Hi Kate - I pledged from the Kickstarter email link (since I got your 1 Year Off Grid Kitchen book), but then found this page.  Did it matter that I didn't use the Permies link?  

Are all the 15th-18th early bird extras going to be coming via Permies like Paul's projects (and thus into My Stuff file)?  Or will they be emailed separately?  Or from another entity?

Have no doubts I'll get them, just want to know what to look for.

Appreciate your efforts on the book - been wanting a good cheese book for a while...

Thanks, K

You'll get the bundle no matter what link you used, so all good : )

There's around 24 hours left of the bundle now.

Some of the goodies will be emailed out from me, and I will send a Kickstarter update to let people know when those are sent out, so that you can check spam folder if needed. Other goodies will be sent via the Permies system.

Here's the link to the Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/706848724/make-your-own-cheese-natural-small-batch-cheesemaking-book?ref=bs5kn5

I missed this bundle as we were dealing with family life and was not on computer. This is an awesome bundle. If you do it again, or if it is still available, I would definitely back the kick starter for a few bucks. Carla

Dang it! I missed the kickstarter by one day because of life issues. But I ordered anyway. Your book looks tremendous and I can't wait for it to come out. Good luck and thanks for writing this book. I sure need it.  <3

I'm sorry you both missed out. I definitely can understand the feeling as I am sometimes offline for days at a time, come back, and find out that I've missed out on something good.

There are purchase links above with the photos and descriptions, so for most things it's possible to purchase them here on the Permies digital market, which helps to keep Permies running. I can't offer them up for free, as I made a deal with everyone involved and it wouldn't be fair on the creators, or the earlybird backers to change anything about it.
