I used to live in BC; A couple hippy buddies and myself knew an old dude with 10 acres of INSANE (but completely inaccessible) land, out on one of the small islands surrounding Vancouver Island... it was 2 ferries, and a 4 hr hike through the woods, just to get there. But over the decades he owned the land, he slowly added amenities that made it the most unique and beautiful place I've ever spent time in my life: it started w a small cabin, then a huge outdoor kitchen/ deck (including old school wood burning stove); 4 old claw- footed bath tubs, lined out on the shoreline of rocks (which we filled w ocean water, built fires beneath, and had heated baths with probably the most majestic view of the west coast possible); a built in, stone lined shower (carved into hillside, and lined with chunks of slate), heated and powered by 2 barrels of water, river filled and heated with camp fires, 50ft above shower, to send down pressurized, warm water (though it was a solid 2 hr effort); FINALLY the first summer the group of us was there, we built a 4 story "tree house" that became our residence for the following years.... The following 2 summers, we selected massive areas of the woods (typically half prepared by trees naturally fallen in convenient layout); then, using this "huegelculture" method (and an IMMENSE amount of time and energy), we produced 4 enormous beds that we eventually grew beautiful crops of "medecine" ; ) ... one of the most memorable periods of my life. I wish every decent human being had the opportunity to spend a week out there. Life changing.
Love that you are working with Epic. I respect him and what he’s done so much. I believe in what you are doing at the lab and on the experimental property. Cannot wait to watch what you do next.
2:45 be very careful when working with bone dust, that stuff is a nightmare on your lungs! You want to be around for your kids and grandkids as long as possible!

I wish you would have made the videos longer, and would have said tips for a compost pile. Love the videos though
Is it possible/good idea to put bones in the outer drum when making the biochar? I figure it would save having to light two fires at separate times.
I'd for sure join this compound lmao

Agreed! This is just used for our gardens.
Man's going to make a compound
Did you guys stop the 30 days series?
Nope! New video releases today :)
Where do you guys get the pig and deer bones for your bone meal?
❤ keep up the good work
