Here’s another feature about Earthships – sustainable homes for the future! This video by Earthship Biotecture, part one of a series, takes us on a guided tour of an Earthship, showing all of the systems that make it one of the most environmentally sound building ideas to date – this one has no utility bills to pay at all!
Earthships use a “passive solar design” (ie all of the windows are on the south side) to make the most of heat and light from the sun. Building thick walls from used tyres and earth gives them a large thermal mass that will absorb heat and make a dramatic difference “evening out” the temperature – helping the house to keep the house warm in winter and cool in summer. In some instances, this is so effective that no additional heating or cooling is required! Additional power is supplied by solar and wind generators.
The water recycling system is very efficient – rainwater is harvested and used water goes for irrigation or is treated within the home. So it’s possible to live completely off-grid with a set-up like this!
Another bonus: Earthships can provide a safe structure in areas where extreme weather is likely; they are made partly below ground, with very thick walls – so they can stand up well to hurricanes. They are currently being made in areas of the Philippines, following the recent typhoon disaster, and even on Easter Island!
40 million tyres are discarded yearly in the UK alone! An average Earthship home takes around 1,000 tyres to make – which means you have a free material to use in up to 40,000 houses a year! Where can you get that many tyres from? Scrap yards tend to charge even for old tyres, some of the bigger garages will not give them away as they have already contracted for them to be removed. One of the best ways is to go to smaller garages or independent suppliers – they are generally more willing to give them to you for free. It’s worth paying a small amount for a load so that you can obtain a receipt, which must declare that the tyres are “part worn” rather than waste (they are intended for re-use after all!) as you would need a special license to handle waste.
In the UK, tyres are banned from landfill and have to be disposed of separately because of the leaching of chemicals or gases (called “off-gassing”) from tyres as they degrade. This is mainly a problem when the tyres are shredded or exposed to the elements – whereas in a wall that is sealed on the inside and packed with earth, there is no risk to health. It’s possible to use other materials to give thermal mass to a wall if you’re concerned – the Earthship site has loads of info, including a full technical report on offgassing that you can see here: http://earthship.com/offgassing

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:

What REALLY Happens When You Bury a Shipping Container? (Hint: It's A Bit Crazy...)
Shipping containers are all the rage - but if you are thinking about buying one, you MUST watch this video first:
Do not, I repeat do NOT do what these lunatics did! Can you spot the "fatal mistake" they made?
There's a general belief that if you bury a shipping container you can create an awesome root cellar / storm shelter / survival bunker.
But is a shipping container strong enough to handle the pressure?

I Can't Help Showing This Off:
If you haven't heard of Claude Davis yet do yourself a huge favor and watch this video.
One of the smartest guys I ever had the pleasure of meeting, Claude set-up a unique prepping system that changed his life forever.
I already tried it myself and let me tell... you I was completely blown away... His surprising tactics could make your life easier and give you the peace of mind you deserve.
Don't just take my word for it... watch his short video and decide for yourself.
