My thoughts; aluminum cans as a building product, fine until a lightning strike if there's too many touching. Glass bottles, great as is, see other houses that have used it & how they used it. Plastic 2 litres, fill w/ sand then bury in the walls as you might a rock or big chunk of wood, make it thick & use a RMH for heat.

I thought this was a great how to video for people w/ deer problems but I don't have so many deer here so I probably will not be making it for myself. What i was interested in was what was to be done w/ the byproducts that were used. Here we have the "bone sauce" obviously, but we also have the cooked & de-fatted bones and the ashes from the fire. Personally, I'd put the bones back in the ashes, add more hardwood & burn the bones till they're turned to ashes. Now you have potash and bone meal ready to put on your veggies along w/ some of that diluted Beer now donated as urine. I haven't done this before but i think it'll work. As my first post and as a small way of introduction this is the type of recycling / re-purposing i like. I prefer to use the secondary or waste products of one product or project to add to or complete another product.
