 Haven't done a general update video in a while, so I'm gonna do that now So a few things I want to talk about one is a little bit about me how I've been doing Some about current projects and some stuff about near future projects. So a little bit about me You know the last few years have been very difficult for me And I I feel like I just recently got over the hump Like got over the most difficult part because you know, it's it's difficult to start a new life in a new place Particularly when you don't speak the language that well You don't know anyone and you don't know how anything works or anything, you know, it's it's been it's been very difficult I mean enjoyable too and Originally, I wasn't even gonna document the last few years because I knew I'd be going through some HE double hockey sticks But you guys were like no no keep keep the camera on keep the camera on and Now I gotta say thanks for pressuring me and to do that doing that because now I'm glad I did And I know I've been a little bit abrasive maybe cold Not not had the the presence of mind to have all the social graces I should maybe have over the last few years, but I feel like I'm turning back into a human being now so that's good and You know over the last few years Thank you to everyone who's who's been understanding of all of that and who's been supportive of me during that time Emotionally and financially, you know through my patreon or PayPal or Bitcoin or whatever You know, I saved enough money to come to Panama and live here But in a very minimalistic way so all the all the more interesting Projects and all the experimental stuff where I get to learn a lot and hopefully you guys get to learn a lot All that stuff is because you guys donate money so super. Thanks to that. All right enough about me, but thank you current projects Okay, if you watch my videos at all, you know, I've been working on this boat So I won't go into it a ton because there's a whole video series on it But I just went the other day to the store to pick up a bunch of PVC pipes And there's some other materials inside this hatch to make the solar sails these things But you're gonna be kind of like this Blah blah blah and on that subject I decided at the beginning of this year that for this entire year and Presumably into the future. I would no longer be taking gasoline rides to town So not hiring anyone to take me to town just pedal boating solar boating whatever whatever I can do with my own stuff and So far I've been sticking to that I think I've gone to town two times this year in a gasoline boat That's because someone else was going and I just went with them but for all my trips I've been going either pedal boating or solar boating and I Did go in this boat the other day to pick up that stuff and Took maybe Eight hours round trip seven or eight hours round trip. I didn't time it exactly But I got back and I wasn't too tired the next day I was able to do stuff not totally useless and that's without any motor assistance and With with only one peddler. So that's really good So I must be getting either in in good shape or this boat is excellent. This boat is excellent. All right What else have I been working on I've been digging and That is so I can build My super duper workshop headquarters house, which is gonna look like this All right, I drew this quite a while ago long enough ago that the papers like half missing now However, I've pretty much kept the same idea I want to have a big open bottom floor that mostly has a high ceiling But around this around the outside of the dome on the second floor I want to make a running track that's really banked because it's not gonna be that big a building and then the third floor I mean there will be space for a fourth floor, but I want no fourth floor I just want a big open ceiling Gymnasium room basketball volleyball, you know running around the areas for When it's raining out and I just wanted somewhere to to play with the kids and stuff or by myself I'll climbing ropes that'll go from down here all the way up fun house Now there is one difference from this that I want to change Okay, one of the things I loved about my dome in Vermont was this steel pipe frame that was everywhere inside and Oh, and I will definitely have space for a trampoline on the third floor But the steel frame meant you could climb on it all over the place So the steel pipe frame inside the dome and you could climb all over inside the dome You could attach things all over the place anywhere to these steel pipes It was just it was one of my favorite things in the dome. It made It was just really useful for a lot of things and it was fun and it was really cool So I was thinking how could I do that here? You know, there's salt water everywhere everything rusts And I was starting to think well What if I could just get enough stainless steel pipes? And of course at first I thought yeah, right, but then I did the math. I think for like $1,500 I can do it I'm gonna have to negotiate pretty good on the price of that Hopefully I can get a discount by buying in volume But that's worth it to me $1,500 for this Stainless steel frame which will change the shape like it'll change the way I build the dome a little I think I'll go more straight up and then kind of in instead of you know parabolic Because the steel frame will will hold the weight and I won't have to I can just I can just make it different So I think I'm gonna try to do that. Oh, and I already have the the stainless steel bolts to bolt it all together I bought those on Craigslist a while ago. Some guy was selling 3,500 stainless steel bolts for $250 which is like 10% of what they cost normally so I just bought them and I won't need that many for this But I think I'm gonna use like a hundred for this thing and there are still some logistics to work out I need to go to the store negotiate with the dude Because I've got the prices from the the manufacturer and blah blah blah and I need to get them here But I I think I can make it happen. Oh, and I'll get some extra stainless Steel parts while I'm doing that. Hopefully in a bulk order where I can get it cheaper because of another project I want to do Pretty soon after the dome is finished like once I've got like a nice big workshop I think one of the first things I want to make is a giant robot another giant robot So my first giant robot was this crazy thing It's like 12 10 12 feet tall several meters tall. I Do have lots of designs of walking machines that I'm considering. I