I would rather have a vibrant world I don't need than NEED a vibrant world I don't have. Put that skin in the game.

Good review. Thanks.
Electric quad?
No. Unfortunately I am incapable of supporting that type of machine, yet. There are uses for gasoline powered machines due to the ease of infrastructure. Carry gallons of fuel with you! In fact, I use a gas powered chainsaw for my milling. I suspect there will be other things. Propane for example is an excellent fuel for long term storage and it's terrific for cooking. I do intend to build the infrastructure needed to support an electric ATV and electric snow vehicles as well as cooking. That takes a lot of kilowatts which is challenging to carry around with you. Gasoline powered machines are not fossils yet AND they, in general, still produce more HP per CC but the applications where you 'must' use gasoline are shrinking. I have attempted to use my ryobi 18 inch 40v chainsaw to mill with and failed. The failure wasn't due to lack of power but rather heat. In order to mill with electric you will need more batteries and more patience and it will be somewhat slower, but it can be done. My personal attempts make that clear. In a grid down situation a sound and robust battery powered arsenal of tools is a force multiplier.
So just wondering when that L Ion Battery is done and a new battery cost more than a whole new splitter? This is the Electric scam.
I appreciate your comment but your premise is untrue and flawed, let's examine: The splitter tool costs $899, With a 4ah Battery $999. This is hundreds of dollars cheaper than an equivalent gas power machine with a much smaller weight and profile. The battery alone costs $179. Electric wins the acquisition cost. The batteries can be recharged several thousand times before losing any of their capacity. For the sake of this break down let's use 2500 cycles. A 4ah battery will power this tool for several hours continuously before needing to be recharged. This is roughly equivalent to a gallon of gas in a gas machine. A gallon of gas is, currently, about $3. Therefore, to use a gas powered machine for equal time the fuel cost will be about $7500 [$3 x 2500 gallons]. $7500 will buy about 42 batteries. Electric wins the fuel cost. Agas powered machine will require a lot of maintenance over 2500 gallons of gas. A brushless electric motor is FAR less complex than a gas engine and will require virtually no maintenance [cleaning and care]. Electric wins the maintenance cost. This is not a scam, it is a sound financial decision. Using solar power, this machine is a free to operate fire and forget solution. A one time cost that is more reliable, will last longer and is far cheaper to run than a gas machine.
@@humansustainability It will always be hard to dissuade the cultists and conspiracy nutjobs. You gave it a good shot, though. I bought this unit (here in Canada) last week. Loving it, along with a 40 Ryobi blower and Ryobi 40v weedeater. The 40v platform is real nice.
@@user-pp4ve6qo1b I agree that the 40v platform is a good one. Ryobi really leaned into that line with a LOT of tools. I have yet to be disappointed with any of the 40v tools I've bought. Never needing gas and mixing gas and the noise and and and... is a real big plus in my opinion. Add a solar generator and these tools will run for, literally years after a single fiduciary input. Thanks for watching! Stay safe from the upper mid-west of USA
The real scam is the education system that puts out dummies who can't look up what a battery costs.
I can see some food in there! Thanks for sharing
Comment for algo. I move turtles out of the road too. I hunt and fish for food, but I still feel bad whenever I squish a turtle, or a different animal, accidentally
Total agreement. Animals are food but that doesn't mean we should kill them indiscriminately. In fact, when fishing or hunting, I only harvest what I personally will eat (or preserve) and release everything else.
If this were my forest, I would sell these trees and have them handled by professional people with professional machines. It is impossible for one person to do tons of work🙃
24.5 standard football pitches,I would be happy if I had 0.5🤣
It takes time and patience and a fair amount of good luck! Choose your path and then walk it.
how many acres did you say you had?
43.25 acres that's roughly square shaped.
Wolf?
😉
@@humansustainability It's amazing how you can live alone in the wild for a year and shoot 123 videos🤔
@@weili-kv3lm I don't live on the land yet but I want to!
What even is your plan for the lot? To me it looks like you've been downing trees for a couple of years and just left them to rot in the ground.
I have talked about "the grand plan" in great detail many times and in many videos but, in short, I'm building a homestead. The area in this video is the "parking lot", a staging area for equipment, gear and supplies. As for the downed trees being left to rot? All I can say is you must be new to the channel. If you have real interest, and I hope you do, you can watch every step of the journey starting with playlist 22.
@@humansustainability From my personal experience I can say with full confidence that if you let an Aspen trunk sit still for a year after being downed, its just no good anymore. When it comes to milling those logs. Do you even have a ripping chain? Because if you don't, then you're gonna burn out your saw very quickly.
@@KK19825 I really enjoy your engagement in my journey! It is also very obvious to me that you are new to the trek. I encourage you to watch my entire suite of video's before being so critical of a single sample. These trees that you see in the background of a SHELTER video are building material that I will be working in the coming season. If you are here on my channel to critique me I welcome that as long as it's a well thought critique... I would love to have a conversation with someone who understands the difficulties of staking a pole in the ground within RAW land. Speak to me about item's I've already covered as if those considerations are the only thing to consider and I will rapidly place you in the bucket of "attention seeker". Please don't be that shallow.
