I am jumping for Joy.  Really looking forward to seeing the finished video and receiving the stretch goal candy.  The only way is up.
Having done the course online, it will be great to have a refresher.  From memory and in my experience following the course, the information can be used anywhere.

For anyone who backs the Garden Master Course Kickstarter   by 2PM MT Friday, October 21, 2002; they get this Homestead Harvest Bundle. It includes:

The Art of Fire by E.K. Wisner is an introductory booklet to fire that will appeal to the novice and the skilled wood burners. It covers preparation, fire layout, fire devices (cookstove, fireplaces, heater, etc.), and the place of fire in human history.

Helen Atthowe's PDC Presentation: Soil Strategies
Helen Atthowe was a guest instructor at the 2017 Permaculture Design Course at Wheaton Labs in Montana. In this presentation, Helen discusses her Soil Strategies.  She uses case studies, data, and anecdotes to paint a picture of a holistic and observational approach.

This presentation is part of the 177 hours of that Permaculture Design Course.
This course, plus the Appropriate Technology Course which followed, were filmed, and are available for purchase at:
https://permaculture-design-course.com

Hey Staff,
FYI, the 70k stretch goal isn't being advertised on kickstarter. I'd hate for the kickstarter people to think that the stretch goals have stopped.

Hhhmmm, it is showing for me now.

Can you please check again? Maybe one of the other staff has fixed it.

I backed at the lower than $100 level before the early bird ran out. But now with all of the stretch goals being reached, I am considering backing at the $100 level. If I decide to do this, will it be considered a new pledge and then I will miss out on the early bird rewards?

Great question Vinnie!  From what I understand, if you adjust your backer level, all the information about when you originally backed the kickstarter is still there.  You woudn't lost your early bird rewards!  We are grateful for anyone who backs our campaign and want you to get all the goodies!

I just bumped my $80 pledge to $100 and I think pushed the total over $70k.

Just to be clear, when the kickstarter is over, we will ask everybody at $100 or more "do you wanna?" and the top 4 that say "yes" get to do it!
