Your Hand Maps the Land 

Andrew you really do an amazing job in educating us all. Your drawings give us a sense of the beauty that a permaculture design can bring to a landscape. Thanks so much!!

I go to a relatively well respected university (especially for environmental science) and I have not yet found a professor who can teach foundational earth science as succinctly as you. Bravo mate

Dude. We need more people like you. If something bad happens to the planet people like you will have the knowledge to rebuild this. This is nuts. You literally know the essentials of inhabiting the land.

never heard a better, simpler and more impressive explanation of the basics of permaculture. Amazing video.

God bless you Andrew. You are an amazing teacher. I am greatly thankful to you for providing this information to us for free.

This is probably the best, easiest, strait to the point presentation on water management I ever heard. Andy, you are doing really excellent job. Thank you very much on sharing your knowledge with us! 🙂

I dare say... we love you Andrew ! Amazingly clear and easy to assimilate -one notices the love! Thanks for your contribution to the regeneration of Earth

Amazing job with the hand metaphor man! Really allows you to grasp it. 😅😊

That was an incredible summary of water management but also Permaculture, packed into only a few minutes! Love it.

Is it possible to add English subtitles to your videos? I started living in the Mediterranean region in one of the gardens that my city people destroyed with their own hands. I learned that my practices belong to permaculture. Of course, positive change was noticed in a short time. I tell them what I have learned, but they do not understand. simple and inexpensive techniques. all other vegetable gardens withered. The new tomatoes in my vegetable garden in November are lush. I had buried wood deep in the field. mushrooms appeared in the sandy soil. subsoil mycorrhiza filled up. I just decided in June. I started practicing in July. My 50 m2 trial garden is in very good condition and growing. 1450 m2 arrangement will be made. Then I want to arrange a 16-acre land. I'm showing them you. They say they don't know english. If there are English subtitles, they can read and understand with automatic translation. maybe we can start learning together. You dig a small hole in the sand-filled land, fill it with wood, branches, dry and green plants and cover it, and that area turns green. Birds, lizards, butterflies, hedgehogs and many animals come to the garden. I loved this job. very good. Thank you so much.

I work in Outdoor Eduction and we use the same technique with different terminology to teach navigation and map reading. We use Knolls as nuckles, fingers as spurs and spaces between as gulleys.

I like the idea of the knuckle area of the hand as way to perceive the land and water flow, and now, I look on the inside of my open palm 🙂. Thank you for making such informative, educational, and inspiring, videos! 🙏🏻

An extremely elegant explanation of the concept of water flow. Well done!

Excellent another best video. Lot to learn about watershed. You are second to none

What an impressive rendition!! Simply superb Andrew

Another great video mate. I wouldn’t be surprised if I see that hand drawing tattooed on someone in the future 😅

Best teacher, best video. Art and science and Permaculture 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤

Absolutely love these videos! Only one i’ve bothered clicking the bell! And i get so excited everytime you post Andrew!

This may have been the coolest thing I've seen in years. well done!

Truly, this is The Good Ending. Listening to presentations like this fills me with a deep sense of belonging, connection and hope about the world around us. Policies derived from these ideas really need implementing across the temperate world, with other climates of course getting treatment more suitable for their situation

Thank you so much for always sharing your knowledge in all your well explained videos.

Excellente explication ! Merci merci beaucoup !

That was amazing. You have an insane talent for iconography. Lots of meaning in your pictures.

I used this in the Army! Will have to share this with some of my friends still in.

You provide such great content, thank you for sharing your experience.

Wow! This is brilliant way to understand the design of the land.

Love to see good clear educational content thank you very much

Awesome job! Inspiring, practical and encouraging! Thank you very much!

Beautiful work!

Incredible drawings and videos. I love your channel.

Brilliant explanation! That helped me, thank you!!

This was very enlightening and a great explanation!

This reminded me to review a PKS video about Viktor Schauberger, inventor, naturalist, Austrian forester and his work using vortices in rivers to focus the energy to pull water away from the bank reducing flooding, using this vortex in a flume to float logs, and how changes in water temperature effect its absorption rate into the earth and other characteristics. Thank you for teaching!

I found my new favourite content creator

This was a very well done production

thanks for your efforts! So much understanding within the human frame (temple) that is a foundation for greater yet simple concepts of understanding this material reality.

