Looking for homesteading & cob events around Spokane, WA.

Hello, I'm looking for homesteading type events going on in the Spokane area.

I would like to volunteer on a cob project to get experience in the overall process. I did see there were some workshops over in Missoula with Paul, but there seemed to be a long waiting list.

Thanks

I’m in the Spokane area,  try contacting WSU Extension services.

Still looking - any volunteer opportunities for this spring/summer?

There are openings in the bootcamp at Wheaton Lab near Missoula, MT. https://wheaton-labs.com/bootcamp/

Currently the bootcamp focuses on gardening in the morning and does other homesteading things in the afternoon. I am not aware of any cob projects on going but you may be able to help someone in ant village or deep roots later in the summer.

Hi Pete!

I am excited to make some cob this winter too!  I use animals for making cob so the muddy seasons are when it happens.  



You might check out this event.   Spokane is pretty close to Wheaton Labs.   I have done the drive many times.   It is easy going through beautiful mountains.

I have been in love with cob for many years( no hands on experience though).  I have property about an hour from Spokane.  We should have a cob event here. :-) I have been looking to have some cob projects done here, RMH, insulating some of my berm home. And maybe a palatable cob to my well house. As well as a pizza oven, or sauna house for fun.  Lets finds others? or youtube and play in the mud :-)

hi Pete, I am in Spokane and am looking for a source of clay to build a practice RMH in a covered area at  my backyard and then maybe one in my skoolie or shed cabin. I would love some help we can make an event out of it!

Where to find clay in Spokane? I have a truck to haul if some one has quality clay on their land or knows a locally scavengable deposit.

I went to Rocket Mass Heater workshop at Wheaton labs in 2022 and am confident and eager to build one finally. One in our primary house being the goal. to get off natural gas. Wheaton Labs is awesome you should go! Their Fall Fest is coming up in October btw. I am going if you or anyone  wants to carpool let me know.
