Mother Earth News and Marjory Wildcraft - The Homesteading Summit

Today's lineup is covering a menagerie of topics!

Pat Foreman! She told just what I wanted to know about chickens. I do not yet have them, but the coop is already there, for the three small chickens I plan to have next spring
The others I watched today were not that interesting to me ... but maybe to you ...

Woohoo, today's the day! Paul's presentation will be airing today - let us know what you think!

I thought it was pretty entertaining myself, and addresses a lot of key criticisms of rocket mass heaters.

Yeah, Paul's presentation today is exactly  what I've been looking for to get my family on-board with RMH technology.

if you want a Rocket Mass Heater, then Paul's presentation was important. For me Stephanie Syson was more interesting, because she told about community gardens. The new pictures Geoff showed on the Greening the Desert project were very interesting too, of course.

Plagued by the "b" word - buffering. They can put a man on the moon, but can't get decent internet speeds out in the boonies. Watched Paul's presentation, enjoyed it but took twice (if not longer) to watch.

It's the final day! Who's watching what today? Lots of great presentations in the lineup!

Does anyone have any idea what the encore videos might be? I really wanted to see Paul and Geoff's videos but I had a family emergency to deal with and I can't afford to pay for the extra access right now.

Today I watched all but one presentations. I am not going to 'build chickens', so I did not watch that one. But all others were (or at least seemed) interesting.
Which one did I like most today? I think it was Brad Lancaster. He does not only tell about catching and using rainwater, but also about legalize actions that were illegal and making suburbs a better place to live.

I think they first look which videos are rated highest, and those will be the encore videos.

the bonus video of Geoff Lawton is great!

I enjoyed the Summit immensely, and thanks to Geoff's videos, now my husband is interested! I couldn't get my head around some of the concepts; but I knew they were right up his alley and he could translate them for me. I'm so glad Geoff's video was an encore presentation!

Peter Liv wrote:i just watched Jerome Osentowski's greenhouse.  It was a very good introduction to a earth sheltered greenhouse, going over basic features.  But it was a basic talk.  If I purchased this Mother Earth package, would I get complete access to Jerome's book?  Or should I just purchase his book directly?

Both of Osentowski's presentations are pretty basic, and the possibility lifetime access contains for a download-able video/PDF/mp3 is just the presentation, itself. If you want to go in-depth, buy the book. That goes for the other presentations as well, except for Geoff's, because he has a lot of freely accessible stuff online. I bookmarked quite a few of the sites under the presenters' pictures. I think that's a good way to find out more about things one finds interesting.
I really like being able to go back and see some things I skipped the first time around, not to mention the access I've gotten to the 2016 Home Grown Food Summit.
