Kickstarter is live!










This is Paul Wheaton's 16th Kickstarter!

When you’re bonkers about permaculture, you might seem a bit crazy to your friends and family.

Twelve years ago, we came out with a deck of Permaculture Playing Cards.
The idea was simple: give these decks to people as gifts so you seem a little less crazy.

And it worked.

People loved them so much that they kept asking for another deck.
So we started a long list of ideas, over a hundred in total, and chose the best ones to bring you something new:
the Purple Deck.


Why It Works

Here’s the magic: You hand someone a deck, maybe that cousin who thinks you’ve lost it because of your bizarre gardening techniques. They open it up, pull out two random cards, and spend about seven seconds looking at each.

That’s all it takes. Two cards. Fourteen seconds. And suddenly, they’re hooked on permaculture.

Each card is designed to spark curiosity and share one fascinating slice of the gardening, homesteading and permaculture world, from rocket cooktops to willow feeders, from forage gardening to cleaners you can eat.

What’s Inside the Purple Deck




Kickstarter kickback program!

You can get paid to share this project!

Hey Paul, it may be the name thingy with my email vs Permies name, I hope that all it is.  I'm almost kinda sure I made a $100 pledge.  I only bashed my forehead twice on the case opening while setting up the ks account, I'm back on two blood thinners now, so I got a bit of a mess to clean up.

Check with my email name in the first 5 or 6 folks to pledge.  They said I would get an email notice about charging my card upon the end of the starter.

Peace

These are going to be so pretty!   I love how you have all the fruits coming off the same tree.    The big, long tap root is so cool!

Looks like I am backer #90?  

I had to go ahead and pledge for 12 decks, and am sharing about this with friends.  What a fun, easy, and gentle way to share about permaculture.  

It seems that this kickstarter will be funded very quickly...less than 24 hours??

All I can do now is wait and see.

The monthlyish finished up last night around midnight.  So maybe a lot of people will be finding out about the kickstarter this morning.

The last two kickstarters have made predicting stuff pretty dodgy!

I haven’t got mine yet.  Credit card got broken into.  When I get the new one, you’ll have one more backer.

Which reminds me I will have to update KS because that’s the card I used for Kate’s sourdough book!

In Mike's maple video course he explains:

- How to sustainably tap your maple trees
- Collecting and storing sap the right way
- Boiling, filtering, and bottling techniques
- Simple rigs that save time and money
- Tips to avoid common beginner mistakes



If we get to $15,000 everyone who backs at $100 or more also gets this sweet item!
 
This one time, at band camp, I had relations with a tiny ad.
