Electricity Out Is Campout Time!


Hello Red Elk
It was my pleasure to send you the donation, my only regret is that I could not currently afford to add an extra zero to the end of it!

There was a “sender”. A dollar…sometimes 2. “The WIDOW’S MITE”. Worth more to US (Him / Me) then HUNDREDS! THANK YOU AGAIN. re
Hello Red Elk
I am really grateful that I found your blog, and consider it a true blessing. I am really impressed with you mentioning the hobbit house in Wales, Simon dale and his family who created that has has now moved to an eco-village in Wales called Lammas. There new place is similar to their hobbit house, just on a larger scale. I am hoping to make something cheap and affordable when we move to an Eco-village in Portugal, but we are planning to build a partially sub-merged earth bag (super adobe) dome, similar to what they build at cal earth.
May I ask you advise on whether it is ok to communicate with Father/God using such tools as I ching, Tarot etc? I think that I have actually heard God’s voice about 13 years ago, sitting on a chair drifting off to sleep when I heard a loud male voice call my name, more of a shout really, but it was enough for me to jump out of my chair and run to the stairs expecting to see my dad waiting for me, but there was no one in the house! I have always wondered if that was indeed the big man upstairs so to speak.
Blessings on your work, and I look forward to the book and further updates on the domes. Talking about domes, how did you install the fires, and what did you do for a chimney?
Blessings
P.S. You are totally correct about the law of three, people don’t need more than three chances, in my experience, if you give people more than 3 chances then you are setting yourself up for a lot of pain!
Brother, BEST TO YOU ON YOUR BUILDING! Knew the Wales family were considering another spot. Would like to keep up on their efforts…any idea of how to find out more?
I know nothing on I Ching…BUT ABSOLUTELY do NOTHING with TAROT! NOT at ALL OF “DAD”!
Your ONLY “Safe” way is via the Bible. NO RELIGION…and NOT as Messed With by man as it is. That’s why I tell : USE A CONCORDANCE when reading. So MUCH “man” add-ons and Changing over the centuries…it, well….WHAT A MESS! Still, with a CONCORDANCE, that “mess(ing)” can be TOTALLY OBLIVIATED. Then, and ONLY then, will you find HIS PRECISE “Tellings”. This what we 12 call PURE(ity). Aho?
I’d advise NO “shortcuts”. Up to you tho…your “path”. Aho?
WAS it “Dad” calling? Doubtful. IF IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES…an EXCELLENT chance it WAS / IS! 3 TIMES! aho?
There are scriptures concerning just this!

Hello Red Elk
I have just purchased the Strongs Concordance book, I am very very serious about learning. I have also been reading the other book you suggested about the Masters in the far east. You said on your website about talking to God, and that you should just ask and then shut up. What I am really confused over is how does God communicate with us? Is it verbal, via dreams or syncronistic events??
I have tried to find the answer in the bible, but I seem to be really really lost!
Do you still have those lessons that you were selling on your website a few years ago, I would be very interested in purchasing as much true information that will enable to learn the truth.
Thank you my friend.

Thanks for reminding me about ‘home work’, I am sitting here with my strongs concordance, didn’t realise just how big it would be! I will be sending you another donation for all the help you have given me. I really appreciate it!
Do you think that humans are capable of becoming immortal, if we follow God’s law to the letter? I was reading about the 10 commandments, I have never heard you talk about them, should we follow them? I follow a lot of them naturally, but some seem harder than ever to stick to in this modern age.
I am sorry to hear about your dog, at least he is happy in doggy heaven! That has actually made me feel better, as we may have to put our dog to sleep, and the guilt over this may just about kills us all.
Thank you
God Bless!
The FULL Concordance IS Huge! NOT so the TINY “Part” one some bibles contain. NOT at ALL COMPLETE. Now you have the WHOLE ONE! GOOD!
Yes on immortal. BIBLE TELLS HOW.
10 Commandments:Â “IF ANY DOES but ONE of these…THEY have Done ALL!”
ONLY CHRIST can set ANY free from ALL these 10 LAWS. Do you SEE what He’s DONE FOR US!???
WHEN you GROW In HIM…only ONE “LAW” REMAINS :Â LOVE!
Miss all our pets…but KNOW THEY ALL ARE OK. We’ll see each other again…and OFTEN.         GB  re
So if you have broken one of the commandments, you should ask God for forgiveness?
I am confused when you say that only in Christ can you be set free from? We all should aspire to become a christ, but do we only become a Christ when we love God with all our heart and follow the ten commandments?
Serious head scratching here…
BOY do YOU NEED Learning! ( :
YES…even if ANGRY (but don’t express it). Remember…THOUGHTS are REAL!
Men see a “hot sweet thing” and imagine being in bed with them. OH OH!  THOUGHTS ARE REAL!
Yes: GET RIGHT as FAST AS POSSIBLE!
No one can  BE  CHRIST ! EVER!!! We can, WITH HIS SUPPORT, be AS Him tho. ChristLIKE.  Aho?
KNOW what ARE the 10 Commandments. WHAT BIG BROTHER HAS SET YOU F R E E FROM. To one IN CHRIST, and VIA HIS SACRIFICE, you IMPROVE and ARE “AWAY” FROM THOSE 10 “LAWS”.
Better to understand what His death did…and what the Father did, by BRINGING HIM BACK TO LIFE. Aho?   re

As readers all know…I’m “into” VERY Low-Cost SALVAGED-TO-BUILD domes.  I’ve learned alot. Also that most “couldn’t” live in things so small. In days ahead MANY will LEARN tho!
Mine are 10 cents to $350.00…(last quite “fancy”…thus the higher cost).
Sky’s FAR bigger and I expect it to go about $200.00…”FANCY”!
For any contemplating similar…AND HAVE MONEY…there are FASTER and STRONGER, EASY Ones that can be built. Still very cheap.
I hope to put out a book on these (in time).
One thing I’d do differently (given the $$) would be to FIRST “fit out” the FURNITURE placement….THEN the Size needed to contain these.
Still wont be a Square Box “mansion”, but EXTREMELY AFFORDABLE.  Say about $5,000.00.
If you go to “Search” and type in HOBBIT HUT IN WALES you will find EXACTLY what I’m talking about. 4 months and under $10,000.00 MOVE IN READY. Self-Built. CHECK IT OUT!  Mine are on that “line”. Our one on other property about This size…and quite similar (we hope). 34 ft inside diameter by 18 ft tall. Adding an extension to it as well. That area as Kitchen / Toilet / Storage. Built for our family of 6. Only expect 3 tho.
Anyway, adding this to this post…in case any would like to get into “housing” without an “arm and a leg”. THAT’S EXACTLY WHY I’M BUILDING THESE. An EXAMPLE to give HOPE to the Homeless and families “doubling up” at relatives’ homes. I’d like to see a “movement” of Like-Minded. HELPERS HELPING OTHERS! Aho?  re

