Here’s an interesting video from Kirsten Dirksen showing a 100% off-grid home made from two shipping containers. The home is on top of a mountain in the Australia.
This container home is entirely off the grid, with no municipal water or electrical supply. The electricity comes from solar, with 12 x 250W panels and two banks of T-105 lead-acid batteries; the type that are used in golf carts. These are not maintenance-free batteries. The appliances (apart from modem and phone chargers) are “normal” household ones rather than 12V, with an inverter providing the power. Paul says that it is very rare that he needs to run the generator.
One of the containers has a rainwater collection system on the roof. The rainwater catchment roof is attached with regular scaffolding and also doubles as a shade structure keeping the sun off the roof.
We learn that our intrepid couple are used to the remote life, having lived in north-east Scotland. Moving from there to Australia for a work opportunity was a big change with the promist of adventure, but they quickly discovered that the suburban life was sapping all the joy out of their existence – so they opted for taking the bold step of purchasing 2 x 40 foot shipping containers.
After a significant challenge finding a suitable plot of land, they were fortunate to locate a landowner who let them have a space “to go play” in return for doing some work on the property. Perfect situation!
One of the joys of shipping containers is that they are very “modular”. You can stack them, join them, cut window spaces wherever you like and bolt fittings into them with ease. We learn that our homemakers have no formal training in home building but a general background in DIY and a ‘positive mindset’ – the attitude that anyone can learn to do anything.
However Paul explains that as much effort ultimately goes into one of these homes as a regular house – because you need real insulation, running water and all the other various systems that you would have in ordinary housing. Looks like he is doing almost everything himself!
Another benefit of a shipping container is that the high ceilings (I think either 8′ or 9’6″ depending on the type) facilitate putting in several inches thick insulation – which is vital if you are going to be living in a metal box, which would be boiling in summer and freezing in winter!
We learn that the project has taken over three years – but this is in addition to doing a full time job and purchasing materials whenever the funds are there to do so. Paul used recycled materials wherever possible. The total estimated cost was around $80,000 AUD (around $61,000 USD).

This Crazy Off Grid Device Literally Makes Drinkable Water From Fresh Air:
According to NASA, the U.S. is expecting a 100-YEAR LONG MEGADROUGHT.
It's already begun. Ask the farmers in California. They know.
Every survivalist knows that water is of critical importance. You NEED an independent water source that you can count on!
As an interesting "survival rehearsal" - imagine that you turned the tap on right now and nothing came out. How long would you last?
But what if there was another water source literally hidden in plain sight. That's right, I'm talking about the atmosphere!
The amazing thing about getting water from the natural moisture in the air... is that it is ALWAYS available.
This gives you real water security!

� What Tinnitus Does To Your Brain Cells (And How To Stop It)
After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.
As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.
Even more interesting: The reason why top army officials are not deaf after decades of hearing machine guns, bombs going off and helicopter noises...
Is because they are using something called "the wire method", a simple protocol inspired by a classified surgery on deaf people from the 1950s...
Most People Don't Have The Guts To Try This:
An amazing discovery in an abandoned house in Austin, Texas: A lost book of amazing survival knowledge, believed to have been long vanished to history, has been found in a dusty drawer in the house which belonged to a guy named Claude Davis.
Remember... back in those days, there was no electricity... no refrigerators... no law enforcement... and certainly no grocery store or supermarkets... Some of these exceptional skills are hundreds of years of old and they were learned the hard way by the early pioneers.

We've lost to history so much survival knowledge that we've become clueless compared to what our great grandfathers did or built on a daily basis to sustain their families.
Neighbors said that for the last couple of years Claude has tried to unearth and learn the forgotten ways of our great-grandparents and claimed to have found a secret of gargantuan proportions. A secret that he is about to reveal together with 3 old teachings that will change everything you think you know about preparedness:
