#626: "What are YOUR 20 easiest BB's?" https://permies.com/t/143378/skills-inherit-property/easiest-BB
I'd love to hear what different people's 20 easiest BB's are...
My books, movies, videos, podcasts, events ... the big collection of paul wheaton stuff!

paul wheaton wrote:The suggestions so far:
- introduce BB5, BB10 and BB20 (we're working on this now)
...
What about "air badge"? A rather white badge for each aspect showing that you are actively working on that badge - that you have completed at least one BB?

That said ... I'm still not sure what benefit I'll derive from this. I know that completing BBs helps the overall program by populating the library. Weirdly enough, I'd rather be certified to teach/supervise others in a set of BBs - I've got plenty of acres and trees to play with and would genuinely enjoy working with people who don't have trees, chainsaws, backhoes, batteries, rocket ovens, etc. Doing so might require some dispensation on the terms - such as cutting down live trees instead of dead ones, and I'd definitely want them to show BB5 or BB10 status before I share any time.

Inge Leonora-den Ouden wrote:Hi Elliot, probably in that case you'd better have your own PEX (named PEE? for Permaculture Experience according to Elliot). Then you can make your own terms / rules and invent your own badges and BBs. People who come and work/play there with you can earn those, instead of Paul's.

The forum is a catastrophe to navigate especially when looking for the PEP badge info, and the threads that this information is contained in is lacking sources as I mentioned, or it is formatted horribly.

We're deliberately trying to NOT tell you how to do the task or teach you how to do it. That's up to you. Often we're very helpful and include a youtube video that we think could help. But the point of this journey is for you to do a bit of research on your own so you can accomplish the task. In learning about each BB you probably accidentally learn something else that will help in your life (or in doing another BB).brenden elrod wrote:If all the badges had reliable sources on the "how-to's"
We've been working to make the navigation a bit better but I doubt it will get tremendously better than it is in This Thread. That thread lists all the badges and you're two clicks away from the details of any BB.brenden elrod wrote:and if the badges were more neatly organized (perhaps a spreadsheet) so all the information is easily accessible I would feel more enticed to earn these badges.

So I think the advantages to someone like you and me could be:
Get to collect badges Get apples Get pie since every 20 apples gets you pie Earn the possible admiration of your peers Impress an Otis who knows you don't want land but sends you a gift for your awesomeness Gives you the credibility to talk to others about PEP Makes it easier to get PEPpers to come to your place to work on their BBs and leave hugels behind
None of these may be enticing to you but I figured I'd take a shot at coming up with some possibilities.

Each visit to Wheaton Labs, I learn better how to use large machinery just as you describe.
I would bet someone with the PEP Earthworks Sand Badge could be a resource, and keen to share their skills and knowledge, as well.

Hi Rob. Hoping you will still visit this thread! You can still get the BBs (even Badges) for the things you've already done. You only have to do them again, make photos and post those in the Badge thread.
That's what I do now and it's fun! I even start doing things I didn't do before ...
