- Building A Pole Compass For Easy and Accurate Earthbag Construction
As we begin our first major off-grid earth bag build, we knew that putting together a pole compass would make this go faster and be more accurate. After the addition of this, it's time to start filling some earthbags.

We are Jim and Jessica, a husband and wife team who decided to make the leap from living the city life to an off-grid homestead. We have no training in carpentry or electrical work. We've come armed only with two Permaculture Design Certificates and a whole lot of determination.
Join us on our journey to move beyond a sustainable lifestyle into a regenerative one. We chose to live in the desert because we love the location and we wanted the challenge of bringing this desert landscape into productive abundance.

Fun seeing the tools your building to help aide in the building of the domes
This one was pretty cool to build. I can't wait to use it. Shaving those walls might be more difficult than I thought.😬
Those aren't just rocks....they are 'gabion gold.' By far the most unique and creative off-grid build on UA-cam. So glad you're not just another long-bearded hipster hillbilly-wanna-be trying to notch a 6x6 for a post and beam shed. Go earthbags!
Lol! Thank you! We're excited about exploring earthen building.
The Rain is here.. ☔ ☔ And the Plants are going Outside!! Cool Video.As Always. Tfs. Happy Monday
Are you getting rain their too. We got more with more on the way. 😬
Thank you Mrs. Linda. Happy Monday as well.
Always nice to have the right tools for the job.. Have a wonderful day you two..!!
Thanks Ron! You too.
Looking forward to seeing you build this water cistern. Quite the build it will be!
You were cracking my kids up with your antics. Yes, we are going to build one too.
That's awesome! Thank you!
@@ourselfreliantlife We're in Arizona as well, but up north in the mountains. I love the tank. It looks like a great idea. I'm thinking a couple of large tanks and an overflow like that is excellent. Great lid too. No chance of collapse or possible drowning. I'm impressed with your ingenuity.
As always, best of luck. You two are a force to be reckoned with!
Thank you!!
Lot of work fantastic job you have everything under control😊👍
Thank you Abigail!
you guys are very creative at making your own tools and doing it inexpensively. Really looking forward to seeing the first soil bags getting laid.
Thanks Joey! I think making all these tools has been an amazing experience so far.
When you build the tank make sure you have no dead space and can drain out 100% of the water. Put down sand for a barrier to the ground for the liner.
Very interesting. The par that interested me the most was the hair cut. 💺💈NonnaGrace
Thanks Nonnagrace! Got to keep it sharp.😃
Going to be interesting to watch the tank build especially the above ground part...
As well as the liner
Good job, Jim.🥰👍
Thank you!!
I love how excited you get when it rains
Lol! Thanks Linda. Rainwater harvesting is such a big passion of mine. I've been wanting to set up a system like this for a while. Seeing in action always gives me a thrill.😃
Maybe think about making the bottom a little lower on one side by your entrance above..
So at a point in time
If there becomes a need to completely drain the tank it should be easier...
(Lets say to clean the bottom)
(Or lets say to search for a leak and be able to install a patch)
Things are on the go ahead 👍
Great tool built! Can't wait to see how you use it. Great haircut and t-shirt too! 🐶👍😀
Hopefully with any luck we'll be using it in a couple of days. 🤞 Thanks Yvonne!
Wow that’s so cool! Doing it yourself is so satisfying! Thanks for sharing this my friends!
Thank you Dominic!!
Crew is always in attack mode. Hair cut came out good. Was thinking Jess would Mohawk ya. LMBO. Keep up the good work! Lots of digging no doubt! Pole compass project complete!
Thanks CB! I was going to have her shave it, but I guess she likes a little hair on top.😆
Wow, you have quite a monumental task ahead of you. It's going to be an amazing accomplishment when finished. Looking forward to watching more and more and more and...
Thanks Jay! Right now I can't even imagine how much work this will be.😆
@@ourselfreliantlife
Less when it's behind you
Can't wait till home build project guys
You may have a water filled hole (pool) instead of a water tank. Lol. You both, work so hard on the property. Take care.
Thank you Judy!
I'm envious you are getting a tan already Jim! I also have tank envy! :) The hair looks great!
Thanks Carlton!
Looks like a cool tool!
Great job, I like how resourceful you are. Have fun digging! And use those rocks for something fun too! 👍🏻😁
Thank you! We already have plans for the rocks.😁
I have to keep my hair short. I like the high and tight. I cut my own hair. You have to hurry before the summer heat gets there. You could start at 4 AM when summer heat hits. Several thousand people like me, we are cheering for you.
I think I will have to get started earlier. Work later as well.
I'm shooting closer to your hairstyle. 😁
Folowing u from saudi arabia
Keep going
Will do! Thank you!
Jessica! GREAT haircut!!! Oh yes, and your work is impressive too Jim lol, but Jessica, wow, you're really talented!! (You too Jim, of course and Crew too. Nice of yo to watch mom & dad work so hard hehe) 💗💞🌸
Lol! You got it right. Jessica is the one with the talent. I'm just the hired muscle. 😆
Thanks Michele!
@@ourselfreliantlife LOL 💗💞
super cool can't wait to see it all coming together
Thank you John!
I'm still excited. I know it's going to be a while. And be careful with those fuzzy caterpillars they can punch a quite a sting.
Thank you! I'll be careful around the fuzzy critters as well.😁
Awesome video, as always! Sending love and blessings your way! XOXOX ❤💕😘
Thank you so much Lisa!!
My dad had us boys collect those smaller than grapefruit rocks, build a form like for concrete (leveler) and then we laid the rocks flat to create cobblestone patio. Pour thin concrete around rocks after laid (like laying tile)
That's definitely an awesome use for rocks.😀
Nice hair cut ..
It will be very interesting to see how the pole compass works ..
Have a good evneing GDP
Thank you Dan!
Great tips always enjoy your builds and how to sledgehammered that like button
Jim... try a hammer drill with a 4-inch Spade! You can carve and shave whatever you want what shape you want.
Harbor Freight can help you with that.
I have a demolition hammer. That's a good idea. I need a spade bit though.
Harbor Freight!!!
If you will do plate your spike for the demolition hammer you have a automatic tamper!
That was supposed to say weld a plate on the spike.
Hey Jim - aren't you glad that the backhoe dug the hole now? Watch those walls! Take care.
So glad! Take care as well you two!
Green Dream Project we have another day of high winds and then a promise of rain - we’ll believe when we see it coming down. We need rain to refill our water catchment ...
You guys are killen it!:)
😃Thank you Roberta!
Been getting caught up on videos it's looking good yall progress is moving!
Thank you Michael!
Definitely a solid start to the cistern! And good for momma cutting your hair! I haven’t had my hair cut at a shop in probably 8-10 years. 😀👍
Thanks Joe! She's been cutting my hair for years now. It definitely saves time and money. 😀
Smashed it 👍👍👍
You're awesome!!
Ah man come on Jim grow it out lol. I’ve gone almost 4 years without a haircut. Another year or two I might be challenging Jessica to a measuring showdown 😁👍
Lol! I wish I could. Feels nicer in the heat. 😁
Man you are building and digging a lot of stuff. Haven't seen Jess cut your hair in a long time.
Got to keep building!!😀 Thank you!

