      Definitely only a couple of videos in here that fit that definition. The worst one is titled something like Mirror House in Arizona. The people were awful, self promoting to a point of satire and overall oblivious to anything that didn't include their own headline . You can get a feel for when Kirsten and her husband truly enjoy their subject content, and I believe they did here.

  • @jwebbw
    @jwebbw 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +12

    On ideas from a survival book, he moved to Hawaii to put his plan into action, to live sustainably off grid, build several dwellings while growing most of his own food. If you ask me, moving to a tropical paradise away from those Wisconsin winters is a no brainer. He lived there in Hawaii for four years before he found and bought that property at what seems to be a fantastic deal. And I've never seen a mango tree before. Also, it appears that his solar panels are not getting full direct sunlight. Thanks for the tour and until the next one !!

    • @signalfire6
      @signalfire6 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      That part of Hawaii is cheap because it's very near the volcano which becomes active often. It's also overrun with coqui frogs which are LOUD and there's thousands of them per acre. It's paradise but with caveats.

    • @signalfire6
      @signalfire6 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Mortite is sold on Amazon and in hardware stores. It's just a sticky rubbery caulking; it appears he stuck the cut to shape colored glass onto a full sheet of clear glass. Many of his round 'windows' were old microwave turntables (I've got several here I hated to throw away). The weird thing about Hawaii is when people move off the island, they just leave everything behind. Garage sales galore. Land is still cheap in many places but coqui are ubiquitous in his area - they are tiny frogs that are BIG LOUD. Looks like he's got the land sealed off from most of the wild pig problems, though.

      @@forestfairness12 I enjoyed learning about your great place in Hawaii. Thank you for sharing with us! I am curious about your ideas about the land trust, and anything else you may have to tell us about how your vision for it would work.

    Very Kool !!! He reminds me of Terence McKenna. I met him in Hawaii in the 90s on the big island where this person currently lives . I wonder if he was connected to Terence way back in the 90s ? Hawaii is Paradise !!!

      ​@@forestfairness12 hello thank you for your response !!! My friends parents were really close friends with Terence and that's how I got spend some quality time with him and his girlfriend and kids. ( he already had cancer by then ) but he definitely lived a very fascinating life !!! When he told me he was on the cover of "High Times " on multiple times that was a kick and a half of fun !!! Miss Hawaii especially the big island !!! Wish you great health and peace Always!!! & thank you for sharing your home / slice of paradise with us !!! 🌳🌿🏝🌿🌳

    Lot's of old hippies on the south end of the Big Island. This one has perfected the art of living there with almost no money, good for him!

      He could have whatever income he wanted by just hosting x-amount of people per week or month and teaching them how he did it, giving tours. There's plenty of land still available on the islands if you're willing to deal with the bureaucracy and coqui.

    This is like a personal blue zone, plant based eating, keeping active outdoors and guests for socialization. But wow that is a lot of man hours building rock walls.
