- Splitting logs with explosives
- hand made glass

its on now, cooking on farts tonight The chair was brilliant! All the stuff about methane makes you think about the wasted opportunity for "free" energy (especially as we have 3 dogs...) |

I've been watching it when I can and I'm absolutely blown away by his antics!
Admittedly, he's cheated a couple of times, (the plyboard on the inside of the cabin for one), but that chair was outstanding and his vision with regards to utilising old and almost forgotten methods of sustenance and comfort are inspiring!

Admittedly, he's cheated a couple of times, (the plyboard on the inside of the cabin for one), but that chair was outstanding and his vision with regards to utilising old and almost forgotten methods of sustenance and comfort are inspiring! Considering the scale of the build, the small number of cheats (other than a huge amount of helpful friends!) is pretty impressive. I watched with interest and would absolutely love to live like this. I wouldn't be able to work full time due to the work required to run the place, but I wouldn't need to if I was that much more self sufficient. I very much doubt the good lady would be up for it though. Was I the only one who felt it a little ironic that the public was being invited to tweet about it? |

Oh it wasn't a criticism by any manner of means, just an observation. |

I absolutely love the programme but some of it is a bit over the top really. Collecting sackfulls of dogshit?  ?? Surely that big curse word container in his garden must absolutely stink. Also, would he not need some sort of licence to store/produce such quantities of explosive gas? |

Must say I'm really enjoying this, but I tend to like most programs he does present.
Does make you wonder why we don't re-use waste, everyone needs to poo, everyone needs to cook/keep warm - why not harvest it.
