Hello, My hometown of Fort Collins, CO is updating urban agriculture ordinances and I want to propose a Food Freedom Ordinance similar to the ones being passed in Maine. Does anyone have any links to well worded ordinances? Looking to have something that at least in spirit establishes the independence and freedom of citizens to grow, sell, and distribute their own food free of regulation from the federal government.

I enjoyed seeing Pocket Rocket Stoves at the RMH workshop in Missoula last week, has anyone used one or something similar for portable heat in a wall tent? I’m going on a hunting trip in a few weeks and would prefer to build a stove instead of buying a more traditional wood stove. This is what I’m looking for to start:

Tent Dimensions 14 x 16’ or 15 x 18’

Safety Concerns – distance from wall, elevate on blocks.

Heating – is a 55 gallon drum design too large for that space? Heat while we are awake in the tent wouldn’t be an issue but I’m wondering about how to keep the tent warmish at night since the stove would go out. We will probably bring water jugs in for some thermal mass but I’m assuming that would be not nearly enough.
