Hi, Planning to work on a cob house and I just wonder where did any of you that have built one before has slept during the building process?
I thought about staying in a tent, or renting somewhere nearby. But feel like there might be more creative ideas that will be more comfortable than a tent but closer to the site than renting in a city.
Thank you

Thank you all for your answers!
I have decided I definitely get that degree, Rajendra Singh, as I have now read is doing very inspiring work and of the kind I am looking to get involved in, specifically in india, But take notice that he is an educated man.
I would be able to finance my schooling, that not a main concern, education is more affordable here in Israel then in the US, and I will continue to work while studying.
Thank you for the notes on choosing "hard sciences" will definitely give it my best and choose other courses that fits my interests, I am really interested about water, and that's the what I will specialise in, and I can take some other courses on agriculture and environmental science, the Technion, where I'll be studying, is shifting to a more environmental aware paradigm.
The current war going on here made me doubt the security of my future here, and consider alternative options. but I remain hopeful and focused on my purpose
This forum is great, thank you again<3

Thank you for this answer
I see what you mean, as a PDC is not really recognised in most places in the world, I just want to get more hands on experience, which I can during my studies...
The best way to go about it might be to be conventionally educated and the later apply permaculture principles in practice.
Wow you were hired as a permaculture consultant? what sort of organisations did you work for?

Hey there:)
My name is Amit, 22 years old and new to this forum:)
A few months a go a visit to Auroville, where I volunteered in a permaculture farm, has given me a tremendous inspiration and a new life calling.
I have read bill mollison's "permaculture: a designer's manual" and I now know this is what I want to commit my life to and contribute to the world, nature and life itself.

My dilemma is wether I should study water engineering to get a good scientific foundation, as I want to work on a large scale, improve water harvesting in villages and perhaps work in cities as well. I feel like if I only wanted to build a permaculture house and garden for myself that would be possible with self education, as I learn very well from books and online resources.
On the other, it might be a waste to study in an institute the teaches conventional means of water management, focusing on technological solutions rather then on the simple natural solutions that we strive for in permaculture design, Im afraid to be lead away from those core principles.

So, what do you think? I would love to hear from anyone with experience on broader permaculture projects, do you think I can start without an academic degree? perhaps a PDC is enough?

Thank you:)
