Spring Skiing in Hancock, Colorado
Our friend Carla, Professional Human/Amateur Skier, came up for a weekend of spring skiing.
We got about 4" of fresh snow at the house, while Upper Hancock Lake got about 8". Plenty to have a lot of fun! We brought along the drone and GoPro to catch some shots.
Cheers,

Skijoring With Sled Dogs (Boardjoring)
zhlédnutí 404Před 3 lety
A fast paced dog walk in the neighborhood. We decided to take the dogs on a run down to the townsite. Instead of running them on the dog sled, we decided to each take a dog and try our hand at skijoring on snowboards! Find us in other parts of the internet too.

Snowmobiling With The Neighbors (DJI Drone)
zhlédnutí 68Před 3 lety
This is my first time taking the drone out on a snowmobile ride. We got about a foot of fresh snow overnight that hadn't been in the forecast. The neighbors hit us up on the radio to go for a morning ride before the spring break crowd made it up for the day. A Great morning of riding! Drone: DJI Mini 2

We are prepping for building or earthship this summer. With all the beetle kill trees we've got on the property, we've got plenty of work ahead of us.

We broke a rear Idler wheel in the middle of a blizzard on our 2004 mountain cat 900. After the storm we fixed it up right on the trail.
Tour Of The Hive At Earthship Biotecture
zhlédnutí 3,4KPřed 4 lety
My father and I took the earthship academy in November 2019. During the academy, we lived in the hive as part of their student housing program.
A group of e.s. builders near Crestone...Owner Builders Unite... channel may offer insight. On the other hand we have been living in while building on ours, S. Co. which I would never do again. Thou we love our unfinished home...😂...❤
house CAT!
cool building. thanks for the tour.
Ah been a couple years, would be great if you did an update. Walk thru with your experiences after building (struggles, lessons learned) and how living in it for the past two years has been. Again lessons learned and pros vs cons with possible I wish I knew this/that and I’d now change x,y,z if I did it again. Hope to see an update soon…if nothing else maybe just a quick walk thru. Thanks.
interesting building
house CAT!
Very cool!
This was so helpful! Bicycle tires! Who knew?
Nice ! but try cross country skis skijoring
Is sleeping next to your electricity screw with your sleep? Any health concerns?
I’m invested in this please update
This is a great off the grid option
How did it hold up under the weight of the snow?
I loved staying in the Nautilus!!
It looks like a cult compound.
Lol….my thought exactly. There is a lot of potential for the earthship, but these hack looking structures are not appealing to the masses. Will never gain majority following if they keep building leak prone building that have unprofessional finishes. Very interested in these designs, and will be in Taos in just a couple weeks to stay in an earthship for several days
doesn't reflective/low emissivity glass stop solar gain to your thermal mass and counteract the point of an earthship?
Hi Kevin, This is regular glass. The snow makes it look like it is really reflective in these shots, but it is not bad in person.
Thank you, for sharing. Doing research now to see where to get started. <3
What is your advice if the subsoil in the area has a large presence of the carcinogenic natural gas, Radon?
I was wondering what’s the backstory with this earth ship? What was the motivation for building it? And what is it is it a home or is it a resort thing for some kind of a foundation? Is it for some environmental charity? Do you plan to use it as a showpiece for more earth ships in Colorado?
Hi Eric, This is our private home. It is a harsh environment here and we decide that building an energy efficient home would be better than building a log cabin (which is the typical building style in our area). We do think that we have helped open the eyes of our local building department, so that others may have even more success with alternative building methods here in Central Colorado.
@@corruptionbackcountry4653 I thought Kettering rainwater was illegal in Colorado what’s the story with that?Water rights as well
@@EricEllingwood You can get a "Rainwater harvesting" well permit, just like applying for a regular well permit. It is our formal access to domestic water from a permitting perspective.
Sure wish that you had more build videos! What a wonderful place! We're gearing up in Northern Nevada!
We do too! Sadly, we were not focused on filming during the build because we had much else going on. Hopefully we can compile some of the pictures of the build into a video at some point.
