I've looked around and can't see it.  Is there a way to buy all of the content on this site or at least from Paul?  I'm also interested if it is possible to purchase it and have all digital content shipped on a usb drive or hard drive?  I see packages and individual things but I'd be interested in all of it, and if I don't have to download each thing that would be nice.

this is thread number 380,609.  Assuming we could just convert the text of a thread ...   like we wrote a program to do it ...  suppose there is 10k of text, on an average thread ...    3 gigs.  Doable.  

Assuming 1 image per thread that is 1 meg:  380 gigs.  Getting tougher, but still doable.  It might be that this will end up at 2 tb.

And then people say that when there is an HD image available, they want that.  I would guess it would be about 5x bigger.  


And, this would be for your private, personal use.  Not for resale and not for some weird piracy thing.

And we haven't even started talking about the products.  


The short answer is:  we have never made anything like that.  It sounds like it is possible, but it would be a huge amount of work.

I am wondering, are you asking about the content such as instructions for the various projects like Rocket Mass Heaters and composting and gardening, and building techniques, etc?  Or was Paul correct in thinking you wanted a thumb drive with every single thread and topic and discussion?
