A geodesic dome is a portion – typically around half – of a geodesic sphere, which is defined as “an arrangement of triangles that approximates a true sphere”. The video shows a step by step guide to how to build a 24 foot geodesic dome using PVC pipe and Zip Ties. You can also use other materials and more sturdy domes can be constructed using steel, with a fitted canvas cover.
Geodesic domes are regarded as structurally superior to box shaped structures. Being comprised of triangles, they are incredibly stable since the triangle is the only polygon that retains its shape by nature. This gives the dome a unique stability that makes it highly resistant to forces like earthquakes, wind, and even tornadoes.
After the World War II, the legendary architect and engineer R. Buckminster Fuller was seeking a way to create affordable housing that could be fabricated efficiently and rapidly from simple components. Fuller investigated began to work with “spherical” shapes made with a latticework of strips which formed triangles. He named the geodesic dome from a Greek word which means “earth dividing”. A geodesic dome is constructed in a similar manner to a football, with hexagons and pentagons creating the overall shape; however each hexagon and pentagon are divided into triangles.

Nowadays as the push for sustainable living continues, domes offer affordable and smart ways to house humans. When compared with a similar sized rectangular-shaped house, the dome home will have 30 percent less surface area. That means that a third less heat is transferred to and from its surroundings, saving the dome homeowner about 30% percent on their average heating and cooling bill. Since they are extremely efficient, geodesic domes are enjoying the kind of popularity not seen since their prime in the late ’60s’.
However, geodesic domes still have their downsides: The dome’s unusual makes it difficult to integrate standard building components and following code requirements for chimneys and sewer vents can be challenging. Also, privacy takes some ingenuity because a singular dome is not easy to partition suitably – unless several smaller, interconnected domes are created (which works very well). A further challenge is that angular walls can be difficult to utilize, and headroom may be limited near the edge in certain designs (this is overcome when the dome reaches a certain size).
As a result of these challenges, Geodomes have not really taken off as a housing design, though they are out there. However they do make excellent temporary structures for camping and events. Ok, here’s the video:
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:
