    Everything Keeps Breaking... Good Thing I Keep All This Crap | LOTS 901

    This was apparently the week everything decided to break. First the RV door handle snapped—and naturally it's an obsolete part that's basically impossible to replace. Then Starlink went down and looked suspiciously like another dead dish. Then my truck's tire-pressure warning came on and I discovered something I'd never seen before: a rock had actually punctured the tire. The good news? I had the old RV parts. I had a spare Starlink cable. And I had the tire plug kit and compressor in the truck. Check out my Amazon Storefront: https://amazon.com/shop/thelotsproject Or my Roadside Emergency Tools List: https://www.amazon.com/shop/thelotsproject/list/9D0I27UYYS33?ref_=aipsflist Maybe keeping useful crap around isn't such a bad idea after all. We're also hunting hornworms after dark with a UV flashlight. If you've ever tried finding those giant green bastards on a tomato plant during the day, you know how ridiculously well they disappear. Under UV? Completely different story. There's also progress on clearing the future solar field, plans for the wooden racking that'll hold 36–42 used panels, the continuing battle with bubbles in the cabin floor, and some thoughts about where the solar-build video series is going next. Then Kori found a box of deer antlers on Facebook Marketplace. So naturally we drove an hour to buy them. The dogs approved.

    Dangerous Trees, DIY Floor Fixes & Digital Independence Episode 900

    Episode 900 feels like a fitting reminder that almost every worthwhile project comes with a few unexpected lessons. This week I spent another long day clearing the future solar field, including dropping several large trees and one rotten dead tree that decided to make things a little more interesting than I'd planned. Fortunately, everything—and everyone—ended up on the ground where it belonged. Back inside the cabin, we're still chasing the vinyl floor bubbles. After sorting through plenty of internet advice, we tested several repair methods, found a couple that were a complete waste of time, and one that actually looks promising. If you're installing sheet vinyl yourself, this may save you some frustration. I also talk about the latest video in the solar build series covering the tools I'm using to clear the property, why I've been intentionally rebuilding my Nostr habit after getting burned out on traditional social media, and finish with a discussion about how Flock license plate cameras are being used in ways that go well beyond simply finding stolen cars. Topics include: • Clearing trees for the off-grid solar project • Safely dealing with standing dead timber • Repairing bubbles in sheet vinyl flooring • The tools making land clearing easier • Rebuilding healthier social media habits with Nostr • Flock cameras and expanding surveillance • Cabin build progress • Bitcoin and the LOTS community Thanks for listening and for helping this show reach 900 episodes.

    Coldcard, Cabin Mistakes & America's Geriatric Leadership

    Every off-grid project eventually humbles you. This week was our turn. The cabin floor is finally glued down... mostly. One overlooked detail turned into our first real construction mistake, and I walk through exactly what happened, what we learned, and how we're planning to fix it. Then we shift into one of the biggest Bitcoin stories of the week: the Coldcard security issue. If you self-custody Bitcoin—or plan to someday—there are some important lessons here that go well beyond one hardware wallet. We also spend some time asking why so many of the people making major political decisions appear increasingly unable to do the job, and whether our political system has any incentive to replace them before nature does.

    More Cabin Progress, New Videos & Another Government Head-Scratcher

    One minute I'm talking about clearing trees. The next minute I'm listening to a government official argue that sheep need a permit to drink from a pond. That pretty much sums up this week. We also get into more real-world use of the LogOx, why election commercials suddenly seem to be everywhere, why I'm changing how I approach social media, and where this channel is headed as we get closer to Episode 900. If you're interested in off-grid living, independent thinking, Bitcoin, building things yourself, or simply laughing at how ridiculous the world has become, you'll probably enjoy this one.

    The Vinyl Saga, the Death of Color & Another Endless War | Episode 897

    Some projects fight you every step of the way. This week it was sheet vinyl. What should have been a simple pickup turned into delays, confusion at Lowe's, wrestling giant flooring rolls into the cabin, and making some pretty nerve-racking cuts that couldn't be undone. From there we wander into a question that's been bugging me for months: Why has everything become gray? Cars. Houses. Restaurants. Businesses. Somewhere along the way it feels like personality disappeared. We also talk about another week of "war...ceasefire...war again" and ask the question nobody seems interested in answering: What's the actual plan? As always, it's another unscripted Monday morning conversation about building a life outside the system.

    Nothing to Hide? That's What Everyone Says Until the Camera Gets It Wrong

    How much privacy are you willing to trade for convenience—or the promise of safety? This week we look at the growing use of Flock license plate readers and why the argument of "I've got nothing to hide" completely falls apart once innocent people start getting caught in the system. One bad database entry, one misread plate, one false alert... and suddenly you're the problem. We also dive into the latest speculation surrounding Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham before asking a bigger question: why does nearly every major event now come with multiple believable conspiracy theories? Is public trust collapsing, or has technology simply made it harder than ever to separate fact from fiction? There's also plenty of homestead talk with updates on the cabin build, solar field clearing, flooring, wood chipping, and surviving another brutally hot Tennessee week.

    Wood Chippers, Self Checkout & Freedom You Don't Agree With | Episode 895

    This week on Episode 895 of The LOTS Project Morning Show, I finally get the wood chipper running after replacing the carburetor and changing the oil. We also talk about a new forestry tool that's headed to the property, why real freedom means defending the rights of people you disagree with, and whether self-checkout has quietly trained us to do work that stores used to pay employees to do. As always, expect plenty of opinions, a little sarcasm, and discussion from the live audience. ☕ Coffee of the Day: Light Brazilian from Food Forest Farms Affiliate Links & Sponsors • Blockstream Hardware Wallets https://rewards.blockstream.com/thelotsproject • LogOX Forestry Tools https://tidd.ly/4y07Qhb • Food Forest Farms Coffee https://foodforrestfarms.com • ComfreyRoots.com https://comfreyroots.com • Echo Radios https://echoradios.com?bg_ref=Sv7Jdlw250 Save $40 with code: ECHOBRIAN407720 • Amazon Storefront https://www.amazon.com/shop/thelotsproject

    Would the Founders Recognize America? Plus Cabin Progress, RV Lessons & Waymo

    A simple flooring project turned into another lesson in why building your own cabin is never as straightforward as it looks. This week I talk through the latest cabin progress, why weather is becoming the next obstacle, and how one overlooked specification completely changed the timeline. Then we shift gears into a conversation about autonomous vehicles, why I still won't climb into a driverless taxi, what years of full-time RV living taught us (both good and bad), and finish with a discussion that's especially fitting before Independence Day: Would the people who founded this country recognize what we've become? Along the way we cover: • Cabin construction updates • DIY lessons learned • Full-time RV realities • Waymo and autonomous vehicles • Bitcoin • Government, freedom and personal responsibility You'll also hear about some of the gear and products I actually use around the property. Some links mentioned are affiliate links that help support the show without costing you anything extra.
