Going to build an earth ship! Can’t wait for that indoor greenhouse, more fresh veggies.
Greenhouse starting, follow my instagram
Go for it Hanna!!!
I'm with you!!
But aren’t the tires toxic ??
@@Electr0fleur2:46
I am so blown away by this. I had an uncle who everybody called a dreamer, crazy, etc., and he was the one who introduced me to the concept of earth ships. Always wanted one, but haven't gotten there yet. This is just a level of amazing I've never seen before. Congratulations on a brilliant project! Cheers
This is my dream! I just found the earth ships about a year ago when visiting Taos and I was shook! It was everything I never knew I needed. Living in Dallas Tx now but longing to get back to Taos for a visit.
You can do this!!!
I live in the mountains of northern New Mexico not far at all as the crow flies from these Taos Earthship homes. In the small town of Pecos. I moved here 15 years ago from east Texas. You can definitely do it but it helps if you know some people here. I was told by many people before I moved here that without a lot of money it's impossible to do it but I proved everyone wrong. But it took hooking up with the right people. If you are still interested in moving up this way if you haven't already since you posted this 3 years ago I might could be of some help. Don't hesitate to ask if you want.
You touched on something that has always stopped me from being all in with an Earthship. Off gasing, fumes, toxic ish from the tires coming into the house. Great video man.
Yes...this is reason enough for pause 🤔
When I was in my early 20s I studied up on this. Mother Earth News was a big advocate of the 'Earth Ships'. Always wanted to do it but life has come and gone for me. Follow your dream and I wish you the best of luck!
Tom Langley you have plenty of life do as you please brother

Baby Steps Genius. Never preachy. Sound motives, sound approach. I'm glad I somehow found this video this rainy, Sunday morning in North Georgia. Thanks.
Awesome! Are you going to do a follow-up when he's done?
He has to do a follow-up now! :-)
Leon Dylan is welcome back anytime! ✊🌎
Keep up the great work! Inspired me to being looking at options down here in Aus.
T4tly Thank you! best of luck down there. I know that some have been built there. You could always check out the Earthships Indonesian Island build. Beautiful setting to learn in✊🌎
There are many already done for you to gander at. They're in Taos, NM mostly. check out earthshipbiotecture.com these have been around for quite a while now.
This inspired me this morning. I sooo am ready for an earthship... it's on my dream board and not where to start. I am also a personal trainer. So hearing it's like working out, one step at a time.. one push up at a time helped. Have a great day!
can't wait to see it finished. ....we are purchasing 10 acres and getting ready to off grid it with husband and 6 of our 8 kids
Good luck... these in my opinion are the most efficient by far... but if you want the absolute best with security and fortification youre going to have to go underground... you cant hit what you cant see... but if you want to be as normal as possible with still being off grid... this is best... about 10 k people a year are becoming full on preppers... 100k are saving up for at least a bug out plan and food storage... 1million are saving up for 3 months food camping gear and a gun... 10 million are saving up 3 days worth of food 3 months worth of cash and 3 weeks worth of water. 100m are saving up fir 3 days of food... extra... and 1 month of bills... 1b are thinking about it.
Roy .gmail what’s a prepper?
@@nofurtherwest3474 im guessing like a Doomsday prepper, like nukes and war etc.. \m/
I love how Ryan is explaining all the materials and systems, best video on building earthships that I found so far, thank you!
He's right. There's more than one way to live.
Duh. In the jungles of Kembodia it is completely free if you want full freedom. Pack a bag with seeds and off you go. Homelessness these days is completely voluntary these days
@@svetlanikolova7673 tell that to the people living in america on the streets stuck in a endless cycle cause once your homeless you have to bust your ass to get anywhere or name a impoverished 3rd world country
I love seeing these videos on how cheap it is to do..
It can be done if you don't factor in the cost of a backhoe and the very labor intensive construction.
That looks TIRESOME!
yea but wheely good
It looks like he didn't have a Goodyear.
well so is owing banks hundreds of thousands
Fuck you.....
