Probably smells really good too. I use that for seasoning my cast iron skillets sometimes.

He's the same one that wrote the Humanure Handbook. I'm pretty sure he recommends separating the urine in that book. But I don't think it really matters either way. We put the urine in and it's heavier and more liquid, but you can compost waste without the urine just fine. I use the lid because I want to keep the smell down and the bugs out. If you leave the bucket open, you are more likely to get things in there, even if you cover everything with sawdust. I made this improvement because I don't like the stink that is inevitable in this system. Sawdust is not a vapor barrier and things like odor can easily permeate it or dig into it. Flies of all kinds can smell poop, even through a thick layer of sawdust. I also don't want to have to dump 4 inches of sawdust in the bucket each time I go, and somehow make sure that every little bit is covered. It takes minimal effort to take the lid off and put it back on. It does no harm and it ensures smell and bugs are limited. If you haven't tried this system, maybe try it first before thinking everything you read is true. I've been doing it for 17 years. Unless scientific research has been done on the topic, i don't know if you can believe much you read in a book. Obviously, you can put your waste in a bucket and dump it in a pile and compost it and it will break down. Ideally you'd have high temps to kill pathogens, but pathogens can't survive outside the body in the ground for more than 1.5 years. That's based on actual scientific research. But I haven't read the book you're referring to.

What smoke out of the door?

The one the charred your door. The chimney was supposed to be able to suck all the smoke right?

I am working in a double chamber oven and one of my goals this time is to avoid this smoke out of the door.

@@mmoellerdeoliveira Well, when you are heating the oven with the initial fire you would close the door and all the smoke would go up the chimney, but the pizza baker keeps the door open and a couple logs burning throughout the time he's baking pies. The fire in there while baking gives the pizza a crispy slightly burnt crust, which adds flavor and is traditional for a pizza oven. But it also means some smoke is escaping throughout the time he's making pizzas. As long as the door is open, you are going to be having some smoke coming out.

That sounds great. You are lucky to have a culture still connected to the land, customs, and community in that way. We had to create it from scratch because it was lost long ago in our country. I'm sorry your country has had to experience invasion and war. Stay safe.

You could do that but the tassels continue to develop and release pollen for a few days. If you cut it off it won't be able to do that.

What could a hurricane do to an earth-bermed building? It's unlikely to be affected.

Works great with bread as well as pizza. The pizza and flatbreads would be baked first at higher temperatures and as the over cools you can bake other foods like loaves of bread, casseroles, or literally anything else you'd bake in an oven.

Yes, that's correct. The chimney pretty much just prevents the smoke from going out the door.

That sounds like a traditional outhouse. This is the way a lot of outhouses are still made, even in parks today. The problem with that system is that it doesn't make use of the waste, which is a valuable resource and can be used to improve soil. Knowledge of bacteria would have taught them that after a few years pathogens would be unlikely to be present because they can't survive long outside the human body. The hole method is definitely the easiest way to deal with human waste, but drainage into water supplies has to be considered still. Same with our humanure system, but after only about 1.5 years, the composted waste will be perfectly safe to put anywhere and will not contaminate water supplies.

@@HardcoreSustainable I would argue they absolutely benefited from the humanure, because like I said, they planted fruit trees, grapevine and berry bushes a couple of years later around those old holes...It definitely improved the soil in the area and their garden wasn't terribly huge. Just not for annual vegetables and they waited quite a bit of time to plant in and around old holes.

@@christianmama2441 I thought you said they would only "on occasion" plant on top of them, but not usually. I'm sure if you planted something like a tree on the old pit it would help it grow better. But with the humanure system you can redistribute the composted waste without having to excavate a hole, and put the compost where you want it.

yes that's correct. Fridges are usually between 32 and 40 F.

It's actually the opposite because it's based on science and evidence. You could not be more wrong and obviously have no understanding of what science or religion is. I'm surprised you survive without using all the products science has given you, such as the computer you're writing you arrogant comment on. Just sayin'.

I have done them again a few times since this video. the big challenge has been to keep them from drying out in storage over the winter.

@@HardcoreSustainable I wonder... If you pack them in damp sand like we store carrots and potatoes; if they would keep over winter?

@@jenntek.101 It's worth a try. Usually that's not the storage that's recommended for onions. Usually it's dry and between 40-50 F.

Yeah, my plan was to have the extended version be a paid online workshop, but it didn't seem worth it. You get free content with no effort and yet you complain. Most videos on you tube are NOT done as workshops and no one assumes they will be. The entire channel called Primitive Technology is just the guy showing stuff and not explaining it and it gets millions of views. People actually prefer to watch videos like this that don't explain what's going on.

@@HardcoreSustainable I complained about the deception that is disrespectful and wasteful. I praised your job. But thanks for ... wasting my time? Free garbage is not exactly a gift. But hey you can think you did a service and I can think you didn't.

@@maker7363 Watch some other channel then.

@@HardcoreSustainable LOL. Wayyy ahead of ya.. but thanks

Acrylic?? You mean paint? No, this is natural building.

yes it does stay hot for much longer.

You must be clueless.

I would definitely recommend lime plaster instead of earthen. You can do earthen exterior, but you have to build large overhangs to protect from the weather and expect to replaster pretty regularly. This is done annually in some parts of the world where earthen plaster is traditional.

You can drive a car. We have a vehicle co-op and you can drive as much and wherever you want if there is a vehicle available. Some people refrain from doing that because they don't want to drive a lot for environmental reasons or because they don't want to spend the money on using the car all the time. If people don't like not being able to use a personal vehicle, they decide not to live in the village. Cults control people so they can't leave and members have to follow the rules set by a cult leader. None of these things are true of our village. It sounds like you just don't like not having the luxury of a personal vehicle and the ability to own it and not have anyone else use it. There's nothing about our village that requires members to neglect their own lives in favor of the group. In fact, currently I think the village is suffering because people are taking advantage of the shared resources but not doing enough to maintain them. We can't find a person to do maintenance for our tractor co-op, but people using the tractor all the time complain that the tractor is not working. These same people have never taken a turn at being the maintenance person. In this situation I think we need to start requiring everyone to take a turn if they are going to reap the benefits of use of a tractor. There are plenty of neighborhoods in the world of the kind you talk about. I've lived in them. They are not the same as living in an intentional community, but it sounds like you like your individuality.

I had already done that, but it continued to sink. As well, as the straw insulation degraded, it stopped insulating the floor. So I needed to redo the floor to reinstall better insulation.

@@HardcoreSustainable Oh that makes sense. Thanks for the reply. Do you think strawbale walls would face similar issues with the straw degrading? Do you think in your case the only reason the straw was degrading in the floor is because it wasn't sealed properly?

@@Pokoyo1346 The strawbale walls are high and dry. I don't think there is a possibility of the same issue with them. The floor has a vapor barrier between it and the ground, but the straw insulation was still right on top of the ground and under the earthen floor, so it was much more prone to moisture, and actually I think pill bugs brought a lot of the moisture in and broke down a lot of the straw. The walls are too high and dry to be able to get pill bugs in them.

I think that was offgassing from the sealant.
