I’m new here at Wheaton Labs & just finished my first full week in the bootcamp. I want to start sharing my experience while here for anyone interested. Everyone here has been very knowledgeable and super helpful and patient giving instruction. Days are full working on various projects with plenty of coaching and feedback. I’m enjoying my time here and have quite a bit to learn to meet my goals. Things I learned this week….
How to:
Safely use a chainsaw & axe
Split & stack wood correctly
Build a fire
Fell, de-limb, & strip a tree
Build junk pole fence
Use rocket stove
I’m expecting to stay for a good while and hope to strengthen my permaculture knowledge & experience with yalls support.
That sounds amazing! It seems like you’ve already picked up so many valuable skills in such a short time. How are you feeling about using the chainsaw and axe now—are you getting more confident? And building a junk pole fence sounds intriguing—was it tricky to get the hang of, or did it come together pretty easily with some practice? It sounds like you’ve got a great foundation already, and with your dedication, I’m sure you’ll keep learning and growing in no time.
