Before you buy land in North Idaho, there's a conversation you need to have — and it involves soil depth, slope percentage, and a underground lake that's been there since the last ice age. Dave and Seth sit down with Erik Illum, a former Marine combat engineer who somehow became North Idaho's go-to septic engineer, and the conversation covers a lot of ground. Erik breaks down what makes a piece of land require an engineered system, why drip systems are often the only answer on steep terrain, and how the Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer quietly dictates how dense North Idaho development can get. Plus: whole-home incinerators, aquaponics, natural swimming pools, and Seth's plan to build an outhouse. It's one of those episodes that's genuinely useful and genuinely fun.
