Here we are building our dream compost toilet after spending the first year on our homestead going to the toilet in the bushes, with a shovel and a knife, fighting for our place amongst the grunting wild boar. Anyone have any other interesting wilderness toilet experiences? Would you consider switching to a compost toilet for the rest of your life like I’m forcing Robbie to do?
Get into making bio-charcoal! Great for your composting toilet and chicken coop. It helps reduce the smell while absorbing the nutrients in the matter, then you can use as compost on your plants. As your creating the bio-char you can even use the heat and cook things too.
There are channels with videos, then there are a few channels with videos and a few outtakes, and then there is this channel with … only outtakes? 🙃You're a seriously funny family and a breath of fresh air on TH-cam. I enjoy your videos a lot!
Thank you for your kind comment! We are glad you’re enjoying the videos! We have absolutely no idea what we’re doing, it’s interesting that our videos feel like outtakes. I guess we just don’t want them to feel boring, so try and keep the bits we find funny!
@@ladyandtheowlman It seems to work, your videos are never boring! And it gives them a unique style that I haven't seen anywhere on TH-cam. Unique is probably a good thing when on TH-cam, so just keep doing what you're doing and see where it takes you?
Спасибо, Ольга, за добрые слова! Для нас это значит, что вы наслаждаетесь нашими видео и поддерживаете нашу семью, оставляя нам такие милые и мотивирующие комментарии! ❤️
I have seen men, over 6'6" bodybuilder types, reduced to shivering, high pitched shrieking like a 3 year old girl and crying and wailing when they encounter a snake unexpectedly. So you have got absolutely nothing to be ashamed of - yes you were shaken BUT you handled yourself pretty damn good under the circumstances - congratulations.
Great progress on the toilet build - looks like it's a family affair, you all work together so well including Sage! Kudo's to Robbie for a great, well thought out design and Emilia for Master Builder 🙂 Continued success!
Yes - having Sage there does help to keep the peace between us as well! Have to wait for the next part to see if Robbie’s design is a success 🤣🤦🏻♀️ We really appreciate your kind words and support 😊
It's just great that such young guys know how to work with their heads and hands. I follow you with interest. Take some more, don't throw it away. good luck.
We’re definitely finding more sanity working outside in the sun compared to our old lives stuck in a dark office in London! We’re learning how to build everything for the first time, makes you realise how competent professional builders are! Thanks for following us 💫
The word that comes to mind when watching these videos as an architect from the United States is “pluck” - this small family has fortitude and heart in profusion. Enjoyable to watch! Thanks for sharing
I have been re-cooperating from a new left knee replacement and have enjoyed this journey.Sage is learning skills at his age that will make this journey faster should he ever embark on creating his own Utopia. Just like my only child, I bet he would like a sibling, if only to commiserate with as he grows under your tutelege. Watching your physical efforts is an inspiration.
Oh goodness, we wish you the best with your knee recovery Larry! Sage has definitely got some impressive skills already, it's amazing to see how fast he learns! Hopefully he'll have some siblings in future to adventure with too!
Hey there guys! We had no idea you had a youtube channel! We (Malin and Alex from Casas Ibanez) love watching your videos, you guys are so natural on camera 🙂 We were in our own bubble so much during the time of your construction doing our van that we completely missed out on coming to see you guys up there! It's nice for us to see the valley from a different perspective and we are really enjoying seeing your progress! Whenever we are back we would love to come and have a look. Can't wait for the next video! Oh by the way, Sage is soooo cute!
Hey Malin and Alex! Great to hear from you guys. We had no idea you had a channel either! 😅Haha well yeah, we made a channel because our friends kept asking for updates on what on earth we were doing in Spain, so we thought maybe just make a TH-cam channel so they could follow along and anyone else who wanted to watch! Hope you’re enjoying your adventures in India. We loved hearing of your travelling around Sri Lanka in a tuk-tuk. Definitely give us a shout when you’re next here and we can show you around! Sage is hilarious, and an absolute handful at the same time 🤦🏻♀️
Haha thanks Johann! Robbie really is a little insane when it comes to designing things, some high levels of passion! So funny to see how young sage looks in that clip as well, wow! He'll be 5 years old by the time we actually finish this compost toilet haha!
