    This vid touches a special spot in my heart. We sailed our sailboat from the Bahamas to Hispanola. We approached late at night. We were probably 50 miles off shore when we started to smell the island. It was obvious that is was the smell of charcoal being created. We sailed the Caribbean for 9 years. In those 9 years I never experienced this again. Sadly, Haiti is denuding their island of trees for charcoal. Hopefully, the Dominican Republic doesn't make the same mistake and we find an alternate way to provied fuel to Haiti.

    Interesting way of making charcoal.. I feel like this was an incredible amount of work and took a long time though... there are a lot of ways to make it pretty simply, including covering a pile of wood in mud and let it burn for a few hours before plugging up the air holes. That only takes like 6 hours. This took several days. It’s always interesting seeing it done if different ways though.