Clamped to the horizontal pole, might make it easier for some to use
Maybe for your avacodo tree and any thing else in need try

Im seeing maybe
A start of a rock wall entrance into your hacienda
I/we understand that at this time (during your build)
Your time is being consumed accomplishing what ever project you're working on..
And making videos for us to watch takes a lot of time...
That being said..
Though all of your things being built are interesting to me..
Your water tank build is of special interest... As I have been thinking of a very similar build..
Maybe in one of your posts
You can include the specs on the pond liner you are using plus where you purchased it
Also info on pond underlayment..
Thank you
Jessica 👼and Jim 😥
For your time..
P.S. please the diamentions of the earth bags (misprinted bags) you are using..
And where you located them..
😊😊😊👍👍👍👍👍
Hey Jim. If you can send us an email. You can find it on our about page. I can give you more info that way.
Good video. Looks a good tool. Is that the new summer haircut. That dirt work looks like it's going to be hard. Have a great day.
I'm all ready for the summer.😀
I think I heard some Hulk action going on at the end there 😂 Nice haircut 👌
Thanks Amber! Sometimes you need to get a little angry when taking down a wall.😆
I love your DIY ambitions! Crew eating leftovers 🤢
Dogs!🙄😂
For some of your viewers thinking of building using earth bags...