My visiting friend saw the domes. VERY IMPRESSED. Adam’s dome’s SIMPLICITY the MOST!   “ALL anyone NEEDS. ALL! And so SIMPLE! I can see 2 – 3 together…tunneled one to another. The old Eskimo Igloo way. This is NICE!” Blew him away to see #1…then Sky’s! THIS is FANTASTIC!” But Adam’s ease of making has his most attention.  ( :  re
(WS)
I’m always thinking. Now trying to figure out: can dry WEEDS replace alot of WOOD to heat?
The domes I’m making each have fire “places”. To get started I simply “rack up” (by hand) handful(s) of the dead weeds just outside their doorways. Cleaning the area at the same time. The Hundreds of dry Willow “stems” I break into pencil-size pieces. Start the fires by 1st putting in a piled handful of dry weeds…”TiPi” the dry willows over this…light the weeds…and the fire is “on its way”. Adding bigger wood as it goes.
When fire gets low…I simply add more weed “fodder”. Aho?
As an experiment I use, too, old dry / rotted straw. Found it Has to be broken up…”pads” throw out TOO MUCH smoke. Broken, a “pad” burns Fast and CLEAN. (I have quite a bit of this “useless” straw).
Tried the straw as garden “helper”….WINDS WHIPPED ‘EM ALL AWAY. So…this. Aho?
So, between 9.28 acres of WEEDS…and about 11 bales of “useless” straw bales…we aren’t hurting for Fire STARTER. Aho?
But a Bucket of this can start a WEEK’S worth of fires. WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE REST? HOW can we SAVE on TREE burning use?
Are WEEDS…COMPRESSED, perhaps an answer?
Once we lived by a HUGE sawdust / shavings pile. Took paper bags, made sure the chips / etc. were well dried (spread out in sun / raked)….and mixed the with small wood chips mixed in. We’d use 1 to 3 bags (ends folded over) to heat our home during the night. Kept the house comfortable ALL night on these. Cut our LOG consumption to almost HALF.
As the “dust” smoldered in the bags, they’d catch the CHIPS on fire…and this would continue the unlit “dust”. Was a beautiful “mating”.
Now, no sawdust pile…BUT LOTS OF WEEDS!
Wondering if one can make Weed PELLETS for Pellet Stoves. Weed “BRICKS” (compressed with car hydraulic jack) as “WOOD”. ???
I once worked at a Wood Box Factory. SAWDUST GALORE. BIG HUGE Electric Press…unused, in the shop. Got permission to use it. MADE SAWDUST “BRIQUETTES”!  The owner took ‘em home AND USED ‘EM TO REPLACE HIS WOOD in their House Heating Wood Stove. Told me: “You’re ONTO SOMETHING!”  They sold the shop before the “something” could “come to any use”. So….???
Weeds tho, found about anywhere…can maybe “do” the same thing. No one wants WEEDS …dry or not…in their garden Organic Mix. So, WHAT GOOD ARE THEY!
Nature uses ‘em TO SPREAD FIRES. Right? WHY NOT CONTAIN THEM for YOUR USE?
Just ‘tossing this out’ to you, the reader, to think about. Might help “MOM” / NATURE / AND keep your place Fire Resistant and “groomed”…and YOU BENEFIT FROM this “Useless” By-Product of NATURE. Aho?
Good luck.   re

Went to Habitat Store. In their “Free” (wood scrap) pile where about 40 old SPLIT CEDER FENCING Horizontal “boards”. WOW! Loaded all. Then a gal came out and said “Those are NOT FREE…they’re $1.00 each”. Me: “One of your guys said they WERE…and they ARE at your FREE Pile area”. Her: “We just haven’t put a sign on it”.
Ok, took all off and she got a sign on it Immediately.
WAS A REASON: Another came out to help unload. A kid in his mid 20s.
“What were you going to use these on?”  I explained about my Low Cost Dome-making for the homeless / etc. HE WILL BE COMING OUT THIS AFTERNOON with 1 or more friends…TO LEARN TO BUILD ONE!
We got on the SPIRITUAL…HE’S a SEARCHER! HUNGER for a LIVING God!  “I go to many different churches…none seems to fill my need. All seem …. (hesitant)…well……..more “man”, than “GOD”.
LET’S SEE WHERE THIS LEADS!  Will keep you informed. ( :   re

