 Joe Blow, how's it going? So I think it's actually 11 o'clock. I'm ready to go. Well, this camera makes me much more colorful than the last camera. So as of last week and this week, Deshaunay got a new tablet and it looks like the picture is way better than it used to be. All right, what am I gonna talk about today? Well, I did think of something. Maybe I'll give people a couple, a few more seconds to get here or maybe I'll just shut up and start. Hey, Hartley, it is alive. Is that Ben? I think that's Ben. Deshaunay keeps track of people's names better than me. Tomaters is here. That's excellent. All right, for now, and now I guess we can really start. All right, we got Joe Blow. Yes, we've got Ben, Joe Blowmeister and Tomaters. So I think we're ready to go. Okay, so the other day, a couple of friends came to visit me at my house and I was showing them around, it was this older couple, a guy and a girl. And I was showing them around and showing them some digging I'm doing and I'm like, oh yeah, I'm gonna flatten this big area out and build a guest house here and maybe put a pond here. And I was describing this scene. And then I said, but I mean, all this could change. I'm not totally sure about this. You're gonna all change. And then the lady looks at me and says, oh yeah, yeah, of course. I mean, it could end up being harder than you realize or maybe you'll strain a muscle and you won't wanna do it anymore. And I'm just like, no, I mean, I might change my mind because I might think of something better. And she was like, oh yeah, because it might be more difficult than you realize so you wanna do something better that's easier. And I was just like, what are you talking about? No, I don't care how hard it is. I'm gonna do the best thing I can. I wanna do the best thing. So we just moved on and carried on with the conversation and looked at some other stuff and stuff. But that kind of changed my perspective on everything she said from then on and everything she said, anytime she talked about her life, it was like there are all these problems and she'd kind of been back into a corner by life and any complaints she had were not things she could fix or change. It was just like, oh, the world is doing this to me and now I'm here and I kind of realized most of the people I know are in that situation. And I was in that situation when I was a kid, when I was a lot younger, where life was just kind of shoving me around and pushing me in a direction. And this lady was older than me and she'd never broken out of it. And I think a lot of people get stuck in that and they just end up going down the easy path and anytime there's a little roadblock, often put there specifically by someone. Hey, Karina. So often these little roadblocks people have are specifically put there by someone to direct people in a certain direction and so many people are going down these easy paths but their path gets narrower and narrower and they end up in this place where they're like, life isn't really satisfactory but it's hard to get out because I've gone so far down this path, I've been nudged down here and now I'm just surrounded by difficulty so I'll just accept it. And then I was thinking, well, how did I get out of that? At the beginning of my life, I was very unsatisfied with what was going on around me but I was still trying to play the game, trying to kind of do what I was supposed to do what the adults told me, if you do this stuff life will get better. I went to school and did well in sports and went to university. I even finished university. I don't know how I put up with that crap but by the time I got finished I was so sick of the whole thing that I decided, look, I would rather die than go down this path. And I guess a lot of people just kind of keep going. And I don't know specifically what it was in me that made me like start disregarding the easy path and going for the hard path but I do remember a specific incident where it was really like a change in the way I viewed the world. And before this incident I could be directed by what was easier and harder and after this incident that stuff just kind of became muted a lot. And so I'm gonna tell the story about that. And this is a story that several people have told me is their favorite Jamie story. So hopefully some of those people are listening right now. So this was the year, the winter before I originally went off grid. And I was living in Cape Cod which is kind of a vacation place like east of Boston, you know, you got New York then Boston and Cape Cod is this thing that sticks out in the ocean. And at that latitude, you have cold winters like cold, snowy, you know, all that which I'm used to because I grew up in Canada. So it's kind of like that weather. So I got a house sitting gig. So I was living in a house in Cape Cod for three months for free, which is nice because the person who owned the house didn't wanna be there in the winter but they wanted someone to be in the house to take care of it. So I was like, yeah, great. So for three months I was in this house and I had a job but not much else to do. So I decided, you know, I'm gonna get in really good shape. I'm gonna do a lot of exercise and make sure that I'm really ready to go live in the wilderness. Cause I knew at that point that I was done with all the, you know, all the world that people told me I was supposed to do. And I was like, no, I'm going to live off grid in the wilderness sometime in the next year. So I'm gonna spend this winter just trying to get ready for it, get really strong, build up as much health as I can before I go, you know, kind of maybe get beat up a little in the wilderness. So I decided, okay, every morning I'm gonna run either five or eight miles. And I'm gonna run down the beach and then there's a road that goes alongside the beach. So I'm gonna run halfway down the beach and halfway back along the road. And then I had some other exercises and a bunch of other stuff. We're just gonna focus on this morning run. Every morning I did this. So at the beginning of the three months, I opened the door and I decided I'm just gonna wear certain shorts and my shoes because I might need to get used to the cold. You know, I gotta get toughened up. If I'm gonna go live out in the wilderness, I might be in some situations where it's really cold. I gotta get tough. And I knew from running in Canada through winters that as long as I'm running, you know, I'll warm up even if I'm just wearing a T-shirt and shorts. So let me back this up a little. You can see like my nostril here, it's here. So first morning I opened the door. Ooh, it's pretty cold, but not too cold. Just getting close to freezing. It's still not that cold yet. So I go and run my five miles and get back and then do a bunch of exercises. And the next morning I go out there and run eight miles and get back. And every day it's getting a little colder and colder, but just gradually. So I'm getting used to it. And I know that usually within like the first half-mile, the long as I'm running at a pretty decent pace, I warm up enough that I'm not cold at all. Now running down the beach, generally I would run along the beach high up enough on the beach that the water wouldn't get up to me. You know, the waves are kind of coming in and going out. But there was this one section where someone had built a restaurant like way down on the beach. So there was a concrete wall and a concrete wall. And beside that was another restaurant and something else and maybe for like 100 meters, there was like a sheer concrete wall and then the water. So during low tide, you can make it through on the beach, but during high tide, the water came up to the wall. So, and the tide changes every day. So as it was getting colder and the ties were changing, it was starting to come in more and more. And in this little hundred meter section, I'd have to like kind of time it. So a wave would come in and then just as it's going out, I'd run down there, run as fast as I can and get through that part before the next wave came in, which worked out pretty well. You know, it gave me a little boost of motivation, made me sprint faster. I was like, that's good because I'm trying to get strong and healthy here. Right? So as the wintery on this, you know, the tide got more and more coming in there. And then, you know, after a few weeks, it started going back out and then I was okay. And then, you know, the second or third time the water started coming in, it was getting pretty cold. So it was getting definitely below freezing. And some days I actually had to run through the water, through the ocean water, so my feet got soaking wet. And I started thinking, well, maybe I should just turn around right after this and go back to the house because my feet are cold. But I thought, no, no, I gotta toughen myself. I gotta toughen myself up. Make sure I can handle this. Because I think I can handle this. So on days when the water was coming in, I'd run through ankle deep water in the ocean and get back to the beach and then carry on and run all the way back. And it was fine. I would always warm up by William Glasser knows this story. So I kept doing this every day. That's Joe. And, oh, that's Joe, Joe Camel? Yeah. Cool. All right, so maybe halfway through the winter. I wake up in the morning. I got my t-shirt on, my little shorts, and my shoes. And I'm like, all right, I'm getting ready to go out in the cold for my eight mile run this morning. And I open the front door and I close the front door. Because I opened the front door and I inhaled and it was so cold. It was like bitter cold, like my face hurt. You know that cold when your nostril hairs stick together, you breathe in, it's like, you just feel it. And it's like, whoa. So I closed the door and I was like, whoa, whoa, that got really cold. And I, I estimated it was about negative 40, about, like one of those extra, extra super cold days in the middle of winter. And I thought, well, maybe, oh yeah, Ricky knows that cold. And I was like, man, man, maybe I should, maybe I should get a hat and some long sleeves and, and you know, just not, not, not go out there and kill myself, you know? Cause I know the, I know the ocean water is getting up too. I'm, I'm gonna be going through some water here. And I thought, no, no, no, no. I need to know if I can handle this. Because if I'm gonna go live off grid, I may find myself in a position when it's winter and I'm out in the wilderness and it's late in the day and I have to decide if I'm gonna spend the night in the wilderness, or if I'm like, it's too cold and I don't have sufficient shelter or I have to go to a hotel or something, right? I don't wanna, I don't wanna make that be the test when it's like, you know, 2 30 in the morning and I'm getting frostbite and I have to like crawl out of the wilderness to try to save my life. Now I need to do this test now. I need to find out if a human can handle this. So I'm like, all right. So I, I got my little, little t-shirt on. I rubbed my hands together and I'm like, this is gonna be cold. So I open the door, jump out and I start running like crazy. And man, usually within a quarter mile, half a mile I'd be warmed up, but I wasn't getting warm. So it was just running as hard