As opposed to working for corporate???
Great video, It's nice to see a young man not afraid to do some physical work it not only keeps you healthy , but also is very rewarding. I'm am 66 yo. I have done physical work all my life and have enjoyed it and can do many things other people my age cannot. This young man is making a difference. I would love to see his progress. Thank you for sharing.🙂
is there a video of his finished home? He seems to know a lot And has planned it all out. Congratulations to him 👏🏽
😆 LOL
The size of these ships is not going to be enough food to sustain and nourish you hate to say.
@@petermclaughlin3292 some people don't just do it for food, it's affordable housing.
@Peter McLaughlin , some people want to be slaves to the banks and work just to survive; other people think that it is delusional and bad for the Earth.
A bunch of videos building them.. never see the end it looks like
It's always good to see others doing sustainable living as am. I'm doing rammed-earth when I get finished the inside walls are finished I need to do no more.
My home will be very much like yours , I wish you the best.
Oh it's just great To Be Your Own Boss too!!!
Love this!! I totally understand his transforming his life from the rat race to being the change....big ups to him!
Very inspiring. I appreciate your sharing as I too wish to learn more about this lifestyle.
This might be one of my favorite videos you put together. So cool, informative, thought provoking... I would love if you visited him again once he was finished with the project. Keep up the great content!!
I appreciate that he mentions baby steps to get to this. I hope to be off grid with my family one day. But for now baby steps.
I feel like I went to church. I'm packing up everything this year. Never coming back.
How did it go?
The cooling system is brilliant. People with conventional homes can put this principle to use by opening a window o nthe north side of the lowest level of their home during hot weather, and also opening a window on the south side of the uppermost area of the house. Any door in between these windows should be open, of course. While not as efficient as the metal tube going through the earth berm, the natural convection currents will allow much of the heat to escape, and draw in the cooler air.
If the window on the north side is shaded by trees and of foundation shrubs, and is also located in a basement, this method will provide even more cooling. A fan in the upper window pushing the hot air outward will increase the airflow.
Since hot air rises but cool air does not, on super hot days the A/C can be run with these windows still open, reducing the indoor air pollution and affecting the efficiency of the A/C little, if any. By releasing hot air, instead of trying to cool it, one may even be able to save electricity, but it depends on the structure, its surroundings, and other details. It is worth experimenting to see which combination of windows works best in a particular home, and at different times of day.
Excellent video. I'm planning on attending the "Earthship Academy" In September or October. Next i'm going to bring this technology to Cote D'Ivoire Africa. Thanks for sharing.
Lol i hope
And me too inside of Nigeria , and to Guatemala first! Let us connect and we learn for this^
Bonnie Spiders I’ve already completed the course at the “Earthships Academy” In Taos New Mexico USA. You can search “Expat to Côte d’Ivoire” And view my video. I’m now looking for land to purchase to start my build. You can reach me at cinkat21@yahoo.com 🖐🏿
@@AssanRaelian updates? how was the course? do you feel confident that you can build an Earthship?
@@gigahertz_1911 it was very educational. And yes! I feel confident enough to build an Inspired Earthship. I would however recommend that you purchase the books that you may feel that you may need clarity on. Finally if you plan to attend the ES Academy? Make sure that you apply yourself in everything.😃🖐🏿
Inspiring!I began a tire retainer wall for my old shed, and now, am using rambed earth tires for a foundation to build a greenhouse around the outside of it which I hope will warm the shed on sunny days.Great way to relieve stress and get fit.I am excited. SO MANY TIRES, SO MANY IDEAS, AND ITS FREE!
Nothing is free. It takes huge amount of time and time is money.
This is by far my favorite channel and I'm always so happy when he releases another video! Very well made, love it!
really. I liked it up until the wanker at the end. Seems like the dude loves himself a little too much!!! I guess this is the new way not the way?
