Have you ever heard of Hyper Adobe Construction? My friend Richard Ward who I first met while he was exploring the U.S. while living in his Honda Element is now living off-grid in the Arizona Desert.
In his second visit to Ethan’s podcast, Richard Ward gives an updated tour of his 24-acre homestead outside of Bisbee Arizona. Here he is teaching sustainable, natural building practices and off-grid living.
Make sure and stay tuned to the end of the Podcast where Richard makes a special invite to come and experience and help build with natural materials through his Eco-Residency program.
