As you might notice, I just changed the blog’s layout. I have moved away from Google’s Blogger format to WordPress. It was not as easy as I thought it would be. Even though in a past life I was fully immersed in the IT world. Now if all goes well I’ll be cleaning up the look and functionality and will continue to post about all the fun and interesting stuff I encounter. Any one going to the Southern California Permaculture Convergence? I’ll be there helping out Eden and doing as much socializing as possible. Hope to see you there.

Here I set forth a plan to reclaim what has been taken from us without our consent. I speak of the ability to do things for ourselves.

This is of course a biased blog. I love all things nature, enjoy DIY projects, go backpacking as often as possible and generally feel overwhelmed by the overly complicated “world of today”. To much junk not enough content.

In this blog I plan on posting my version of good content. Also updates will be posted as progress is made with “The Plan”. So here it is, in no particular order.

• Hunt down some land. The more acres the better. Year round water would be a plus. Not many neighbours in sight.
• Become permaculture certified.
• Have a fulfilling daily yoga practice.
• Build a passive solar home of materials yet to be determined.
• Keep some livestock, have a large garden and fruit orchard.
• Make pottery (again).
• Solar, wind, micro hydro power on the property.
• Reclaim grey water.
• Become as self sufficient/employed as possible.
• Be part of a community of like minded people.

 So as this seed is planted I hope you will watch it with me as it grows into a wonderful tree that will provide shade for us all.

till next time
