Kevin Schot and his Earth Ship home in Sweden 

Big indian man and tiny viking talk about sustainable housing. God I love this world sometimes.

Love that he WATCHED the land a year before he did anything. Wonderful ❤️

Leo Yankton, your spirit will live on forever in all the things that you did and lives that you touched.

I just wanted to add something I was waiting for Kevin to say when describing the degradation or off gassing of the tires. He explained it well but I think he might have conveyed the concept better if this was included. Oxygen exposure drives degrading of the rubber but if you thoroughly entomb the rubber in plaster it's not exposed to oxygen. It's essentially mummifying the rubber so to speak. I had mixed feeling about using tires until I read that description.

The man from scotland is so shy. But He has so much to show, sure it is not finished but definitely a couse to be very proud of what he has already done.

He reminds me of Tim Booth. Humble, soft-spoken and well-spoken... Just love him.

His home is a beautiful work of art!! Earthships are a living home that provides everything one needs to live!! They are a brilliant way to build and should be how we all live!! Cheers

I want to emphasize one thing - Some people out in the world, America and elsewhere, believe that Sweden is some kind of ecological and enviromentalist paradise. It is not. More than once have people like Kevin, and myself and others, with projects like this encountered huge resistance from the authorites. The notion of the enviromentalist paradise is more to apply on Germany or Norway or the Baltic countries today. Still there are enthusiasts struggeling in Sweden.

Burying tires is the best way of neutralizing toxins that are in them . To think that these toxic particles are near all major roads . Respect for the environment now is key to the survival of all living things .

I like that this one has a much bigger greenhouse area and they just use sky lights for light in the rooms further back.

Natives are beautiful. The people of the Earth. You had it right, and lived symbiotically with nature. The establishment nearly destroyed this... and we shall rebuild it together. God bless you. If you're in Colorado... I would be happy to help you build!

Love Earthship homes.Where I live I dowsed the property and were on top of a lot of shallow water.We'd have to do the dirt up over it if it was done here.I love the ability to just be more natural in our homes and lives.Thank you so much for sharing this home with us.And Thank you for finding this man to share his home with us.You truely are a blessing to watch.

The house just continues and continues. Awesome! 😃

there are tire walls in Upstate NY, and the tires go back to the 1940's. The walls, are still standing.

I love this guy, his one once done his home will last for generation's. He is well read, well worked, and met the right right people like Michael Reynolds. The question on what the tire releases the methane gases is true. But when covered with tons of dirt and concrete, makes them safe and they become your thermal mass. Soak Up the sun during the day holding keeping the house cool them at night releasing the heat it stored keeping your home a constant 65 - 70 degrees. For where Michael Reynolds base stations is in New Mexico that heat is too much but need no fNs, A/C units anD because you build them facing South you get all the sun you need for your green house making it a sort of tropical jungle. I want To say not knowing where everyone lives, here in the U.S.A. Our government is trying to change laws making living off-grid illegal. People get on line and see what your City, County, State, and Federal laws are on the books and monitor your area to be aware when they are trying change the laws, so you can protest of learn all there is about the laws where you are. The Government does not l like not making money or taxes off from Home owners who live off grid. If you don't watch them they will knock on your door and tell you laws have changed and you now have goodnight taxes get hooked up to the Sewer, Water, and Electricity, and that's about $10,000. That is extreme but these homes Earth Ships, Cobb, or Comes are helping our Planet and it needs our help. Doing water catchment, doing water treatment of your waste, soaking up Solar, not using gas powered items are helping our World and not just for us but for our Children. This current deadly Virus is a wake up call. In the earth ships your growing your food, you are processing your waste and your caught stored water catchment processes your water 4 times, and you need no outside help. When you build one of these homes I am talking about these homes Re water proof, lest proof and fire proof. When done building you have no mortgage, no bills at all, no need for a mail box. Think of what you could be doing away from your 40-70 hours work week. If anyone knows of owns an Earth Ship I am asking that Michael Reynolds be nominated for a single Peace Prize. His life's work has been over 50 years he has gone all over the World building, teaching informing all walks of people. Not to get rich I get acclaim, but to save our planet. Look him up watch his videos make a change like this guy did. You will never be sorry. Bug you got a great house and I hope you put out a Video when it's all done can't wait to see you wonderful family home.Thanks

The information exchange looks great

I can hear midnight oil's 'beds are burning'. On the radio in the background

That man is amazing! If more people would be interested in earthships I pretty sure this is the way to the future ❤

Thanks for showing this incredible work. I would just ask if you continue these type of videos to let the builder/architect talk a little longer before you go to your next question, there were a few points where he was elaborating on design choice or story behind something and then was asked a different question.

Thanks for making this video. I've been friends with Kevin on FB for quite a few years. Really great guy. It's good to see some video footage. I'm on a similar path but less solidarity in my area so his influence has kept me going quite a bit. I haven't started on my preferred earthbag home design but after 2020 I'm more driven. I felt the need to become well versed in how to repeatedly grow the same amount of food and save seeds for all my favorite crops first along with fine tuning animal husbandry and compost independence. I prepared the field and now it's time to build the house. Good luck to you on your projects on the reservation Not a Medicine Man!

