For those suffering from back/ neck/ wrist, shoulder... etc pain from sitting long periods this book helped me a ton.

book:  Pain Free at your PC
https://www.amazon.com/Pain-Free-Your-PC-Computer/dp/0553380524

It's basically about realigning/stretching your muscles that get tight in certain areas from sitting thus causing pain.  
Most of the excercises you are just laying on the floor in various positions.
The book is an interesting read as well.

I had bad carpal tunnel and it fixed it.  I was able to return back to full time computer work.

The catch is you have to do the stretches which take 15 - 60 min depending on how hard core you want to get  

Bonus is if you do them at night before bed it's kind of a muscle tension release feeling which also helps with sleep!

I noticed my amazon packaging is increasingly a sealed brown paper envelope instead of the old plastic white ones.  

Also was reading some other food plasticy packaging was biodegradable too...

I know some content creators have also been posting their videos on X formally twitter.  It is a corporation too however I believe the algorithm is open sourced and they are constantly deleting bots.

Might be worth a try and see if it gets more views over there.

Thanks Paul & Stephen.  

I'm going to be on a trip and probably won't be able to make the 2nd of November if that's an exact requirement.

I can also do the SEPPers thing basically rent a cabin to do Boot stuff if that's better.  I'm thinking around Nov 7th my trip should be well done and I'll be available.  

Any spots for the bootcamp opening in November?

I just exited my corporate desk/computer job.  Over the last couple years I've been thinking of ways to have a more meaningful impactful life and actively do good for the world and people around me.  

I was drawn to permaculture / gardening videos by people like Jeff Lawton and others randomly online.
I'm reading Gaia's Garden right now.

The permaculture concepts appeal to me because:

1.  Humans were created or evolved to be working with our bodies actively.  It's good for us physically and mentally.  
2.  I need to do something that has meaning and purpose.  I would speculate others do too and maybe they don't know it.  Maybe they just feel like something is "missing".
3.  I'm into eating good food.  The first step to making a good dish is getting good ingredients.  I've only had food fresh from other people's garden a handful of times and it was amazing.
4.  Limit harmful chemicals.  I try to buy as good of food as I can in my city but it's covered in plastic... I wonder where all these microplastics are coming from.
5.  Simplifying and reducing consumption and "things/stuff" frees you mentally and financially.  If you are free from debtors and paying for un-needed "stuff" you are free to do what you want.
6.  I like learning and teaching others.  I don't know that much now as I'm only just beginning but from what I'm seeing there is so much to learn in this culture which is amazing.
7.  Community.  I thought about getting land somewhere but then you're out there somewhere by yourself which sounds lonely to me.  

Anyway, those are my thoughts.  I've been thinking about this stuff for a couple years now and it's been good to see other people here on these forums and some of the podcasts of people that have similar ideas.

Have a good one!!
