Biography
US Naval Academy grad, served on a destroyer.  Wife and two kids. Got sad when I learned that the way most food is produced is putting our country on a downward spiral. Was encouraged when I found Joel Salatin, regenerative ag, permaculture, etc.  Trying to homestead in the suburbs.  Having fun with Skip/pep.

For the BB20 event, I'd like to contribute to the food pile/bring some food.  What are your recommendations to best do this? (I'm flying in to Missoula, and I'm planning to get a ride from the airport to WL)  Pack food in my suitcases/check a cooler?  Have the airport shuttle driver stop at an organic grocery store in Missoula on the way from the airport to WL?  Wait to arrive at WL and contribute cash to whomever is responsible for sourcing most of the food pile and/or ordering it to be delivered (are there grocery delivery services that will deliver to WL)?

Does the clothesline have to be made of a rope/line material, or could it be made of wire?

Hi Ashley, I'm interested in chatting about accommodation options and airport rides as well.  (When I filled out the form, I was probably assuming that I would drive.  Upon further thought, I decided to fly.)

I have over 20 BB's.  Just now submitted the application to get the official BB20 badge.  :)

I'm interested, depending on dates.  Probably can't stay the full five days, but open to stacking firewood day 1.

Hi Nicole, sorry, I did not receive a notification regarding the comment.  Here is a photo of the same three pickles jars three weeks later with the buttons still down.