I'm starting in July! Trying to decide b/w Simple Survival and Hive. This looks really appealing...thanks for posting!
Looks great!
Subscribed. I so want to do this, but with 3 kids I have to at least double it. How hard was it to get around building codes?
I wasn't that hard. They were unfamiliar with a lot of the ideas of construction, so it was just frequent checking in with them and getting them some info they requested. A normal house in our county takes 2-3 weeks to permit. Ours took about a month.
I wonder if they can make it better so we will see multi-storey earthship apartments.
You should make more snowmobiling videos before the snow melts
hey! we are building an encounter earthship in Vermont. how high are your ceilings?
Awesome! The front of the greenhouse is about 10' 6". It slopes back to about 7' in the bedroom. The living room/kitchen steps down an extra 8", and it makes it feel way bigger!
Doggies! That looks like a lot of fun!
Yeah for Colorado Earthships! Awesome!
Is is complete.
We are close. We are hoping to be done this summer!
Hi from Canada thanks for the tour how many square feet is your earth ship ?
Hi Tim, It's about 750sq ft.
@@corruptionbackcountry4653 perfect size thanks
My family and I are going to buy land and do the same in CO. Congratulations! Best of luck to you!
Thanks! Good luck to you too!
Wonderful job!! My husband and I are planning on building an earthship, and we wondered if you could give us some advice. Can you private message me please? 🙏
Hey! It doesn't look like you have any way to private message you listed on your channel. You can find us on IG at CorruptionColorado. That is a good way for us to get and send DMs.
Now that you took it out for a test drive. Is there anything you would do different in the design?
We would definitely do the cross supports of wood differently. In deep snow they end up plowing a little bit. It can drag so much that it will stop the dogs if the snow is deep enough. Maybe some kind of arched piece...
Just to let you know, I'm "stealing" your idea.
Awesome! What pulling harnesses do you use with your dogs for this? Howling Dog Alaska?
The dogs are using ManMat's "long distance harness". We like it because it takes pressure off of the our old dog's hips. They're retired sled dogs, so we don't run them far - the harnesses are nice to use on walks (with a bunjee extension for when they pull).
How I miss the Hive!! Lived there twice
Yeah? Good experience?
Hey guys I have the same sled but 159" what ski stance do you guys run in the front? last owner had mine at the narrowest setting and i find her rididiculously tippy to turn or on uneven ground. Think if i set her to widest setting on the skis it would help much? I dont think id have any trouble even on widest to get her up on edge just right now its too dam easy that its actually danegerous.
We have our skis set at the widest stock setting. I think that is 41". I would say it is still a very tippy machine. We run our ski suspension pretty soft, so that makes it a little tippy too. When there is fresh snow it is perfect, but definitely a bit rowdy on the packed stuff.
@@corruptionbackcountry4653 Thanks for the reply! I ran them on the widest setting too this winter. I Like her somewhat tippy but for me narrowest was a bit too much even in powder i found her to be very unpredictable in all snow conditions. Even on widest tho it worked soo good for me even side hilling the machine was still easy. Very impressed with the sled it was my first year with her no problems at all this season. Can't wait for next year to get her out at it again :)
Thank you!
Thank you!
Kick sledding is addictive! Great job on your sled btw.
Great video! Inspirational for a project of my own
That's awesome - one improvement on our sled for powder runs is a lightweight base from the ski tips to under the handle bars. This is a good example: www.instructables.com/Homemade-Dogsled/
That’s awesome definitely going to build one
Nice. Learned a lot about stomp pads, etc. You look like y'all are having a lot of fun!
i know Im randomly asking but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost my account password. I would love any assistance you can offer me
@Arturo Alfredo Instablaster =)
@Khalid Skylar Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Khalid Skylar it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thank you so much you really help me out!
@Arturo Alfredo Happy to help :D
That kitten stole my heart
LOVE IT!! I felt like I was back on a sled! Good boys!!
How much is the square feet of it?
Sled looks awesome! Can't wait to see more videos of it in action!
Miss you, Syd!
