Man Spends 365 Days Building an Off-Grid Geodesic Dome and Timber Shelter | by @MySelfReliance

Carving a habitable oasis out of a dense evergreen forest requires vision and relentless manual labor. Watch as an untamed plot is transformed into a highly engineered, off-grid refuge. The build begins by clearing towering pines and assembling a complex wooden geodesic dome. This interlocking triangle framework provides incredible strength against wind and extreme weather. After sealing the exterior with polycarbonate panels, the focus shifts to peeling logs for a rustic timber kitchen and insulating the dome. Inside, the massive task of installing an irrigation network, a thermal water sink, and deep split-log planters demands extreme precision to prevent structural rot. Ultimately, this wooden shell becomes a living machine. Complete with a solar ventilation system and a goldfish aquaponics setup, the finished greenhouse perfectly merges ecosystem engineering with the rugged beauty of the surrounding wilderness. ⏱️ Chapters: 00:00 Site Clearing 06:17 Foundation 08:51 Dome Framework 10:42 Exterior Glazing 11:39 Timber Shelter 21:25 Dome Insulation 27:14 Interior Systems 🎬 Original video by @MySelfReliance:    / @myselfreliance