Not my fav. But from the others tis one of the top 3
I like it, but it seems a LOT of work to do! Why not make it a little bigger in case you want to get married or something? Would it be that much extra work? (sincere question)
This guy is fun. Greetings from Costa Rica. I started watching this video because i want to do a very different project, my own road uphill in my property here in Costa Rica.
"I'm just gonna let science do science" Lol that was inspiring
Now this guy , you don't have to worry . Hope you go on and have a big family . Thanks
The composting toilet will contain and compost your waste to make wonderful soil to grow anything in. It is a natural and relatively smell free way of not using a septic tank that you can use year around and not have to worry about adding bacteria to any ground water you may have.
Just love your attitude and your life philosophy

Grzesiek Z u
Badass, yes! Blessings brother!
would love to see a recap video of this home once its finished! also theres a little numerical typo in the description, $10,000*
@ Issa Kaddissi , I was wondering about that, the cost. What do you think would be an actual monetary figure?
You should be very proud of yourself. I am 69 and wish I could have done what your doing. Great job man proud of you
ugh, I have built 3 of these very very simply and with reused materials and there is NO way to build these for under $10,000.00 because you must take into account the car maintenance on your car if you are off grid, the fact you are the one doing the labor which if you are NOT working, your daily needs...best of luck to you and I am all for earthships, but it needs to be made clear.....these are NO simple build or task.
Mackenzie Christy I am looking for additional information on earthships and potential cost, can you point me in the direction of resources. I am interested in building an earthship, but have no experience with architecture. How much do these typically cost?
Technically you could gather all these materials free with the exception of straw for the cob, cornerstones and maybe some lumber.
@@ShiftySkipperYou save money on materials but you're gonna have to spend hundreds of hours pounding dirt into tires to get your walls up. Usually these are built with crews of dozens over the course of months. My point being you can save a lot of money on materials but they have a LOT of labor involved
¹¹¹¹1
Love this guy! All the insight and living the example... none of the preachy guilt. I hope Ryan is successful, and gets others hooked along the way. There's no reason he couldn't start building these a few at a time out there and make a whole neighborhood of these.
Brad Cornelius Thank you for the support ✊🌎💧🌱
The neighborhood idea is excellent. Right there with you on that. I imagine each single or family home on an acre of their own, connected and surrounded by a larger homestead of native perennial trees, shrubs, flowers, and grasses providing shade, shelter, and food. Looking forward to seeing more of these houses regenerating the areas around them. Fine example, Ryan.
Absolutely!
@@ryanhalpin645it’s been years! We need updates brother! 😁
In San Luis Colorado just a few miles north of New Mexico. Undertaking the same project
I'm 15mins away from there. Where at? I'd love to see, I was born there
@@genesiscortez1931 you can contact me on Instagram at coloradoconcealment
Sir, I just want to say what you're doing is awesome! I too am working towards achieving something similar. Corona has delayed my plans a bit, but hope to buy the land in the next 6 months, then get started. I think living off the grid is the way to go. Live clean, live healthy, and live happy.
Best of luck.
So much respect brother !! 💯💯💯
Looked like a pile of tires to me. I can image a castle, stack a few rocks, and make a video! Build a castle for free!
Bob Smith right....me too. I guess we'll have to wait for part 2
Bob Smith lao
you could run a big rocket stove Mass heater with copper tubing wrapped around the chimney Part gravity feed water through it .. possibly run that through the floor underneath whatever your flooring is going to be . we usually use bricks Set in sand..
Living the DREAM!!! I will see you there eventually!!! :D Cheers!!!
I like your idea of the baby steps. Good going.
Very cool video! I'm doing the exact same thing but in Arizona! And I'm from Wisconsin also! (go Pack go!)
My wife and I bought our land a few years ago and love the mild winters, we drive semi over the road but not for long.... We are quitting soon to build our home!
Good luck to you and I'll subscribe to your channel for more videos (hopefully)
Matt Moore Same plan here. We bought property in southern Arizona (Sierra Vista). Husband just started driving OTR for a couple years and then build time!
i look forward to see the finished project.