4:03 Why not put the webbing round the tree an extra turn first? That way you may be able to shorten it.
That's a good idea. I had considered "taking up the slack" in that way but decided against it due to the added complexity of adjusting the height of the ground
Looks really heavy what does that system weigh?
I looked it up your Kit with Rainfly and Insulated Pad: 7 lb 10.5 oz / 3472 g (My as well say 8lbs) That is WAY to heavy for a pack. Ok for car camping. This is without sleeping bag. With Dan Durston's tent I run only weighs 2.2 pounds now toss a pad in it and that weighs 3.2 pounds with my quilt 4.2 pounds in total. The pad that comes with yours is R3 Which is horrible for winter. Do not attempt to sleep in cold temps with that. I run thermarest Pads R7 and they are good for -20. Pads run with a R rating. The higher the number the colder you can go. Search my channel for "Ultimate Sleeping Pad Showdown: Exploring Tent Pads for Your Best Night's Sleep!" I explain pads in compete detail. Yeah its good for car camping but not for a backpack. oh also with my tent its a 2 man and my German Shepard can also come in my tent and get out of the bugs. The pads they are offering with this setup is to much weight over 2lbs just for the pads. A NEMO Tensor Insulated pad weighs 1 pound with a R value of 5.5 Which is great for fall or spring. Summer is ok too. But when it gets cold I switch to the thermarest r7 pad which takes me to -20 When you lay on this pad you feel the heat coming off it right away.
This is the Haventents Safari which is their largest offering and weighs 12.5lbs for the tent and pad. The accessories add another couple pounds. Their smallest tent weighs half that
I am so pleased with your audit of the progress you're seeing! Just from your sharing of real world germination you have become my goto resource for howto and what to expect! Thank you Self Reliance for sharing the progress you've seen and sharing the knowledge you've gleaned! I love you for it, please continue to help the community!
Where are you out of? You look like you're in my area. Right from the beggining I was wondering what you were thinking and if you knew what you were doing. You can put more weight on it if you want to but what you will find is that it is still too small and will clump up with plant material and will even become less effective. As plant material is packed into it it will just slide right across everything. If you want to drag your road then you basically need a drag harrow at least three times longer than with weight on the front of each segment. You can buy attachment lengths to connect. A drag harrow like that will only work when the road is straight dirt or gravel and you use it to smooth out or grate your road. You can attach tires too it too! If you get enough weight on there or do it enough times hopefully it will start killing the plants to where you can start to get contact with bare ground.
You make good points, no doubt. The road is going to be one of those things that will need nearly constant maintenance for years to come.
@@humansustainability Are you northern MN?
@@steveklick I'm familiar with that area yeah 😃
You're not "old and lazy" as you put it. You're a comfort seeking boomer that has no idea about what you're doing.
This is just the saddest youtube channel I have ever seen. If you're trying to mill lumber with a battery powered chainsaw and a conventional chain, it kinda shows that you have no idea about what you're doing. I'm not trying to be mean but i'm just saying that you're never going to build a homestead if you don't take the time to learn things.
It's work. But it's fun. People say to me "you're not a young man any more". They're correct. Even if I don't finish I enjoyed doing it. Better than sitting around doing nothing. Will be checking in.
I think that might be a generational thing? I know that I always feel better about everything after a few days of physical labor. For some reason physical labor done for your own benefit clears the mind, centers the heart and replenishes the soul.
luv this. not everything works perfectly!
You've got a lot of material to work with. Make the best of it.
That was the plan when I brought all those trees down last season. I've got a lot of milling to do so the chainsaw is gonna get a workout this coming year!
@@humansustainability I do understand!
👍
People in Taiwan have lost their homes. Hope they prepped their INCH bag before hand.
Sir How heavy is your bag with all that gear? Very good gear
Everything shown plus a tarp, blanket, hygiene kit and document bag comes in just under 60lbs. There is an additional weight consideration for a sidearm [3 reloads] and rifle [6 reloads] so an additional 30ish lbs. This is heavy bag that not all people are capable of carrying for distance. Please assemble your bag according to your personal fitness. It is useful to walk about 5 miles with your INCH bag to ensure you can judge your ability to carry it. Assume 30 miles/day if your in a hurry to your bugout location.
Current situation leans towards the need to get away from the house and not return. Your approach makes a lot more sense.
radio is dangerous. there can and will be a wave impact through it... best survival knife tomahawk no documents needed in hell
Great video - Your math was wrong though and I think you will get a chuckle out of it. 7 million at 10% interest is 700k per year not 70k. I think you can live just fine off of that haha.
In this series, a member of the Human Sustainability community will be showing you a step by step process of germinating, planting, growing, harvesting and preserving locally sourced food. This is not the only solution, but it is a proven and well researched approach to add food security to your skill set with the ability to scale as needed.
