    Is the Jamboree novice friendly and can a 17 year old attend with an accompanied adult?

    Yes and yes It's a great opportunity for learning, with no experience required, and you can practically immerse yourself as much or as little as you like.  With such a variety of tracks available, there will be something that will appeal to both of you I'm sure.  We look forward to seeing you both next year!

    If you're wondering what kind of cool stuff is done at these events, check out this new video where Paul takes a stroll to show off some of the results.

    The 2023 PTJ saw a new shaded area to help keep attendees cool!  Meet Bob!  The new sun shade solution at Wheaton Labs.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUcg__3k-IE

    So you'll be shaded from that summer sun when you attend the 2024 PTJ!

    For those under than 18yr we follow the principles laid out in our thistle program.

    The key points for an event:
    1. Work next to your parent
    2. Be respectful
    3. Obey

    We had a parent this year who left (the parent was respectful and left without being asked) because their child wasn't respectful.

    I'm a professional photographer & videographer, would you have a need for any pro-level photography or video? I'm a commercial photographer now, and I have a successful business, since 2013...thanks to God, being in Oregon. Paul Wheaton or crew, if you need some really incredible imagery I would be THRILLED to assist. You can see my work at https://lingmesser.com & you can reach me via the website

    We have had problems when we have hired "professional" videographers in the past.

    Last year we had much better luck with the participants taking video.

    If you want to purchase a ticket, you are encouraged to submit video you take.

    The Kickstarter Video Deal:
    For each minute of video you take and submit, that we use in a kickstarter movie, we will provide for you:

    - $50 (or $100, or $200 - see below)
    - 2 gift codes for the final product
    - $50 worth of digital market moichendize (PW)
    - $50 off a ticket(s) to future jamborees

    So if you set us up with 30 minutes of video that make it into a final kickstarter movie:

    - $1500 (or $3000, or $6000 - see below)
    - 60 gift codes for the final product
    - $1500 worth of digital market moichendize (PW)
    - $1500 off a ticket(s) to future jamborees

    Fine print:

    - for a kickstarter movie that brings in more than $50,000

      o $50 per minute if the kickstarter brings in $50k to $99K
      o $100 per minute if the kickstarter brings in $100k to $199K
      o $200 per minute if the kickstarter brings in more than $200K

    - prorated, so if we use 22 seconds you get 22/60 of a minute of this dealio

    - we might try to use your video for other stuff, but there is no compensation for that

      o "full event", "bonus video" or "stuff that didn't get into the movie"
      o stuff on youtube
      o etc.

    - we are considering if the next Low Tech movie is from a single event or combining the next two.

     
    What do you have to say for yourself? Hmmm? Anything? And you call yourself a tiny ad.
    The Permaculture Playing Cards are a great gift for a gardener