as I could. But I started warming up and by the end of the first mile I was starting to, starting to get the feeling in my hands. And I was like, okay, now I'm coming up to that part where the, where the water, where the ocean water comes in and there's a, a sheer wall there. And I can see ahead, the water is definitely coming right up to the wall. And I look out at the ocean water and it's just a field of little icebergs like about the size of coffee tables, you know, just, just ice. And I'm thinking, man, what temperature does ocean water freeze at? This is gonna be so cold. I don't know if I should do this because I'm already pretty cold. And if I continue doing my eight mile run as I, as I originally intended, that means I'm gonna be running through like knee deep water. That's like frozen salt water. And I don't know, I don't know if this is safe at this point. But then I thought, no, no, no, let's just go. This is keep going, at least go through the water. And, and if I have to, I can turn around. I'm sure I can make it back to the house without dying because at this point it's maybe, it's maybe a mile and a half, two miles to get back to the house after the water. So I start running as hard as I can. And I get close to the part where I have to go down into the water. So I start running down into the water. My feet hit the water and I'm like, whoo, that's cold on my feet. But I'm like, no, no, just keep going, just keep going. And I get down to the water, the water's up to my knees and I'm running along and I'm running along the side of this conjury wall staying as close as I can, trying to stay up on the water, but the water's like up to my knees and it is freezing. I'm looking down and my legs are getting red and the water's splashing on my arms. I'm just holding my fists to try to keep my fingers from getting cold. And then the water gets a little higher and I'm like, whoo, that is cold. But I got through that a hundred meters and I get to the end of the frozen water part. And I run up out of the water, higher up on the beach. And as I'm running higher up on the beach, I'm like, if I just keep going straight, I can get back to the road and get back to the house because I am so cold right now. Like this is the coldest I've ever been. Like if I don't warm up quick, I'm gonna start getting frostbite. But something in me just said, no, you know what? Let's just go to the next turnoff. Because there's all of these little spots where you can get through the bushes up to the road. And I was like, there's gonna be another one soon. Let's just go a little further. So I turn and start running down the beach and I'm numb and my legs are just beat red and I'm red everywhere. Just gives like the cold. And I'm soaking wet and my shirt is starting to solidify because it's freezing. And, you know, I had a big beard and that's freezing. And my eyebrows, I could see the ice on them. And I'm like, nah, just keep going. Just keep going. Run hard and try to warm up. So I got to the next turnoff. And I was like, no, no, just keep going. One more, one more. So I got to the next turnoff. And by the end of the third turnoff, I said, you know what, if I don't take this one, I'm not looking at anymore. I'm just going the rest of the two more miles down this road. And then I'm running the whole four miles back. I'm doing the entire eight miles. So I was like, no, I'm not taking the turnoff. So I started running down the beach. I kept, well, I didn't start. I kept running down the beach and I was just running as hard as I could. And I know it wasn't going that fast because my legs were numb, everything was numb. But within another mile, mile and a half, I started warming up. I started getting the feeling back in my body parts and I'm running as hard as I can, just trying to generate as much heat as I can. And I noticed that the ice on my eyebrows was even starting to melt. And by the time I got to the turnaround to go back, I wouldn't say I was feeling fine, but I wasn't freezing anymore. Like my fingers were still cold, but my arms and my legs were starting to feel all right again. So I turned up to the road and started running back. And within like another mile or so, my feet weren't numb anymore. And I just kept running as hard as I could, just trying to generate as much heat as possible. And when I got back to the house, I'd been thinking, oh, I just gotta get back to the house and run inside, run and get inside as fast as I can. Cause I know that house is warm inside. But when I got back to the house, I had warmed myself up so much. I went to open the door and I just closed it. And I was like, well, I gotta stay out here in this freezing cold to cool off. And I looked, I could just see all this steam coming off. Not like boiling steam, but you know, if you have warm water out in the cold, you know, like steam off. And when I used to go running, when I used to go running in the cold in high school, I would always get back and sit on my mom's front porch and my brother would look out the window and say, ah, it's stink fumes because all this steam would be coming off. So at the end of this run, there was so much steam. It was like, I was just making this cloud of fog all around me. And I stood out there in the freezing cold for like another 20 minutes, just trying to cool off. And while I was standing there, trying to cool off, I mean, I also walked around a little, I know as soon as you're done running, you don't want to just stand, you gotta keep moving a little to keep your blood flowing. But as I was out there, I was thinking, you know, I thought I had to get back to safety, but I didn't have to get back to safety. All I had to do was figure out how to handle it so that when I actually got back to the house, which was safety, I didn't even need to go in, I was fine. And I took that idea and just applied it to so many things in my future, where, you know, when I originally moved off-grid and moved into the wilderness, there was always this little voice that says, okay, at any time you can walk out of the forest, get back in your car and drive somewhere to safety. But once I had that new idea, it was like, no, I don't need to get back to safety. In any place I am, regardless of the conditions, I can do something myself to handle it now, not if I'm dropped in a pool of lava, I'm just gonna get burned up. But, you know, within reason, like whatever situation I'm put into, I can handle it. I can change what's comfortable to myself. And to this day, anytime I face a difficult situation, any kind of roadblock, any kind of anything where one of my thoughts is, I don't know if I'm gonna be able to get through this, I always think back to that point, back to that point when I ran into the freezing cold water and I'm pushing the icebergs out of the way and it's freezing and just unbelievably uncomfortable, like painful, but I kept going and that set the tone for the rest of my life. It's like it created a habit. So now whenever I come up against any kind of difficult situation, big obstacle, I think back to that time and I'm like, oh yeah, I can handle anything. I mean, it doesn't matter how uncomfortable, how difficult it is, that's not a factor. That's not gonna decide whether or not I can do something. So if I'm going down a path and I wanna go this way and someone says, difficult, pain, discomfort, all of that stuff I just go right through, doesn't matter. To have an obstacle that really stops me, like it's gotta be a real thing, not just my feelings, not my fear or my comfort, all that stuff gets swept aside and it has made a huge change, like it's made a huge, not a difference because I can't say it's different than my life was because I've always been doing this. But yeah, it has made a huge difference in the way I approach everything than before I did that. And when I think about all the best things in my life that I have right now, they're all things where I came up to some big obstacle and it said, pain, pain, pain. And I just kept going right through it. And I was like, all right, whatever, pain. Okay, I'm gonna spend a year building my house and it's going to be difficult. I'm gonna be lifting things all day and there's gonna be no rest and it's gonna be hard and painful, but I'm just gonna go. And I cannot, I mean, my favorite place to be in the universe is my house. I never would have done that if pain could have stopped me. And one of the things that I hear a lot from people, I think generally people who are stuck in the idea that you should go toward ease, one of the things I hear from those people often is, oh, it's not worth it. It's not worth it, man. So if, like when I was going on that run and it was so cold and painful, I could hear in the back of my head some people I've known in my past saying, Jamie, it's not worth it. This is not worth risking your life. It's not worth that kind of effort. It's not worth that kind of pain. And what I always say to those people is, look, it's not worth it if you're just looking at this one situation. Like it's not worth running into freezing cold water or running till you feel like you might have a heart attack or exercising to the point of failure. It's not worth it just to do it that one time. What's worth it is to set that tone for the rest of your life to create that habit. And this is what I learned from sports. I mean, track and field, volleyball, swimming, just all the different sports I did. Soccer, I learned that I need to try really hard not to win the game or to score the goals or anything, but to set a tone for the rest of my life. Because like, at this point, I've got so many victories in my past. Metals, trophies, I've broken records and all this stuff. None of that matters. Nobody cares. I don't even care at this point. I mean, it might make some nice stories and stuff now and then, but none of it really matters. The thing that really mattered about all that stuff was just the setting of the habit of putting effort into things. Because now whenever I come up against any task, I don't have to think about it. I'm like, well, of course I put tons of effort. I put excessive amounts of effort into it. All right. What are you guys talking about right now? There are so many. Are you guys talking about when you started watching my videos? Okay, does anybody have any questions? You ever heard of Wim Hof? I have heard of Wim Hof. He does all these cold endurance things, like climbing most of Everest in shorts. I think his technique is mostly mental as well as breathing. Okay. So I don't know a ton about Wim Hof, but everything I know about him is that he's like an endurance athlete. Like he deals with cold and he has some breathing techniques, which I actually do some of that stuff. You know, the hyperventilating and then holding your breath to come back and like just changes your body chemistry. I don't know if it does any great things, but it's kind of good. And you also get that kind of Wim Hof breathing when you exercise. Like at the end of a hard run, when you're still breathing hard, you kind of end up hyperventilating. And anyway, yeah, I've also done lots of cold weather stuff, you know, growing up in Canada and then living in Vermont off grid, I would swim when there was ice and