      You couldn't keep that dog out of the dam! He was all about his swims. If there was someone even near the dam he would just jump in.

      @buddhamack1491 6 років тому +9

      It would wrok in winter, people are just too used to the comforts of modern life. Nothing wrong with warmer blankets. It wouldn't work as a caravan because of the shape, it would have so much drag from the front porch bit.

    • @HabbeningNetNews
      @HabbeningNetNews 6 років тому +3

      Buddha Mack I'm interested in building one of these myself, seems very functional with minimal material use. Maybe use thicker canvas or quilts like in a yurt inside the wagon for colder weather?

    • @mheermance
      @mheermance 6 років тому +9

      @@HabbeningNetNews In the American west shepherds lived full time in more rustic versions of these wagons. They would place wool blankets on top of the wagon, then cinch the canvas down tight. With a wood stove they would be quite warm.

    I love how this tiny house design is both incredibly impractical in its super small size, low height and overarching shape yet practical enough in its other design elements that it works for the owners fundamental needs. And this design really shows the value impractical design can have in how the owner interacts with the space and structure and how the structure integrates the external environment into the space. Super great episode...

      Astroflight - why bring up commercial value if he made it for himself?

    • @livingbig
      @livingbig  7 років тому +30

      It really is. I've seen it done on a few permaculture properties and it's a great way of heating water. Witch compost getting so hot, the water coming out of it can be scalding so you have to be careful. I'd love to give this a try one day.

      compost piles are known to catch fire so be careful where you put them and turn them often.

    • @SomeoneBeginingWithI
      @SomeoneBeginingWithI 6 років тому

      I knew decomposing material could get very hot, but I'd only come across it before as a problem, farmers needing to keep their straw and hay piles dry or the can burn in the fields from the heat. Large compost piles are definitely something to be careful with for that reason, but it's exciting to hear of people using that natural process to their advantage.

    • @ShawnVanden
      @ShawnVanden 6 років тому +2

      I've never really thought it would be feasible, but compost piles of any kind could become a well-spring of heat generation for communities of homes/farms or businesses in the future. Especially farms where animal waste is collected/contained.
      The ways in which one can recycle/re-purpose & utilize one's "waste" or "byproducts" to create something else useful could very well help us save ourselves from ourselves. Great point Charles H. !

    I want to live in that full time. Just beautiful! It will fit perfectly on top of a mountain or an island. You can even make it on a boat platform. Just super cool and awesome. Finally a dude with taste!

    Wow!!!!!! That is stunning! Such a unique, literally thinking outside the box design. Very inspiring. When you make your best-of video for 2018, it’ll be tough to beat this one!