Your videos and approach with visualizing is awesome, i love it

I'm taking a 6 month course to become a "Water Restoration Practitioner" from "Water Stories". I will be learning these principles and will be able to help people learn these practices. I'm also hoping to work with the Forestry Service, BLM and other agencies to use these principals that you are teaching. You have gotten me off to a good start with your teachings and mostly the way you teach..

I Love this Andrew. Awesome teaching tool right here!

Wow, amazing video!

Cool video! Thank you for making it! :)

This was so helpful! Thank you.

This is great! I love it!

Well explained. 👍

Obrigado por esse video tão lindo! Saudações do Brasil!

Brilliant. Thank you.

Beeeautiful video, instantly got me subscribing as soon as I heard ''fractal''. I knew then and there you are of my tribe. Then you started drawing and talkin' the good stuff, and now I know you're my brother.

You are awesome, thank you for teaching me

Thank you for your videos

Thank you for this awesome & simple illustration of a very complex & inter-related ecological principle. Understanding these ecological systems, processes, services & goods is critical if we are to restore the Earth and live in harmony with it in the future. Humankind has done so much damage it's often difficult to know where to start.

I'll say it again, the best visuals!

This is beautiful

That was Beautiful

Fascinating sir

Amazing, Cajiib.

do terrace farms follow this sort of pattern? they look kinda like the farming areas at the end of the video

Dear Andrew, why did you placed the ponds on the lower part of the slope at the top of the primary ridge, insteat of using the keypoint for maximizing water storage?

Fascinating - does this mean housing on contour? Brilliant to watch.

Your hand in the thumbnail is the watershed. Was expecting you to show keylining to the ridges to encourage rehydration of ridges with your other knuckle. Please tell us about the water flow exceptions.

When I first saw the thumbnail, I thought this was a really dumb and simplistic way to describe topography, but watching the video you did a great job of explaining the whole concept, and when you showed the clip of the green rolling hills, I could see them as fingers and knuckles. Good job!

Brilliant!

Excellent.

Excellent content I think of nazca lines and the occult anatomical perspectives of scientized mythology

In otherwords I have been checking out scenery all wrong. All I need to do is stare at the ridge of my hand. You just saved me a lot of gas money in traveling!! You should totally get that drawing tattooed on your hand and then tell this information anytime someone asks "hey what's that that mean?!"

How would you do the hydrology for burgage lots? (Can't post a link, but they're easy to find on the web.) Or rather, how's would you arrange the streets on which the houses sit?

Dude, permaculture artist!!

Hola, quisiera tener mas informacion de los cursos

Thanks!

“I don’t like being told how to do things!” Me deliberately flooding shit in City Skylines.

liveing in japan, this is very helpful

Bravo!

This is awesome! I wonder if permaculture also designs for wildlife including large mamos and predators.

Fuck Andrew, in just trying to figure out my own water flow. I love what you are showing me.

I clicked thinking this was a palm reading tutorial for Gaia or something. Haha. Well, I needed this, I just planted an aloe vera garden.

Great yeaaah, holding the water as long as poasible and creating microclimates, water sponges, talow water down 🌱🙌🙏💪💚 work with natures abundance

And you can explain topographical maps by drawing circles around your knuckles and one figure eight shape around them representing peaks

😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏 thank you

ok. not bad, worth watching. thx

Warms my heart to know that you had to roll around in public til that ink wore off, just for my sake

This is literally how my town is built wow

❤ 👏

Neato

hey can PBS sponsor you already

take a shot every time he says ridge lol

You get the handscape.

Love your videos!!! I hope that wasn't permanent marker! 😄

Now I have a way to show people where features are on distant ridges, I can use my knuckles 🤯👍

No music please

We done

So basically when we fall we get punched by the ground

ridge-ception. 😁

The paradox of white gold.

Andrew no those markers aren't FDA approved oh no

EEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCC‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Failed to mention half the words used in this analogy. No saddles and the like.

TY, algo ... for bringing me here, and not to some clown show of political b.s. Subbed immediately since it ought be clear to all transentient hermetics, that Andrew is of upmost credibility.

Imagine moving past capitalism and actually doing stuff like this instead of destroying the planet more and more each day

🤣 *writes on hand*

bro what