stuff. I kind of wish, I don't know if this Wim Hof guy, I don't know what he actually does with his life, but I think it'd be really, I hope that he uses these techniques to actually do something, not just to be like, hey, I scored a checkbox. You know, I climbed Everest in my short, like climbing Mount Everest, I don't really care about that. Like it's a, it's not really an accomplishment to me. It's sort of like, you know, it's like winning a sport or it doesn't really matter. Like it's bragging rights. That's all you get out of that. I mean, you also put some effort into it, you know, that kind of thing. But I think it's much more valuable to put that kind of effort into something creative, you know, like building a house or creating a new way of life or somehow doing like using it to do things, not just to grab bragging rights. Hey, okay, someone asked, they didn't ask me, but someone asked, has anyone here met me in person? Has anyone here met me in person? Oh, so Wim Hof has been working with researchers to see if what he's doing can increase your, can boost your immunity. Well, that's cool. That's cool. Oh, so Wim Hof wants to help people get out of depression and spread his message. Message, that's cool. Someone wants me to talk about how stupid brushless motors are compared to brushed. Well, I'm not sure if that's a joke or not, but personally, I like brushed motors more just because they don't have electronics. It's easier to replace brushes in a motor than it is to replace the electronics in a brushless motor, but I don't have anything emotionally against them. I wonder what Dashain is doing right now. Hey, Dashain, what are you doing right now? I'm making lines. Oh, someone's got a question here. Oh, yeah, if you have questions, right question at the beginning. So I know because these things go by real quick and I miss them. So Ken has a question. What's your thoughts or what are your thoughts about fasting, like water fasting or intermittent fasting? Well, I'm definitely not an expert on this at all. And I don't know anything about water fasting. However, intermittent fasting from what I understand, if you don't eat for like 16 hours or so, your body kind of like, it like changes modes, like your digestive system, your digestive, why can't I say that? Your digestive system kind of like turns off and is like, okay, now let's do some body repairs. And it's something like it starts replacing, you know, kind of worn out cells and stuff, like if you fast for that much for like over 16 hours. So I don't know that much about it, but I'll buy that, sure. And every once in a while, I won't eat for 16, 20 hours or so. And I do usually feel better after. I've done 24 hours, but I've heard after three days, you're supposed to feel amazing. I have not eaten for three days. And this is the, I haven't done it in a while. So, you know, I don't remember all the details, but basically like at first, you know, there's a lot of hunger and then it kind of subsides and then it comes back. It's like, oh, I'm so hungry. But then eventually like the hunger just kind of disappeared. It's almost like, I don't know, it's like it, for me it was like a day and a half or two days into it, into not eating. Like I just got not hungry anymore. It's like my body said, oh, okay, we're not eating. Okay, let's just relax on that hunger thing and let's just chill and be what we are. And then I wouldn't say I felt amazing, but I didn't feel bad. Like I felt pretty good. I felt fine until my friend wanted me to do stuff. Like I was doing this fasting with this girl I knew and she was gonna ride her bike somewhere just at a very slow pace because she wasn't eating and didn't wanna strain herself or anything. She's like, can you come with me? And I'm like, I don't have a bike. She's like, we'll just run. I'm like, I haven't eaten in like three days. I'm not gonna go running right now. And anyway, I ended up going running for like eight miles after not eating for three days and oh man, I got so hungry. Man, it was like the hungry's just turned on super much. And by the end of that, I was like, get away from me, give me food. And she was like, oh, I thought we were gonna do this four days and I was just like, shut up. Wait, hey, it's Murph. Okay, wait, let me see. Do you have any ideas for beginner project or for beginner adventure builder projects? I must have like a lot of things going on in my head right now because I'm like slurring words and not reading very well. But if you have a question, right question at the beginning. So it stands out and I notice it. Do I have any ideas for beginner adventure builder projects? Like for a beginner adventure builder? I don't know, just anything, just do anything. Like I think actually, okay, I don't have an idea for a specific project for someone who wants to be a good adventure builder. This is what you have to do. First project, figure out something you should do. Like that's a huge part of being an adventure builder, not being told what to do. They're not having someone say, oh, here's the set of instructions of how to be an adventure builder. So follow it step by step. Not being an adventure builder is all about going within yourself and saying, okay, what do I wanna do? And we're not trained to think that way at all. So it's difficult a lot of times to change the way you're thinking and say, okay, let me put aside what I'm being told by like eight billion other people on the planet. Let me just figure out what I wanna do, what I think is the right thing. But once you start doing that, it gets easier. Hey, you came to visit. So I would say that is the first thing you can do if you're trying to be an adventure builders is start really, like just stop doing everything and just go inside your head and try to figure out what you actually want to do. And stop taking steps based on what other people told you and just really, really try to get in there and see what's in your heart and see what matters to you. All right, I see question. Oh yeah, and if I've missed your question while I was answering some question because I'm not looking at the things, just post it again. I'm totally fine with that. You're not being rude at all. Can the ABC have a place where fellow adventure builders can share their adventures? Are you asking like, well, I used to have a website with, what's it called, a chat thing, but it started getting overrun by spammers and stuff. Although there is, there is a thing on Reddit. You know about that. Is that not a good thing to talk about? I mean, it's fine. Okay, I don't know. Well, you can share your adventure builder stories here. I'd love to hear some adventure builder stories. Joel says, make more videos please. I'm trying, man, but I don't want to make videos about just nothing. Like I want to actually have something to make a video about it. I mean, I could make a video every day about nothing in particular, but I want to actually have a point to every video. Did you upload it in the search? No. No? I think you just uploaded it to me. I was just going to put it on Wednesday. Okay, we'll give it to you on Thursday. So if I miss Wednesday, you just bump it to the next week? Yes. All right, I have two other videos at my house that I didn't bring today that I totally meant to. I know, I'm a jerk. What is your cheat food when you go to town? I don't have one. I have no interest in cheating. I almost never get ice cream. You get ice cream. What did you get last time that you came in and said, I got this. I don't know what it was. She came in and you were like, okay, I have to tell you guys. Oh, no, I did get it. I got an ice cream. That was the gelato. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, I've seen the sign for this gelato. I've been seeing the sign for it for years. And finally, and it wasn't open. But finally, I saw this lady open it. I was like, oh, I'll take a dollar gelato. But I wouldn't call that a cheat food. I need to eat something to get the energy back. And most of what I eat, I just bring something with me. And if I get something in town, I never just like I want to have a treat or whatever. I only buy something if I feel like I haven't brought enough food with me. And I almost never get ice cream. Maybe that is my cheat food. Because it has sugar in it. And I normally never get anything with sugar. Oh, okay, I missed some stuff. But here's a statement. I like your videos where you talk about your life philosophy and your thoughts about the world. The project, build videos are cool, but your projects are so specific to your situation. That is true. My projects are specific to my situation. And so the videos where I talk about my philosophy, I've kind of like turned these this Sunday live into that. And I like that because whenever I make a video where I'm talking about my life and philosophy, there's always like a pile of goons who are like, ah, don't back to building things. We don't want to hear this. And I'm just like, oh, so I like doing like a 20 minute thing at the beginning of all these lives. And then we can talk about it and stuff. Because no one's coming here thinking I'm going to be building something. I'm just talking. So I think that works out really well. Hopefully that's good for you. Right. You're not on the thing. I'm working on it to reset tablet. Let's see. If I scroll up, there was a question. I'm pretty sure I missed. My brother's here. What are you doing, dude? Wait, okay. Okay, Mark, my brother. Oh, my actual brother. Why are you living down here, man? Come move here. Stop living in fascist Canada. Oh, Canada's not fascist. It's beautiful. No, it's not. Come live here. All right, all right. The conversation's all right. What do you have there? Nothing? Nothing. I'm trying to think, what else is my cheat food when I go to town? I think it's just ice cream, which I almost never get. I'll get it like once every six months or something. I didn't realize you had a cheat. Yeah, I don't really think of it as cheat food though. Brushless motors are nice, except for, you have to have a fan, wait, except when you have a fan that you cannot service. Yeah, that's what I don't like about brushless motors. Like you can't service them. When the electronics go out in them, you're just like, I can't just go into a semiconductor and fix that thing. Maybe you have to get a new thing. But like a motor with brushes, as long as I have some brushes that are at least the size of the ones in there, I can carve them down and make ones fit or maybe I'll have some backups that are actually the right size, which never happens. Sorry, it's a little slow. Jamie is literally one of a kind, even in person. Really? Oh yeah, Murph has met me in real life. He's the only one who's met me and will still come on here. What you're talking about fast? Oh, I read that one. Oh, that guy remembers watching the banana building and getting those fish boxes. Man, I remember the fish boxes. Some of those stank, except for the grocery store where the guy was like super cool. And he was like, oh, thanks. Thanks for taking this garbage away and he would wash them out and give them to me. Oh, that was great. But then other stores, they'd be like, oh, you want to take our garbage? You're a jerk. And