In this inspiring and quirky video from the FLORB Youtube Channel, we see Ian Turnbull’s amazing “Nature Sanctuary” that he built at the legendary Findhorn Foundation Community about 30 years prior to the making of the video.


It took around 6 months to create this building and it was admittedly “Hobbit-inspired”. What’s interesting is that we learn that the building was not very carefully planned but that he somewhat made it up “organically” as he went along. He didn’t even know how big it was going to be – marking the floor with a simple string line and flour! In poetic tones he describes the gneiss rock – a billion years old – that he used for the walls.

The floor was made from slate and we can see that it was laid in a mandala-like circular pattern. It was designed to represent the Jungian feminine archetype and to contrast with the “solar” symbolism of the roof. Very cosmic.

Ian described himself playfully as a “scrounger”, making use of whatever materials he was able to source locally. Window frames were made from old whiskey barrels and other parts of the building were sourced “serendipitously” from materials that happened to be at hand.

The roof used a waterproof membrane (thankfully) and then turf was laid on top to make a green roof. A steel cable runs around the building, holding the roof poles and preventing the roof from spreading.

The door was made from ash, from a locally-sourced log that he took to a sawmill and had cut. Decades later it’s still in good shape.

Despite the extremely unorthodox approach to the building, it seems that he created something not only beautiful but durable. I highly doubt you would ever get planning permission for something like this and we learn that he had some interesting challenges with the local council! However we can enjoy his efforts and wild ingenuity vicariously from afar.


Finally he leaves us with a quote “A man who works with his hands is a laborer. A man who works with his hands and his mind is a craftsman. A man who works with his hands, his mind and his heart is an artist.”

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...

Lost Ways Of Survival Video

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.
