The Permaculture Technology Jamboree 2023 was a resounding success! The Wheaton Labs community, in collaboration with expert instructors and enthusiastic attendees, created innovative artifacts that are redefining the potential of what a permaculture perspective can offer humanity—surpassing the expectations set by past events.

The team present at the event captured an extensive amount of footage, far exceeding our initial estimates. This comprehensive collection provides a detailed look at all the processes, from design to implementation, of these sustainable solutions. After reviewing the raw material, I am confident that we can craft an exceptional movie, sharing with the world the groundbreaking experiments conducted at Wheaton Labs.







and much more!

What do you say—Will you help us create a film?

Saturday, October 14th 10am mountain time

It will be on Youtube for 30 minutes minimum, 3 hours max.

For every $1000 that the backathon raises, the top 3 backers/raisers during the backathon time get to choose:

- one week cabin rental
- one hour consultation
- the 133 hours (PDC/ATC vid)
- ticket to the october event
- one of the books or a deck of cards

So if we raise $3000, there will be 9 people getting bonus goodies.

For every $15 the kickstarter brings in during this event, Paul will stay on for 1 more minute.

I have some talkie-bits picked out, but you can ask questions and stuff too.  I have never done this before, so I am not sure of what to expect.

Check out the Kickstarter.  All I will say is y'all are great!  Stretch goal hit....woohoo!  I'm so looking forward to watching the 45 Low Tech Talk.  Thank you.

And now I'm looking forward to finding out what the next stretch goal is.

And looking forward to seeing who posts the current total

5 days left.  

I'm also looking forward to seeing how much support our community can muster for all the great work happening at Wheaton Labs (thank you everyone there making this all happen).

It is great to see so many backers for this kickstarter!

Thank you everybody!

I am so glad this work appeals to people and they are willing to put up $$ to see these projects completed and have these movies made to share all this great knowledge.
