My team and I at Owlfly LLC invented a new type of insulation that combines the best properties of sprayfoam and mineral wool (energy efficiency + fire resistance) without the health risks of either!

This video perfectly illustrates why our work is so important.

The Shell House, a project by K&B Partners, is a perfect example of how biotech materials can create an eco-friendly and energy-efficient space. These materials can be engineered to possess unique properties such as thermal insulation and self-cleaning abilities.

does insulation taste like cotton candy

It’s glass… It’s literally made of shards of glass…

Survival Clothing What to Wear:

It would be great to know where we will be and what the temperature will be like when the SHTF. But that ain't a gonna happen and you can't carry everything for every little situation. Here are some things to consider as a general rule for the unexpected and the planned outing:

Wool vs Cotton: Wool is best for cold weather while cotton is best for warmer weather. Wool is a powerful insulator. In fact, it's the second-best natural insulator next to goose down. It also repels water and wicks moisture. The lanolin, with its antibacterial, antimicrobial and water repellant properties, can irritate skin and can't be removed simply through washing. It's more durable and more wrinkle-resistant than cotton and it hardly retains odors and stains. Cotton, on the other hand, is a warm-weather fabric. Like wool, cotton has moisture-wicking properties. But the difference between wool vs. cotton is that cotton is a light, breathable fabric that helps you stay cool in the summer. It also provides excellent protection against the ultraviolet rays of the sun. It's hypoallergenic, easy to care for, and affordable.

Survival Clothing Principles:

Your body helps regulate body temperature. Clothing should work WITH your body. Exercise can help keep you warm in the winter and hydration (water intake) will help keep you cool in the summer.

Bulky or tight clothing is bad for survival. Synthetic [lighter/thinner] "fabrics" may be better options.

What you have with you when SHTF will be your survival clothes. Keep your "survival" clothing near you at all times (in a bug-out bag that is WITH YOU).

Dress for the function, not the fashion/form; the proper clothing for the situation.

Dress to blend in with the environment (gray man).

Ceiling Insulation

My first impression of insulating a ceiling is that the damn insulation is so expensive! The R13, 23 inch wide insulation was $126.50 for 11 bats. I had to buy two. That was the most expensive item on my interior list of supplies. By comparison the 15 inch insulation that is 32 feet per roll was only $31.87 per roll. The funniest part was when I was trying to find a source for this, every post I…

I just did a back-of-the-napkin calculation and realized that - if every building in the US replaced their fiberglass with YellowJacket™ (our new insulation material) - we could eliminate over 3% of the entire country’s carbon emissions every year. Holy cow!

A 100% replacement rate is obviously unrealistic in practice, but it speaks volumes to the potential of this technology.
