Title: Kevin McCloud's Shed in the Woods ..ABC
Post by Emma Peel on Feb 25th, 2013 at 2:42am
This has been absolutely fascinating...   and  very timely... 

just look at the projects he has completed in this...  with a lot of help from like-minded individuals.. 

Amazing methane-producing ordure,...!!!   ;D
What an absolutely amazing  effort... to show what can be done,,,


and the WASTE we produce....gross isn't it..??..  the sheer obscenity of the amount of resources we waste, unthinkingly, uncaringly...  I mean....   

very thought provoking.

I wonder if I could re-engineer my septic tank into an energy-producing + ??

I'm sure most of us have had some awareness of  sustainability..  but

this program  ..  I believe it... 


This should be a guide...
(for once the cities have imploded ... and the systems failed...  ???)   No no 

This should be a guide,  a pointer >>>>  to re-learning pre- industrial , pre-corp , necessary skills and attitudes.

Primary among them??

Finding the people who KNOW and getting them involved.... ie  creating  community....



FOR NOW.... 

'Cos DOODS   :D :D :D
One day soon your smart-phones going to die.....  :P

so you didn't see him shoot a deer,  skin and gut it,  and tan it's hide, and make it part of a comfy chair?? 

You didn't see this?  Try it... it has some truly intersting ideas...

C'mon Emma, there was nothing new to you in the show was there? It was a bit of a larf I enjoyed it but I think his excursion to the slums of Delhi was more thought provoking.

ll I thought the lesson on tanning deer hide in the brains of the animal that used to wear it,  was fascinating...  never heard of that one before.  :)

I never thought I'd say this, but I think I'd actually prefer to use a vat of collected stale urine :D

hee heh

yeah this show kind of sticks with me. ;D

also impressed by his foray to a lion park,  to obtain buckets and buckets of lion poo  .. after realising that collecting dog poo from local dog parks wasn't going to provide enough shti   ;D

and loved the jet casing hot tub..!!.

-  he shows exemplary and positive staunchness and determination...
..almost above and beyond  ...  almost.

of course... if I had his connections,  I'd make some changes here too.!!!