Think I'm gonna go with this design Because there's like one more level of refinement in the spider tank design that I want to do all right, all right Yeah, that's basically what we're talking about and So the spider tank design because you know at first I made a few and then made a diesel and then made one that actually Was a toy that was sold in stores You know, I've gone through a lot of refinements but I think I think one more refinement and it'll be done and with all the fiberglass Experience I have now I think I can make a really awesome robot that now one of the reasons I want to I want to build that particular robot is because I've kind of been getting Inspired by a video game. I've been playing that has those robots in it. It's a video game. I've been working on and Let me show you in a second. Oh and just last night. I got to the ending of the video game I still have to go back to You know do lots of touch-ups and you know add more sounds and effects and stuff But like the story is like I don't want to say anything about the ending But it got to the part where you where you save the world basically, you know, if you're good enough So I've been playing this video game where you know you drive around this robot and You know, I'm enjoying it a lot. I've also been making the video game You know to kind of be the kind of game I would like so But anyway now I kind of want to drive a real one I don't want to give away too much here. Oh Great now they started playing. I'm gonna play for a while. Okay. I gotta go So in a nutshell, I want to build this thing right here like with this guy to scale Pretty much and there are some other projects. I'm thinking about but that's that's the one I've been thinking about a lot lately Probably because the working on this video game Okay, another big project that's coming up is I want to build a guest house What are one of my friends here and I are gonna do this together So we want to build a guest house because people often ask if they can come visit I don't really have very good accommodations or anything and I was thinking, you know, I should make a guest house That's just on on its own little island with you know, a guest house a nice outdoor cooking area a place to poop you know stuff like that and Something I want to do with this is I want to start having like week-long Events where and this is all still up in the air This is I'm I'm still working out exactly how I want to do this But this is my my first take on it is like get 10 to 20 people to come at once I'll have bunks in there. So there'll be plenty of places to sleep But you know people will be kind of together. Maybe I'll have to build two concrete domes so people will come for a week and And we'll Work on some projects together do some stuff hang out Go kayaking around the islands, you know, just have a fun week of stuff to do And there are three projects that I've been thinking would be good to include like categories of projects One would be something people can take home with them so make a spoon or The spatula or something. I don't know something Some project that's small enough that people can take home with them And I'll have a list of different things we can work on you know ideas And if anyone has their own idea fine cool Okay, the second category was Something that will improve the area. So it would be good if each group Worked on some project that made the area where they were staying better So like maybe one group would be like hey, we're gonna make a brick oven for making pizzas And the next group is like hey, we're gonna make this dock or something You know, we're gonna make a path through the jungle, you know, then then every group that comes We'll make the place cooler for the next group And then the third category I was thinking we should work on something That I'm currently working on Because I presume a lot of people who will come to this If people come to this will be people who watch my videos and that way they can say Hey that thing in that video there. I worked on that. I helped so people will actually help on help with something that I'm Actively working on whatever is going on at the time And there will be a lot of flexibility with this of course if people have ideas or one group is like We want to work on this one thing all week or we just want lots of free time, whatever, you know So the guideline will be flexible, of course Now I can't do this for free. Obviously I don't I don't need to make a bunch of money off this or anything. It's more for social interaction and you know Possibly even meeting some people who'd want to move here So, uh, yeah, so I can't do it for free. Obviously now places around here cost like $500 a night And I was thinking more like $500 ish or something like that for the week like weekend week weekend And that'll include a place to stay food and materials for whatever projects we do And that that should definitely cover it That's what I'm thinking so far I'm I'll figure out more details as I go, but first we just need to build the place. Okay. What else is going on? Yeah, this one's still alive My arcade controllers are still doing awesome Stainless wheelbarrow and shovels doing excellent work Tire sandals doing really well The grippy grabber is still rescuing things from the ocean or wherever. Oh, apparently the rain still works House is doing great. I've got a bunch of boards in here drying Zombie chopper is excellent. That's the that's the most comfortable Ride to town, you know, just doesn't have a lot of storage space the houseboat still holding together and There's my internet antenna up there still working This here breadfruit tree is getting pretty tall. No breadfruit yet. Oh over here. There's a Water apple tree excited for that This papaya tree is amazing. Oh It's doing so good. It just it's just constantly Got papayas and every few days it drops one look at the size of these suckers I know they're not that big, but I'm excited about them. Oh Isn't that excellent? Well, I'm gonna fall off soon. I've got bananas growing I think there's three chunks of bananas in here right now. That one's not very big I might need more compost in this banana clump This banana clump is a newer one, but I already got a huge thing of bananas off this one a few days ago How you doing bells Are you getting your two front teeth yet? Still like a vampire. Oh You like pizza idea. Should we have pizza for dinner? This here concrete water tank I made is just concrete no liner or anything.
