I Made a Tiny Natural Swimming Pool - Here's How 

For real. I wouldn't swim in it, but nice.

​@@martinosborne6635my exact reaction

Bro factssss😂

😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊⁰

I agree. It has inspired me to build one on our 1 hectare plot.

It's also a good way to get yourself killed by unsupported excavation. Unless you think you can withstand 1800kg per cubic meter collapsing on you.

Agreed 👍

@@karlmeyer9473 I was thinking the same thing.

Theres a company in California that builds these pools but its extremely expensive. Maybe if it didn't cost so much more ppl would be inclined to get them

I thought so, too! He really built an ecosystem ❤ When the plants grow and the birds & insects vusit you know you have created something special 🎉

Kinda looked like he was building a WW1 trench

Thinking about getting into it myself! Very inspiring.. hard work I bet. What wasn’t working out with them, if you don’t mind me asking?

No. They will just think about dad crushed in unsupported excavation....

@@karlmeyer9473 how is It unsupported? It has been dug out perfectly, and lined with layers and layers of fabric and bricks and the water is pushing outwards on those layers all the time.

Agreed🤩⭐️💖

​@karlmeyer9473 what drugs are you on dr?

@@HOFMC-OFFICIAL i wish i could disable the comment section. Haha and its becoming such a habit to just have a flick through.

Meanwhile me who even watched it on 2x speed lmao

yep I agree

I would watch the hour long video though 😂

Well it definitely felt like an hour though😂

Sadly, it wouldn't work here...would end up with brain-eating amoeba. Know your water temps, before copying this idea for swimming.

@@FVWhimsy2010 so simply cool your water off and re-circulate it back in with a small solar powered pump.

@@FVWhimsy2010 exactly. he just created a swamp. no running water? ewww

@@nofurtherwest3474 did you not see the video

@@FVWhimsy2010where do you live?

And his 70+ year old friend! amazing effort men

No

Nothing like plastic pool liner for the ecosystem.

​@@thexanderthemanderwhat's worse, him using a plastic pool liner or the fact that it attracted and made a little ecosystem for wildlife🙄

Just be careful and watch your kuds all the time

Same 😂

Worse are some buys milk or go to prison and they are very common among certain people.

The difference between a modern swimming pool and this absolute GEM is mind-blowing - the former being a significant net-negative to the environment as well as being a very expensive make-work project (bought a house with a pool, glad I’m not there anymore )

The newts and others will soon get rid of the mosquitoe larvae. We never had a problem with our nature mini lake once they moved in. Just watch any chemicals you use in the area as they can be deadly to the pond life.

It has a filter

Has a bubble powered circulation system- aka a filter.

Delighted to hear that. Thank you

I bet they don’t have snakes over there

@@randywilson6869😂

The only venomous snake in the uk is the black adder, I think.

@@randywilson6869 you wouldn't dare do this in Florida and jump in feeling safe.

@@101yayoAnd he is just grumpy and sarcastic, not dangerous at all.

Why exactly is this much better than a pool full of chlorine? I mean… When it comes to swimming, I’d much rather have the pool for my grand children to swim in, versus a snake pit.😅

Bro no way I love this pool too. I think we watch the same things a lot

@@avrilmiller2028 we must have good taste in videos😃

its not "natural" if it's lined with plastic. fake title

@@nofurtherwest3474 my point was elsewhere. Irrigation has dried out most of the wetlands in many countries and it's impossible to reverse it in most places as it is used as farmlands so only way to bring back wetland species is to create many ponds to keep up their life needs. Even these ponds aren't natural these are great deal for natural wetland species especially ponds without fish.

@@nofurtherwest3474 theres functionally no difference between a stone basin with plantable surfaces, a clay basin with plantable surfaces, and a plastic one with plantable surfaces,

@@marsilt either make a wetland or a pool. a wetland is not meant for humans to swim in.

@@athena1491 this isn't a real pond. a real pond naturally fluctuates with the water table and other forces.

In my opinion, this filter has no effect as far as bacteria are concerned. Not all ideas are as good in reality as they seem in our heads. As this uncle will soon find out if he lets the kids swim in it.

I doubt anything bad will happen, but I'd be highly interested in more on what this bacteria brain attacker is. I'm sure there are tons and tons of documented cases

I believe he addresses it here 5:48

Naegleria fowleri

i was not ready for that joke and I almost died laughing out loud

😂
