Hello Austin!

That looks like a lot of fun.  
Thanks for posting this!

Just trying to set my expectations correctly and make the most of my visit...

Thanks!

Hello Allen!

Our permaculture bootcamp is a year round education in permaculture, homesteading and community building.   Folks come from all over to learn how to build a humble home and a large garden, maintain tools and meet their own needs with hands on skills mentoring.
Tons more details here:
https://wheaton-labs.com/bootcamp/


A few times throughout the year we, we offer some kind of fun event.  A Jamboree is an event that runs for a week or two.  We will be working on multiple projects simultaneously and each project will have an instructor.   This gives folks who travel from far away the opportunity to learn many things while they are here.  

For the rocket mass heater Jamboree, we have a bunch of different builds we would like to work on.  Someone who comes to this event will learn how to build a rocket mass heater to safely heat a home with very little wood.  They will also learn to build with this technology.  A rocket hot tub and rocket oven are two ways the same technology is applied to bring luxury to your homestead.

Thanks!

My wife is onboard, as long as we can bring our dogs (2 well-behaved great danes).  I'll show her the cabin options tonight when she gets home from work.

Hello Allen!

Your dogs are super cute!

Here is a little video of the dog area right behind the Dog Star cabin.

Hello Paul!


There are lots of options.  
We burn a lot of cardboard.   Walnut shells work great.   Pine cones are good too.  

I also burn just tiny twigs from bushes.    

The smaller the diameter of the wood, the hotter the fire will burn.   Because you are storing the heat in the mass this means you can heat your home with a very small amount of sticks and twigs.

Is there any chance this stuff will be recorded and released for the rest of the world?

Hello Rob!


Here is a great movie we produced.  It comes with plans to build your own rocket mass heaters.
