Transcript excerpt

I bought this abandoned concrete bunker on a bunch of land in middle of nowhere Arkansas. It was built by a guy who was a part of a militant extremist cult that was raided by the feds back in the eighties. After the raid, he came out here and built this bunker to hide from the government. It's 10 inch thick concrete walls, concrete ceiling, and it's buried underground, so you can't see it from the road or from satellite. Now when I saw this, I thought it'd be a perfect foundation for an Earthship style homestead, and that's exactly what I plan to do. And it's been abandoned for over twenty tier, so there's a lot of storm damage, overgrowth, cleanup that needs to happen. So I'll be making a lot of videos and content on the process cleaning this property up, making the house livable, turning it into an earthship, and, building up the homestead. So follow along. I'll also be making some videos on the history of this place, the history of that cult or that extremist group. It's pretty fascinating. There's actually a documentary about them. So, yeah, follow along. A lot of content to come. A lot of work to be done. See you on the next one.