Obtainable & sustainable pathways to a secure future. Respects!!

Dear brother..... if only you knew what good, decent human beings your visit and this video have brought our way. My brightest blessings continue for your journey and all those who are left to deal with this mess. You are missed, GREATLY .... and so much I still wanted to share with you, which can only happen now in the dreamtime. All my love and respects to this warrior's loved ones, still facing the reality of living on a "rez"

Nice video. I had to chuckle when I read the channel name. I subbed

Apparently the cans can erode or disintegrate depending in the pH that surrounds them. You can use stone instead.

This is epic

I hope you are planning a second show with him.

the concept of a 3 sided earth burmed house is great. but first of all rubber is an insulator NOT mass- and sand is also not a good conductor, sand and clay would be better- but concrete, stone and water containers are better. looks like the roof of the greenhouse is overglazed and probably overheats in the summer and definitly will leak- minimize roof glass. an operable skylight will allow good ventilation and some sunlight in. i recommend raising the south wall for the winter sun (using 6 ft. tall double pain vertical units- this will retain the guarantee of no condensation in the thermopain) and minimize summer sun. and any glass unit should have moveable window insulations system like curtains or shutters. i also recommend separating the greenhouse from the house with air/insect tight windows/doors and using a mass wall as a separator. the concept of a living roof is also crazy- leaking, extra weight/rafter size you don't need. just recycle the cans- they have no practical use in building. and never use exposed wood on the south side- it will crack/degrade quickly in the sunlight. at least use a metal covering of the wood on the outside. and never use an angled south face- vertical is better for the northern latitudes since the sun is lower. and more. bendsolarhomes.com

All the work mentioned in this video now continues while we discuss it on our free podcast here on youtube "Babble from the Bubble" and we're also starting the intimate journey via a video diary, starting at www.patreon.com/medicineways. Please feel free to support the ongoing work by becoming a patron of the MedicineWays Co-op community and by subscribing also to "Babble from the Bubble". Thank you everybody for the kind words

aluminium is 100% recycable and Sweden is really efficient with it. I think it's not the best choice to just use as a building material instead of returning it to the cycle. I'm with him with other materials but aluminium cans I disagree with. besides that really pretty home

Thank you for the info!

I could hear the video just fine. My brother is looking for land in S.W. Colorado. He plans on building an earth home.

People talking in the background are being rude

will you guys keep us updated on Kevin? do you have any more information on his workshop plans? TY

Very interesting building! It is a real work of art. Yes, I also wish the production could have been a bit better (sound and light). I could not really hear most of it. The First Nation guy must be very tall! Or else the ceiling is pretty low. (gorgeous also...hahah! Sorry, can't help but notice)

I would like to visit Kevin Shot and his project in Sweden with a group if civil engineering students. How can I get in touch?

Awesome vid... Your sound volume keeps changing. It might be a good idea to get a mic on your person as you are talking and interacting to keep the volume at a stable level.

The true GOD of the UNIVERSE HEARS YOU! LOVE.

Keep up the good content...subbed 😎

I really wish I could hear him talking over the ladies making noise in the back. they could take it outside for an hour of filming?

Every Earth ship video features a squeaky door. Why is that?

Michael Reynolds uses the model of the Viking homes and suddenly he's God.

I wish I could hear it

Love the video great content . I do wish the sound was louder. But the fighting colonialism with better ways of living and removing corporation s our basic needs is a great way for equality for humans and earth 🌎🌍

Love your earth ship, do you have floorplans available?

Hade ingen aning om att earthships fungerade i det Svenska klimatet. Man ser dem i öknen mest annars.

Where is Pine Ridge Reservation located ?

Good video 👍 just a little advise for the next one u need an intro

Are the blueprints available?

Aren't tires poisonous? Maybe not the best material to have in your living space..

Love ol AI full of Q&A come on over the NA all this is online casinos

Very annoying people are talking in the background and it is sad that there is not more light to see the inside of the earth ship properly :/

Is it reasonable to budget 15 minutes to fill & compact each tire until bulging? Thanks!

Earthship Biotecture

Disappointed Didn’t show the beautiful roof also didn’t talk about it in a 33 minutes video

I got a school work With 3 vid on this stuff

Ill come work with you guys on your reservation building earthships right now for free.

I found a way to build with cardboard boxes ..& water.. Look here and please contact me the way I’ve been to me in a box in this substance allows us to bury cardboard and boxes of water and use them as geothermal heat.. I will post the link above this

I can't ears nothing

The video is shot awfully though.

Where in sweden is this?

Good video but get a real mic!

Sad that those girls didn't have the common sense to shut up while you were filming.

Tell those rude women to shut up

Couldn’t get those people to shut the hell up while making a video? Super disrespectful.

jesus, could the swedes in the background shut-up ! can´t hear a thing!

Am I the only one that’s irritated by noisy women who walk back and forth during the video shooting? What is this man’s status in this house? I don’t imagine myself tolerating this disgusting behaviour if that was my house.
