Back the BEL, Ring the BEL (Bootcamp Experience Log)

We all love to see all the wonderful, inspiring, and ground-breaking work being done to advance Permaculture at Wheaton Labs.  Most of that work is done by the boots in the Permaculture Bootcamp.  

The thing is, if we do these awesome things and nobody ever hears about it, who cares?  On the other hand, if we do these awesome things, post a few pictures, and maybe tell a brief tale about the undertaking, people see it, love it, and are inspired to do similar things in their neck of the woods.  And, over time, the world does indeed change for the better.

To incentivize this participation in the bootcamp and posting of activities, we're rolling out the BEL program, or the Bootcamp Experience Log.  It works like this:

1) Join the Bootcamp.
2) Start a thread here at permies to share what you're doing with the world.
3) After 100 posts, you get to Ring the BEL, and you get 10% of the money in the BEL.  
4) More people invest in the BEL due to your wonderful experience log, the BEL grows, rinse and repeat unto glory.

People put up good money to reward boots for sharing, so at this time, the reward is pretty significant.  I can't say how much, but I know the last boot to ring the bell got well into 4 digits for his generous sharing of his experience.  I'm hoping that, in time, the pile of money gets bigger and bigger, while more and more boots are coming and cashing in.

Here are the folks who have put up coin sing the dawn of the BEL:
