This project has been a lot of work and we are almost ready to launch phase 1. We would love your feedback before we launch. See this thread to get a sneak peek and to help us polish it up before we go permies. https://permies.com/t/75092
I am planning stages of embedding on an epic journey across the United States. It will take over 2 years to complete and I need your help.
I am calling it the BermaBurn Tour. On this tour I will be visiting
permaculture sites with three goals in mind:
1. Film as many online
permaculture related courses as possible.
2. Film a guided tour and sit down interview with a leader of each location.
3. Film our experiences traveling across the country.
The journey will cost about $200,000 to accomplish. If you have funding ideas I would be happy to hear them out. Right now we are considering either investors for a % ROI or a Kickstarter. If you have Kickstarter pledge ideas I would be happy to hear them.
I will be taking an apprentice with me to help with documenting the trip, filming, driving and keeping everybody up to date on the forums and other social media. If you are interested in being this apprentice please fill out this form. I may take more than one or split up the duration of the internship (i.e. four 6 month internships or two 1 year internships):

Now, this is where I need your help! Below you will find a link to the PermaBurn Tour Map. I need your help in updating the map with the following location pins:
Type - Color - Icon Name - Description (please provide as much detail as possible in the description)
Documentary Tour - Purple - Camera - If you would like you and your project or someone else's to be included in the documentary.
Course Filming - Yellow - Books - Here is the big money maker for you! We are looking for courses to film. We plan on spending up to 1 week filming any of the chosen courses. They can be as simple as how to build a wicking bed. Here is the revenue split we are considering for the course : 50/25/25 (50% to instructor, 25% to
Josiah, 25% PermaEthos) for the lifetime of the course.
