Thanks for following up!  Here is my email to you.

​Hello Christopher!

Paul received your email and asked me to contact you.  

Are you thinking you would like to join our permaculture bootcamp?  

It sounds like you would be a good fit here and you have lots of skills to offer.   We are currently bringing in new folks this spring to hopefully have a full crew this summer.  We have lots of fun projects planned, the gardens are already overflowing with food, we are working on fencing so we can bring in livestock and we will be putting the finishing touches on our existing cabins so we can start to build new ones.  

Here are our next few start dates:
june 7
july 5
aug 2
sep 5
oct 4

Please let me know if you have questions or if there is anything I can do to help.
I look forward to meeting you!

Thank you,
Samantha

It's a fairly detailed message and I'm hoping somone can track it down from last saturday and give me a shout! I very much look forward to hearing back from someone about what you have going on there and how i could potentially fit in!!

Hello Christopher!

Paul forwarded your message to me and I replied to you.  

We would love to have you come out and join the bootcamp!  
Our next few start dates are:
June 7th, July 5th and Aug 2nd.

Would one of those dates work for you!

Thanks!

Hello Jesse!

We do tours sometimes.   Probably the best way to see all the things is to rent a cabin for a few days.  When were you thinking of coming?
Here is a link to our rentals:

If you can stay a week or longer, you can join the permaculture bootcamp.  You will get to see everything, learn permaculture skills and help out with some fun projects.

We do a youtube live called the Saturday Smackdown.  Usually about once a month.  
Anyone is welcome to join us!




I think doing more of this would be a great way to help folks find community or get started with their gardens and permaculture journey.  

Folks with pie will get a heads up on the topic and can suggest future topics.

We probably won’t get there till sometime in June or July….no fixed itinerary yet…so plenty of time for you folks to overhaul/create an RV spot.

I was under the impression that the sepper program could be done from an RV rather than a cabin.

Hello Tys!


You can come do the sepper program in an RV!  

If you get a site at base camp will have your own private space and be close enough all the fun things going on that you can jump into projects, group meals and game night when you want to.    You will be close to power and have the super luxury of the shower shack and willow feeders!    
Here is a little map of basecamp:

Come see all this stuff first hand!  

You can immerse yourself in community and the permaculture lifestyle.

Step outside your cabin and pick food straight from the garden.



Join the bootcamp to learn the skills you need to build your own home and create permaculture gardens.

Wheaton Labs has openings for long term residents too!  You can live on an acre of community land.  Build your own humble home and large garden with the help of our community.  You can raise livestock, grow veggies or other cottage industry to sell or trade within the community.

Learn about skid-able structures.  Build your own tiny home so you can live anywhere!

Hello Tys!

I can get you all set with the particulars.

Our access road is gravel.

We are a few miles from a local camp ground with a dump station if you need one.  

You can get mail here or have things delivered to the shipping depot in Missoula.

Hello Tys!

We would love to have you summer here!

We are cool and lovely in the shade and warm in the sunshine.  

There are few great RV spots at base camp and we will be working on more this spring.

Gray water can go into the plants here and you will have access to the shower shack, willow feeders and a regular bathroom.   You can jump into project as much as you want or just hang out and enjoy the gardens and woodland.  

I think this is a neat idea if you can get organic straw.  A lot of wheat is grown with persistent herbicides and that can really diminish the health of your soil and garden plants.