Hi,👋, L&T, O, M, 😂, I think there is a song about that , 😂, thank you for sharing your amazing experience living off the grid, a the land , And erecting your compost toilet, it is a pity you are a little bit too far away, I have two or three pieces sanitary wear bits that you could have for nothing, about seven or eight years ago, I was In a builders merchant back in the UK, ordering some materials, some bits and pieces for job I was doing, I noticed that somebody was taking bathroom, suite et cetera apart, So I made some enquiries with the management, and it appears they were removing five or six of the bathroom Show unit appliances and they were going up for sale, so I asked them how much they wanted for the whole lot ha ha, 😂, they came up with a figure, and I said I’ll take the whole lot, It took me two trips, but I managed to collect everything and bring it across to France, if you have a chance and you see showrooms in building merchants, you want to make them enquiries to see whether they are going to be exchange or replaced it any time as great possibility you will get them for less than half price, Give you an idea , I brought the kitchen made of solid oak, without the appliances was over £18,000, I paid £2000 for it, but I had to wait nearly 3 months for them to dismantle and get it all prepared for me, I did spend another bit of money on some extra work Top as there was not quite enough, as I wanted to build a centre Island in the kitchen with a breakfast bar off the back of it, Sometimes you have to be a little bit cheeky , and you know what being a bit cheeky is like don’t you?, 😂 . There was a couple of scenes in your, video, where I had to reconnect my pacemaker, as you’ve got my heart racing a bit too much ha ha, 😂, cheeky, 😂, I see your chicken coop is a lot safer now , especially with the buzzards and Eagles 🦅 hovering about, Stay safe, keep up the great work , colder weather is now coming in, I’ve had frost nearly every morning this week so far, in the Correze France , I/we look 👀 forward to seeing you all on the next stage of your journey, stay safe, Phil from the moulin France ,
Hey Phil! Good idea about getting discount prices from showrooms, we will ask next time we’re in! Harder to be cheeky with builders merchants when we won’t speak fluent Spanish! But we’re getting better each time, you’ve got to hustle. We add something new to the chicken house next episode to prevent more eagle attacks. Hope you’ve got a good log fire to keep you warm!
@@ladyandtheowlmanHi 👋, good luck with builders merchants, not sure whether they have showrooms over there like they had in the UK, I purchased a very large kitchen from a place called K2 B, that stands for kitchens and bathrooms, the kitchen was on display I think around £18,000, without the appliances, I paid, I think 2 1/2 thousand for it, but then I spent another 2 1/2 thousand pound, purchasing some more granite worktop, and I bet you can’t guess where that came from, Portugal, That came all the way from Portugal up to Newmarket in the UK, it was two sizes I wanted and then I brought it all the way across back to France again, because I had a large business, I used to go quite a lot to different builders merchants, and it was just a case of been at The right place at the right time, and of course the money, so if something came up that I thought I could use, I will get it, I hope all goes well with your chicken coop, And you managed to stop eagles, buzzards, coming down and helping themselves to free range chickens, 🐓, good luck for the future, I just remembered you said about a fire, I’m sitting here at the moment with blankets around me trying to keep warm as I didn’t think it was worth light on the fire around about half 6 o’clock 7 o’clock in the evening, I am sitting here with a nice glass of wine though, Stay safe, keep up the great work, ❤ Phil from the moulin.
what a great job of living offgrid and love your dedication on the things that you are building. BUT be careful with the CEMENT DUST especially with your kid, it could cause serious and irreversable damage on your lungs. peace be with you all
Thanks so much for the kind words, it really means the world to us! And thank you for the advice on cement dust, we're taking more precautions now with Sage, and we're all being more careful. Peace be with you too!
I take my hat off to you both for the hard work you put into the toilet project, as I drifted off to sleep thinking about the reed bed I had a concern about insects, you could end up with a tone of flies in the area, I have a similar issue with my pond filter in summer. I am commenting on an old video, are you now using the new WC, are you happy with it or do you want to upgrade some way. Love the video editing and camera work is very good.
Thanks for your thoughtful comment and the kind words! Haha thinking about our problems as you go to sleep, that's great to hear we have such dedication to our mission! The toilet we're building (still building it!) uses the same reed bed, we solved the fly issue by collecting lots of different types of tadpoles and added them to the first tank and they have done a great job in keeping the insect larva away, and added fish to the second tank, and they eat absolutely everything including the tadpoles! ❤️
Woah the snake was long & looked venomous.Thank god u not get bitten. When we had a big old colonial house here in Singapore,a cobra ate our cat which we could'nt find for days until the snake fell thru the ceiling into the lounge with the cat in its stomach 😮
Oh my goodness, that's an insane story Andrew! Wow. Quite traumatic as well I imagine! We certainly don't have snakes that could eat a cat here! What a story!
Cuando podáis tenéis que venir por Castellón.Morella ,Culla y Ares en els Ports es una zona de montaña muy mediaval así conocéis tierras valencianas.........seguro que os gustará
Thanks so much for the love! It’s called Yeso rapido, it’s a plaster, all the builders around here use it to quickly stick stuff together. It’s pretty amazing stuff, dries very quickly, and is very strong. Not sure what it’s made of, but we’ll be more careful with it now you’ve mentioned it - thanks for the advice!