they'd just give me them with like fish guts and them and stuff. And I have to clean them out. Apparently, Mark is making crepes. Mark is making crepes. We had a fight about crepes once. It wasn't that interesting. Oh, Ben asked me a question actually yesterday, or the day before. Ben, who's here? Yeah, he was here. He's here now. Yeah, I know. And he just asked a question again. He's here right now. So just reminded me. And he wanted to know how much do you love it when viewers give you suggestions about your projects sarcasm? I love when I get suggestions. Okay, hopefully this won't come out. It's too much of a dick. Whenever someone says, hey, Jamie, have you ever thought about, and I know that's just a way to bring up a topic. But if I actually literally listened to the question, have you ever thought about, the thing that I've been focused on something for like six months, and someone watches something for like 30 seconds, and they're like, oh, I got an idea that he probably hasn't thought of in like six months. Jamie, have you ever thought of, like, yes, the answer is yes. Have I ever thought of, yes, I've thought of it. Val would like to know. I always try to keep that in mind when I say that to other people too. Val would like to know. Planting fruit trees. I don't know what the question was there, but someone said planting fruit trees would be my first priority because they take a while. Yes, that is a huge priority for me. I'm trying to get fruit trees growing. I would like to know. I'm planning to move out of grade next year. I can be at the land for two days a month to prepare. No, don't touch it. I wanted to just do it. Okay, go. What sort of projects would you consider prioritizing to get the land ready for living? Water? Yeah, water. Well, it depends what the land is. I'm assuming. Yeah, it totally depends. But the thing I would always tell people is. Your basic necessities like survival. No, no, there's something else. Often people want to do this thing where they're living in their normal life and they go back and forth for a while. Often people end up hitting roadblocks doing that because they're halfway in each thing. They're halfway in their old life and halfway in their new life. So I don't know what your personality is or anything, but if it was me, I would not do that much. And when I'm ready to go, totally cut ties with old life and just 100% go into new life. Because when you get there, when you get off grade, you're gonna have tons of do. You're not gonna want to focus on old life. You don't have to worry about all those old problems. And I think that was a huge advantage I had when I first went off grade. I wasn't necessarily thinking about it at the time, but I just quit a horrible job. Well, it wasn't a horrible job, but I was working with a horrible person anyway. So I quit that job and kind of had burned some, well, some friends had burned some bridges with me and I was just like, ah, forget it. And I just left everything behind and went to my new land and I was totally 100% focused on that. And I think that really helped me figure out a lot of things, just having that mental presence. So I would say, I mean, if you're gonna go for two days a month, I mean, don't worry about doing that much, kind of hang out, but really when you actually go, make sure you're there 100%. But yeah, if you're gonna set up something ahead of time, set up water, probably, right? But I don't know, maybe you have water. Is there a stream there or something? Like, it totally depends what the land is, what your situation is. And like if you're in a cold place, and the other thing is you might not wanna set much up if you're leaving it for weeks at a time because you don't want someone to come along and steal it or have some moose knock it over. You know, you don't want it to be destroyed while you're away, because if you're only there for two weeks or two days a month, like a lot can happen between, yeah. What are you doing? I was just resetting the things. I'm gonna look at comments. I know you always tell me not to look at comments. Yeah, but I don't think I know. Will Darling is just saying random words, I'm not sure. Is anyone in your family into spearfishing? Yes, I am. And I found a spot recently where some fish hang out. And the first thing I was about to say, the first thing I said, but I don't think I actually said it because it was by myself. But the first thing I thought was, ooh, that is a good spot for spearfishing. There's enough fish there. And they're just kind of chilling. I could nail some with spears. Well, a spear. So I think I need to get a spear editing, go get some of those fish. Although I did put the fish trap there recently and it's been getting fish. I have to go check it after this. I have just switched that one. Oh, yours is broken. No, this one I just reset and I don't have the rod in it. Yeah, I noticed I tried to log into something on that and it didn't work at all. The shame is being worried today. Okay, question. What do you think of making a solar thermal electric refrigerator? Oh, I think that's kind of a good idea. I actually have one half made. I just haven't finished it yet. Yeah, so right now I have like a, what do you call it, a styrofoam box that I made, glued it together with spray foam. And I think the only reason I haven't really finished the refrigerator is because the styrofoam is not that strong. I need something to put on it to keep it from getting shipped and wrecked. But I have all the guts for a refrigerator. And when you say a thermal electric refrigerator, he might mean a peltier cooler, which is a little square thing that electricity goes into once it gets hot, once it gets cold. But the thing I have is like a compressor. It's actually called a ice box conversion kit. I think that's what it's called. So it's for turning a cooler into a refrigerator. And they make them for sailboats because often sailboats or boats, I mean, there doesn't have to be a sailboat, like boats where you might go fishing or something and people would take a bag of ice and put it in this big insulated cooler that's kind of built into the boat. You can get a kit to turn it into a refrigerator. So I got one of those kits. Someone actually sent it to me, which was great. Thank you so much for that. And yeah, that's all ready to go. And it'll run off 12 volts, 24 volts or 110, which is great because I have 24 volts at my house. And if I make this insulated box, I made it with like thick insulation. If I make it really insulated, you shouldn't use that much power and it should be a good job. I can hear myself talking because Shani just turned on a tablet with this, which is on a delay. How much do you know? No, I already got that one. How much, okay, let's see. I'm actually wondering, Val, what did you think of what I just said about getting ready to live off grid? Does that sound like crap advice or good advice? Or I don't know. How long will you be going to your land for two days a month? I don't think any new comments are showing up for me anymore. Did you turn them off? I didn't, it's just... What do you got there? Stain and Martinez were like, great, okay, hold on. Here we go. She's got stuff in her mind too. Are you happy to sleep today? No. How are you doing? I'm good. Oh, good. Okay, here we are. Jackass says, I planted my flat roof over my lani back porch with bright white elastomeric 25 lani. Yep. Can you read me this? No. White elastomeric 25 year paint, it lowered the temperature in the screened in area of my 15 degrees. Do you need to be cooler? Well, I know, my roof is pretty well insulated with all that styrofoam in there. However, I might want to do it with that anyway. Not that you aren't cool already. I'm super cool, I'm so cool, oh God. Do you watch the reality show alone? Wait, what was the white elastomeric paint? Because I might want to put that on anyway, just to protect the roof parts mostly. It doesn't say, just as white elastomeric 25 years. Oh, I guess I'll just have to look something up. Yeah, the problem is like 20 whatever years. 25. 25 years, I'll have to redo it. Okay, I'll be old enough for that point. Yeah, every generation can do it once. Right. Hopefully the concrete surface will last longer than that. RS would like to know, do you watch the reality show alone? I do not watch any reality show at all. Oh, a little while ago I mentioned that I watched a TV show called Shameless. Yeah. And someone, and I mentioned that it was an English show and someone mentioned that, no, that show was made in Chicago because I can't tell the difference between a Chicago accent and an English accent. However, the original Shameless, which I watched, takes place in Manchester, England, not Chicago. That's a remake. Right. Or it is an American version, but anyway. Yeah, isn't that a remake? Anyway, I watched that a while ago when I was sick and I don't really watch much TV. Okay. Or like basically none. Ken Wasiki would like to know, have you tried night fishing with a light in the water? I've not tried night fishing. Maybe I did once or twice, but I often am out in the water at night and it's really funny to turn a light on because like fish start jumping. One time a fish jumped and hit the boat. That wasn't me though. That was someone else. I try to shine my light like out where they just start jumping around and going crazy. It's really funny. I don't know. Maybe I'm making them die or something. I don't realize that. Damien Martinez would like to know. Wait, I want to know, like if the night fishing guy questioned, do you have any information on that? Like is that good? Like if I stick my line in and shine a light on it, are the fish going to come? Maybe I should try it. But if he has any information, totally let me know. Okay. Damien Martinez would like to know. He says, you once said that the authorities visited my island, have they ever returned and were they even legitimate officials? Well, one was a legitimate official, but he didn't actually say any of the stuff. He was just there to like kind of get them in, but didn't give them any money. And I eventually kind of told them off and they left and didn't come back. Yeah. But the thing is like other people, a lot of people give them bribes to get them to go away and then they just come back, which is stupid. Just put your foot down and say no. And it may be uncomfortable, but yeah, it just fixes the problem, yeah. Well, it's funny that you mentioned that because you know our favorite person Elon Musk. Yeah. Apparently recently I read the news because you know I lay around and read all the interesting. Okay, like. There was a person who apparently made a Twitter account that posted all of his plane departures and arrivals and like the route that they took because there's like a website that follows all planes like on the planet, like where they're going and their destination and stuff. And he offered the guy $5,000 to take it down because he didn't want any like crazy people like following around. And the guy said, no, I'll take $50,000. And Elon Musk said, you know, I don't really feel comfortable with this. So just leave it as it is. And like, you know, but. Shouldn't have even offered him $5,000. I know, I know, yeah. So. Yeah, hopefully