20 degrees outside of my earthship today. 70 degrees inside and it was built in 1996. No heat on. I thank Mike every time I come in this place of refuge.
Mr. Reynolds ... You Sir are a Visionary with a capital "V". Great to see you looking so well. That EarthShip is obviously caring for you as you have cared for it. Thank You for ALL that you do for HUMANITY. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.
The 15-minute city agenda bureaucrats, the bought and paid for functionaries of the globalist agenda, will bind ANY freedom based movement in red tape and extended approvals, while corporate smart meters for all utilities get the rubber stamps. Watch.
So glad to see your still going Mike ! Youve been such an inspiration for me thank for your decades of hard work and dedication!!! Your awesome man !!!
Mr. Reynolds, thank you for your dedication to the idea and your students. I have just returned from staying in your Encounter before New Year. It is indeed, the living method that is comfortable and harmonic. Please continue your quest and be there for the Earth.
I am so proud of the Creator of Earthships. Desperation is right around the corner & so hard to look at. Desperation might fall from unexpected places with unexpected Faces. We are actually in the unknown frontier when we use the Internet, it is an actual War ,too. Not what we expected. Transmission viewed in Albuquerque NE ,NM Home Of Gathering of Nations 10.25p 13.1.24
This is why I’ve always loved this idea. I actually was coming up with this idea when I found you 20 some odd years ago and I was like dang somebody already came up with the idea so I just want to be able to spread it as well what a beautiful thing thank you so much
Well I was thinking about you and many things I have learned from you over the decades, and yet the last video that finished about 5 minutes ago was Earthships and cancer ep#5! SO here you are, happy plant based diet life Michael Reynolds! Yo u are a rock star....Sending love from Mexico
The battle will be with City, County and State Regulations. They all want us hooked up to the grid and 15 minute Cities. Your way of life is brilliant.
If someone wants to live in a more urban environment, isn't a 15 minute, walkable city the most ideal way to go about that? It's fine if you don't want to live in a city, but the random dig against 15 minute cities instead of the more problematic sprawl (ie. Phoenix) is an interesting choice.
@@honoriswithin I genuinely don't understand what that has to do with walkable cities amd not beling reliant on cars for everything. Could you elaborate?
He is certainly a visionary but do some research. Why is it so expensive to attend the academy? Why do you have to pay for an "internship"? The resources he provides on his website, doesn't really align with the vision he's saying. If he truly believed everyone deserved the same access to affordable housing, why do you have to pay thousands of dollars for his building plans? and don't get me wrong, I think the earthship concept is amazing, I just wonder about where all the money goes.
@@erinhoopy1372 Yeah, I guess so. Maybe charging is a way of screening people out. Like on Craigslist, they advise that you charge money to rehome pets to deter the crazies. But you're right further research is in order. I only saw a documentary and was more interested in the concept more than anything.
I couldn't agree more. The first thing I thought of when I saw the LA fires, would be the effectiveness of protecting earthship dwellings vs standard wood framed houses and how certain communities with increased fire risk desperately need to come to grip with the new norm and devise different development.
Im a old school carpenter and studied natural building systems for over 10 years. Your earthship is best by far just alone due to self sustainability. I wanted to take your class for over 10 years now but due to being to poor i can never take it. Every year my situation gets worse, so im just going to buy bad land in the middle of nowhere Texas and just build one on my own and figure it out 😅self learn style. Thanks for the inspiration
Good to see you; I hope you are feeling well. I agree that the world needs to know about the Earthship and your vision. I love your Model T/Ford vision. The biggest hurdle there is developing that assembly line speed. All the building videos show the labor involved, and while you have made Earthships incredibly affordable, there seems no way to make them quickly compared to sticks and bricks. I’m only half kidding when I wonder, is there a way to make a modular Earthship that could be delivered like a Modular Home. Although, I lack the imagination to envision a tire-pounding factory where tire walls are built be set on concrete slabs and be bermmed up, then you cap it, cob it, and power it up. I shouldn’t comment after I take my evening tea. I feel I may have spoken on an empty head. 😆 You are looking spry Mike! I hope all is well.
I'm happy to hear you are on oneness. i was excited about the earthship ideal at first but then found out what one actually cost. affordable housing solutions are in dire need.
Thank you very much, "Father of Earthships." You are LEGEND!!!! For ALL of the hell you went thru to break idiotic normalcy in home construction. Our home not an Earthship but has many components of an Earthship incorporated thanks to you!
Will the VA consider an Earthship as a new build so I can qualify for a loan? I 100% support what you are doing, now I have to figure out how to pay for a Earthship.
My mom corresponded with you decades ago, she was obsessed with the problem of bringing earthship technologies to urban neighborhoods. She passed away last year, but I think she'd be hopeful with the strides alternative housing has made 💜
You rock, Mike. When my daughter and I spent a night at one of your places, it definitely made it a dream for us to work towards here in Maine! Take care .
I'm so happy to see you're still building the coolest homes on the planet. I hope I can afford to build an Earthship someday. It's good to see that you're still going Mike.
Hi Mike I attended to your Earthship Conference in Berlin 2013/4?, met you briefly afterwards and gave you my booklet "A Garden City of Today" that was a 15-minute walkable ecological city design - before all the others 15 minute cities came along... I propose/d a whole city of Earthships! Venice Italy started as a "refugee" camp and became one of the most magnificent cities in the world. My only question is where do you want it built? - where would you like to place the magnet?
Yes, the earth ships! Amazing project I got to know many years ago… never visited but I’m an enthusiast 👏👏 so good to hear you 20something years later 🙏💕
I bless you 🙏🏼 Thank you for all that you do. I share your dream of self-sustainable housing for all and I'm glad you have the knowledge, wisdom and willingness to keep this movement going.
@ We are first of three in Col. I am aware of. Jim Gaglioni on u.t. has his journey recorded there. Tire recycling is done in some states, bundled to I ton ea. They were $5 a bale when we started transport was the expense. The architect that drew ours up has passed. Thanks for asking!
Michael Reynolds! It's so good to see a video from you! I hope you are doing well! I've been wanting to come see you and take that course for over a decade. Hopefully I'll get the chance sooner than later🤞 You're awesome!
Hey Mike, I have been intensely following your journey for 30 plus years now. It took me a long time to figure out why your Earthship design and philosophy has not been taken up by a landslide of acceptance on a global scale. I have watched a large number of your videos, and never have I heard you speak of the real reason I believe is the reason behind resistance to global acceptance. Self-sufficiency is at odds with consumerism and consumerism is where profits are made, and those hell bent on profits will do anything and everything in their power to stop you. For 20 plus years I have lived on a rural land share community in Far Northern NSW Australia (the alternate capital of Aus'), and we are all off the grid. This of course means we don't support big power companies, we grow and share food, collect our own rainwater in tanks and dams, and have natural freshwater springs for water as well. All our waste is managed onsite. This OTG movement is what I like to refer to as a means to starve the beast and take back our power and responsibility for our own existence. An underground movement if you like. Popularity for the green movement has been taken up by big corporations by building huge power generation systems like solar farms, wind turbines and the like, because they want to make profits, simple deduction. Your group did some great work for storm ravaged people in Southeast Asia some 10yrs ago, I plan to follow up that work you did in the Philippines around the middle of February 2025. I would dearly like to connect with you to discuss how we can further your work there and anywhere else to educate and inform the people in need, while there is still time to stop this out-of-control juggernaut that is creating waste out of valuable resources. I believe with your knowledge and philosophy, the knowledge and philosophy of Permaculture and the work of Jaque Fresco (RIP), Roxsan Meadows, The Venus Project. The combination of those movement would be a powerful force for good.
@@Mhm5213 My opinion of the Venus Project (after 14 years academic research and design) is that the building designs are beautiful, the many other designs such as vehicles and gardens and so forth too, and I admire Jacque Fresco's immense creativity and his ethos for the Venus Project, my only concern is with the urban planning which in my opinion is overly idealistic and naive and probably results from the era in which it was conceived being 1950-60s-70s. It doesn't take into account patterns and processes found throughout nature and therefor in terms of the urban form, it would not be ecologically compatible at the landscape/catchment scale let alone be ecologically regenerative
@ there’s been debate within the Venus Project culture of volunteers. If the Venus project has become more of a philosopher’s club then it is of a systems design of a city systems. After studying of the transcriptions of the lectures that Jacque gave over the course of 70 years, I found that it is a bit of both. it’s about designing society with the tools of the scientific method for the output of the greatest well-being as the bottom line for both human and non-human life forms here on this planet. I believe that a lot of the designs Jacque crafted were to be like a showcase to invite people in to consider what Socio-cyber engineering provides and how it is achieved. There are no final frontiers or utopia, but the process of civilization, and a lot of the designs of Jacque may become the stray jackets for the children of the future.
You have created such an awesome blueprint for sustainable living! I am planning to build one on my 22 acres. Just want to do the school first so I get it right. Thanks so much for all you have done for this planet, selflessly 💚🙏 your an amazing guy my Mr. Mike Reynolds 👍☺️
I've had an idea for long time of incorporating authentic ways of building an earthship into the dynamic structure of a sandbox video game. Real methods and detailed steps, enough to teach the essential construction of it. Unreal engine 5 has tools that make it very possible for a small team of creators. Just a thought.
"It softens life on this planet" good way to put it. I'm sure many would agree that with the current systems and standards that dominate right now, life can be quite ruff and worrisome. Especially if a simple life is what you aspire to. I think I also understand your perspective that, as a side effect of humanity embracing the concept and use of earthships to address housing needs, it could end up having a balancing effect on the overall well being of society and the quality of life experience in general. Would certainly reduce the pressure many of us feel about our future. Thanks for the update and insightful words 🩵
We all know that the biggest problem with Earthships is how labor intensive they are. And even though we're at a time where people are much more open to sustainable living, we're also at a time where too many people just don't want to work. We have a serious laziness problem in America. And THIS is where most of the expense with Earthships comes from, the labor cost. It's a dream of mine to live in an Earthship, but the cost, and almost as importantly, the time to build even a 1000sqft Earthship is astronomical. I hope that one day we can get to a point where building an Earthship is more practical than building a regular "sticks and bricks", but we are not there yet. Keep fighting the good fight Michael!
I agree with this. But one big thing I do not understand is the earthship internships.. why do I have to pay $300 to provide physical labor? You would think they would provide housing, transportation and food, at least, for me to lift and pack tons of tires with dirt (or whatever stage of build it is)... the internships just seem like complete bullshit. That's not that I don't want to work, it's that I can't afford to work (in this very specific example).
It's just plain common sense, Mike. It's getting the people plugged into the system of conformity at all cost, that needs to happen for us (humans) to progress and live a lot more harmoniously within our environment. Thank you for your tireless work in making housing and energy work for everyone.
Mr Reynolds, can you please go to north carolina and have a youtube video for them......they know not.......they have ALL the resources they need to REBUILD !!!! Brilliant, you are briilliant !!! Graceville, FL I have family living in asheville, nc and he is your age, he would dig you, and his son has a pod cast, may I ask him to reach out to you, for your time ? I want to share your vision thru others I love.
What's the worst that could happen to people who build an EarthShip without proper permission? What if you took all the necessary precautions noting building code as well as officially signed off inspections throughout the project. Could a guy just ask for forgiveness if Nosey Ned shows up asking for a building permit & just show your proper safety inspection papers?
Thank you. I've experienced earthship living and I'm now on the east coast in a rural setting. Although I am able to live in a motified earthship, the regulations are a real mess. It's hard to work with county counsels that are stuck in tradition of the 1800's.
yes. ive followed since a kid. profess these topics. what if. no, need to do. rebuild sustainably. i need hip so cant do dream of homestead at 70, it can be done. so let us build right and fix old homes.
unfortunately Earth ship don't address the major problem, that pretty much all of the main infrastructure we rely on, banking, healthcare, and law, are all operating on predatory mandates, at least where the individual is concerned. Corporations are Golems we created, lifeless entities with personhood that have turned into these monolithic creatures that threaten to smash us all when they come crumbling down. Anyone trying to just have a decent quality of life doesn't realize they entered into the David and Goliath story as David, but at least David had a slingshot and was confident in using it. For most of us, we haven't figured out how to make the slingshot....
As to the self growing homes and such as comes with it, I am in support of it. More investing up needs done to increase the availability of the technology and products that support life.
which way is more effective sir: Tire bales being stacked or Tires being pounded? Also, I have not been able to find plans for a two-story or multi-story earthship. Can you direct me to these materials please. Thank you.
the fact that the gov isnt helping him spread his info and his homes all of planet really irks me. on the bright side, hes a genius, ive never seen a better idea
This words made me feel inside a sci-fi movie with a happy ending... let's do it! Let us know how to help or learn this new prototype, thanks for your inspiration, Earth will fix Humans, love it!❤
I would love to have an earthship academy here on this property in Oklahoma near the Illinois River ranch Northeast area. This mountain needs those type of buildings they are many people out here that don't have electricity or water they have to go to the spring.
I live in a mostly off grid community that is in need of your technology. Hopefully some folks can aquire one of your refuge designs and be able to build it without being hassled by the inspectors.
20 degrees outside of my earthship today. 70 degrees inside and it was built in 1996. No heat on. I thank Mike every time I come in this place of refuge.
The path to sustainable living for everyone is a beautiful vision.❤

Also agreeing from Ontario, Canada 🙌❤
Thank you for all the valuable knowledge you've shared with us over 55 years. From Kenya
We are a family under one sky. We must share sustainable knowledge freely. 🕊🌍🕊🌎🕊🌏🕊
Do you have any to share?
