image – Exploring Alternatives
There is a hot new trend in the alternative construction industry: shipping container homes – which use steel as a structural element. Shipping container architecture has grown in popularity over the past several years because it is more eco-friendly than traditional homebuilding architecture: It uses far less materials in total and the container, being steel, is fully recyclable. Other advantages offered include inherent structural strength, fire resistance, pest proofing, speed of construction, portability, expandability, wide availability and relatively low expense!
The popularity of container homes did not go unnoticed in the off-grid community. A second-hand shipping container has become an ideal building block for off-grid living space. One comfy looking shipping container home built on a mountain in British Columbia, Canada went viral last month after its owner published a YouTube video about his peculiar abode.
Constructed from three 20-foot shipping containers joined together, the stunning off-grid shipping container home was designed by Adam Hellicar of Honeybox, Inc., a Canadian company specializing in container box architecture. Adam used twist lock fasteners to bolt the middle container to a cement foundation slab. Lashing rods enabled the two other containers to be connected to the central one.
Adam’s project has a single goal, which is to showcase the potential of shipping containers as material for creating unique living spaces. According to Adam, the structure is 100-percent off-grid. His container home is equipped with 800-watt solar panels which generate electricity for lights, electrical outlets, and a pump for running water. He uses a wood burning stove for heat while propane provides the energy for the home’s hot water heater, refrigerator and range/oven. A composting toilet is also available.
A gutter and downspout system was installed by Hellicar to divert water off the roof. Any leaks from the top gutter are saved by a second gutter. The rainwater harvesting system fills two large water tanks for all non-potable water uses such as washing dishes and showering. Adam currently elects to purchase his drinking water because he doesn’t have a filter yet and the water from the well is ferrous.
Hellicar’s home is mobile so taking it apart and reassembling it to another location is not an issue. It takes three to four hours to disconnect the sections.
Shipping containers are perfect for off-grid living. Outlined below are the benefits of shipping container homes:
• Shipping containers are cost-effective, and (depending on fittings) you may only need a few thousand dollars to build one.
• Shipping containers have a smaller footprint on the ground and it is possible to stack up to nine containers when fully loaded.
• Shipping containers are widely available.
• Shipping containers’ modular design allows easy construction using multiple “building blocks”.
• Shipping containers are sustainable because you are recycling something that could end up as a waste material if not reused, and can be recycled again when finished with!

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.