he got the message there. Yeah. I mean, Elon, yeah, don't give bribes. Right. So. Yeah. Yeah, that's just right. I mean, anyone looking for bribes, like that's the people we need not in the world. Like those are the people who need to be removed from evolution, but they're not being removed from evolution. They're actually, they have an evolutionary advantage. Advantage, which is why we have so many horrible people. We got to get horrible people. We got to get horrible characteristics to not be advantaged anymore if we want to have any future for the human race. Will Tarling said, asked, what do you think about adding a bunch of polystyrene to existing fridges slash freezers? Seems like it could really help. Yeah, sounds great. The only pain in the butt part is like, like say you have a refrigerator and the cold side's here and the warm side's here. If they're a set space apart and you can't get styrofoam between them, it doesn't matter how much you insulate the rest of it, all your heat's gonna go out there. But if you can, if there's like a pipe, you can bend or something and spread them out, then you can get more styrofoam in there. Then yeah, you could just, just insulate the refrigerator more or whatever it is. I think all refrigerators should be insulated way more than they are. The thing is they're not because no one cares. No one turns the fridge off, generally speaking. Well, it doesn't matter, you don't have to, if you have way more insulation, it doesn't matter if you turn it off, it's gonna stay warmer. And then, I mean, there's also the opening the door and standing there with the door wide open, you know. It doesn't matter how much you insulate it if you're doing that all day. Um, Ben Hansen says, white silicone paint is UV resistant and lasts over 50 years in testing at Forest Products Lab extreme testing conditions. This would be pretty extreme testing conditions, like out in the tropical sun. But Ben says that lime wash is better than elastomeric. I was actually thinking that, like, I was gonna bring some, bring some for my skin. That would be awesome. Yeah. Is it, what do you call that stuff? White wash? Like what they used to call a white wash? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I would, I want to... But you can color it. I want to paint my, I don't care about the color. Actually, white would be good because it'd be more fun to do it. Coloring inside of the, like the... The booger content? Yeah, because if he was saying yellow. Did you just agree to the booger content changes the color? He was saying like where he is and that the color is like a yellowish color to go pretty yellow or whatever or something. It's based on the mineral so it's made out of. So lime or white wash. Lime wash. Lime wash, well, I know it as white wash. It's basically old style cement without the sand in it. Like you cook limestone and we can do that with shells because they're made out of the same thing. You heat up the limestone enough that it changes the chemical stuff in it a little bit. And then you put it in water and it like breaks up and dissolves into the water. And then you have this white liquid that's called white wash or lime washing. And if you put sand in it, then you can use that concrete or you can paint it on something. And that's, well, for so long, I had no idea what they were talking about in old construction things when they talk about white washing something that's painting it with this stuff, lime wash. And it's basically lime. Like it's just limestone that's been liquefied. So you put it on something and you're coating it with what ends up becoming limestone again. So I think that would be a great thing to paint a concrete house with, right? Yeah, that's what I wanna do. I think it would fill in all kinds of little hairline cracks and make a nice hard external surface. Yeah, it's supposed to. And it would make it white, so it would be reflective. Then I could call my house the ivory tower. Ben was saying that in Burbuda, they traditionally limewashed their roofs, but now this dumb expensive, the last American paint is taken over and it's no better as far as he can tell. Yeah, it's so disappointing. Yeah, we have to get rid of the bad people who are horribly advantaged evolutionary speaking. And we need to get rid of the idea that making money makes something right. So all the products we have available now are just the ones that make the most money. They're not the ones that work best because something that works well doesn't make as much money as something that lasts for a little while and you have to redo it and buy more. So whitewash is basically limewashed, but sometimes they add other weird stuff like flour and salt. That does not sound like a good idea. But I don't know, do you guys depends what you're using? Well, I mean, flour is- I don't want flour in my roof. I'm not going to, but I'm just saying like, I guess flour could work because if you're putting other things in it, like salt. Yeah, yeah, you can make paste, I guess. We're right, but you can also make it becomes hard and it's so- Yeah, it's paste too. Like glue. Okay, so lime actually has self-healing properties where it will recrystallize in the cracks and seal them up. Just because it dissolves in the water and then would run and then get in any cracks and stick there, like stay. Aris would like to know, being an islander, do you have a worry of climate change and how it could affect coastal populations over the next century and beyond? Well, over the next century, it's supposed to, the ocean level is estimated to go up possibly a meter. Like that's the high estimate as far as I understand. And I made sure I built all houses well above a meter. Like my house is about two meters above the high tide. Same with yours, roughly. So yeah, it's something I think about. Hopefully, zombie apocalypse will come before then and then most of the people will die and will stop making all this, you know, all the carbon dioxide and whatever, okay? Zombie apocalypse totally fixed it. Well, like I was saying something about this last week, Elon Musk is very concerned that the population is going down because people are having fewer babies. But environmentally speaking, that could be a really great thing, you know? Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Except the old people won't have any, any tensions anymore. So how are things going over at your, on your roof projects? Is that a question or are you just asking that? Because I'm sure people are interested in that. Oh, it's going. Because you didn't post any videos. Oh, yeah, the video, it gave you late, but you're gonna post it next winter, right? Well, it's going really well. I'm just working on the roof on cloudy days now because for a while, oh, because for a while. Should I just not talk? You know, sometimes like, like you just like clashing with the other person, like everything. Yeah, I think that's what's going on. Oh, okay. I mean, it's fine. I'm not clashing like we're in a fight or anything. It's just, anyway. Okay, my roof is going very well, but I'm only working on cloudy days because on the sunny days, I have to use so much water to try to keep the tiles wet and then, you know, cover them up with plastic that gets blown around and all this, it's just a huge headache and takes so much energy to do. And if I just work on it on cloudy days in the afternoon, when I'm pretty sure it's not gonna get super sunny, then it goes much more smoothly. So I'm just waiting for cloudy days now. And I got two cloudy days last week and I got like halfway around a row done. And it was so easy. It was a piece of cake. I put them up and that was it. Moved to the next one, put it up. I didn't have to go back and like, you know, fix cracks because drying out or put water on or anything. Oh, so nice to just go through. So instead of just like trying to bulldoze through and just keep going and, you know, try to make progress even in the worst condition, I'm just doing it when I get the good weather. So that means I'm spending a lot more time working on other things. So I'm working on some digging, like flattening out an area and making a ramp down the side of the hill. And then I'm making like a path where I'm gonna make a bridge to my second island, because my island is actually two islands. Like you can walk from one to the other. It's just you kind of in mud. Or if it's high tide, you'll be in like ankle deep water. So I'm kind of making a path and I'm gonna make a bridge to get to the other island. Because I almost never go there because I have to put my boots on and whatever. My kids love going over there though. Anytime I'm like, hey, you wanna go to the other island? They're like, yeah, let's go to the mud and go to the other island. So it'll be nice when there's just a bridge going right over there. And I'm thinking about what to make the bridge out of. I was thinking I might use the rest of the masts that I got off the sailboat. And I started thinking I could use one of those for a lumber mill. Like it would be really good for that. So I'm not sure what I'm gonna use for the bridge yet. I'll figure it out. Cool. Kim Masiki responded to your question and said, try night fishing with water in. You'll get bait fish and fisher drawn docks especially to docks. I can't understand what you're saying. Sorry. Is this a sentence? Try night fishing with water in. Wait, what does that mean with water in? I guess tide in. Oh, with the water up like with the high tide, okay? Okay. You'll get bait fish and fisher drawn to docks especially with lights. And you get all different kinds of fish too. Okay, cool. What if I just go out in a boat and shine a light? I know what makes the fish do a lot. I guess we'll find out. Okay, we'll find out. Did Val say anything? There's a tons of bait fish at the minimum. Yeah, yeah, I can get lots of bait fish. That's easy. They kind of like hang around my island. Right. Next to the mangroves. Val was the one. You have to turn that to the left. Okay. I'm gonna look up the live chat room. Whoa, did she even get downstairs swearing? Okay. I wanted to know if Val said anything else about, oh wait, thanks Val says, here it is. Thanks for responding. We have a well and a seasonal spring. Oh, you got tons of water. This is amazing for moving off grid. So far we have been stacking river rocks into a big castle for the kids to play on and clearing some land. Oh, that sounds like an excellent start. That's, I would totally, yeah. Totally do that. That sounds like a great thing. Castle gray skull. Yeah, man. Well, you have to make a sword then. You got to make your kids. How many kids do you have? Oh, that sounds like it's such a fun adventure. Okay, that reminds me. If you have kids, get them a sword and a shield. It doesn't have to be like, like it can be a wood sword and a wood shield. But that way, if some squirrel comes up and it's threatening them, then they can be like, ha, ha, I can fight you off, evil squirrel. My kids used to get attacked by one of the roosters, which didn't survive much longer than that. But it was this, our first rooster, it attacked me twice, you know, came up and like, ah, jumped at me. But I just grabbed it and like threw it like