Lost, driving through the middle of nowhere
Sees object in the distance, drives closer, tanks! Signs of civilization?
BANG
Tire shot out, steers into a rock, everything goes black.
Wakes, is dark, being dragged towards fire
"Hmm, wonder how long it'll take this one to charcoal?"
"Hey, you. You're finally awake. You were trying to cross the border,
right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there."
@@Sparrow_Bloodhunter TODD HOWARD YOU'VE DONE IT AGAIN!
@ Everytime I think I've managed to get away, he pulls me back in!
Hahahah
Now that's a steamy fanfic
This series ends when the whole base gets magically transported to Mars.
Not using magic, magic MUSHROOMS lol
@@stupidvids0 why do you think he was looking for cow patties 😏
No way! That’s the real series, this is just preparation
@@connorpoylio4107 This is the training simulator
@@obviouslyniceduh5521 For potatoes.
I loved this episode! These longer ones are a real treat. There's something immersive about them, like a part of me is really there.
13:33
Ah, the majestic, lilting song of the polymerized parrot.
21:06 I absolutely love this time lapse. What a groovy view!
24:51
Hah! Nice touch. Back in the day, everything in the sky was a meteor. Rain was known as "aqueous meteor." Hence "meteorology" for describing the weather forecast.
Thank you for the meteorology explanation, learnt something new today👍
i mean if 7 minutes of the video was a cat eating an egg i wouldn't have complained at all so i agree
Agreed, its really nice to have a longer video from time to time.
I'll be happy to be at home with air conditioning in a month or so when it's >100-110f
4:18 cops coming to arrest him for not self isolating. Lol
"Someone's coming... I'll load my gun"
*Initialisation of RoboCody's human extermination program*
Yes!
"Plahsmah rifle in the fohty wahtt range..."
Ey, just what you see pal.
Only person who understands how the population works
It would do good for a lot of city people to live like this for a few months.
They may get a better understanding why banning guns will lead to deaths for regional people.
I wouldn't have thought my absolute all time favorite series on TH-cam would be a guy fiddling around with plastic containers in the middle of nowhere . . . but here we are.
Lol I feel the exact same, but would not change a thing lol
Ikr
the one single raindrop: i'm boutta ruin this mans timelapse
right away too, and then no more rain lol. poor Cody. glad he used it anyway
Someone is 4 miles away
Cody "someone is coming, I load my gun"
Cody, social distancing world champion.
Murica at it's finest...
You never know what kind of weirdos come out to the scab lands. better to be prepared, I would feel the same way.
J Fz I totally agree.
He made me so proud when he said that. To truly be American is to recognize that YOU secure your rights by standing in defense of yourself.
Atlas WalkedAway hell yeah!
Things I noticed in this video: The fact that it looked like something had tried to dig out of the kennel coop (good thing you brought that chicken wire!), the cool 3D shadows from the kennel coop while you were working, pants hanging off the front of the truck, kitty plays nice with the chickens, the chickens just want to be with you and love you, dirt baths under the tanks, the desperate need for a generator (or more solar panels. IDK which is more expensive), fragrant fires, raspy squealing, trouble puffs, never seen a cat eat eggs like that before, WD 40 is good for almost everything, your building of raised beds prompted my 9 year old daughter to ask if you were going to do aquaponics tanks, nifty cover drain, beautiful roiling clouds through your entry hatch during the time lapse, ingenious raised bed design (i'm a horticulturist by genes and training and I love it), corrugated pipe might work in place of the half buckets to reduce the amount of soil, meteoric water
I explore the wilderness quite often, one of my favorite things to do. Not unusual to see people driving out in the middle of nowhere.
Maybe Cody has seen too many ominous vehicles approaching in the desert, via Breaking Bad
I kind of get the loading gun part as well, even though I'm against civilians having firearms, in this situation, it's quite understandable, and I would most likely do the same.
33:39 Cody coming to grips with the fact that he would have died on Mars, in real time
Seriously...I figured either his mind ran off for a moment, or he was deeply disappointed that his plants didn’t have the “special ingredient” this time around.😳😆
27:00 Robocody needs a software upgrade. Seems like he skipped the "Lift with legs, not back" protocol in this version
Cody:
*Cow shit fire and in the dark*
*Perfectly hard boiled eggs*
Me:
*Modern kitchen with lights, timer, and ice bath*
*Overcooked sulfur pods*
Doggfite I had a hearty chuckle when I saw this comment
Pro tip: Jusy barely submerge eggs in pot of water, boil water, cover pot, turn off burner, wait 18 minutes, run cold water over eggs and/or add ice. Perfect eggs every time
@White Rice I can boil an egg, Im just an overachiever so I over-boil them
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 it's just a joke, I prefer medium boiled eggs anyhow. But thanks for being a helpful, nice human!
Use a rice cooker and steam em for 7-8 minutes.... Depends how you like your yolk.
"Open the ChickenHole doors roboCody"
"I’m sorry, Cody. I’m afraid I can’t do that."
I want to see you in topcoms
lmao xD
We require more charcoal Cody. The plants need sustenance. Carbon based organism, suitable.
this video is brought to you by:

Well, at least it wasn't Spatula City
I would leave like but then it wouldnt be 69 anymore so... sorry but great comment
"This game is not what I expected."
It is so relaxing to watch someone do something that they enjoy.
depends on what they enjoy doing
i feel like i watch more people enjoy what they're doing, then actually enjoy what i am doing.

I have fallen in love with this series since ep1 for this reason. the idea is just so original and cool
Well he has the chainmail armour, whats next? A castle?
Exactly the right way to put it.
Me: *literally like this comment right now*
@@tssteelx nah, he'll get some stainless steel and build a miniature SpaceX starship, with all the pictures and videos of them being built he can probably make his own
I feel like the reason everyone is shock about Cody saying "I'll load my gun" because we expected him to load his cannon.
what you don't know is its actually a deck gun he hid in the chicken hole hill.
TheScorch191
More like a field gun at that point tho, no?
@@Warriorcat49 nah, he needs to be able to shell the target with atleast 3 separate cannons, just to make a point.
The gun is to shoot the strategically placed pee-bombs.
Activate the minefield
As a greenhouse grower, you may want to reconsider the half buckets. The volume of soil can really determine the size your plants can grow and therefore how much food you will get. More soil is best.
Rooster, crowing: I'm helping.
Cat, at 29:14 : If I fits, I sits.
That was so sweet. Cats are awesome ☺️
that made my day, I'm glad I went through the comments
Cody wrote "meteoric water" with his left hand, so we know he wasn't lying about being ambidextrous.
Or the footage was flipped to throw us off.
He also wrote it mirrored then
@@jessevos3986 Or he's just ambidextrous
It's true. He writes equally as awful with both hands.
This episode honestly reminded me of The Martian, and I think that is great. The longer episodes are a treat.
It's always so amazing to see how much Cody achieves and it's so easy to engage even for 30+ minutes!
for that tension rod, you should definitely Put some monster washers on the ends or else, as the tensions grows, it will just pull the nuts into the wood and then you wont even be able to tighten them up.
Pull your nuts into the wood, haha.
@MoLottes Good advice!
Not that I've even done it, but I've heard of it happening...
i thought the same, then again it is pressure treated wood and the tensions probably won't be that high as the screws in the wood will bear most of the forces, the rod is like a backup
@@moonasha eh, whether they are treated or not, they're still pine or fir, and as the tension builds it will stretch the 2x4 and the joint will slip
Nah, just add springs between two washers instead of a single washer. I have seen more wood crack from vibration carried into the rod than rods pulled through. Speaking as someone that uses 4x4s and threaded rods to make "temporary" racks when I need "that damn thing" out of my way.
Love that the cat is chilling in a circle on the hatch you made.
well, it is the only place in there that doesn't get wet :D
"There's somebody coming..."
"Sir, you need to go home. You're not properly socially distancing"
So true
This is like an “it’s all coming together” moment. Love it man
The disgust in Cody's voice when the people showed up had me laughing.
ewww, human?
Well when you’re so far from civilization, they could do anything to you and nobody would notice for a long time
at least he brings his rifle with him now
Isnt that his property? Id be susp too. And if it isnt i guess he wouldnt have the rights to build there idk
@@hugedickerinokripperino5299 Yes, he buys the land in a previous episode.
Everyone gangsta till Cody builds an actual Mars base.
Sees any other life, "ah, time to load my gun" 😂
*someone just driving by*
-Hey, sir, how do i drive to nearest McDonalds?
*Cody, stands in chainmail, holding a loaded gun*
- i dunno
He's actually on Mars and just pretending to get stuff from outside. He's fooling us all!
Everyone remember the list he made of everything he needed when he first started the series? I think "cute girl to keep me company" turned into "cute cat to keep me company".
That's because Cody thought the cat was a girl, but alas, it wasn't meant to be :P
@ then he is cheating with carbon
A cat will do.
@@DivinityOfBLaze what are you doing with yr cat?!?!
Cats are less complicated.
33:33 Pausing to think if he should tell us about all the poop he's stockpiling
LOL YES! thank you. we love you cody.
And he'll Science the sh*t out of it!
I'm Mongolian. The nomads in some parts of Mongolia exclusively burn dried cow pies for warmth, cooking, etc. That is because some parts of Mongolia, the grasslands and deserts, have no trees or shrubs of any kind. The cow pies burn for a surprisingly long time and at high temperatures.
HOW IS HE GONNA COPE WITH LONELINESS? Oh he's got a cat with him.
Henning Marxen its Cody he dont get Lonely
And maybe RoboCody? He does seem intelligent enough to understand human language, so maybe he can respond in some form as well.
It's not just any cat. It's Buddy!

Next episode: Coyotes... will they charcoal.
No way! xD
Amen to that 🍻
Chickens will take care of what's left of the coyote.
plot twist the only Coyote out there is Coyote Peterson stalking on Cody's cat :)
no! i mean the answer is yes... but no!
I think this is my favorite series on TH-cam right now. It's fun to watch, and it reminds me of my days as a young kid, going down the street to the cement washout past the road closed sign and building rudimentary structures with the scraps there and whatever nails my friends and I could find in the area (lots of construction). Of course, we never built anything a tenth this smart. If you had to, I think you could be 100% self sustaining in this place.
4:12 I think Cody's groan here pretty much sums up the feeling:
Just when you thought you could get some peace and quiet because people have been told to observe social distancing, someone comes to visit anyway.
4:22 Well, that escalated quickly....
Well, when you're alone in the wild and a stranger rolls up on what looks like a straight line towards you.. Nooope.
"I'll load my gun."
Things that Cody say, that shouldn't surprise me, but do.
Thats America...
@@Malusdarkblades11 very true

"That's America" no, that's most of the intelligent world... we just don't have to beg for permission to defend ourselves...
@@Malusdarkblades11 no, that's being out in middle of the desert where things want to eat you and your animals.
I love the long episodes I wish they were all this long. It's really inspiring to see the full process this is such a great series.

THERE EVOLVING
Cody: "You like it?"
Cat: [tiny cat noise]
So adorable.
Cody I understand your hesitation to want to cut that plastic. I worked at a plastic injection molding factory where I had to cut that type of plastic with a hacksaw all the time. It's a pain in the ass
Calling it now. This will eventually be on tv with some news person saying ' A youtuber has been building himself a home in the desert '
Ya probably
Should be a series on Discovery channel
"first tune somebody ever did that"
Probably wont. I doubt Cody would want to generate unwanted snoopers visiting his place.
When it comes to the rapid growth of biomass, one could also consider creating a tank with aquatic plants (such as seaweed, kelp or algae). There are a variety of edible species and inedible ones could be composted and used as nutrient for normal plants.
The thing is he just doesn't have a lot of water out there
@@coda-n6u Aye but once you have enough you just recicle it over and over. Unless something bad happens there's no need to dump water and bring in new one.
the smaller tank or "sump" he built at the front will be his water source for the irrigation of the green house, he could possible grow some algaes in there or possibly some aquatic plants, but retrieval would be a pain, and would eat into his precoius water storage space.
You're looking in a good way Cody. I was getting concerned about the dark timeline Cody a few months back. You're doing good! Keep it up! And thanks for your videos.
Hey Cody! I've been watching your videos since I was about 13, I'm 17 now. The music you play during the time-lapse really throws me back to when I was 13 and life was so simple. The thing I love about your videos is that you create videos you want to make, not necessarily the ones your fans ask for, and that is what TH-cam is for. Stay healthy and God bless man!
18:20 Galling. Common problems with stainless fasteners. Need to use some lubricant to prevent that.
50 years from now: Old cody sitting in his base, with 300 people and lots of animals around him, telling how everything began.
*the 300 remaining people
And then he dies of old age, credits rolls and bittersweet music starts to play. Yup, that's a movie alright.
i love the insinuation that cody starts a commune. let me join cody, I'll work for you! you won't need Robocody anymore!
Is this a cult?
@@charlottestewart1851 like he'd replace robocody
Favorite episode from CHB: lots done, failures and successes. Coyotes will get on top of the chicken pen, they'll try for the easiest way. Think about reinforcing.
Solar powered fence charger?
One would think the wire on top would be for airborne predators. Who knows, maybe Cody's come across coyotes that are able to jump 10 feet in the air.
Bass 'N'Bluegill they will climb. My old dog would climb right up chain link fences. Coyotes can do the same just as easily
landmines. The solution is landmines
@@moonasha how about preceding that with a 10 foot strip covered with millions of sticky glue traps?
I’m sure your aware but I’ll mention in case it saves anyone else’s chickens. We’ve had coyotes and bobcats essentially decapitate chickens by grabbing when chicken sticks it’s head out the fence. We resolved by putting mesh along about the bottom 2ft around the pen too
4:12 "theres someone coming, nyuuuurugh" feel ya there dude. I just dont have the "I'll load my gun" option. The door isnt opened unless you've called first. Social isolation is just another day in my book. Boredom isnt a concept im familiar with.
Lovin the chicken hole so far
Never getting bored while being alone is a rather rare and healthy thing.
i suggest you invest in a smaller scale wind turbine and set it up on the top of the hill you have near the base since you haven't been getting much sun and you have a lot of wind there. Also are you doing an aquaponics system to help with some of the water waste, yes it can be quite costly to start and it needs stable power, but on mars you would most likely be using this as it can use up to 90% less water than a tradition farming setup with the bonus of fish or other water creatures, the power issue can be remedied by some wind and solar upgrades, yes this will cost alot and you might not be able to afford it, but i'd bet that if you had a way for fans to donate some would donate for a project fund, lets say a fund for an aquaponics system, including power setup materials, then have the cost of it there like a go fund me, i would love to see how you would handle that, some other tips are, a water collection system for when it precipitates no matter what it is. Hope you see this and take some suggestions, even without the aquaponics i would suggest a wind turbine for extra power! - Your fan, me. (if you want me to help get some more details about something i would love to knowing that your internet is most likely slow out there!)
not much viability in wind power on Mars, lots of wind, but too little atmosphere to get much moving.
he has 2 million subscribers meaning he makes high 5 figures at least maybe low six figures. Pretty sure he can afford aquaponics which is not even expensive.
Most fun in this video, these chickens following Cody every where.
They look very happy.
You know a guy has done some home chemistry what he says "it's prilling" when it hails. Good stuff!
Nice, I didn't catch that :D
I love how he’s used the same song for years
yeah and I think it's the best for his chanle
I think it matches his series too
What song is his intro?
It's adventurous and catchy.
Never met an animal who was named Buddy that wasn't a sweetheart, definitely a great name for that little guy!
I'm glad to know you have some good company and I'm so happy to see this project moving along, I love all of your videos but this chickenhole base series has been amazing so far.
Keep up the great work, Cody, stay awesome and *STAY SAFE!* ❤️
Cody, I don’t think you will ever read this but if you do I would like you to know that you are one of my idols. I have been watching you and your content for quite a few years and with every video i come away with new knowledge and a lighter heart. Thank you so much for being the person you are and sharing with us your passions.
Your cat is gonna bury "stuff" in your plant beds, I can see it in his eyes!
I think the tanks are going to be secured against intrusion, at least by small animals. Don't want something wild getting in and destroying his crops.
I call it "Strategic Fertilizing".
I mean most of the food you eat came from a field with all kinds of animals shitting in it for months. Birds, rabbits, cyotes, dogs, cats, lizards, deer, the list goes on.
Also most farmers in my area use chicken shit as fertalizer. I would not recomend it for chicken hole base tho. The smell would be imposible to get out of the tanks. It lingers around fields for weeks around here.
Cody: Are you keeping track of the weight of materials you've brought in. Could be fun to predict how many trips it would take to get it all in orbit.
I would consider this more than a rough estimate. This is like a rough estimate of a rough estimate. This is really proof of concept, I don't think he has delusions that any of this would be reasonable in space. Like obviously you wouldn't bring wood along, the tanks would be made of kevlar nanotubes or some shit, etc
@Lenny69 シ its more like making a sand castle the size of a real castle.
Cody: "I can't work anymore because my batteries ran out."
Hammer, nails, and hand saw: Stare at Cody incredulously
Hammer, nails, and hand saw. Which one to use to drill holes?
@@Jimwill01 hand drill.
@@matthewedwards6454 No hand drill present. Gotta have it before he can use it.
Needs a hand-cranked drill with a shoulder stock (a 'brace & bit' ?) -- if only for emergencies.
@@Jimwill01 chisel it out with items 1 and 2
That's definitely "God's Country". It must be a real PITA if you forget something and need to go to the nearest town.
To say that Cody and this series are truely awesome would be a gross understatement.. thank you so much for being you and for doing what you do.
Cody: Wears chainmail armor. Also cody: Doesn't wear shoes 😎
the edit was me fixing my garbage spelling
like romans with their sandals
@@gunar.kroeger apparently we have evidence for Romans wearing socks on their sandals in Britannia. If the Romans did it, it must be cool, right? ...right?
You wear shoes with your mail??
It’s more of a weight loss tactic
Hey cody, I noticed you look happier in your vids, complements for this dude!
I'm sure he's getting over his break up.
You can really feel his frustration at 33:30 to 33:45 when he's talking about the composting failure.
It takes time, for sure. It’s nice to see the spark back in his eyes for most of the video though. :)
“There is someone coming [...] I’ll load my gun”
*Bald eagle cries in the distance*
Yeah! MERICA!
i'm betting it was a red tailed hawk
@@reelthing4u "Bald Eagle cries" always are 😉
The bald eagles basically sound like a seagull. Which they kind of are. They are cool but the Majesty is manufactured. Draw into that whatever analogy you want. That said freedom, DIY, self-determination and responsibility for himself are American values that Cody exemplifies.
in all the scablands, only 2-ish are regularly there in all America. The only people this far out are hooligans & gangs... and Cody. It was his safest bet.
The nervousness as you drilled into and cut the bottom out of the small tank was palpable. You knew you needed plastic out of it, you new you wanted to test opening a tank up before trying it on a big one.... but you also knew you could potentially fuck up a whole tank if you made a mistake, hahaha. Love your jump right in and figure it out attitude, it's legitimately inspiring.
