I am ready to take the plunge into permaculture.   Where on your site should I post for workers?    I am 63yrs old So this is my last adventure.  I would be creating a legally binding partnership with right-of-survivorship with workers when I die or retire.

Just not sure where those kinds of posts should be listed?   I have a Realtor and am actively looking in California.   I don't see a section to buy or sell farms either which seems like there must be one so I must just not be seeing it.

Hi Linda! We have quite a few forums you could post in, most of which are in our Experiences catagory

We have a Land Share forum for those looking to share their land and potentially pass it onto the people they're sharing with: https://permies.com/f/27/land-share

For paying jobs, we have a Jobs Offered forum: https://permies.com/f/277/jobs-offered

For hosting volunteers, we have Volunteer Offerings: https://permies.com/f/271/volunteer-offerings

For selling real estate, we have Permaculture Real Estate: https://permies.com/f/163/real-estate


You might also be interested in our "Otis Program"--which is basically a way to connect people who wish to pass on their property to those who exhibit permaculture/homesteading skills: https://permies.com/t/141383/skills-inherit-property/Otises. The Otis Program is part of our SKills to Inherit Property (SKIP) curriculum which helps people learn and show off their permaculture skills.  (More about SKIP here: https://permies.com/wiki/skip-pep-bb)

Hopefully I haven't given too much info at once! If you have any questions about any of this, please feel free to ask!!!

There's all this stuff on rocket mass heaters and rocket ovens.... but how do they work? Quote: "The core of the rocket oven is the same as the core of a j-tube style rocket mass heater.   A super insulated wood feed, burn tunnel and heat riser.  This pushes the temperatures over 1500 degrees farenheit which burns the smoke and creosote completely - so now the smoke and creosote are bonus fuels.  We can now heat the oven with less fuel and the exhaust will be mostly steam and carbon dioxide. "

This is the (currently) fifth most popular video on Paul's YouTube Channel:

All this content looks amazing.

Apologies if this has already been addressed, but is it possible to buy the Permaculture Design Course and Appropriate Technology Course Videos - 177 Hours of Content as a physical DVD set rather than online streaming? I’d like to be able to access it if the internet is down. Thanks

You can put about two hours onto a DVD, so that would be about 85 DVDs.  So we never did that.  

They are offered as "tiny download" and "HD download" so you can put them on a memory card and then watch them when the internet is down.

i have produced ....   how many movies?

wood burning stoves 2 -> 4 movies
better wood heat -> 4 more movies
world domination gardening -> 3 more movies
tour movie
berm shed movie
greenhouse movie
rocket oven movie
free heat movie

I think the garden master course, the pdc and atc videos don't count as movies.  


16 movies?

Was thinking of purchasing the Roundwood Timber Framing video/plan bundle but just want to make sure I can access it from Canada. Assuming I can.

Viewing is fine.  But I cannot sell it to you.  

Sometimes we set stuff up at gumroad for 50% more.  Then gumroad sorts out all the tax stuff with canada.

(If we sell something here for $100, we offer it for $150 on gumroad.  Gumroad takes $15, canada takes $37.50, card stuff takes $5, that leaves us $92.50.)

So we have a bunch of stuff set up gumroad.  It takes us a few hours for each thing.  Of course, we kinda think a lot about "will we sell zero and this turns out to be a waste of time?"  We have had people insist they will buy it, and once we get it up there, they change their mind.  Ugh.  

This current special is set up just on permies.  So, just for US buyers.  About 85% of our peeps are in the US.

I'm open to suggestions about how to do all this stuff.
