Download the movie that documents the 2022 Permaculture Technology Jamboree (PTJ), where the world's most innovative designers, builders, tinkerers, bodgers, fixers, goofballs, and water-witchers are brought together to explore and experiment with all kinds of things related to homesteading and permaculture.  The results are consistently amazing!

Now you can see the best of every project, including extensive interviews with the instructors in one feature length movie.  




New and old natural building methods have been unlocked and refined, like mycelium insulation, and roundwood and earthen building techniques.  New time- and energy-saving inventions have been born – solar and passive solar designs to capture, store, and move heat, water, and even electricity. Wood heat technology has grown into maturity, finding new expressions and practical applications such as the Rocket Kiln, Forge, and Crucible, achieving heat-work that was previously regarded as "impossible."  

The best part? You can build this stuff at home, mostly for cheap or free!



Some of the things covered in this movie:
  • the hyper-efficient, wood-fueled, and clean-burning rocket kiln that changed the ceramics world
  • mycelium insulation - all-natural, biodegradable and non-toxic insulation panels that you can grow at home with free materials - and harvest culinary and medicinal mushrooms in the process
  • an all-wood Proenneke hinge (a giant wooden hinge made from a root-ball)
  • spinning wheel for wool made from bicycle parts
  • log picnic table
  • hugelkultur - a self-fertilizing, self-watering raised garden bed
  • simple solar pump
  • spring terrace - a land feature that can produce hundreds of gallons of water per day from dry land
  • many styles of food preservation
  • a shippable rocket heater core - pre-fabricating the hardest part of a rocket mass heater, so you can easily make your own luxurious, efficient home-heating device
  • log beehive
  • a beautiful shaving horse for traditional woodworking
  • using animals to seal a pond
  • sheep shearing and wool processing
  • robust apothecary - gathering, processing, and storing plants for natural remedies
  • rocket hot tub - a super-efficient, wood-fueled hot tub
  • rocket forge - a super-efficient, wood-fueled forge for metalwork
  • harvest and process clay for pottery and glaze
  • plant a living fence
  • a door for a weirdly-shaped door-frame, with a snappy magnetic closure mechanism