I just realized Robocody still has cody's long hair! How everythings really been well thought of and planned ahead amazes me a lot
That was just a sideshot of the tail hat
I thought I was comfortable with being "rural," but trying to imagine living in a place where "close enough to be visible" means "close enough to suspect nefarious intentions" is a bit spooky.
That far away in the middle of nowhere, it's the equivalent of someone walking through your back yard. Only Cody doesn't have a house he can hide in, and if he did, how long would it take a sheriff's deputy to reach him after he calls 911?
@@JuiceJive I'm not doubting that it's reasonable to be wary out there. I just thought I grew up in the country, but apparently it gets *much* more rural. :D
The bolts where ‘Cold Welding’ them selfs together always use grease when using stainless bolts 👍👍👍👍🖖🖖
Yes stainless bolts are notorious for cold welding themselves. A bit of grease on the threads is a must. If you've got no oil or grease it helps you get them a bit grimy. Even rubbing them in your hair helps.
@@alihaggis78 im imagining a cody with 50 bolts tied to his hair haha
You're repeating what he already said in the video and also you took the opperunity to mash your face against the emoji picker for whatever reason.
I think he picked up some self-sealing stem bolts last time he was on ds9 by mistake.
Brady Wells stainless steel always “Cold welds” if you don’t use grease try it👍👍👍
Hey, Cody discovered stainless steel galling! The proper solution IS lubricating the threads, great job!
...or a slightly different steel composition in the nut will work as well.
Proper fasteners is the proper solution. He was using toy grade hardware, unfortunately. Should always stick to grade 8 for important fastenings - especially an access hatch that will need to be opened several times a year. But, hey - hes doing it... more than most can say.
@@jong2359 I think he chose correctly with stainless steel considering this is a greenhouse, and humidity will be very high(plus dirty water running directly into the bolt, as this is a drainage area. Grade 8 fasteners can rust prematurely in an environment like this, as the finish on the threads is damaged during installation. Even very high quality stainless steel fasteners used in aerospace have galling issues if they aren't lubricated, it's just one of the properties of most alloys of stainless steel. If this hatch is meant to be serviceable, meaning opened often, the threads should be lubricated with something longer lasting than WD-40, like a grease containing ptfe(teflon), specifically Jet-Lube 50350, speaking from experience. Amazing stuff.
@@DavidChadwell It is possible you are right, although I have successfully taken grade 8's out of a 50 year old Mustang fender that lived in the midwest it's whole life. The hardness/density of the steel can be more important than the resistance to rust. The stainless he was using was clearly not quality hardware - being so ductile, but it was what he had. I am definitely not disputing the need for some kind of lubricant for stainless, although I somehow doubt any kind of lubricant is compatible with water systems.
@@jong2359 The low grade stainless steel bolts you can buy at your local hardware store are almost always 18-8 stainless, which is very weak, and ductile relative to a grade 8 bolt, yes. Like everything in life, there are compromises with fasteners too. I would personally take the corrosion resistance over the strength in many applications, and there are definitely greases for water systems. Every mixing valve faucet (like a shower or kitchen sink) in your house has a valve with greased o-rings exposed to the water.
River rock instead of jagged rocks. It will stop it from clogging later down the line. Aquascape and other pond stuff don't use anything with rough edged because it will eventually clog. Just a thought.
I'm always really envious of these types of projects. I wish I had land, tools, material, and time! Really cool stuff.
Watching Cody's videos never fail to cheer me up, hes a genuine person who's passionate about the things hes interested in. His optimism is infectious
You man, are special. Never stop doing this. You're my favorite TH-camr, all I do is smile when one of your videos pop up.
