Hello! My partner and I are new(er) to Permies.com and learning the lay of the land still— we have a very symbiotic relationship on our homestead. I’m curious if we can accomplish badges together?

I’ll keep the example simple; lets say we are going to build a lizard habitat together; we plan it together, gather stones together, and place them. Can we both earn credit towards the animal care badge for this joint effort?

We do really love this set-up though, mainly because it helps us evolve our plans for the property by seeing the various tasks and ideas associated to those initial plans…

The first day I mentioned the badge system she laughed at the idea and was like “Badges? We don’t need no stinking badges”… and the next day she changed her tune to “we can get that one and that one and that one and ooooh, did you see this one?!” 😂

Sorry, you have to each do your own badge work :(  

But you're very welcome to remind people that you are a pair so if an Otis sees that you are somewhat impressive and your partner is also somewhat impressive, they would consider the pair of you.

That reminder could take the form of a signature line comment that appears at the bottom of your posts.   Or on some BB submissions you could mention it.  Once you get far enough along in the program you can write up a sort of resume and mention it there.

You could also make a thread titled something like "Chris and ______'s SKIP Journey" detailing the things you've both accomplished.

For the lizard habitat, maybe you'd both make one, so you could both document it. Maybe for something more time-intensive, or that you only need one of, only one of you earns the badge. Maybe one of you focuses on Textile and Roundwood, and another focuses on Animal Care and Natural Medicine, that way each of you accomplishes Badges.

I think you can both learn the badges and how things are done, and then one might do the other actual work while the other takes pictures. That should make the documenting really easy, too!

Honestly having a partner around just to take pictures would make PEP about 20x easier to accomplish.

Documentation is more than half the battle for me.

If you have enough work to do the badges twice, just trade roles after each job is finished. There are many jobs which I could accomplish 3-5x on my tiny property.

You sure can, if you have Pie to spare. You can add Pie to a particular post you think is really helpful, or click on someone's profile - there is a give away Pie button there if you want to give it in a less specific way.
The nice thing about giving away Pie is that the person who gets it gets a while month of Pie even if you only had a few days left on it. If you have more than one slice, you do lose a whole month though.
Buying Pie helps keep the Permie forum's servers running. All about Pie: click the Pie slice at the top of the page.
