Ron! Long time no see! You guys look great! Thanks for all you do! Your presence at the Earthship Academy completely changed my life and I'm forever grateful!

I've always been curious about the ones in the mountain. Thanks for making this video.

I absolutely adore earth ships ❤️ Such a remote location. I wonder if they get any Sasquatch action 😂

Thanks for another amazing video. You have reminded me of when I got to spend a week, maybe 20 years ago, in Santa Fe, on business, and had booked one day for "personal business," a trip up through Taos (the day after the first snowfall of the year, in October, when everything shut down so people could go skiing), to 5000 feet elevation in the Carson National Forest, where we saw a big, beautiful, white-golden wolf, who was calmer as it watched us than we were watching it, and then back down to the desert, past Abiqui, where Georgia O'Keeffe made her home. It is one of the most memorable days of my life that didn't involve a major family life-cycle event, and I've lived 71 years! ❤️❤️❤️

Love this .... thank you so much for posting!

Awesome sustainability 👍🏾

This is FREAKING AWESOME!!!! 😁😁

I learned quite a bit from this video. Especially about the fireplace sucking through all the cold drafty areas of the house. I had no idea.

You can get wood burning systems that suck the “make up air” from outside to mitigate these issues

it's best to have an air feed to a wood burner ideally a pipe running from outside that has a vent under or near the stove.

amazing beautiful keeps me motivated and hopeful 🙏🏼✨♥️

so unique....just hope they have a system at the top where water can trickle down the mountain and around the houses as i worry about forest fires.

This home in a mountain does remind me in a bigger extent of a so called Earthship and this has good reasons. There is shown a broad glass window with a big latitude. And under the window there are plants. And the sun shines through this broad window into the house and on the plants and herbs that are connected to the sewage water of the bathroom. And above the broad window there are photovoltaic solar panels. All these features of that mountain home are identical with the features of the typical Michael Reynolds Earthship. So I even would the home of that Nordic woman is a Mountain Earthship indeed. 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

Great solution!! Love this!!

Fantastic Video!

I love these earthships! If it were me i would incorporate a chicken coop next to the kitchen with a dividing wall and a small door to collect fresh eggs. Perhaps a small pond would work as well to raise tilapia/catfish in the plant beds.

Then there are edible water plants eg kankong, (know by other names I think one is water spinach) This area could be divided by mesh and the fish etc would fertilise the plants automatically 😁

I love the idea of earthships, but in this community I don't see even one square foot of outside garden space. Do these homes have huge pantry storage? I didn't see even any greenhouse production. This house would be suitable for someone who is slim, fit, and spry . . . and probably youngish. It also seems kind of claustrophobic for those of us who need lots of light and fewer but large rooms. There are some great ideas here, though.

This Community was one of the 1st built by Earthship Biotecture and is of Michael Reynolds earliest designs. They've improved dramatically over the decades, though these are a testament to how well built these structures are.

5:32 This is an awful fire hazard! Gosh, get those cheap wood planks away from the batteries. Do better maintenance on said batteries as well. There is rust on some of its components. Renovate the room so that there are no flammable materials left in there anymore. Prepare a way to stop any fires incase one ignites. I don't think, the local fire brigade would be able to get there in time and help put one out. Even with all that realised, batteries can still randomly combust. And if they catch fire here, they will not only burn the house down, but also the entire forest on this mountain. Please fix this!

I think that since she’s been so involved with earths hips for so long she knows, has built, and has experienced the replacements for each of the weaknesses in this earlier gen house and is just imagining what it will take to have to replace and rebuild the parts. I think she also has a house in Greater World that is much simpler and easier to operate. I have the same feeling about my house but I am far from being over it. I can’t wait to fix and upgrade everything.

Too many windows that’s why your cold.. I would build window covers or shutters for the wintertime but awesome awesome!!… love it.

I’m just realizing I think a home by mine is a old earth ship that has been built into over the years! So cool!

I have seen somewhere how the water goes into the cold water pipe!

Do you have good air flow to get rid of the hydrogen gas? ( the by product from batteries charging.) . I once worked in a battery shop that had a wire over the batteries at about head hieght so that should a battery explode, all one had to do is swing ones arms up to hit the wire which started shower water flow all allong the battery shelf area.. We were told if we observed such an accident we were to hold the person's eye open so the acid would get washed out. ( for at least 15 minutes I believe it was said. )

I love their home! It’s so pretty and I love the fact they produce their own energy and water. And the plants in the home are gorgeous! Just a neat, neat style/way of living. I wish the video would have shown the bathtub better. Like looking into it. Not just the outside. But I love the plaster/concrete work with the bottles. And the tiles. So unique and beautiful. Enjoyed watching! ❤️💜💚

I love the idea but man I would want more space between neighbors. Might as well live in the same house haha

Hmmm....wonder if Amazon delivers there???..😉

They are not practical for the mainstream. Some of the principles could certainly be more mainstream such as re-using grey water, that will likely be more common in coming years.

Where do you learn how to do this?

Most likely YT Be specific in what you want to know. Eg how to build wall out of tyres. Although you could try how to build house using sun as heating etc Canadian prepper did a video with a person who grew veges all year round using positioning of sun to ensure warmth and painted the back wall black / or for storage to reduce reduction of warmth. 👍💕💕

They should be using a rocket

Drill a real well. Pneumatic rotary...

I love Earthships but that build site seems sketchy AF. I hope they are OK in the long run but it seems like they are one forest fire/big rain from their homes sliding off the mountain.

It's not remotely "sketchy AF". That Community was built by the Architect Michael Reynolds of Earthship Biotecture, who invented Earthships, and has been there more than 30 years. And yes, it's been through at least 1 fire. The fronts of the buildings burnt but the tire walls were undamaged.

Is there a lot of rain there though? I thought their problem was the opposite or is it different since they are in a mountain? Also wouldn't they be harvesting a lot of the water so it doesn't actually run down naturally?

Hi FLORB, It would have been helpful and informative if, you posted the name of this mountain, its' location & the full name of the community itself.( I just Googled a few things and airships, came up!!) in the heading, because I couldn't catch what she called the mountain, with her American accent and how fast she's speaking. Did she say '' Val Dez''? I want to Google it, that's why. Thank you.
