okay I'm gonna look it up tyler lay but yeah seriously I in most of the time people tell me to look stuff up it's just a complete waste of my time there's a podcast by Joe rovin is that Joe Rogan with some other dude I forgot his name this is not going to be useful at all then Joe Rogan does like a podcast like every day for years there's thousands of them I forgot his name he explains I don't know how if he does them every day whatever he explains the relation the relationship between global cooling and carbon in the air there is something off the chart I suggest I don't I don't know how to look it up how would I look it up I don't even don't know the name it to anyone curious it's analysis of core drilling in the ice caps how did your hand infection heal up Jamie there's there's the hand totally fine the only the only thing I have right now and it wasn't actually infected I'm pretty sure my hand was not infected it swelled up around where I got the cut but I think it was just swelling up to close up the cut or like kind of it mobilized my hand a little bit you know kind of like if you twist your ankle that swells up to get you to stop walking on it you know I think it was just a normal thing there was no discoloration or anything I'm pretty sure it didn't get infected because no pus nothing like that and as soon as the cut healed the swelling went away so I think it was the swelling was just there as part of the healing process and right now the only thing that's a little bit sore is there's like scar tissue here where I got a cut but um yeah it's getting a lot better I can almost do knuckle pushups on concrete again uh I have to put it put something soft there right now on this knuckle but you know another week or two it should be back to like I don't even remember which hand it was good bye all have a good day adventure building okay the ash you're talking about has to be super heated I'll make mud balls out of ash let them dry then fire them like you would pottery okay so if I super heat some ash then I can use it in concrete is that what I'm understand and it'll be good you're free Jamie well um I'm not free I'm I'm a relatively speaking I'm very free compared to a lot of people but I'm still not totally free but yeah and that guy who shoved you is probably still just moving scrap metal from one pile to another in the matrix that I'm sure that guy is not having a fun life I don't know maybe he's having a fun life you know getting drunk or whatever this is so fun I don't know it doesn't matter that guy doesn't matter I don't even know what his name was or what he looked like is not important the fired ash is similar to lime it reacts with water then you can mix it with sand for concrete just by itself but I'm sure it would help regular concrete suck less so yeah if you if you make concrete with just regular ash that's been heated a lot um does it make concrete that that works well in saltwater because that's that's the problem with with concrete is you know saltwater degrades it over time oh all right I'm gonna get out of here I got some ants I gotta go kill and as a kid I need to go rough rough up and uh yeah I should I should turn this off anyway because the sun's not out I'm just using electricity and not making anyone people think of an island as a vacation yeah vlog city Jamie you're not single you have kids with a woman that lives with you on the same island that's not actually true I don't know why I we live on separate islands in separate houses so I don't know I guess know your facts before you say stuff I don't know uh but yeah totally understandable to get miss miss uh misunderstood on that okay I'm gonna go beat up some kids and everyone have an excellent evening morning what is it was it the middle of the day right here middle of the day evening morning or whatever you want look how happy this kid is this one is this one is always happy this is my snuggle kid but check out our muscles check out check this out we've been doing morning exercises yeah some muscles all right I'm gonna go have some fun with my kids and everyone else have a great day oh I will see you later oh you want to say bye too bye well you gotta get in front of the camera if you want to say bye okay