a football across the island and it didn't do it again for a week. And then a week later, it tried again and I did the same thing and threw it. And then he just stayed away from me from then on. Never attacked him again. But he would attack the kids and I'd have to go defend them and save them. And they'd run away. And I was like, but I made them wood shields and swords. And I was like, just go fight that rooster. If it comes after you, you fight it. Like it's a dragon, you fight it. Now, I don't know what animals you have or where you're doing the thing. But if you give your kids a sword and shield, it's pretty hilarious to see how things go. It also helps them learn to defend themselves, which is great. What are you eating? Coconut. I brought you coconuts today, okay. I just got it up here on my hand. What are you? You got coconut on your lips. Yep. I'm cutting it. Question. I'm going to Murph Topia's line above. It is up your alley. Let's see. Question before I go. Ever tried the game No Man's Guy? I think it's right up your alley. No Man's Guy. No Man's Guy, it sounds like the guy that's No Man's. No Man's Guy out there. I didn't know that actually. Well, I'll check it out. I've heard of it before, but yeah, I have no idea what it is. I'm guessing probably the first person's true drug. But I know. I'll look it up. Yes. Well, I just turned them on. Wait, what did it say Murph Topia said? Someone said look up what he said. That's what I just said. Oh, okay. Ever tried the game No Man's Guy? I think it's right up your alley. And then Will Darling said, look at his question about it. Yeah, I'll have to check it out. So do you like Half Life? Aira Dill would like to know it's space, game, and building. That's what Will Darling says. Did you send the rooster to rooster sanctuary down the road? Do you want to know what happened to that rooster? Do you? What rooster? I was talking about our first rooster. Rooster? Yeah. I don't want to talk about rooster. Do you want to play games? Did you already talk about it? No, I talked about how I used to attack the kids and I helped them learn to defend themselves. Although the kids were resistant to fighting the rooster. Anyway. You used to stop that. It was a hilarious situation though. Like, yes, it ended in tragedy and death. But can you just play yours? That's fine. I already know what you're gonna say. Just play yours. Okay, so I was out building something out here and I think the rooster attacks. I can just hear it. Attacks to Shayna and like, you know, kind of like, ah, jumped at her. And she was like, hey, and she starts chasing the rooster. And I'm still building something. And it like, I don't know, this must have gone on for like, like five minutes. Just, Shayna's like chasing this rooster like back and forth on the island. I'm like, what is going on? And finally, Shayna's like, where, where is he? Where is he? And then she sees him and then he sees her and sees that she sees him. And he turns to run and he hits right into a brick wall, snaps his neck. And then Shayna cried and said, I killed him. And I said, well, well, okay, yeah, you did kill him. But you know, it was an accident. He was the one who ran into the wall because his chickens are dumb and, you know, anyway, he died. The other rooster though, I totally chopped his head off and we ate him for dinner. It was pretty good, right? Okay, I'm so glad he wasn't around anymore. Yeah, that was the rooster. We hatched him. Yeah, he was the one that cock-a-doodle-doo all night. Pretty much from two in the morning. Yeah. He was like, I'm not waiting for the sun. I got stuff to do. But you know what's interesting that I learned about, I don't know if it's roosters in general or just this one that we ended up with like a few weeks ago, month ago, Hank. Yeah. So once they let Hank out into the yard and he was permanently out in the yard with the other three hens, so two roosters and the three hens in the yard, didn't doodle once again ever again. Really? Was he like, oh, I lost my job. I lost my doodle. I don't know if it's just that he was happy because he was like three. Wouldn't they doodle more if they were happy? I don't think so. Well, you ended up, Hank's back out of our neighbors now, right? Yeah. That's better, please. Is he doodalizing over there? I don't think so. He's out there. I've got a theory about doodlers. Oh, yeah? Yeah, you wanna hear it? Oh. This is for all the conspiracy theorists out there. This one is actually a ridiculous conspiracy theory. But we can take it super seriously. All right, here's the theory. Okay. You know all the companies that sell chicken? You know, I don't know what they're called, but there's companies that sell chicken. I grow chicken in these giant chicken farms. Well, they kind of have like a big hand in breeding the chickens. Like they have a lot of control over the chicken population in the world, right? Now I'm thinking that like 200 years ago, roosters were not nearly so irritating. They didn't cockadoodle do all day or like 4 a.m. and stuff. But then the people growing the chickens who sell in the chickens were like, we need to make chickens less fun for people to own so that we have all the chickens. So they started breeding these really obnoxious, loud cockadoodle doors, which previously they would have been like, oh God, this chicken won't shut up, it's off of its head. No, then they were like, oh, get that one breeding with all of them. We gotta get those spread out through the world. So all the population of chickens throughout the world, all the male chickens are just like, just all day driving people nuts. That way no one can own them in the cities and we can sell those people chickens instead of them having their own. Money, money, money, money, money, money, hey. Wouldn't that be funny that's not how it happens? Wait a minute, that's totally what happened, isn't it? Some chicken guy is gonna watch this and he's gonna get an email saying, hey, hey Joe, this guy just figured out the whole chicken conspiracy. Just don't say anything about it. No one will believe him, everything's fine, right? Rick, we're okay? He's not taking us to court. Okay, can't believe I made you laugh. That's the first joke I've made that you laughed at in like three years. I need to come up with better ridiculous conspiracy theories. No, it's been less than that, you're not? I'm pretty sure I laughed at something you said. You tell me, when I tell a joke, you usually say, oh, I'm laughing on the inside. Oh, it's really funny to me on the inside, I'm laughing. Yeah. But you just laughed on the outside, now I know you can do it. What else you got there? Someone have a question? Someone's like, I know about the chicken conspiracy. And when Negi would like to know, how's the fart tank going? I haven't done anything with it. I need progress on the flame. So people kept pestering me about the fishing for like, what was it, took me like two months, right? And now I'm actually catching fish more. So I'm guessing someone has to mention the fart tank, maybe 30 or 40 more times. And then I'll finally be like, oh, I'll go hook up the pipe and see if it's making methane and doing the thing. I don't have so many things to do, you know? Maybe I'll make a list of all the things I have to do. And then like, I'll put it on the list because that's something I could do like on a day where I don't feel like doing anything strenuous, like trying to rest and chill out a little bit. Because, you know, digging is hard, but like hooking up a pipe. The thing is, I don't want to hook up a pipe and go light it and have the whole thing explode. That shouldn't happen. Yeah. Yeah. That one's gonna be worried about that. Yeah. I can imagine the whole tank blew up. Maybe you shouldn't. All right. This is the way it works. As long as the methane in the tank is concentrated, there's not enough oxygen, it won't ignite. That's why when it goes down the tube, the methane will come down the tube and when it gets out into the air, that's when it'll light. That's why when you light your methane on your stove, the flame doesn't rush up the tube and go to the source. Flammable gas, I don't know. I think it's methane. I can't guarantee that. Anyway, so I have to make sure, well, I'll have to leave the pipe on it for a week or something and just let the gas kind of trickle out to make sure any oxygen is out. Ken is the one that mentioned fart machine every time. All right, Ken. We need more fart machine pressure. I'm just slacking off on it. I don't know what's going on. More pressure. I need more pressure. More pressure on that fart machine. Oh, God. Let me think. There was something else in there, I don't remember what it was. Something else, what? Can I look at your thing? There's nothing new. Nothing new, hold on. Maybe the annoyance of the roosters is a byproduct of them trying to make non-lethargic chickens. That's another way, maybe the chickens are all falling asleep. Maybe when they're breeding them to be calm and stay in their place and just make eggs, they accidentally bred them to be too lethargic. Kind of like in Firefly movie, Serenity. They were trying to get people to be more peaceful and calm but they over-get it and made them so lethargic they just died on the spot except for one-tenth of the population which went psycho-crazy and that's where the reverse came from. So maybe that's what happened with the chickens. The chickens got so lethargic and then they bred the roosters to cock-a-doodle-doo and wake them up all the time to even it out. Yeah, that's probably why. You're making a alarm clock. Well, yeah, just more like, yeah, go, you can do it. Make some eggs, cock-a-doodle-doo. So the other day I went to the river over there. Yeah, that's what it was. And I got some sand. How was your adventure? How did it go? It was pretty good. Yeah, it was a very clear day. I woke up in the morning and I was like, oh, it's such a sunny day and I know I'm gonna need some sand soon. And I don't feel like buying any from any of the crooked people around. And I was like, well, let me just go make a trip over there. I've been to the river before years ago to get sand and rocks. But I just went in my medium sized boat. You know, only got like 10 buckets or something like that. But I got it back to my house and everything was good. It was a very nice day. How long did you say it takes? Took about five hours to get there, load some sand and come back. Just turn it down. Yeah, so it's about two hours to get there, two hours to come back. And I probably spent an hour there, you know, looking around and then get some sand. Which direction is it? That way, yeah. Like, right over there? Right over there. Yeah. To be past it, going into Cherokee Grande. No, you'd have to go off course. Oh, okay. How much sand did you end up with? About 10 buckets. Okay. Sorry, I know you said that, but I just missed your number. You're half asleep today. Yeah, I'm just tired. Oh, you're so tired. Was your baby not letting you sleep again? Yeah, something like that. How's everything going with you? Everything's good. Everything's good? Yeah. Oh, it should break. I wish I could get in the camera over there, if she's so cute, but she's not wearing any clothes. All right, I