Great job man , I realy apretiate your work with put something like this together. By the way are you an fan of the youtube channel Canadian prepper, because I did not see many videos with silky nata or silky katana boy in one survival kit together?
Thank you! Yes, I watched CP for a long time until he became more marketing and sensational. He did turn me onto the silky saws and they are great. I've used them to clear paths, trails and roads with ease. They are the best folding saws I've ever used. A little pricey but buy once cry once, they are good saws.
Cool set up atb
If you really are planning on 'Never Coming Home', then might I suggest that you learn how to build a fish trap rather than rely on standing at the riverside using a fishing line - you can drop a trap into the river and then go n do some other vital jobs and let the fish catch themselves. Also; a few of those Yo-Yo automatic fishing reels, and learning how to make deadfall and snare traps, would be a good idea. Toilet paper tabs would soon run out, so I've packed a couple of packets of dish cloths which can be used for the clean-up job and then washed out and used again. Toothpicks can be made from slivers of wood at any time and cloves are great for dealing with toothache. I cannot stress enough how important fire making equipment is - I'd advise having six inch ferro rods (I have four of them), plus knowing how to make fire the old way with flint and steel and also bow-drill friction fire, is absolutely essential. Water filtration and purification; A fire to boil water might not be possible in a non-permissive environment so I have a few Sawyer Mini water filters, plus I use potassium permanganate crystals instead of purification tablets, since you can purify many Many times more water with this than you can with an equal weight of purification tabs. Concentrated Potassium permanganate solution is also a very powerful disinfectant. Other than all that, I'd say you're ready to go 🙂
I would add a tin of Badger Balm and some chapstick.
good suggestions. The first aid kit has equivalent items but I didn't dig that deep into those smaller kits. I agree, those types of items are generally overlooked and should be sited explicitly.
yeah, i think that brush cutter is better than an axe or a machete
i've played the long dark game (a indie game about human survival, just google it) so it's similar (maybe)
Are you the prepper podcast dude?
This is my first video and I'm so happy i found you thanks to the algorithm as well, I'm 28 and lately I'm turning woke and this was the kind of talk i needed it was so thought provoking I'll surely be hearing all the videos. At first i thought that this video will be about human impact on the nature the sustainability of this earth but it took a different turn and I'm ok with that too but still i would like to hear more on the sustainability topic as well.😊
I'm very pleased this helped you. There is certainly an aspect of human impact on future sustainability and there are many docuseries about that subject. I believe more people are seeing the impact personally and are becoming alarmed about their own future sustainability. Impacts to the Earth sure, but also impacts to themselves. The system we live in is incredibly complicated and interwoven. You can see everything from the beginning if you start at the 22 playlist th-cam.com/play/PLQMONt5GLVzDGple-vJrgRP0Iy_cVi_mi.html 🤠 Stay safe!
Great setup. I have the same radio however during a storm it doesn't pick up the stations very well unless you add a clip on wire antenna
Inch implied long term, so you need tools, repair and maintenance, food provision. You need at least one large bush pot for cooking, metal mug, eating utensils, metal grid. Sewing kit with fabric patches and sock yarn. Fishing net and line. Snare wire Camp footwear so you dont get trenchfoot An entrenching tool. A drill/wood boring auger Crook knife for making bowl, cup, containers. Salt. Small containers and food bags. I would opt for a bigger chopping tool for construction and a smaller cutting belt knife. A separate small kitchen knife. More notebook and pencils. Some inspirational reading and informational manuals. A mule or bicycle with trailer to haul it all.
Love the wildlife
Dont foreget Water tabs bro
Instead of carrying so much gear, why don't you bury emergency cashes around multiple areas you might go to. And having a bicycle with a repair kit as part of an INCH bag is essentially, in my opinion.
Eat your fruit! And stock what you can - don’t forget water :)
good advice!
I cannot wait to see the completed platform. Thankful no injuries.
Me too!
Moose is HUGE and soooo cool! 💜

Dang. I just watched this again. My friend @christinelalka547 called it. Big difference in the interior. I have actually gotten quite a bit done considering no power tools to help the situation. Wouldn't want to incur the hatred of people who think the individual can stop climate change. Plus I just can't afford it. I'm working on maximizing my force multipliers.
You clearly have a sasquatch just off camera. This is my very scientific appraisal of the situation.
Clearly! Actually I think it was a small doe. There's 1 or 2 frames at the start of the cap that looks like an ear.
When I look at these pictures you can really see all of the work you have done. It's amazing.
Love the purple sweatshirt!
Pretty silly, each bag is best suited to each goal of the bag. That's like trashing hiking clothes becauwse you have a fin cardigan and sweatpants...lol Get home bags are made to get home and are suited to that. Bug OUt bags are emergency go bags, everything yu's need for 72 hours if there was a fire close to your house and you had to evacuate. INCH bags are silly as not MANY will be surviving a civilization ending event. Not when they'd be the first to be predated upon by scavengers and lowlifes. Trauma kits are for large bleeding, IFAK's are for like hiking emergencies, boo boo kits are just that. Trashing concepts is not very educated...lol Learn more.