Well, now have the BIG “Bad” Tarp over all the rest. Had Sky and buddy help….tho under full protest. “Tomorrow”. Told um I’ve “heard that again and again….GET YOUR SHOES ON AND TURN THOSE DANG GAMES OFF. Let’s GO!” Saw I’d had enough of their excuses….they ‘go-ed’! ( :
Told ‘em “it’s not hard work” (did NOT tell ‘em of the HUGE STONES needed lugging to hold the edges down). WORKED ‘EM NEAR TO DEATH! ( : ( :
Once done, we tried the Cone Fireplace. THINKING the tall chimney was NOT close enough to the tarps on top….well : MELT!
So I let the tin cool and took off the one LONG one…inserting only the shorty that was on the longer. Tried again. JUST RIGHT!
The melt created a large hole through ALL the tarps. PERFECT “CHIMNEY”! I’ll leave it JUST LIKE IT IS. Snow / Rain wont be a problem….with fire going it turns to STEAM and exits as that. Not big enough to cause a problem with no fire…and when leaving for long periods, will be putting a wide Tarp completely over the hole. Stopping all snow / rain that would come in (doing DITTO on Adams as well). Aho?
So, LOOKING GOOD and NEARLY OUTSIDE READY!  The GOOD Tarp will go on next. Then will Secure with Crisscross ropes all along. Ground to Ground. Just to make SURE no winds cause trouble. Aho?
The edges will all be in the trench and then bermed. THAT (fully covered) will then be done. Next to the inside doing. Can “do” secure from the weather. Can take my time. Do it up RIGHT. Aho?
The boys sat inside…actually WIDE-EYED at the ROOM inside. This thing is HUGE (when compared to the other 2). A REAL Cabin HOME!
We can fit BOTH the others in this AND HAVE EXTRA ROOM TO SPARE! (I’m NOT KIDDING!) !!!
Price hasn’t risen a bit. Still mostly SALVAGED Materials. Purty sure $200.00 will do…outside AND IN, comfortably. YARD LOOKING ALOT CLEANER now. ( :
I’m happy. Wife’s happy. NEIGHBORS Happy TOO! (Suspect the County “cops” will b as well. SURE HOPE SO!).
So, that’s the report for today. Melt and All.  PTL!   Re

Winds lowered. Sky and I were able to get a larger “scrap tarp” on. About a 2 hour job. Several holes in these but Bad COVERS Bad…and all helps pad the many willow “nobbies”.
The big GOOD tarp will hide those below….but INSIDE these will need WHITE SHEETS put on to hide all the various colors. I’ll get those at the 2 Cheap Shops when I can. I’ll use willows Crisscrossed to help hold ‘em tight. Did this in my Tipis too…REALLY LOOKED GREAT! Did away with the Drape “Poofs” AND HELPED INSULATE as well!
Sky was goofing around with a long piece of white PVC pipe. Had part stuck outside into the sun. Put his ear to the inside (and RAISED) part, to listen. Looked at me and said “THERE’S HOT AIR COMING THROUGH THIS, Grampa!” Told him “Heat Rises. The outside is in the sun. You’re holding this inner part ABOVE the outside part. The sun’s heating the outside and rising to you. If this pipe were BLACK, it would be ALOT HOTTER.”
Then it dawned on me…a BLACK pipe(s) run out like that….with a 45 or 90 Degree elbow WOULD HELP HEAT INSIDE OF ANY HOME! Even in WINTER! Snow wouldn’t stay on long using Black. WOW! A NATURAL Solar HEATER! NON-ELECTRIC!   ???   re

Today Red Elk received another generous donation for the work he has spent writing for you on his blog. I want to thank the readers for thinking of him because it is so important to support his work. He by no means is getting rich off of this. He has no advertisers and had received in the few months that is has been operational a total of $100.00. That may not seem like too much for all the work and effort, but every time someone sends a donation in he is able to buy food for his family or invest in something important to build a project or keep the lights on. So from the bottom of my heart – thank you for doing what you can – for this hard working Medicine Man.
I also want to thank the volunteers who keep this blog running. It would never be kept up to date if it wasn’t for Red Elk’s good friend Whale Sister who makes sure every time an e mail comes in that she corrects the spelling and posts it immediately to the blog. You are getting his messages hot off the press. As soon as Red Elk writes us an e mail she gets to work immediately and posts it fast. I can’t even believe it. If it wasn’t for her, I would be in a lot of trouble, because I simply don’t have the time left in the day.
I also want to thank Adam. Adam is capturing video and pictures and doing his own work with Red Elk which is so pure and genuine. Adam provided the notes for the pictures. So without further adue, here are some pictures that Adam sent me (a few days ago – see what I mean!) and I wanted to acknowledge every one from the reader to TKWeb for hosting the site, to Whale Sister (you may know her as WS), Red Elk’s family and friends. Really cool to be in this community together.