think we're maybe out of things to talk about right now. Yeah, I think so. I also want to go make lunch and I'm hot. What do you have to make it for lunch? I was going to make hummus and I cooked some onions Have you heard of home biogas? Yeah, that's what the part machine, yeah. You should add to your rich list. It's a little expensive, but safer and you get fertilizer out of it too. No, I think that's what we're talking about. Damien Martinez, home biogas. I'm pretty sure that's exactly what I'm talking about. You get fertilizer. I have been using the fertilizer out of my thing. Is the biogas, well, that definitely not, I mean, it's flammable. So it should be possible to explode the tank, but I think it won't explode as long as there's no oxygen in there because it gets replaced by all the methane stuff. Oh, Will Darling has a question. Can you think of any tools to make? Why are you thinking if you're not gonna read it? To make for your current projects? I used to like how you had to make things in order to make your main thing. Yeah, I'm always making things. Well, I wanted, I mean, kind of everything I'm doing right now is so I can make something else so I can make something else. Like I made my house, so I have a place to do stuff and I wanna make another house with some solar panels on it so I can tower a lumber mill. And I also wanna build a separate workshop so I can build some bigger things, not just filling in with my house. And I have to build a lumber mill so I can cut the wood to build the second floor and the third floor. And I'm also gonna have to make some other tools to move the logs, you know, out of the forest where they, wherever they fall down. And yeah, it's just like everything's like making something to make something to make something. Maybe I should talk about that more. So what's the update with your neighbor who was playing a lot of music? What kind of music will be playing and has it stopped? Oh, it's just garbage-ish music. That's a lot of Latin music. You know, where it's just a lot of screaming. I don't know, this music may be great, but I don't get it. That's a tough one. It has stopped, actually. Well, you said something to his wife, basically, because this guy was playing music. I was very polite. Yeah, you were very polite. Because she's my friend. Right, but he was playing music so loud, like everyone within miles is just upset with this guy. And I feel like a dick because he came here because of me. Like he watched my YouTube videos and was like, oh, I'm gonna move there too. And I was like, okay, cool. Yeah, man. And then he gets here and it's like, everybody hates him. And I'm like, oh. But you didn't know that before he got here. Yeah, but like this guy over here who came because of me too, everyone hates him too. But I'm just like, oh, God, I don't wanna bring anyone else here because everyone hates these people. I mean, including me, I mean, I don't hate anyone, but yeah, he said something to his wife about the loud music and then it got quieter for like a week and now, or like a week or two and now it's basically stopped. Like the loud music has gone. I don't know if he got the hint or something. But yeah, it was so obnoxious. Like not just loud, but like inside my house. That's all I could hear. And yeah, all the wildlife was being drowned out and like all the birds left because they couldn't hear it. I mean, it's just like, boom, boom, boom, boom, but not just boom, boom, like I could hear the words very easily, like inside my house. Anyway, there's a lot of music and stuff, which is great. Because another neighbor we got a little while ago, this was someone who has nothing to do with me. But for the first like two months he was here just like all the time, constant, loud music, so loud. And again, everyone in the area and neighbors are not close to each other here. It's like half a mile between houses, a mile, like it's people are pretty spread out. But yeah, there's nothing to stop the sound and it's just open water. So everyone here, you can hear someone else's music if they're playing a lot. But anyway, everyone was just like, God, this guy shut his stupid music up. But after about two months, he just stopped doing it, which is great. Now he only does it on special holidays a few times a year. And it's like, oh, that's fine. I don't care about that. Just, Will Darling says, question just saying, don't skimp on making tools. You often, okay, so this is not a question. Yeah, don't skimp on making tools. I totally agree. Don't skimp on making tools. Yeah, but this frustrates me when people type the word question and then make a statement. No, don't do that. It's like, then I feel like I'm looking for the question and I'm reading this statement. Form your question in the form of a question. Yeah, and don't use question if you're making a statement. Wait, wait, is he giving me crap about not making a cement mixer? I don't think so. Wait, what do you say? It says... You're faster at it than I was thinking. You often don't build like Princey's cement mixer so you can get exercise. He's just saying... Yeah, he's saying don't skimp on tools like when you didn't make the cement mixer. See, here's the thing. People, I don't know what the experience is. I just heard something smashed down there. But like often people think that you make some tool and suddenly like magic fairies come and do all the work for you or something. But like if I have a cement mixer, then I have to clean the cement mixer. I have to power it. And like the cement mixer isn't just a magical thing that just takes care of stuff. Like I have to pay attention to that too. So if it's not gonna do significantly more work than it's gonna be worth to just have it, then I'm not gonna make it. And I'm generally working with small enough amounts of concrete that's not worth getting out of cement mixer, turning it on, getting it dirty, using it for what? Like five buckets of concrete and then I have to wash the thing. Like I'd rather just mix the concrete. Dumping buckets back and forth or doing it with a shovel. I usually like to dump it back and forth between buckets. Like if I had a big project where I was gonna do a lot of concrete all at once, then yeah, cement mixer might help. But the other thing is like mixing the concrete is such a small part of the whole thing. Like getting the materials there is way more work than mixing it. Once I've got the materials there, mixing the stuff, that's a piece of cake. So to me, cement mixer would be just a tool to just say I have it. Like I wouldn't even use it, I don't think. Insanos says you should send him a pair of headphones. Send him a pair of headphones, yeah. I think it was more of a cry for attention, I don't know. No, they have to cook for a little bit longer, make sure there's water in them. Do either of you miss living in Vermont? No. Although when he just said that, the first thing I thought was, man, that spring water was amazing. That was like the best water, wasn't it? It was. I mean, no water here is fine, it's just rain water. That's good and everything, but man, that spring water was tasted so tasty, so tasty, like good tasty. Not like poo tasty. Well, darling says he understands that about the cement mixer thing. He was just saying that he thinks it would have made good videos to see me make a mixer. Yeah, every once in a while, I think I could make something just to make a video, but that's not what I'm doing. There are tons of people doing that kind of video, like making something just to show to make it. But the point of my videos is to use things, like do things that are really useful, like skip all the, it would be nice if this, and this would make a nice video and pretty and stuff, and just say, okay, what would actually be a value? So I don't know. That's just what I chose to do with my videos. Well, I thought it was interesting watching the way that the local people do cement mixing the other day when it was watching them. That was cool, like how they just laid out the roof. Well, do you wanna explain it? No. Well, they lay out a big sheet of metal, right? I mean, you watch them more than I did. And then they mix a bunch at once. Like do they do a whole bag of cement at once? It's like three bags of cement. They do not do three bags of cement. It was at least two. No, that is too much. That is so much concrete to mix at once. Okay, it was 17 buckets of dirt. They mixed that much all at once? Wow, okay, cool. Dude, I know because I showed up the bucket. So, okay, so they put out this, now that explains why it was spilling off the sheet. So they put out a big metal sheet and they put 17 buckets of rocks and sand there. And then... I'm pretty sure it was two bags of... And then they make a hole in the top? Well, they mix it all together. No, no, no, before they put the cement on. They put the rocks and sand there. That's what we're up to. Right. And then how do they put the cement on? They dump it on. They just dump it on? They don't make a hole and dump it in the middle so it doesn't just dump off the sides? Well, I thought what I was watching them do was mixing it up first before they added the water to it. Okay, okay, okay. You got a sheet of metal already, right? Here's a sheet of metal. Okay. They put the rocks and sand on it. What do they do with the cement? I'll have to go look through the video again. Okay, they make a space, dump the cement in. They don't just dump it on top. It would all dump off the side, wouldn't it? I'm not sure. Okay, when I've seen people do it, they make a hole in the rocks and sand, dump the cement in, and then like mix up the rocks and sand with the cement, and then make a hole in the middle again, and then pour the water in, and then kind of shovel it into the middle and kind of mix it up, and get it mixed up enough that it's thick before it starts running out the side of the volcano. And then you're just like, shoveling it and mixing it up on the sheet. Yeah. Yeah. And that works pretty well doing a whole bunch at once. Yeah, yeah. Like that's a good way to do a floor. It totally did. It worked really well. Yeah. And there wasn't really that much wasted, like what's on my ground right now, that there weren't really that many, like yeah, I wouldn't say they wasted much. I did think about doing it that way for my floor, but I ended up just doing the bucket, it's dumping buckets back and forth, because it's near, and I didn't have a steel sheet I was willing to sacrifice. Right. And then the cool thing was they ended up using the sheet to cover the part of the floor because they didn't have enough of the plastic sheet. Yeah, to keep it in the shade. Yeah. Yeah. So your floor should be in good shape now. It was made like a week and a half ago or something. I think so. Yeah, you should be able to stop all over it. Yeah, yeah, we've been walking on it. Oh, okay, good. I'm just not uncovering it, because it'll just become a giant garbage, messy thing with like the rabbit storm guard and pooping on it. People walk into the mud and I'm just trying to keep it clean, basically at this point. Keep it clean. That's why I like to use the buckets. Yeah. Why? Keep it clean. I don't think the buckets would affect the floor being kept clean