You gotta check out more earthships man! This one looks likes it going to be sweet when it's done. That guy's going to be ripped from beating all those tires & eating all that organic food. xD
Earthship is actually more engineering than youd think... it needs angles,.. length.. mass.... and window percentage and most of all tires... people dont want to hire 10 people to take a month to maybe make it right... with tire you need to make sure its balanced... im planning to build one myself.... by the end of 2019 it will begin to start being built... i earn oy 100k a year so i mist save ul every singke penny...
What about the off gassing of the tires over time?
@@projectnevil Off gassing only occurs when the tires are exposed to sunlight. Burying them ensures no off gassing takes place.
@@keywestalert6329 Did you start yours?
@@josephwilliams2901 unfortunately you sent me thus message during the Civil 19 pandemic
I always assumed you posted pieces from a show on nat geo or something. The production value is incredible keep it up!
Thank you to Micheal Reynolds for coming out with so much stuff to get our creative ( thinking outside of the box) juices really flowing
Thank Michael Reynolds for helping the World be a better place !
You are truly inspirational!
New spin to "Go pound sand!"
That budjet could possibly have a semi mansion in the Philippines . Plus the view is beautiful ocean front and no worries for food , fish is abundant and coconut. Wish I could have that budjet ;-)
He also picked the right truck! It'd probably outlast his house, lol.
Toyota for life!
Kevin Lee .......just bought a newer Tacoma......need to work on the road 😉
Lol i wonder what brought a car guy to a house vid.? Well im a car guy too so... dam it
Horseshit!!
I think I will watch this video few times. Good stuff.
this is so amazing! The "job" you do Dylan! To show to the world each end every off grid possibilities. Its just what i do. I were researching a lot about earthships, tree houses, tiny houses on wheels, mini eco houses, hobbit houses, rv-s, camper vans, caravans, static caravans... All is so amazing. I really cant stand the system anymore, im stuggling to do it over and over again every day...and i keep asking myself every day was it the last one?...but not there yet... At the moment i live in London im only 24 and a nanny with no saved money and no driving license.. and trapped in the big city life's problems such as incredibly high rent and i cant live my soul's passion. I have the goal set that i definitely will escape the system with going off grid. I dont know how im gonna do it but im gonna do it. Such an inspiration when i see videos of likeminded people.. keeping me up and keep going.
if you were to spray urethane wall foam before you stucco it will totally seal it up with a very high r factor.
I hope that you do another episode on him when he finishes.
He really needs to do this!
this is an enTIREly awesome idea
seen one in Arizona he had 1,000 of gallons of water storage inside for rain water. had pipe under floor 3 that went north to south 6 ft deep and came up 3 ft in to flower planter aka the gardens,but don't tell the state that,and used the gray water to water them.The tubes under floor was to dehumidifie ...Cool to see one again rock on brother.
looking forward to seeing the finished home
Great job man, I would just love to build a mothership someday.............I am pushing sixty so if I am going to do I better light a fire under my butt in order to get me moving - anyway, loved the video, loved your enthusiasm and energy! keep on keeping on brother!! wishing you nothing but a great life in your bachelor mothership when you get her all done - Cheers from icy Canada!
Excellent video mate, let us know when you put a video up of the finished job
dude is my hero.....and of course he is right...wise beyond his years... i leave for Washington state where i am building a version of an Earth ship... off grid...cant sleep waiting for it...
Awesome, loved this one.
Gnarly, a consensus nature lover that looks like a biker...right one, way to blow stereotypes
I have motorcycles 😉😁🏍
You'll find a lot of cross genre peeps in Taos 😉
very moving. Thank you.
First! Great videos, man!
I'm not sure if he knows but tires are extremely flammable. That's probably a hazard. If he has a solution to make it "fire-proof" then this would be a really cool earthship.
He should think about a composting toilet
The beauty of this system is that the black water and grey water would be filtered and sent to the aquaponics garden to fertilize the plants. Those plants would then ensure a food supply. Everything about this system is meant to allow you to be completely off-grid and completely self-sustainable. Some earthships also use the methane as a heating source for cooking.
