this stove is described fairly thoroughly and I felt like it may be a good one to try to replicate when the time comes. This serves as my bookmark for it Hope you like it. Cheers!

cold box, canoes and cabins
This gentleman is an inspiration. He is unafraid to tackle anything with creativity and his own two hands. Check out the cabin that he built from harvesting trees from the bay around the 12:30 mark…amazing!
best small house 2013…
okay, so this isn’t my pick for best small house 2013, but it is pretty fantastic. Give it a look. Could you live in something this small? Smaller? Enjoy!

Waste Oil Heating Stove

Off-grid washing machine
I’ve seen this idea before, but never engineered in such a way that the bike (as well as the wash tub) remained completely mobile.
unique solar dehydrator
This is a very simple design on the cheap for a large solar dehydrator. I’m finding more and more dehydrated foods that I really enjoy eating. Thought this would be a good video for future reference.
home built from the unwanted/reclaimed
Love the idea of building a home from the things that others are going to throw away. This is such a creative use of materials and space. Not necessarily my taste but I enjoy seeing the beauty in things once discarded.