Thank you Chris! I am now aware of this method thank you for the recommendation! Doesn't help that all our wooden shutters are bent from the heat! Sometimes I feel like a worthwhile investment would be to get a giant metal triangle, and throwing a concrete block on it to keep it pinned down - it's a bit difficult to do pythagoras on your own because the boards keep moving! ❤️
Thanks for the comment Nikita! We really appreciate the love. Yes we have internet connection via a dish on the house that luckily can point to a small mast between the mountains! Otherwise getting internet here would have been a bit tricky!
There are much better solutions for that. Dig a pit about 5 ft deep 4 x 6 ft concrete the bottom then brick the sides, not forgetting to put your inlet pipe near the top on one side and your outlet pipe 6" below on the opposite side. A steel plate on the top for access incase of blockage. It's called a soak away
Thanks for comment Robert! This does indeed sound like a simple solution. Robbie tried to make us do this in the beginning, but I told him I wanted to store the compost so we can move it around the land and feed our trees (after a couple of years of fermentation of course,) that’s how we came to the idea of the bin system. Also the toilet is quite near our spring, so we were a bit worried about hazardous things going into the soil!
@@ladyandtheowlman Not the best idea as human waist contains a lot of chemicals and metals from the food we eat, so far better to let it drain away slowly and if you do get blocked then call the council to come and empty it and do not,,, use and bleach or other such things down the loo as it stop the muck from decaying as it kills all the good bacteria. Trust me I have had a soak away on my last 3 farms.
I enjoy watching your videos, but I would to suggest you to always use gloves , eye protection and dust mask specially if you’re are mixing harmful chemicals, concrete mixing. Hope to see more videos
Thanks for your comment Wolf! And thank you for recommending we take more care! You're absolutely right. It’s easy to forget when you're doing it everyday. Robbie is usually pretty good with his safety, and me & Sage generally try and stay away from the chemicals! We've spent so much money on good gas masks in the past, the replaceable filters are a real investment, but we will be sure to get more next time we go to the shops!
Well Peter.... this is a good idea. Haha. This is at least what sensible people would do. Although we do like the idea of having a safe place from the mosquitos, would you have a moveable structure (water proof house) with your design that you can move to the new toilet location? With our design I guess what sold us was reading the 'humanure handbook' and we liked the idea of storing the compost and using on our trees in future

We had 3 timber rattlesnakes at work that one looks harmless, good for rodents control, the poisonous snakes here have a high venom potential and can easily kill a horse, if you find them? They got to go! One was just under a meter long.
@@ladyandtheowlmanLive in northern New Mexico, high altitude dessert mountain climate, big agricultural for here, I work for a propane gas company and surrounded by pastures, alfalfa fields and irrigation ditches, the toxin in this region is high, one bite can kill a horse.
Our ancestors have been here for 500 years the conquistadores, they made it to Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Coronado went all the way to Canada and back.
Ah Northern new Mexico wow that's so cool you're watching our videos all the way from there! What is your average rainfall there? We don't like the sounds of those snakes!! ❤️
@@ladyandtheowlman about 16 inches, this year probably closer to 20, years vary and we do get our respective monsoons when we get afternoon thunderstorms nearly every day for weeks
You probably have found out by now, but just in case: that's most probably a ladder snake - and it's not very dangerous and non-venomous. It's also pretty common and no endangered species. Having written that: there are some pretty dangerous snakes in Spain, and there's no reason to be careless. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladder_snake
Thank you for your comment! That's good to know!! It's pretty terrifying to touch a coiled up snake in your vegetables even if it isn't venomous! So weird it was living in that little hole! We see a lot of snakes everyday here, but we've never seen one of the venomous ones, but thank you for reminding us we'll be careful! ❤️

So you have got absolutely nothing to be ashamed of - yes you were shaken BUT you handled yourself pretty damn good under the circumstances - congratulations.
I'm pretty sure my scream could be heard from the other side of the valley when I first touched it! BUT thank you anyway! 🤣

Our ancestors have been here for 500 years the conquistadores, they made it to Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Coronado went all the way to Canada and back.
Ah Northern new Mexico wow that's so cool you're watching our videos all the way from there! What is your average rainfall there? We don't like the sounds of those snakes!! ❤️
@@ladyandtheowlman about 16 inches, this year probably closer to 20, years vary and we do get our respective monsoons when we get afternoon thunderstorms nearly every day for weeks
Are you on Instagram too🎉❤
YES! @ladyandtheowlman and @nakedmarmite is my personal one. Although I don’t go on there often 🤦🏻♀️🧡
You probably have found out by now, but just in case: that's most probably a ladder snake - and it's not very dangerous and non-venomous. It's also pretty common and no endangered species.
Having written that: there are some pretty dangerous snakes in Spain, and there's no reason to be careless.

Thank you for your comment! That's good to know!! It's pretty terrifying to touch a coiled up snake in your vegetables even if it isn't venomous! So weird it was living in that little hole! We see a lot of snakes everyday here, but we've never seen one of the venomous ones, but thank you for reminding us we'll be careful! ❤️