@@YourMajesty143 the black water is used for out door botanical cells that are for landscaping. These plants are not meant for consumption. The grey water is used indoors for food production and to clean the water to use for the toilet.
Love this guy
It takes a lot of baby steps for sure. We have been working towards this for 3 years and are getting closer
Just incredible
This is perfect. I have been in the need to go into hiding.
Cops have been chasing me for a year now. They barged in my door. I barely had enough time to grab money and clothes. The screams of my shocked Mother still haunt me to this day. I was young and reckless, but what I did was unforgivable.
I pirated Minecraft.
wtf
loved this, gave me some awesome ideas for the east coast.
So nice to listen to creative , intelligent , ingenious young people. Beautiful ideas, man!
Cool cheers from Portugal 🇵🇹
"In this environment, you're going to be able to grow cheese".... Yeah.. i dont think it works like that
🤔I thought he said cheese too 🤣
well technically....
he sounds like he is from wisconsin. love those people. They do take football too seriously out there.
Thank you 😊
Dennis Weaver started this trend. He built his beautiful home in NM from tires, bottles, cans, and made a video on how to DIY
Really looking forward to seeing the finished project! Great job!
hey brother I'm from Wrightstown, Wisconsin that's about 12 miles south of Green Bay
Is there a centralized resource for learning about the legalities of this sort of idea? I know that there are various legal complications dealing with building codes and the like. I have read and studied enough to be confident in starting the process of building and et cetera but unsure of the likelihood of losing the work put in to that point...
Every municipality is different
@Pete Google the "Land Use Code" of whatever county you seek to locate in. All the counties I've worked with have an online PDF of this doc.
The architecture is really good but it should be tested for off gassing from decaying tires and radon mitigation installed.
Earthships would be so useful right now with this Covid-19 madness we’re living.
Yup
💯
Covid? Something they made up to kill you off make you mad and go poor on purpose.
Good advice, bro.
Hey my name is Shartim Robinson and I'm really interested learning how to build my own van and home so I can just travel live off the grid I would really like to hear what you have to say far as how to get started. Hope get this cause im stationed in south Korea right now
Great way to re-use dirty old tires .... way better than ending up in a black smoke fire that burns to hot to put out and smolders for months. Hey here is a question. If a fire ignites a tire in a wall will the whole wall go up eventually? I doubt it really would happen ever but jeez that's why there's code anyway
I wish him great success. Please keep us updated and thank you for this video!!
Good job bro 🤙🏽
If only it were on wheels then we'd have something. "Owning" land doesn't work for the group, a campground is a symbol of sharing...
you could try cargo container homes, semi permanent, durable, and mudular.
I hope you help others to help save our planet.
Really like this guy, wishing him all the best for his sustainable living!
Erin McNeill Thank you! I wish you the best as well ✊🌎
what about composting toilet? easier than the septic
Wow really cool and you have the satisfaction of building it yourself.
love it! Im going to do them same hopefully by next year!
It's entirely possible to maintain our industrial lifestyles in a sustainable way, we're just making *slow* progress towards that (thanks mostly to big oil influencing politics...)
yeah everyone and there grandma think this is great till they need to grab a shovel and start digging and than they are just looking for the next chance to bail out
Oil? Ha... yes thats number 1 ... maybe but riiiight under it... its drugs, its got to be drugs, its always drugs... oh and drugs fbi supplies dealers with them they sell to the public laws make the gov. Money from bails and shit... cocaine comes from cuba everybody knows that, but the fbi helps them get it into the us... yes its illegal but if the law does it its ok... that what society is mostly going towards... so yes oil
*Elon musk steps in*
@@dementedbowine8681 not everyone needs to make the house themselves, although I personally plan on building my house.
Would make sense to add wood boards to the walls, to make it more homely.
I am GREEN with envy of that dude!
they should make the cooling tube large enough to crawl through, just for a rear entrance, just in case..
this channel is amazing
Great video!