at this point. Okay. But yes, I get what you're saying. In Sanos, I spend $20,000 in speakers so everyone can listen to my great music with me. I think you need to sarcastic. Yeah, I hope so. Don't do that. It's not nice. Yeah, it really isn't. To me, it's just like a very selfish thing to do, like making sure everyone else hears what you want them to hear. It's like taking away other people's freedom of ears. Go sit on the party, sweetheart. I also kind of got the impression that it was a cry for attention, like the reason the music was so loud because it was like, hey, look at me, I'm here. Come visit. But it has the opposite effect. Like now everyone just avoids that guy, including me. Yeah. Yeah, it's just gotten to the point where it's like, okay, I wasn't really excited about you before. Now I'm just like, just go away. Question, BK Broiler says. BK Broiler. Are we going? Oh man, a burger sounds great right now. Can we make burgers? Yeah. That was like a hypothetical, yeah. Was that happening? You can make burgers, yes. Okay. Are we going to see videos of the new house build? Yeah, man, I'm totally doing that. Oh, wait, my house or your house? I don't know. This is your channel, I assume. Well, if I'm- Or your house. Yeah, if I'm building this, presuming I'm building this guest house that I think I'm making. Yeah, yeah, totally. Yeah, totally. Yeah, the only reason I didn't show my main house as I was doing it was because I was- The gallery? Well, I didn't want the peanut gallery and I was just working way too hard to worry about editing videos and stuff. But I think that worked out well. I finished it, made a movie about it and then put out all the videos of making it. And then everyone who had comments about everything I was doing wrong. You know, the response is like, well, it's already done, it's all right. Yeah. I'm not going to change it now. That actually brings up a good point is I was having a conversation with somebody the other day and they were asking like- I'm going to keep you. Do you change your plans? Based on? Like based on? What do other people say? No, no. Like I know you put a lot of thought and energy into like thinking and planning, kind of the thing that you're doing before you started so that way you can just do the thing and focus on doing it instead of like doing it on like as you go. Sort of. But yes, I do plan a lot, but I do also leave blanks. Like when I built my house, there was too much to plan all at once because I didn't know exactly how everything was going to go. Like for example, the entire roof. I had some ideas of how I might do it. Enough that I was pretty sure I could do it. You know, build a 40 foot span dome, like two stories off the ground. I was pretty sure I could do it, but I hadn't decided exactly how I was going to do it. And even when I started doing it, I was like, all right, let me just do one row. And then I was like, all right, let me do one more row. So there was, you know, in a lot of things I built, there's a lot of let me see how it goes when I get to that part. I usually have at least some idea of how I'm going to do something, but then I often, I wouldn't say I changed what I'm going to do. It's just when I get there, when I get to the point where I actually have to do it, that's when I solidify in my head what I'm going to do. Yeah. And then sometimes I'll get halfway through something. I'm going to be like, this could be a totally different, cool thing. And then I'll change it, but I can't think of any examples right now. There's a question. Are you going to watch the SLS launch? I'm not sure what that is. Super light spaceship. Starlink satellite. Starlink satellite. I don't know anything about starlink. I don't know what that is. I was just standing on the SLS. It's a super light ship. It's one of those light sails. So they put up this giant foil that the sun pushes on and you're going to go to another star. Oh, okay. That's probably the super light sail ship. That's got to be what we're talking about. Ben Hansen says, I had two projects where I had to mix smaller amounts of concrete and I used your two bucket method. It actually worked great. Yeah, it works great, doesn't it? Using the cement mixer and cleaning it out. Yeah. I don't know the bucket, but it works great. The buckets. Yeah, when you mix concrete with buckets, you just put a bit of water in the bottom, one bucket, dump it in the other one, and swish it around and you're clean. But the cement mixer, yeah, I mean, it just kind of takes a lot of water. And the other thing is with the bucket, even if you wash them out well, you're going to slowly get like a little bit of accretion of material in there. But it's a bucket and it's flexible. You can kind of crack it out but with like a hard cement mixer, you really got to get it cleaned out or else, you know, as it keeps accumulating crap, you know, you got to chip it out with a hammer and stuff. You want to tie it? It's not worth the mixer unless you do it a lot. But wait, there's a moon launch? Yeah, that's what he's saying. That's what it is. Yeah, the last thing. Well, what? I don't know anything about it. Joe Flowmeister asked when it was. Oh, when is it? I don't know. No. We'll see what the answer is. So they wait. Are they sending human beings to the moon? Because they're sending robots and we don't care. But if they're sending human beings to the moon, that's pretty cool. It's the NASA space launch system. Oh, space launch system. Oh, could they come up with a more boring name? Can you imagine the guys coming up with that name? All right, we're going to name this something. How about space launch system? Oh, well, that sounds good. Well, that sounds good. It's usually pretty funny. You mean the BFR? The big furry rocket? Yeah. Come. The big, the big famous rocket. Don't break your phone. You know where that name comes from? The BFR? No. Well, in Doom, the video game Doom, there's a gun. Well, I think it actually goes in Doom, too. There's a gun called the BFG, which is the big furry gun, so I'm suspecting. The BFG comes out. What? There's a book called the BFG? One of the silly furry other nations. What's BFG's name from that? Which I remember now. Well, I know BFG as the big furry gun in Doom II. What's going on with your baby there? She's been like this big, friendly giant. Oh, the big, friendly giant. So it is BFG. Yeah, but that's not what he's named the rocket after. Come here, sweet girl. The big, friendly rocket. I'm probably going to have to go. Hey, come here, baby. She's been kind of like. Come here, she needs some hunts. Oh my gosh, she doesn't need hunts on me. Come here, sweet girl. Why is she so chubby? I think she might be teeny or following or something. She just doesn't feel good. Oh, he says the BFG was in Doom II or Doom I, yeah. Hi. Oh, Joseph Bloatmeister says it's apparently the largest rocket ever built. You didn't even read that. It's right here on the thing. The largest rocket? Well, I got to see that. Yeah, yeah. That's sweet for that. Oh, that Reed Cook says he's so burned all his ammo when he got the BFG. That's the problem with the BFG, man. You could like never use it. And like the only valuable time to use it was like those levels where you were like out in a big open spot and there were like 40 monsters and you're like, ha ha, now I can just mow the lawn. But like when it was spread out so far, it was like it did less damage to the guys. I'm going to go. All right. OK, let's go. Come on. You want to say bye? Question, can you do all the firearm? Yes, we can do all the firearm. I don't know if I want to talk about firearms a lot, though. I don't know what this is going to be. But I can do it. I can do it with firearms. Bye, guys. Bye, guys. Oh, no, you're going to say bye, guys. Here, say bye, guys. Bye, guys. I love your woken up from a nap here. Look, it's you. So someone says I should make a wingsuit and a giant, oh, build giant catapults in both islands for easy transportation. That actually sounds like a pretty cool idea. That would be fun because there's enough water between us that if things went bad, I could just do a water landing. But I think it's more likely that I'm going to build an airplane before that. But I have so many other things to do. The airplane is not high on the priority list. All right, I think we're going to go have lunch. And I need to go wrestle this little kid because she does not seem very happy right now. Whenever one of my kids is unhappy, I usually do something along the lines of this. I'll grab them and say, what's wrong with you? And I'll take them over the bed and stick them down and like five minutes of that. And they don't even remember that they were upset. So I'm going to go do that right now. Oh, we got more questions from a BK broiler. Oh, man, I could totally go for a hamburger. I was just curious if we're going to see any videos of D'Shanna's new house build. Ah, is it on another channel? So D'Shanna has her own channel. I don't show any D'Shanna stuff on my channel. Excuse the kid going crazy right now. But yeah, I mean, I don't know what D'Shanna is going to show about her house. I think she might want to build her house and video as she's going and show it after she's done. Probably because she doesn't want too many outside opinions while she's building it, which I totally understand. Because when you got all these people nattering at you, it's like, whoa, whoa, I'm trying to focus on what I'm doing here. I've got to concentrate. So I think that's what she's doing. All right, I'm going to get out of here. And maybe I'll go make a hamburger, not a BK broiler, but some kind of hamburger. I do have some bread dough I made this morning, some sourdough. Ooh, lots of coconut in it. OK. Oh, Ben Hartley says D'Shanna is going to show her house videos for her Patreon people only until she's finished the whole thing and then she's going to show it. That kind of makes sense. I totally understand that. She doesn't want too many people watching it as she's going. Because the hardest part of doing these videos is just knowing that all these people are watching what you're doing. Because when you're trying to do something, you're trying to focus on it. It can be a real distraction when other people are looking over your shoulder. And even if they're not saying anything, it's like you can kind of hear in your head, oh, that person's thinking that. That person's thinking that. And it's like, wait, I got to not think about that. I mean, I've kind of gotten used to it at this point where I can focus on what I'm doing even with people watching because I've been doing the videos for a long enough. But it totally is a thing. All right. I think everyone's taken off. Bye to everyone else. Oh, someone's got a birthday. Oh, no, you don't have to. All right. OK. Everybody have a good afternoon or morning or evening, depending on where you are on the planet. I think it's super cool that you can talk to people on the other side of the planet, all right. I'm going to go do some stuff. I don't know what I'm going to go figure it out. OK. What do I push this one up here? There you go. There you go. Ready? Are you sure you want to stop streaming? I don't know. Do I sure? I mean, I'm kind of sure.
