BACKED IT! Also picked up the first book in the series as an add on!

And the rocket stuff, and the... well, all of it!
Yeah, I upped mine to get some of the other book and cards as well.
Just so much AWESOME content!

Logging out of permies and logging back in worked for me all.

The graphic pointing out what all the backers would get at X level and the value they showed were good. Earlier on might help as well.
When things are rolling fast having the next 2 stretch goals would help. You all did that toward the end. Maybe put up the 2nd up stretch goal when present level reaches over half way?
So for instance putting up the $45,000 stretch goal graphic when the funding hits $37,500, etc.
You could expand the reach for promotions but moving into self preparedness areas and such would probably expand the base into things that would require to much support. Expanding the scope beyond the proper function type thing.

But if you did nothing different, you were darn near perfect!

what a lovely ride.  What a cool thing.  I suggest everybody should do a kickstarter - it's rather soul building!

This kickstarter should be the example for how to do things like this. Totally a win win for everyone involved, authors, content producers, backers, everyone. Totally a no brainer for anyone with even an inkling of interest in gardening, conservation, or homesteading skills or so much more!
Thanks so much Mike and Paul for pushing through and getting this going.
Just awesome!

It was my idea.

I thought it would be a helpful thing.

Hey, world domination isn't an exact art! You guys are literally writing the book on it!
Looks like it got a lot of people thinking...
$114,492 baby!!

Early on in the kickstarter it predicted over $300K.  My guess is that if we achieve another stretch goal or two the "sprint to the finish" will only get stronger.  At least that's what I'm telling myself...

Thanks for your support, this has been a wild ride!

Ahh, so it's just projecting support over the life dependent on the supports so far. Yeah, that's only close to accurate toward the end.
To bad. With the kickstarters you have done you have a wealth of data. To bad they can't make good use of that.

I especially like the trending feature. It's nice to know what you might be looking at.
Are these usually accurate or fairly close?
