When the staff at Ming Lounge asked us at Osmosis to organize a fundraiser to generate proceeds for a new mural we said HELL YES. The Ming has become a community hub for mind blowing events and freaks of every variety over the last few years. Let’s band together and help give back to them after everything they have given to the local underground scene!

I made a new website to book @gorge.onsen direct to cutout the tech overlords.
This 1940’s bungalow originally resided in Wisconsin. In the mid-nineties it was shipped in pieces to a parcel of land a few hundred feet from the banks of the historic Columbia River. In 2016 I purchased the property for $25k down. I could feel the tides shifting in the real estate market and knew I had to get my shit together if I was ever able to own property. In 2018, I started clearing the forest in the back with @natebphotos and in 2020 I started assembling groups of friends to help over the summers for the bigger projects.
It’s been one of the most life changing things I’ve done. The few acres have been a microcosm. And I’m grateful for the opportunity to share it more affordably.
This marks the first wave of new residents arriving in March, hailing from Paris, London, NYC, Bandung, Baltimore, Mexico City, Guadalajara, and beyond.

The original idea for the twin turbo wood-burning hot tub came from an article in Mother Jones. I took the recipe from the article in Mother Jones, a 400-gallon stock tank with a Chofu stove, and doubled it. Starting in March of 2014 and ending in the early summer, we piecemealed the set-up seen here in a few weekend pushes. We built the platform out of dimensional doug fir, with some old railroad ties as footings. We burned out a dying Doug Fir, cut it in half with a chainsaw, and turned it into a cold plunge.
Over the years, I’ve learned a few things about how to use the tub most efficiently. For best results, I use Douglas fir, chopped small, and check the fires every half hour. Getting lazy with fire maintenance just prolongs the whole process. How long the tub takes to warm up depends on ambient temperatures and how attentive I am to the fires, but usually ranges from 3 to 5 hours. I suspect with a better insulated top and bottom, this time could be reduced by maybe 25%. I don’t stir the tub until I’m ready to get in.
Now, the sauna is in need of a total rebuild, if not a serious refresh. The deck is covered with tarped cedar tongues and groove boards for the sauna rebuild. The galvanized 500-gallon stock tank is starting to rust. The cedar hot tub cover, after being thrown on the ground for the last time, met its demise courtesy of a barbecue fire last week. The twin stoves have seen better days, but they still have a lot of life left in them. It will be rebuilt; there’s no question about that, just how it will be done. New Cedar tanks are expensive, I’ve been looking on Craigslist and Facebook, and if I find one I’ll grab it. Most likely, I get another stock tank and focus more on insulating the sides, top, and bottom and wrapping it in cedar. Hopefully, with a bit of luck, the next iteration will last another 10 years. With any luck, it will last another 10 years. Check out my substack for a more indepth break down.