Let's rebuild LA as a large scale Earthship community
This !!
The 15-minute city agenda bureaucrats, the bought and paid for functionaries of the globalist agenda, will bind ANY freedom based movement in red tape and extended approvals, while corporate smart meters for all utilities get the rubber stamps. Watch.
Start with 30 years of reforming the regulation.
Yeah. It's time to start rebuilding in a sustainable way. We have to adapt to this new reality and most of the shift needs to happen inside people
What "they" want in LA is a smart city for 2028...
So glad to see your still going Mike ! Youve been such an inspiration for me thank for your decades of hard work and dedication!!! Your awesome man !!!
Such a wonderful vision to move forward with. ❤
Nice to see that you're still alive and kicking Michael!

You and Earthships ROCK!!!!
Oh i see the Light! Thanks for this 🙏
There is so much truth in what you said.
let's do this!!!!!
It's just plain common sense, Mike. It's getting the people plugged into the system of conformity at all cost, that needs to happen for us (humans) to progress and live a lot more harmoniously within our environment. Thank you for your tireless work in making housing and energy work for everyone.
❤your information is very important at this time when so much chaos is showing all over, the earhship homes is what we need globally ❤ blessings
I agree ,great video !!!
I agree with you Pop,Pop.You have to get rid of the War Machine and Hate first.❤
Thank you for being a good soul. It IS a practice. Thank you for adding to the possibility of optimism.
Hello fellow Earthlings. Peace, when possible.

Graceville, FL I have family living in asheville, nc and he is your age, he would dig you, and his son has a pod cast, may I ask him to reach out to you, for your time ? I want to share your vision thru others I love.
Send a team to CA to teach them about rebuilding!! Crowdfund it I'll donate.
Aloha! Mr. Reynolds could you please ad to discription some information about workshops in central Europe if ther are any? Bless You all!
What's the worst that could happen to people who build an EarthShip without proper permission? What if you took all the necessary precautions noting building code as well as officially signed off inspections throughout the project. Could a guy just ask for forgiveness if Nosey Ned shows up asking for a building permit & just show your proper safety inspection papers?
Thank you. I've experienced earthship living and I'm now on the east coast in a rural setting. Although I am able to live in a motified earthship, the regulations are a real mess. It's hard to work with county counsels that are stuck in tradition of the 1800's.
group world hug...
lets do this!
Greetings from South Georgia
We are In chaos because we can't follow our intuition and instincts to follow our hearts and find out where our home is
Hi Mike!
Hope you are doing well. 🎉
I love the Earthships, I want to build one for my self.
Leolite spoke loud and true about this. It will be done right the next time 🤠 ♌
Sign me up. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
yes. ive followed since a kid. profess these topics. what if. no, need to do. rebuild sustainably. i need hip so cant do dream of homestead at 70, it can be done. so let us build right and fix old homes.
unfortunately Earth ship don't address the major problem, that pretty much all of the main infrastructure we rely on, banking, healthcare, and law, are all operating on predatory mandates, at least where the individual is concerned. Corporations are Golems we created, lifeless entities with personhood that have turned into these monolithic creatures that threaten to smash us all when they come crumbling down. Anyone trying to just have a decent quality of life doesn't realize they entered into the David and Goliath story as David, but at least David had a slingshot and was confident in using it. For most of us, we haven't figured out how to make the slingshot....
As to the self growing homes and such as comes with it, I am in support of it. More investing up needs done to increase the availability of the technology and products that support life.
Just found you. THANK YOU. I just subscribed. Very interested in what you're saying. Thank you!
which way is more effective sir: Tire bales being stacked or Tires being pounded?
Also, I have not been able to find plans for a two-story or multi-story earthship. Can you direct me to these materials please. Thank you.
It's all there on the Earthship website
❤❤❤
the fact that the gov isnt helping him spread his info and his homes all of planet really irks me. on the bright side, hes a genius, ive never seen a better idea
This words made me feel inside a sci-fi movie with a happy ending... let's do it! Let us know how to help or learn this new prototype, thanks for your inspiration, Earth will fix Humans, love it!❤
I would love to have an earthship academy here on this property in Oklahoma near the Illinois River ranch Northeast area. This mountain needs those type of buildings they are many people out here that don't have electricity or water they have to go to the spring.
Start one
I live in a mostly off grid community that is in need of your technology. Hopefully some folks can aquire one of your refuge designs and be able to build it without being hassled by the inspectors.
SUPER!
