This is a brilliant, and rather a curious method of storing livestock feed or bedding grasses, without having to build infrastructure. one spies these all over Nepal, great especially if you're just starting out, and you've got livestock to take care of.

Hey guys just briefly look this This here is a food storage for cows and buffalo in the water buffalo or just called buff here in Nepal. This is how they stole the grass and the hay or whatever they do raise the grain that they use for the Buffalo. I'll get the camera swung over so you can see what's making awful noise there. But these things are built up as you see at the top there, they're built up bamboo poles and they all the grasses piled up and then they they wind it with with spring they wind it with whatever cord they've gotten goes round and round. And the grass is kind of drapes down over men and as they use it, they pull out the bottom and the rest of the grass falls down. If you can look at that one over there, let me get behind the camera and show you this a little better.

Okay, you see the other one down there. Let me zoom in on that baby. Of course you can see here, there's the pole. Sorry for the hand. There's the bamboo pole that is planted on but they've been using this one for quite a while. And so it's gone down quite a while and they haven't used this one at all.

You got your bamboo at the top here. And these are normally platforms. Can I get my hand there? There we go. You see the platform here. It's full of a lot of bamboo sticks and is held up by bricks or props or rocks or whatever you can do.

And they go ahead and pile the grass up there on top of this platform. Using the bamboo is kind of a central guidance going up there. And then they they they wind it around as they as they come up. Although you can't see the the chord the string that they're using here, and let me swing around and look at our buff. Or buff buddy, or rather vocal little lady inside there. I assume that's a lady I don't want to.

I don't want to get close enough to ask her. But I don't know if you can see that. I'm going to try to adjust the lighting later. But right there, you've got a lot of very good manure, really good compost, they've got it mixed in with some leaves and with some grass, and of course, as you know, that is gold for the farming. So, you know, here we've got shelter. That's good enough for a few cows, a few bucks buffer, whatever you've got.

And here, we've got the food being stored out here. What's nice about this technique is as it rains, it just just bleeds right off the top of this. So the inside doesn't really get affected. Too much you're not bleaching out too much of your nutrients out of the straw out of this grain body that you're using for feed. It's a very ingenious technique being done here. Of course, this is pulk Rene Paul, and this kind of technique isn't a poly, I have not seen this myself so much in India.

But this is what I consider really brilliant way to not have to build infrastructure to protect the feed your animal feed for the winter time. Yes. And you carry us out there darling with with your with your version of the anthem, and we'll get on to the next
