Hello, SKIPPers!

I've been invited to put on a skip event at my place in Idaho. It would be over a weekend. Possibly in October. There are SO MANY bbs we could work on, which includes a list like:
Animal care,
Woodland care,
Natural medicine badge,
Foraging badge,
Some homestead bbs,
Some natural building bbs,
Roundwood badge,
Dimensional lumber,
Food prep and preservation,
Textiles,
Community badges
Metalworking bbs.
Even hide tanning for oddball bbs.
Some gardening bbs,
Tool care for sure,
If I get a RMH built in my greenhouse and a rocket stove built in my backyard, we could do several rocket bbs!

I have spots to park trailers and tents. I wouldn't charge for that. I do have a trailer and a she shed where people could stay if they don't have their own. I'm not sure how I would do food. Sine I want to teach, not cook. Maybe I could make breakfast before the day, lunch could be on our own (food prep bbs?) I could hire a dinner cook. (Hannah maybe??) Campfires and popcorn every night! 😃

Who would be interested, and which badges would yall want to focus on? I live in Central Idaho. If you're serious, PM me for address.

There are so many forums and so many threads, it's no wonder I miss some... but how did I miss this??
If you're still open to hosting an event this year, I'm still interested!
Has anyone else reached out?

I acquired a Rocket Oven! Though it isn't quite up and running at the moment - see This Thread - but maybe I could bring it and we do some of the food prep things?

If you want/need another 18 feet of Hugel and/or Scaffolding, I'd be down for that! (Maybe rent a tiny excavator?)
If you have access to logs and want benches, I need to build a three log bench.

I seem to remember reading you offered a Natural Medicine course, was that recorded? Can I buy access?
Otherwise, while I have my sand badge, I'm very new and would love more opportunities to learn.

You know, I was going to type all of this out, but maybe it's easier if I include a screenshot of my spreadsheet.
I'm very open to knocking out any BB I don't have. At any level.
Here are some of the things I still need.

Hey Clay! I haven't received any other interest. But you could come out for a weekend and we could knock out some bbs! I have space for more hugel beds planned. I might be able to arrange getting a mini excavator. I have several firewood logs that might work for 3 log benches. I need to pound out 3 of them for the 2nd level woodworking badge. The medicine badge class I did is recorded and you can buy it: https://permies.com/t/262538/Natural-Medicine-Badge-Class#2577491
There are several more medicine bbs we can get until it freezes hard. Which is comming! Maybe two more weeks.
I would really like to build a RMH. Maybe bbs there? You could heat my greenhouse for a week, which is a level 2 bb. If I build it.
Yeah, just message me. We can figure it all out.
 
Something must be done about this. Let's start by reading this tiny ad:
