I will leave this at a dollar for a few more hours cuz i said i would.  Plus, I would still like to get verification that paypal is working with the digital market.

Just purchased as gift, working!

Working for me - paypal uses a hybrid of Google Cloud (GCP), Amazon (AWS) and their own private datacenters to support availability. Guessing you might be getting directed AWS' way since they're having yet another outage.

Bits and Bobs - best coffee table book yet? Of course the digital version will have the clickable links to drive traffic to permies - but I'm definitely liking how it appears to be shaping up!

Some thoughts for the slightly larger eBook version:

True 24/7 food preservation independence! (eliminating reliance on electrical grid and expensive electric dehydrators - guaranteed harvest preservation no matter the time or weather)

From a response above: Clean Burning Technology! The heat channeled into the dehydrator is clean and smokeless; the RMH wood exhaust (which is routed away) is virtually pollution-free making this powered by truly 'green' heat sources.

The thermal mass in this guy is a Heat Battery! It helps bridge the gap between sun and fire energy sources; by absorbing solar heat during the day and wood heat from a brief evening or early morning burn, heat is slowly released to maintain stable drying temperatures throughout the cool hours.

Now...we get someone to monster garage a solar panel to power a fan & thermostat that kicks on when the temperature goes over 140 degrees...and we get to say we're maximizing the nutrient and enzyme content of our goodies too!

Hi Ryan, just checking in for this Sunday! Possible address for the shindig?

At least 2 more excited to join from Post Falls, ID!

Definitely agree on the attention grabber - maybe something link "Your Apartment, Your Wallet, Our Planet: Smart Choices for a Better Life"

I say wallet because when we're talking about apartment dwellers I'm thinking about the bell curve of inhabitants and their socio-economic condition (I know where I was when I lived in them). Saving the planet didn't resonate the same way saving time and money did.

Maybe list of the top 10 (clickbait) most impactful micro-changes a person could make, with an appeal to share their experiences in forum where others are doing so (shameless permies.com/forum plug), and then of course

"From apartment to Farming Homestead: How I SKIP'd my next apartment and home rentals and entered Home Ownership by..." [Food Prep Badge bb's, Greywater adapted for Apt. dwellers bb, Natural medicine bb's, Plumbing bb's, etc.]

Maybe too nit-picky, but possibly consider rewording the 'We Empower' second sentence to "Only together can we make that possible." ?

Hi Beau! 2 topics I'm keenly interested in are:

How does mushroom as insulation work for say homebuilding where you have inspections during the build process and/or home insurance impacts?

What do you think of the feasibility of using it as the primary insulation source for say a solar lumber kiln (like these: https://extension.okstate.edu/fact-sheets/basics-of-solar-lumber-drying.html) where there will likely be high moisture?