Man I seriously love when Cody posts something.. lately I've been going through some tough stuff and seeing this made me forget everything. Cody man you're awesome, I hope you know how much your videos mean to all of us. Much love brother
Ohwow, you ARE turning into Mark Whatney: dependent on how far you can get by how much you can charge your batteries during the day!:)
CHB is looking great and buddy is already a treasure.
Welcome Buddy! My cat George likes to watch you on the screen! What an adorable pal.
Pick up a good hand saw and a brace and bit set. Even if only as a backup to keep working while the batteries charge
16:47 issues with stainless bolts. This is called galling it will cold weld the steel together application of an aluminum based anti-seize lubricant will lower risk of cold weld
Please don't mix aluminium and stainless, nickel based anti-seize for stainless if you insist on anti-seize. But any lubrication will do, I prefer PTFE paste or vaseline, WD-40 works just fine as well.
Almost nothing seizes up worse than stainless in aluminium.
@@ColtaineCrows a cheap copper based one from any automotive hardware store would work well too no?
These.
Copper is okay but +1 on the PTFE! That stuff is dope.
I tend to use WD 40 or white lithium grease cos that's what I got lying around lol even motor oil would do or lard its only lube
My human brain says "cool he's doing important stuff for survival"
Lizard brain say "less talk more dig! More smash rock"
Lol. Keep up the good work boss.
When a geologist/chemist talks nerdy to you
For a good year-round cooling source, bore a hole 8 feet deep into the earth and circulate air from the greenhouse underground.
Hey Cody,
This project/experiment/adventure/excuse to tinker/prep/practice camp of yours is awesome. You are truly blessed to have the means as well as the will and gumption to do all of this.
Makes me wish I was your buddy and we could get together and just build and tinker all day long:) seriously, I have some great ideas that I just know that you would appreciate, especially if you had someone grafting with you :)
EG.
1) earth battery, you have the space
2) your gas generator, using waste from all the creatures involved in the experiment including yourself and the grow tube
3) I would have suggested mounting/half digging in the grow tubes into that mini cliff over there so that you could use the dirt to control the amount of sun/heat that those tubes get because in my experience it can get a bit much especially seeing at the whole tube is a diffuser and it could get quite intense in there (I realise that's why you have the radiator, can be used to warm up in winter as well ;)
4) water heating system using anything and everything including the pilot light that the natural gas generator would be feeding
5) start to experiment with ways to excavate into that cliffs rock so as to build the most perfectly secure and safe chicken hole residence/laboratory/storage space with a plan of it eventually looking like one of the vaults from the fallout game :p
6) with all that sun. Using PVC pipe to build a solar water heating system that doubles up as an algae growing system that will help feed the grow tubes as well as the gas gen and maybe even an oil press to start making bio diesel.
Dont get me started with everything that I would want to plant, not only for edibles but also for fuel and feed and building materials and and and
Dude! You are my kind of person. Thank you for sharing everything
Pray
TGC
Blessings in abundance
P.S. remember you can also grow by hanging so as to increase growing space. Granadila comes to mind. . . .
:D
Honestly this is my favorite series on youtube. I can't wait to see how much progress you've made a year from now. I'm sure there'll be setbacks at some point but that's to be expected when living on Mars!
"Someone's coming.....I'll load my gun." I hear the new RoboCody model 7 has lazers equipped, time to upgrade!
33:35 When the nam' flashback hits.
Who is nam
Names are proper vowels, proper vowels begin in capital letters; therefore it is not a person.
@@OnlineOriginalUsername don't be a turd
@@amanakeet it's short for Vietnam, and it's a reference to the Vietnam war.
To cody if he ever sees this, its not ideal to cook using cow patties. They’re fine for starting fires, but for cooking you should burn through them and add wood, wait until that’s burned down to some nice white hot ashes, and you have proper cooking temperatures with no risk of contaminating your food.
Also, get a good dutch oven for out there, its a pot with a lid that has raised edges so you can put it in a fire, scoop coals on top of it and cook with heat being applied from all directions. Super useful for outdoors living, and what few pioneers had them loved them.
Have never commented before (I don't think) but have been watching your videos for a very long time- this episode just made me want to say thank you for all the dedication, time and effort you put into everything you do. I love it when I see another of your videos has come out- they're always the first thing I watch. Amazing idea and such a likeable guy! Hope you're surviving lockdown alright Cody.
Container is food grade but I imagine the plastic shingles aren’t so charcoal was prob a good call
I'm pretty sure the buckets are food grade as well, because I believe they're the same buckets he used in his hydroponics system. I'm sure he was talking about the corrugated plastic when he said it was food grade, because I imagine the intended purpose of those sheets is for rainwater collectors.
@@tissuepaper9962 werent those even plastic buckets used for ketchup/mayo in large quantities?
@@TheKnaeckebrot I think they were for frosting, can't quite remember.
How important is food grade plastic in hydroponic systems? Won't the plants grow anyeay? Will some plants possibly become poisonous or?
@@Floedekage It's not really about the health of the plants, but more the health of the fish living in that water. You don't want to poison your fish with chemicals leeched from the plastics in your system because they're fundamental to the whole thing.
33:39 i like how you have a compost ptsd flashback. Over the winter I had a raccoon or possum rip open my compost bin and scatter it all over the ground searching for scraps so I understand compost ptsd.
It was the raccoon, I swear. 😅
cody, my dogs can tear appart the wire on the top of the chicken pen, coyotes arent different.
i really hope you see this message.
What do you suggest?
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 the same wire thats on the walls? on the ceiling too
Yea, that stuff would just serve as a warning system to wake you up to Chase it away
At what looked to be around a 6ft fence, I don't think the top will be as much of an issue as the bottom, but Cody's really close by. He'd probably hear any ruckus going on.
@@KairHatchet Doesn't that stress out the birds?
I liked the view of the single mountain centered in the hole, during the time lapse of him cutting the pipes.
Cody, I've been subbed to you since you attempted to gold plate your bumper on your truck! This series is by far my favorite one of yours by far. I enjoyed the 30+ minute episode! Keep up the good work and stay safe, brother!
Watching these gives me that fiery, get-stuff-done, learn-new-shit spark that I really felt when I was so new to science. These videos really are good for the soul and mind. Time to get off my ass and do some cool shit!
I'm surprised he didn't say "I'll load the trebuchet"
I was so stoked when I saw a new episode! AND it's a long one... AWESOME!
You rock, Cody!
That zoomed in view when the truck was coming was so awesome for someone like me from Kansas to see.
Ok this is officially my favorite youtube project. This is so awesome, even more than the Colinfurze bunker. I am eager to see the next update.
As weird as it seems, I recommend padlocking the chicken coop gate, and also putting chainlink over the top of the coop. Also reinforcing the chainlink with hardware cloth. As others have also commented, coyotes will climb up and over fences, but I've also seen them chew right through zipties and fencing wire used to hold gates closed. Hell, right through chicken wire fences too if it means there's a tasty meal on the other side. Gotta keep the birbs safe!
the media: “keep 6 foot spacing for safety”
Nobody:
Cody: “60 miles?”
Drew if you're wondering about his gun. in all the scablands, only 2-ish are regularly there in all America. The only people this far out are hooligans & gangs... and Cody. It was his safest bet.
2 metres in Europe - must be a more powerful strain here I guess
You seem to have forgotten to type what "Nobody" said.
everyone: this meme format is dead
also everyone: *continues using this meme format*
nosferatu5 if nobody said nothing, would anything change? I think he meant to type "everybody"
This was such an awesome episode, really enjoyed the longer one and can’t wait to see what’s coming up next for you and Buddy!
I love this line: "There it is! Holds my weight okay. Serves the purpose.
..
I don't like it."
Like a wintergarden mmx video
Great work Cody. A lot of us are extremely excited about your project. Well done on your progress through this video.