Don't you know cutting your hair saps your strength? See Sampson & Delilah. Nice to see such visible progress my friend!
Lol! Hmm, I wish I had know that before.😆
So much work ahead of you. If you mentioned what the new tool does, I missed it. Okay, enough with reading comments. Get back too digging. I'm sure you have some lights you could set up so you can dig in the dark.
Thanks Patrice! It measures the inside diameter of the bags.
I'm hoping you post at least some pictures of your builds in progress..
Something quick to post..
We all know your builds (filling earth bags)
Is going to keep both of you extremely busy.. And tired..
Just remember we are all excited for you..
Thank you Jim! We'll keep people posted.
Use the rocks to build a Gabion wall.
That's always a possibility here.😃
You Didn't Think You Could do that without more DIGGING did you ! I'm Going to Give you a New Nickname !! DIGGER ! Lol ! Ok Digger Nice Job !
Thank you!!😆👍
That creepy doll cursed the avocado tree :( Time to get diggin again!
Always digging.😔 🤣
Is it easier to swing the pick ax when you roar? :) Yet another great tool! Cant wait to see the tank done and all your tanks filled!
I don't know if it's easier, but it certainly feels better. 😆👍
I think I need to take haircut lessons from Jessica!😂 Nice tools! Nice pit! I can’t wait to see the big cistern! Are you still using pharaoh cement?
We might still use the ferrocement for the roof. The walls will be earthbag and we may do an earthen plaster on the outside.
Thanks Pam!
Hi guys 🙋
Hey Sherry!
There's another specialty tool buy your own two hands.
Jim. To bad your name isnt Dan
Than you could be
Digger Dan. 😎
When no one else can
Digger Dan Can. 👍👍👍
😆😆😆😆
Lol! It does have a nice ring. 😆
Cra-Zee as always. Curious as to why you chose not to use the old school chain option that would adjust in /out as your walls heightened? Edjumikate us. Thanks. Is that a new 'Crew' T-shirt from The GDP Tee selection? I must have missed it on my last tour of your site. LYMI
The chain compass is good but I don't think we can use it on any of our builds, especially this one. The walls will be vertical.
Thanks Mack.
Fuzzy wuzzy caterpillars .. haircuts .. pole dancing .. wherevwill it end .. 🤤😂🤣😂
This might be a stupid question, but did you consider just putting the liner in the hole without the earthbags?
We'll be going higher than ground level, plus we need a wall to attach the plumbing through.
mmm
We have plenty!😆
@@ourselfreliantlife Let me know if you find any good ones =D
Hey GDP! We are currently constructing a 15ft diameter EB dome that we will eventually berm into the ground. For the outer surfaces that are not Bermed (such as near the door) we are interested in doing the “lizard skin” finish that cal earth uses that looks like a bunch of goosebumps. Hopefully you know what I’m talking about. Do you know the recipe for that finish? I believe it is just cement stabilized earth but I thought you might know. If you do please let me know!
Thank you!
No, unfortunately I don't know their recipe, but I'm almost positive they use cement. I think they use cement stabilizer quite a bit of the time.
Green Dream Project yeah it must be cement stabilized earth but I can’t find the recipe anywhere! Oh well, experimentation right? You guys have a huge project ahead of you! Looking forward to watching the progress!
You're out there in a tank top and I have to layer up to go outside. What's up with that?😁
It changes from the morning to night. Bundle up in the morning, tank top by noon, then bundle up in the evening. 😆
It's clear your mother never told you to stop playing in the dirt and getting all dirty.
Lol! She did not.😆👍
I just shaved my noggin this morning too Jim LOL! Every 2 weeks here. #4 clipper ;)
DID YOU COMPOST YOUR HAIR?
Yeah, we compost just about all of our waste. Hair, nail clippings, all that goes in the compost as well.😁
@@ourselfreliantlife I was pretty sure you would, but just double checking LOL!
👍💪✌️

Who's your barber?!
What kind of dog is it ? is it an Akita ?
Yup! An American Akita to be more specific. 😃
No gym needed Jim.
Lol! Definitely not.
👍👌❤🇨🇦
Ok. Why so much water? is just you and your wife . Plus you hardly take any showers lol
More showers!?🤣👍
You can never have to much water
Who knows the future
Droughts
More plants/trees
More animals (maybe goats or??... to keep vegetation trimmed down)
Family or friends coming to visit. Or. ???
Fires
Just some security for the unknown future
Did you feel the earthquake
Nope. When was that?
Crew, leave that puke alone 🤮
Ok I’ll be waiting to see the final product.👍
Dogs!🙄 This build is already physically demanding and I haven't filled any bags yet.😆
Thank you!
Wish there was less personal stuff and more explanation
