ChickenHole Base Ep. 20: Chicken Bowl

The fact that Google hasn't been paying Cody ad revenue for 2 years is an absolute tragedy. I have genuinely learned chemistry from this channel where I failed to learn it in school.

Good to see robo Cody is still up and running well 🤖

15:32 handheld to stationary shot to visual trick. This is not just a guy documenting a science experiment, this a guy genuinely having fun while doing it. Keep going Cody!

Cody, I really hope you are doing good. I know you were struggling there for a bit with your mental health, you are always in my thoughts. You are one of the very few YT channels that completely brightens our day and nakes it that much better when you upload something. You could upload an hour long vlog each day of you just talking or having some type of podcast, and I would be here for it and loving it. Take care and stay healthy my friend!

I have a feeling Cody is hiding some easter eggs around the base

At the 2 minute mark there was a chicken egg Placed in between the rocks. Did anyone else see it? There are chicken eggs placed everywhere in this video. Pretty cool Cody! Thanks for sharing.

I've heard you can make a type of opaque ceramics glaze from eggshells although am not sure of the process

7:56 You dug up that big beetle! he was living the dream burrowed next to the bucket and beneath the big rock. hope you found him another good spot lol

You know your gonna have a good time for the next 30 minutes when Cody uploads 😄

Hi Cody, just thought I'd give you a suggestion, not sure if you have any goals to improve the land, but if you do stay tuned: I live in a very dry climate with harsh sun as well, not quite as bad as your area but the principles will apply anyway. If you want the cheapest way to improve your soil, I suggest buying a wood chipper. Make sure it has enough power to chew through at least a 3-4 inch log otherwise you'll spend WAY too much time breaking down your dead wood. So here's the strategy, as you move around your property, collect deadwood into a pile somewhere. Once the pile is big enough for a few hours work, fire up the wood shipper and make your own mulch. Then pick an area that you want to improve and start putting down a layer of 2-4 inches of wood mulch. Then, whenever you have some waste water to get rid of (after washing clothes like you did for your compost) dump it on the wood chips. The wood chips will do amazing work protecting the soil. They lower the temperature, lower evaporation and provide shelter and shade for insects and microbiology that you need to kickstart living soil. The reduced evaporation loss alone is worth the effort, but the other benefits are game changes too. Try a small area, maybe 2-4 square yards, and see what happens over the course of 2 seasons as you let the woodchips + water break down. Maybe do a trial with 1 square yard with 2 inches, 1 patch with 4 inches and one yard with 6 inches to see what thickness of mulch would be best for your climate. If it turns out 6 inches isn't enough to keep your soil from turning to dust, then perhaps I am underappreciating the harshness of your climate. Best of luck!

I worked in a fish cannery as a summer job in the late 60's and early 70's. A few cans of fish from the late 40's were found in some lofts. The manager opened them and we sampled them at coffee break. Tasted fine.

Please use the stands for parabolic mirrors to cook or boil water. Perfect video thanks for the good content.

"I guess things are looking more and more like Mars every day" Man, I was grinning ear to ear through the whole video till this line hit me. Keep up the good work tho. It's truly inspiring.

"Modified sine" inverter is a pure square wave. Put some big inductive load in the circuit, like a blender, and see if the induction plate behaves. You can also get a pure sine inverter.

That inverter probably has a pretty dirty sine wave output and the induction top doesn’t like it. If you also hook up a reasonable sized resistive load in parallel (100w ish) that will often smooth out the inverters output. Of course there goes the efficiency gains, probably just get a basic resistive hot plate until you get a better inverter.

Google not paying him in 2 and a half years is wild

I need more CHB in my life. I miss Robo-Cody, Buddy, the chickens, and the SCIENCE!

Cody: "this is actually an induction hot plate" me: "huh, not even broken, cool!" Cody: "it doesn't work" ... and there it is
